60 Minutes will air an interview with American 60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan who became news herself when she was attacked by crowds when reporting in Cairo.
Violated
Sometimes as a journalist you convince yourself that you’re bullet proof. Certainly American 60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan believed it. She’d survived war zones and worked in some of the most dangerous places on earth, so she felt safe enough in Cairo a few months back while covering those massive rallies after the fall of President Mubarak. But without warning, the mob turned on her. What happened next changed her life forever. It’s confronting stuff, but as Lara told her colleague Scott Pelley, she was determined to speak out and encourage other assault victims to do the same.

Osama’s Deadly Legacy
Well they finally got their man. Almost a decade after the murderous 9/11 attacks, American forces this week located and killed terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden, but that doesn’t mean the world is now a safer place. Bin Laden has left behind a deadly legacy, an army of teenaged foot soldiers willing to martyr themselves for the cause. Liam Bartlett has just returned from Pakistan where hundreds of these young men are training for suicide missions. We might have lopped the head off the beast, but Bin Laden’s terrorist network isn’t dead yet, not by a long shot.

Queens of the Kitchen
It’s a safe bet that quite a few Mums will un-wrap a cook book for Mother’s Day this Sunday, and there are thousands to choose from nowadays. But Charles Wooley reckons you can’t beat the classics, those wonderful books by Australia’s original master chefs – Margaret Fulton, Maggie Beer and Stephanie Alexander. These Queens of the kitchen were serving up gourmet meals when the current crop of celebrity chefs were still cutting their teeth on rusks and cooing over stewed apple. All these years later, as Charles discovered, their recipe for success hasn’t changed one little bit.
Reporter: Charles Wooley
Producer: Sandra Cleary
It airs 7:30pm Sunday on Nine.

I want to applaud Lara Logan for a wonderful, strong and fearless reporter. What a horrible story that was, and how amazing she is to get on television and tell it like it is. All those disgusting ‘men’ that closed in on her in that big crowd that she was reporting on, will be reckoned with one day and found seriously wanting. I bleed for you
I saw the Lara Logan story last night. It made me realise we should be grateful to the journos that risk their lives and health to inform us of what is happening in this troubled world.
