S58 E22 Elemental Crisis | Turning the Ship Around | The Dog Aging Project
本集简介

Elemental Crisis – In what might be the ultimate front of the U.S. trade war with China, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports from the only active rare earth mine in the U.S., deep in the Mojave Desert near the California-Nevada border. Today, China holds a near-monopoly over the strategic metals that are key components in smartphones, robotics and EVs, but also fighter jets, drones and radar technology. Wertheim looks at the private company, now partly owned by the federal government, that is ramping up rare earth mining, processing, and magnet-making in response to China's threats to cut off rare earth exports. Graham Messick is the producer. 

Turning the Ship Around – Shipbuilding in the United States has been decimated over the decades by shortsighted policies and neglect. Today, the U.S. builds about three large cargo ships a year while China rolls out around 1,000. The Trump administration has called this a national security crisis and is making it a priority to revive the American shipbuilding industry. One solution comes from our ally, South Korea. Hanwha, the Korean ship-making giant, is hoping to help resurrect the industry in the U.S. by buying and reviving the Philadelphia shipyard. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from Hanwha's shipyards in Korea and Philadelphia. Shachar Bar-On and Jinsol Jung are the producers. 

The Dog Aging Project – Progress in treating diseases of aging, such as Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, has been difficult, and a new research initiative finds that dogs could help change that. Scientists are discovering that the biology of aging in our canine companions has striking parallels to human aging. Our dogs develop many of the same diseases we do and have remarkably similar brain structures. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on the Dog Aging Project that is collecting data on more than 50,000 dogs across the country in hopes of providing insight into both canine and human disease and revealing pathways to help humans and our four-legged friends live longer, healthier lives. Denise Schrier Cetta is the producer.

Choke Point | Laser Focus | Growing Up Behind Walls

Choke Point – Even in its weakened state after two weeks of war, Iran maintains its chokehold on one of the most important shipping channels in the world: the Strait of Hormuz. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on the unprecedented closure of the 21-mile-wide waterway, which has stranded roughly 700 cargo ships and oil tankers in the Persian Gulf - increasing gas prices to their highest level in years. Lucy Hatcher and Jessica Kegu are the producers. 

Laser Focus – Iran has made extensive use of cheap drones in the war to menace the U.S. military and allies in the Persian Gulf. One emerging counter-drone solution is laser systems. Correspondent Lesley Stahl visits one Pentagon contractor developing such a system to explore how advanced lasers work and whether they are ready to be deployed. Shachar Bar-On and Jinsol Jung are the producers.

Growing Up Behind Walls – Sixteen years after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the government has all but collapsed, and gangs battle for control of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Correspondent Anderson Cooper visits an orphanage in the besieged city where children have been sheltered from the violence for more than four years. Run by bestselling author Mitch Albom, the organization Have Faith Haiti  takes in vulnerable children and, with an emphasis on education and faith, gives them a chance at an extraordinary future. Denise Schrier Cetta is the producer.
