"60 MINUTES" LISTINGS FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 17

SHIELDS UP - As Russia continues its war on Ukraine, the Biden administration is warning about Kremlin-directed cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in the United States. Bill Whitaker reports on the growing threat, speaking with top government officials and private sector cybersecurity leaders about how the United States is mounting a digital defense. Marc Lieberman and Graham Messick are the producers.

RUNNING VOLKSWAGEN - Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess sits down with 60 MINUTES' Lesley Stahl to discuss how the giant German automaker tackles issues like rising prices at the pump, the war in Ukraine, COVID-19 unraveling supply chains, and the increasing concern over climate change. Diess has set his company a goal: he wants at least half of his fleet to be electric cars by the end of the decade - not an easy mission for an 85-year-old car company. Shachar Bar-On is the producer.

eVTOLs - 60 MINUTES' Anderson Cooper takes a look at what could be the next big thing in transportation: eVTOLs, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircrafts.

Sound too good to be true? Cooper went for a ride to find out. Nichole Marks is the producer.
