Havana Syndrome, Rapid Success
On 60 Minutes how has a secret weapon brought down hundreds of high-ranking United States government workers? Plus kayaker Jess Fox is profiled.
Havana Syndrome
Some people might applaud the ingenuity; most though would condemn the barbarity. A secret new weapon has apparently been developed and is being used to target hundreds of high-ranking United States government workers. Those affected include diplomats, military officials, and spies, who believe they've been struck down in mysterious circumstances by strange energy waves. After being attacked, the victims report a range of debilitating neurological ailments that have seriously impaired their lives. In this special report for 60 Minutes, Dimity Clancey investigates the so-called "Havana Syndrome". The condition got its name because it was first detected in Cuba, but there are no prizes for guessing it's another country accused of engineering it.

Rapid Success
Between them, Jess Fox's parents, Richard Fox and Myriam Fox-Jerusalmi, won 18 world titles in paddling, and were trailblazers in the sport. It's little surprise then that from the moment Jess was born, she was destined to have the considerable skills and daring needed to race down rapids in a kayak and a canoe. What wasn't predicted was just how successful she'd become. Experts now say Jess Fox is the greatest paddler of all time. And as Adam Hegarty reports, that's the best news for Australia as this champion prepares for the Paris Games. It will be her fourth Olympics, another extraordinary feat, but even more significantly for Jess, this time there's the strong chance she'll be joined by a very special team mate: her sister, Noemie Fox.
