IRAN'S ASSASSINS - While Iran's backing of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon is widely known, the regime is quietly carrying out a shadow war in the U.S. and Europe, deploying proxy assassins to silence or eliminate critics of the regime. Britain's head of counter-terrorism policing, Matt Jukes, tells correspondent Lesley Stahl they're noticing a significant uptick in Iran's efforts. In the U.S., Stahl meets some of the targets, including former White House national security adviser John Bolton and Iranian American activist Masih Alinejad. Shachar Bar-On is the producer.

RED AND GREEN - Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from the conservative state of Wyoming and meets with its surprisingly climate-crusading Republican governor, Mark Gordon. Currently in his second term, Gordon has set a goal to make Wyoming not just carbon-neutral but carbon-negative in CO2 emissions. It's an audacious idea, since Wyoming is the nation's largest coal producer by far. Despite taking heat from climate change deniers in his own party, Gordon tells Whitaker he's sticking to his goal, and to his "all of the above" approach to energy. Rome Hartman is the producer.

PINK - Cecilia Vega profiles international punk rock/pop princess Alecia Moore - also known as Pink - as she celebrates 25 years of her successful music-making career. Vega meets Pink at her home in California, stops backstage on her tour and traces her somewhat troubled journey to superstardom. John Hamlin and Kara Vaccaro are the producers.

Airs 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/ PT

AN AMERICAN IN CHINA - Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from China as one of the few Western journalists to enter the People's Republic since 2020, when the Chinese government under the direction of President Xi Jinping expelled some journalists and restricted access to others in the foreign media. Stahl interviews U.S. ambassador to China Nicholas Burns on the contentious U.S.-China relationship, American and foreign investment in the wake of expanded espionage laws and intellectual property theft under Xi and the state of China's floundering economy as its population ages and shrinks. Stahl also reports on the mood of the country after its oppressive zero-COVID policy. This is a double-length segment. Richard Bonin is the producer of part one. He and Mirella Brussani are the co-producers of part two.

A QUIET INVASION - Days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the country of Georgia applied for membership to the European Union, fearing that it could become Vladimir Putin's next target. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi meets with Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili in Tbilisi to discuss that E-U bid, the presence of Russian troops inside Georgia's borders, the recent influx of Russian residents and Kremlin influenced politics and propaganda, signaling a quiet invasion that she says is threatening the future of her country. Ashley Velie is the producer.
