05/11/2025: Fraud, To Walk Again, Jamie Lee Curtis

Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on rampant fraud in government programs like unemployment, food stamps, disaster aid and more. With few safeguards at state and federal levels, taxpayers are falling victim to complex schemes carried out by scammers, hackers and transnational criminal organizations, costing the government hundreds of billions of dollars each year. For people who’ve suffered traumatic spinal cord injuries that have caused paralysis, positive news has been scarce. However, as correspondent Anderson Cooper discovers, innovative technology now in an early clinical trial is allowing participants to stand up and walk or move their arms – by thinking about it. Cooper reports from the NeuroRestore research lab in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he meets the team leading this groundbreaking research and hears the stories of patients enrolled in the trial. Jamie Lee Curtis has been making movies for almost 50 years. Not surprising for a child born into Hollywood royalty. But to hear her tell it, leaving school as a teenager, only to graduate into an A-list movie star before she was 30, was never the plan. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi talks with Curtis in Los Angeles about her long career in tinsel town and about her recent wave of award-winning performances that came to her in her 60’s.
