arabia tightened a stranglehold on the neighboring country of yemen, and seven million people face starvation. the saudi blockade is an escalation in yemen's civil war. the united nations says that the war has now become a "man-made catastrophe." you've seen very little of this because the saudis prevent reporters from reaching the war zone. recently, we were ordered off a ship headed to yemen. days later, the saudis gave us permission to fly there but, after our equipment was loaded and our boarding passes issued, the saudis closed the airspace so the plane couldn't take off. even so, we have managed to get pictures out of yemen, to show

does not want you to see. this will be hard to watch, but 27 million people in yemen pray you will not turn away. hungry children cry. but there are no tears at the limits of starvation. wasting bodies cannot afford them. this is the al sabeen hospital in the yemeni city of sana'a. ibtisam is two-and-a-half. she weighs 15 pounds. haifa is seven. she weighs 11 pounds. the images, and the stories from the hospital, were sent to us by people that we hired inside yemen. before this report ends, another child will die. one every ten minutes, according to the u.n. >> david beasley: it's just desperation and death. it is bad as it gets. i don't know if i've ever seen a

>> pelley: david beasley runs the world food programme, the u.n.'s emergency first responder to prevent famine. we were headed into yemen with the world food programme, the saudis gave us permission to come, and then when we arrived, they wouldn't let us into the country. what do you think they didn't want us to see? >> beasley: i don't understand why they won't allow the world to see what's taking place, because i think if the world sees the tragedy of this human suffering, number one, the world will step up and provide the support financially for innocent children to eat. but when you get on the ground and see what i see, you see is chaos, is starvation, is hunger, and it's unnecessary conflict, strictly manmade. all parties involved in this conflict have their hands guilty, the hands are dirty. all parties. >> pelley: in essence, the fight is between the two main branches ofam

the shia branch occupies much of the west, the sunnis most of the south and east. saudi arabia, leader of the sunni world, began air strikes against shia rebels more than two years ago. the rebels, who are known as houthis, are supported by saudi arabia's arch-enemy, iran, the leader of the shia world. houthi rebels have plenty of blood on their hands, including the deaths of 1,000 civilians. but the united nations says the saudi coalition has killed more than 3,000 civilians; bombing schools, hospitals and this, al kubra hall, scene of a funeral last year. 132 civilians were killed, nearly 700 wounded. still, the deadliest weapon in yemen is a blockade holding up food, fuel and medical aid.

>> beasley: we can't get our ships in. they get blocked. >> pelley: who blocks the ports? >> beasley: the saudi coalition. >> pelley: david beasley told us the saudis bombed the cranes that unload ships. the u.s. sent replacement cranes, but the saudis won't let them in. >> beasley: we ask any, any parties engaged in this conflict to respect humanitarian law, respect the rights of innocent people and give us the access that we need to provide the help that's needed. >> pelley: it sounds like the saudis are using starvation as a weapon. >> beasley: i don't think there's any question the saudi- led coalition, along with the houthis and all of those involved, are using food as a weapon of war. and it's disgraceful. >> pelley: the u.n. world food programme is the largest humanitarian aid agency. the u.s. is its biggest donor, so the director is most often an american. beasley was once governor of south carolina. ea

if we don't receive the monies that we need in the next few months, i would say 125,000 little girls and boys will die. we've been able to avert famine, but we know three things that are happening. we know that people are dying. we know that people are wasting. and we know that children are stunting. we have a stunting rate in yemen now at almost 50%. that means they're smaller, the brains are smaller, the body's smaller, because they're not getting the food nor the nutrition they need. >> stephen anderson: we're here in djibouti. >> pelley: world food programme's stephen anderson is trying to move millions of pounds of food to yemen from this african port. >> anderson: the world food programme is mobilizing food for seven million people. now what that looks like is 110-pound bag of wheat flour. we're aiming to provide two million of those every month to the people of yemen.

>> pelley: how long can you keep that up? >> anderson: well, we're desperately praying for peace, because that's the only sustainable way of really rebuilding the situation. our stated objective is to try to prevent a famine from occurring. >> pelley: while facing imminent famine, the people of yemen are also suffering one of the biggest cholera epidemics in history. nearly a million have been infected with the bacteria which inflicts diarrhea, dehydration and sometimes death. the disease thrives in dirty water, and water treatment and sanitation have collapsed in yemen's cities. what do you have to have to stop the epidemic? nevio zagaria heads the world health organization's emergency response. >> nevio zagaria: we should have peace. this is what we need to stop this epidemic. so, we cannot solve the problem of cholera if we do not have a

