1 小时 4 分钟Next Sunday, December 8, the arched doors of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris will open to the public for the first time since April 2019, when a devastating fire nearly destroyed the great Gothic church. What will they see? Correspondent Bill Whitaker has a first look inside a modern miracle of repair and restoration by workers and artisans who made possible French President Emmanuel Macron’s impossible-sounding pledge to complete the rebirth in five years. As Macron tells Whitaker, “The decision to rebuild Notre Dame was…about our capacity to save, restore, sometimes reinvent what we are by preserving where we come from.” Located in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and only accessible by boat, Smith Island, Maryland is a place where time stands still, and its residents speak a unique dialect. Rising sea levels and erosion are changing the landscape and placing residents at risk of becoming some of the country's first climate refugees. Correspondent Jon Wertheim meets these locals to hear how climate change threatens their way of life - and the island itself - but where their perseverance and pride are inspiring a new generation of islanders. Correspondent Cecilia Vega travels to the UK for an intimate portrait of actor Kate Winslet, Hollywood's most non-Hollywood A-Lister, and discusses her transformative journey to starring in and producing her latest film, “Lee.” Winslet, who has been a vocal advocate against the insults and inequalities facing women in the film industry, relies on this experience for her current role, portraying American photographer Lee Miller, who worked for Vogue as one of the few female war correspondents on the frontline of WWII. As Vega discovers, Winslet and Miller share a resilience and see the world through a similar lens, making her connection more than just a role. After the dramatic exit of the United States military from Afghanistan in 2021 left the country under Taliban control, U.S. allies found themselves in danger. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the unimaginable story of nearly 400 Afghans who were evacuated under the guise of a wedding party. Wertheim reveals the treacherous, high stakes rescue operation organized by American citizens and led by former Army intelligence officer Jason Kander that concealed men, women, and children in an Afghan wedding palace.

Tonight, 60 Minutes brings you on a tour of the restoration of Notre Dame.
Since more than eight centuries, this Catalon was here.
It resisted to two world wars, so many battles and campaigns, the decision to rebuild Notre Dame.
It was about our capacity to save, restore, sometimes reinvent what we are by preserving where we come from.
This is a message of achievement.
Smith island is a tapestry of marshland, winding creeks and mudflats.
Waterfowl outnumber people here.
Then again, the population, having dwindled by more than half since the 1990s, hovers around 200.
With no airport or bridge, everything, groceries, utility workers, doctors, even the pastor comes by boat.
Life on the island must abide by Mother Nature's fickle nature.
If the weather is bad, you're stuck.
When we met Kate Winslet last month outside London.
Ok, we're getting some of that.
We found the actress to be remarkably unhollywood.
Thank you.
And capable of sounding remarkably, well, un British.
She's probably lying at the bottom of the Delaware river right now.
And why is the filly so hard?
