Betting on War | The Knowledge | Christopher Nolan
2025-26 SEASON FINALE
Betting on War - Last month a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier was indicted for using classified intelligence to make bets online. It comes as online prediction markets have exploded in popularity. The war in Iran and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have revealed suspiciously timed bets on when an attack might happen, even the fate of world leaders. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the phenomenon of betting on war and the creation of a whole new category of insider trading. Andy Bast and Jessica Kegu are the producers.
The Knowledge - As tech companies promise that AI-powered autonomous vehicles will transform transportation, correspondent Anderson Cooper takes a ride down the ancient roads and medieval alleyways of London in the iconic black cab. London's black cab industry still relies on a 161-year-old test called "the Knowledge," requiring prospective cabbies to memorize thousands of London's landmarks and the shortest routes between them all. Cooper reports on this legacy institution and why London cab drivers aren't about to hand over their keys to big tech. Katie Brennan is the producer.
Christopher Nolan - Legendary Hollywood director Christopher Nolan, whose blockbuster films have earned 18 Academy Awards, meets with correspondent Scott Pelley ahead of the release of his highly anticipated adaption of Homer's classic "The Odyssey." Pelley interviews Nolan and those who know him best about his filmmaking at a young age, his trademarks and his most ambitious project yet. Nicole Young is the producer.