not a proper sanitation. if we not have the sewage treatment plant in the main town functioning, and not stop because run out of fuel, as it happened at the beginning of this epidemic in the north of sana'a for three or four months. >> pelley: the main sewage plant in sana'a ran out of fuel and didn't run for three or four months? >> zagaria: yes. so three million people, huh? >> pelley: about two million yemenis have been forced from their homes by the war, and there's been a big exodus of refugees that the world doesn't know very much about. many of them have come 25 miles across the red sea to this place. it's a refugee camp in the african nation of djibouti. it is a testament to how bad things are in yemen, that the refugees believe that this place is so much better. we've seen a few refugee camps in our time, but this may be the

life and a flood of sun. one worker told us we were smart to come in the fall, when it cooled off to 110. how long have you been here? >> ali shafick: unfortunately, 28 months. >> pelley: ali shafick was once an architect in the yemeni capital. his home was destroyed. he's alone here, and his despair was almost like madness. shafick: to be jobless in the, in the, in the, in the-- this camp is very sad. the time is going slowly, very slowly. >> pelley: the heat must be unbearable. >> shafick: heat? yes, boiling. starting from june, july and august. three months. you cannot live, you cannot live here, three months. it's impossible to live. >> pelley: and yet you do. >> shafick: i have to be patient.

>> pelley: this mother, ameena saleh told us her family left after saudi-led air strikes killed more than 70 people in her town. "the planes would fly above us and fire rockets, and missiles, like this," she told us. "at night, there was no sleep. we were holding the young ones." she said that her older son was saying, "we are going to die." she told us, "we saw people die right in front of us." a little while ago we heard a rumble from the direction of yemen. that's the bombing, isn't it? "yes," her husband said, "it's near." what do you think when you hear that? "strong fear," she said. "the terror is still inside us from the rockets, missiles and planes." what lies ahead for these people, given where we are today? ayman gharaibeh runs yemeni refugee relief for the u.n. >> ayman gharaibeh: remember, the conflict is going into a third year.

for literally three years or going into their third year. i honestly do not see any-- any silver lining anywhere on the horizon that this is going to end soon, and i'm afraid the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate. and we would go from a displacement to a famine, as happened, to cholera, and god knows what's next. >> pelley: the saudi intervention in yemen began with the rise of 32-year-old crown prince mohammed bin salman. he's the son of the king, and he's the defense minister. salman is quickly reforming the kingdom's fundamentalist society. recently, he lifted the ban on women drivers. this month, he arrested 200 saudis, including princes and media owners. he says it's a crackdown on corruption. his critics believe he's silencing his rivals.

now landed saudi arabia, for the first time, on the u.n.'s blacklist of nations that disregard the safety of children in war. the saudis have pledged $8 billion in humanitarian aid for yemen, but they've delivered very little of that. the head of the saudi humanitarian agency says that its aid to yemen is, "way beyond any damage caused by any attacks." you met with some government officials involved in all of this. what kind of dialogue did you have with them? >> beasley: well, we met with officials on all sides. they said all the right things. and we come back, everything that they agreed to, on visas and access, so that we can get the equipment we need in, so we can deliver the food where we need to deliver it, and the technology and the health product-- you know, terrible. the conditions are deteriorating at an unprecedented way, and

were made, by any and all sides, have been fulfilled. >> pelley: what future do you see for yemen? >> beasley: i don't see a light at the end of this tunnel. there's got to be a big change. as the world food programme, i've got my mandate to feed people. but also, as a u.n. leader, i call upon the leaders of the world to bring the pressure to bear, whatever's necessary, to get the saudi-led coalition, the houthis and all involved to the table and end this thing. you keep going like you're going, there's not going to be anybody left. all the children are going to be dead. it's terrible. >> 60 minutes was turned away from yemen. but our cameras got in. our team tells how at www.60minutesovertime.com. sponsored by pfizer.

legendary voyages of discovery, you probably think of columbus and magellan, or neil armstrong walking on the moon. but what may be the greatest

has ever undertaken is happening right now. it began in 1977 when nasa launched two spacecraft named "voyager 1" and "2." the mission was only supposed to last four years, but now, 40 years later, against all odds, the two little spacecraft are still out there, traveling beyond the most distant planets in our solar system, reporting back on what they find. they're the outer-space equivalents of the little engine that could. nothing manmade has ever traveled so long and so far, and wherever they go, they carry with them a message from earth for any other lifeforms that may find them. >> three, two, one, we have ignition and we have liftoff. >> cooper: when "voyager 1" and "2" took off in august and september of 1977, they had cameras and sensors and something no other spacecraft ever had: two golden records, filled with music.

