RELIEF, N.C. – Reporting from the Appalachian Mountains, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsisurveys one of the hardest hit areas of Hurricane Helene, a category four storm that tore through six states more than three weeks ago.

All are attempting to rebuild – most have no insurance. Ashley Velie is the producer.

NAVALNY – Months after anti-Putin activist Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison, his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, now the leading figure of his political movement, speaks with correspondent Lesley Stahl in her first U.S. interview about her late husband's posthumous memoir. Navalnaya discusses the book, Navalny's last act of defiance against the Kremlin, which chronicles his final three years behind bars under often brutal conditions, believed to be ordered by Russian president Vladimir Putin. She details his clandestine operation for penning the memoir inside a high-security prison and then smuggling it out, why the couple decided to return to Russia after Navalny was poisoned and her daring campaign for justice in the wake of his death. Richard Bonin is the producer.

THE SWINGIEST COUNTY – Correspondent Jon Wertheim travels to Door County, Wis., a bucolic coastal community where political party loyalty is up for grabs and residents have successfully voted for the winning candidate in every presidential election this century. Door County is the only swing state county with this distinction. Wertheim travels to Door County to get to know its residents and look for the mystery voter who's voted both Republican and Democrat successfully in every election since 2000. Draggan Mihailovich is the producer.

THE CAP ARCONA – Bill Whitakerreports from Germany's Baltic Coast on the bombing of the Cap Arcona, a little-known human tragedy in the closing days of World War II in Europe. Once a luxurious German ocean liner, the Cap Arcona was commandeered by the Nazis and, at war's end, turned into a floating concentration camp. Thousands of prisoners were killed in the aerial attack. Whitaker interviews historians and Holocaust survivors who witnessed the bombing to bring this largely overlooked chapter of history to light. This is a double-length segment. Marc Lieberman is the producer.
