42 分钟Days before America elects its 60th president of the United States, all eyes are on Georgia after it was a center of the scheme to overthrow the 2020 election. In this year’s high-stakes race, correspondent Scott Pelley reports on how Georgia officials plan to ensure public trust, combat election fraud conspiracy theories, and protect the safety of poll workers. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade, 20 states have either banned or severely restricted abortions, six states have voted to protect access to them, and this Tuesday voters in 10 states will decide on adding abortion rights to their state constitutions. To better understand the profound impact of the fast changing and complex legal landscape, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi visited Texas, the first state to change its abortion laws. Alfonsi interviewed doctors and mothers who say the laws intended to stop abortions are resulting in unintended consequences, hurting women with desired pregnancies and the people who care for them. Tiny Denmark—with its population of six million of the world's wealthiest and healthiest people—is suddenly home to Europe's largest company, Novo Nordisk. The company's weight loss wonder drugs Ozempic and Wegovy have slimmed down millions while adding great heft to the Danish economy. The firm now has a market cap of roughly half a trillion dollars, which is larger than the entire country’s GDP. Jon Wertheim travels to the Baltic to see how a country with a slender ego is coping with this unlikely injection of fantastic wealth.

Election Day comes in an anxious time.
Why should Americans have confidence in this election?
We have tons of people, processes and policies in place in all 50 states in the district to assure that the outcome of the election is correct.
Correct, but maybe not as fast as our nerves would like.
So on election night, don't expect to know the winner.
We probably will have a pretty good idea who won the presidency maybe around Thursday or Friday.
Tonight you will hear from doctors who say the new abortion laws in Texas are creating unintended consequences for medical professionals and the women they care for.
Five years ago I could counsel a patient on all the various treatment options and now it is a dangerous situation for me.
Dangerous because.
Because I could face life in prison just for having a conversation with my patient about evidence based care.
There is very little rotten in the state of Denmark.
This is the land that gave us Lego, province of pedaling all fishing nets and safety nets.
Today the spike in demand for the Danish made drug Ozempic is fattening the country's economy, creating thousands of jobs and keeping mortgage rates low.
And the pharmaceutical giant behind it all, Novo Nordisk, now has a market cap larger than Denmark's entire gdp.