system down here. >> cooper: --but was 36 when he first took the job at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory in california, where the "voyagers" were built. each part was carefully designed and tested. but with the launch date fast approaching, project manager john casani and his team learned that the conditions near jupiter might be much harsher than they expected. they needed extra protection for "voyagers'" cables-- they needed a quick fix. casani says they used aluminum foil. that doesn't sound exactly high- tech. >> john casani: we would have normally used metalized kapton, or mylar, or something, you know, more appropriate. but we didn't have time. >> cooper: you just went to a store and got aluminum foil? >> casani: well, i didn't know. i said, "ask my wife. where do you get aluminum foil?" >> cooper: and that's-- part of that is on "voyager." >> casani: yes, yeah. >> cooper: as seen in this nasa animation, the spacecraft, foil and all, reached jupiter in 1979 and took the sharpest pictures of the planet scientists had ever seen.

spot. >> cooper: wow. it was known that jupiter's great red spot was a massive storm larger than earth. what wasn't known until the "voyagers" arrived is that there are dozens of smaller, hurricane-like storms feeding into it. jupiter's moon, io, held surprises as well. it didn't have the cratered look of our moon, and a 25-year-old nasa engineer saw something on io no else had. >> stone: if you look off to the left of the picture, you'll see an erupting volcano hundreds of miles high. that's the kind of eruptions that-- >> cooper: the white and the blue light, that's-- >> stone: yes. >> cooper: an erupting volcano? >> stone: first active volcanoes other than here on earth. >> cooper: how big a deal was that discovery? >> stone: well, it was a major deal, because it really told us the solar system was much more dynamic than we had imagined. each moon had a geologic history. they weren't just old objects heavily cratered. they had a geologic life. >> cooper: next to io, the moon europa, similar in size, but that's about all. that looks likno

does. >> stone: yeah, exactly. suddenly, we realized that-- what i call-- our terra-centric view of the solar system was just much too constrained. i mean, nature was much more diverse than we could've imagined. >> cooper: saturn's famous rings also turned out to be more complex than imagined when the "voyagers" got close to them in 1980 and '81. the rings are mostly made of water ice. ed stone calls them "snowballs," but some of them are the size of mountains. the "voyagers" also discovered small moons inside saturn's rings. that "voyager" could send back images like these is especially remarkable when you consider its equipment, and the computers running it, are 40 years old. the technology is really nothing compared to what we have today. >> stone: your smartphone has 240,000 times more memory than the "voyager" spacecraft. and it has a computer which is 100,000 times faster than the voyager computers.

>> cooper: ed stone showed us this full-size model of "voyager." both spacecraft run on plutonium, a long-lasting nuclear source of heat, which is converted into electricity. they carry ten scientific instruments, two of which are cameras. the "voyagers" transmit a constant stream of data, which gets picked up by giant antennas nasa operates in different parts of the world. to see one of them, we drove deep into the mojave desert, near barstow, california, to an antenna site known as the goldstone complex. there are a lot of scorpions and rattlesnakes out here, but little to interfere with the faint messages still being sent by the "voyagers." "voyager 1" is now 13 billion miles away from earth. its radio signals, which travel at the speed of light, take 19 hours to reach these enormous antennas at nasa's goldstone complex. it's remarkable, especially when you consider that the transmitter on "voyager" which

"voyager 2" became the first spacecraft ever to visit uranus in 1986, and neptune, the most distant planet in our solar system, in 1989. this is all astronomers could see of neptune from telescopes at the time. and this is how "voyager 2" saw it, blue and turbulent, with winds gusting up to 1,000 miles per hour. ♪ ♪ to celebrate reaching neptune, the jet propulsion lab had a party. carl sagan and ann druyan invited a surprise guest.

"voyager 2" is expected to get there in a few years. >> cooper: so the sun is our nearest star? >> stone: yes, correct. >> cooper: and then from the sun what is the next nearest star? >> stone: alpha centauri, which is about four light-years away. >> cooper: so voyager is now in between the sun and that next star? >> stone: yes, that's right. >> cooper: traveling how fast? >> stone: it's traveling about 38,000 miles per hour. it travels about a billion miles every three years. >> cooper: that's incredible. in about ten years, when the

>> wertheim: last november 28, a professional soccer team from chapeco, brazil, boarded a flight for the biggest match in the club's history. with a little luck and a lot of pluck, this team of no-names and underdogs had made an unlikely climb to the pinnacle of soccer- mad south america. then, just a few miles from landing in medellin, colombia, their chartered plane crashed into a mountainside after running out of fuel. 71 of the 77 onboard were killed, including 19 of the team's 22 players. the crash itself, the plane violently split in half-- that was just the physical wreckage. after the most horrific sports tragedy in years, the concept of a rebuilding season has taken on a whole new dimension. in sports, we often talk of game plans, but there are no proven tactics for coming back from catastrophe like this. a recent sunday in chapeco, brazil. it's the day of the lord. it's also the day the lord shares with the true natio

religion, soccer. carved out of the forest in the country's hardworking southern region, closer to argentina than to the beaches of rio, chapeco is a city of immigrants. most came from europe in the last 100 years. ( drums ) they all worship one team: chapecoense-- ( cheers and applause ) --chape for short, represents the smallest city competing in brazil's top soccer league. it wasn't that long ago that, both geographically and in the sports universe, chapeco resided in the middle of nowhere. >> matheus saroli: i never heard of them until 2013. >> wertheim: you-- yeah, you'd never heard of this team until four years ago. >> saroli: never heard of them. because they were a very small club from a small town. >> wertheim: matheus saroli comes from a proud brazilian family of soccer players and coaches.

