how climate change is affecting home insurance across the country, and how scientists successfully transplanted a kidney from a pig to a human.
But first to a trial in France.
The world has been following in horror for months.
And a warning.
The segment has descriptions of sexual abuse.
Any day now, judges will hand down verdicts for dozens of men accused of raping Gisele Pellico.
She stunned the world by rejecting her right to anonymity and demanding a public trial for her now ex husband, Dominique, and at least 50 other people allegedly involved.
She said she wants to show the world that survivors shouldn't be ashamed.
Ashamed of abuse.
Police say Pellico's ex husband, over the course of about a decade, repeatedly invited men to their home to rape her after he drugged her with sleeping pills, leaving her unconscious.
He arranged the abuse in chat rooms with men between the ages of 26 and 74 from all walks of life.
Police identified dozens of suspects from footage of the abuse her husband collected, but authorities believe more than 70 men were involved.
Authorities started looking into the husband after he was caught filming up women's skirts in public.
It was only until that incident was investigated that Pellico came to learn what happened to her.
For years, she had been confused about strange symptoms.
