"60 MINUTES" LISTINGS FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 21

Editor's Note: These previously broadcast segments have been updated for this post-season edition.

BELLINGCAT - As reports of war crimes in Ukraine continue at the hands of the Russian military, 60 MINUTES goes inside Bellingcat, a team of online data detectives, and its investigations to look at how they build their cases. Scott Pelley speaks with founder Eliot Higgins about how his organization is building a database of social media exposing the alleged war crimes. Pelley reports that Bellingcat has trained more than 4,000 journalists and war crimes investigators in its techniques of geolocation, verification and data mining. Henry Schuster is the producer.

JUSTICE DEFENDERS - Anderson Cooper reports from Kenya on an organization committed to seeking justice and changing lives by providing legal education and counsel to tens of thousands of inmates, most of whom have not been represented by a lawyer. Michael Gavshon and Kate Morris are the producers.

BALLET IN EXILE - 60 MINUTES pulls back the curtain and looks at how Russia's invasion of Ukraine is developing on the most delicate of fronts: the world's ballet stages. Correspondent Jon Wertheim meets Russian dancer Olga Smirnova - one of the world's leading ballerinas - who condemned the invasion, left Moscow's famed Bolshoi company in protest and fled the country. He sits down with a young Ukrainian dancer who's found a safe haven in Amsterdam to continue her dreams; the American who helped relocate her and more than a hundred Ukrainian dancers through the international ballet community; and a Ukrainian dancer-turned-soldier as conflict rages at home. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.
