40 分钟As Spain fights for the extradition of a former U.S. Marine for his attempt to aid North Korean embassy workers in defecting in Madrid, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviews the man at the center, Christopher Ahn, in Southern California. Ahn details his 2019 mission with Cheollima Civil Defense to free the North Koreans and the legal hurdles he’s now facing at home and abroad as the FBI warns his life is in danger. This is a double-length segment. At 37-years-old, Novak Djokovic is one of the most dominant athletes in professional sports, having captured 24 major tennis singles titles, more than his longtime rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. He is now considered the greatest men’s tennis player of all time. Correspondent Jon Wertheim goes inside the mind of the record-breaking star in his hometown of Belgrade, Serbia and speaks with him about his vaccination controversy at the Australian Open, his work promoting tennis player equity and the reason why he plans to stay on the court.

This American believes he is an endangered man.
The FBI has told me that my life is in danger, that the North Korean government is now and will be targeting me for assassination.
Can you do this?
How about this?
Novak Djokovic can.
And that's why he's the greatest champion in the history of men's tennis.
He clearly wanted to leave his mark on this interview, too.
Mental strength, which is what I think is your great gift, is much harder to articulate.
Can you.
I would have to correct you.
I have to correct you.
It's not a gift.
It's something that comes with work.
