60 Minutes: Apr 10

On 60 Minutes this Sunday, Mark Burrows reports from Poland on why the country fears it’s next to suffer Vladimir Putin’s savagery.

For Tilly’s Sake
If you ask any parent of a teenager about getting their child to give up social media, chances are they’ll say it’s impossible. Of course, being connected to the online world does have advantages, but all too often, alongside the good lurks the bad. For 15-year-old Tilly Rosewarne the bad was very bad. The prolonged cyber-bullying she endured felt merciless. Her mum and dad tried their best to stop it, but still couldn’t save their precious daughter. In February this year Tilly committed suicide. As Emma Mason and Murray Rosewarne continue to struggle to accept her death, they’ve decided they must act. As they tell Sarah Abo, the couple want to warn unsuspecting parents and vulnerable teenagers about the dangers of popular social media apps like Snapchat.

On the Brink
Six weeks into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s armed forces have distinguished themselves not by their skill but by their savagery. The dictator’s soldiers have committed horrific war crimes against hundreds, and more likely thousands, of innocent civilians. But while he watches Ukrainians suffer, Putin is also planning his next moves. On assignment for 60 Minutes, 9News correspondent Mark Burrows reports from Poland where its people suspect they’ll be the next country targeted. But while they desperately want to avoid conflict, they also want to send a message of defiance to Putin: if the Russian leader thinks the Poles are unprepared for battle, he should think again.