his father, caio jr., became the head coach of chapecoense in 2016. by then, the team had already made history, ascending from deep in the minor leagues to the big time in a span of just five years. how were they having this run? what-- what made them so good? >> saroli: they had a special group of, of people, man. it came from the top down. and that year specifically, last year, they had a great squad. not a lot of very famous people. but, the team played as a team. >> wertheim: with great pride, chape fans will tell you their club has no peles. instead, the team took on the characteristics of the community. in unpretentious, unfussy chapeco, the club was a study in populism and discipline. short on flair, long on odds, never outworked, they were that team opponents hated to face. last season, the little club punching above its weight delivered a knockout blow, when goalkeeper danilo made this it

it secured chapecoense's spot in the championship of the copa sudamericana, one of the continent's most prestigious competitions. ( cheers and applause ) after the game, the players, the staff and their families celebrated in the locker room. as one, they belted out in portuguese a simple song, "vamos chape," "let's go chape." and five days later they went, on a flight operated by a cut- rate charter company called lamia. how big a moment was this? a local news crew captured the players before takeoff, gleeful, happy about where they were going and how they got there. you-- you've talked a lot about the culture of the club, and the administration. the people who put this culture in place, where-- where are they? >> saroli: they were all on the ple.

>> wertheim: then their chartered plane crashed into a mountainside. 71 dead, including matheus' father, the head coach. but miraculously, inexplicably, three players-- jakson follmann, helio neto, and alan ruschel-- lived to tell the tale. which they each do with remarkable candor, down to the most chilling detail. when did you first sense something was-- was very wrong? >> helio neto ( translated ): i felt it when the plane shut down. when the emergency lights came on, i said, "jesus have mercy." i heard the noise of the wind. i remember the alarm going off, beep-beep-beep-beep, and a voice came on in english to signal an emergency. >> wertheim: what did you hear when you thought, "this plane might be going down?" >> jakson follmann ( translated ): only the wind. there was no sound at all. only the wind. >> neto ( translated ): i remember many people on the plane were praying, many people saying, "jesus, help.

my god, jesus have mercy." i was praying loudly. >> wertheim: found in the wreckage hours later, neto would lie in a coma for nine days. ruschel sustained a spinal cord injury. follmann lost his right leg below the knee. the tragedy grew even more devastating when investigators discovered the cause. the reason these guys heard nothing but the wind on the way down? the engines had stopped operating. the plane had run out of fuel. >> follmann ( translated ): sometimes i ask myself, why did all of this happen to us? why were so many lives lost? so many fathers were lost, most had three- or four-year-old children, innocent children who don't understand. this hurts a lot. >> wertheim: no one fully understands how the accident could have occurred. we do know the pilot took off without enough fuel, and he has received the bulk of the blame from various investigations. brazilian prosecutors determined the clas

hiring lamia, an airline with only a few planes fit to fly, and that had an insurance policy families were told was invalid. >> barbara monteiro ( translated ): i often say that the plane did not only crash in medellin, but it crashed on my life. >> wertheim: barbara monteiro was married to the forward, ananias. we spoke to her and the wives of three other players who died. five days after the crash, she was on chapecoense's home field, not for a match, but for a funeral. >> monteiro ( translated ): it was the most shocking moment of my life. it was devastating. ( cheers and applause ) >> wertheim: leticia gabriel's husband was star goalkeeper danilo. >> leticia gabriel ( translated ): i remember seeing those trucks and that very strong rain. it seemed like god was looking at the tragedy and crying. ♪ ♪

as the coffins arrived at the stadium, it started to rain even harder. it was like a movie, where the soldiers went to war and returned in those coffins. i hope to never see something like that again in my life. it was an unexplainable feeling. >> wertheim: the widows each received a life insurance payout worth about three years salary from the club and the brazilian soccer federation, but they've also filed lawsuits against chapecoense, and more cases are possible against the airline lamia and their insurers. >> gabriel ( translated ): we had so many plans, to have more children, to build a house, so many dreams. and all this ended overnight. i went back to the city where my parents lived, with my son and without danilo. >> monteiro ( translated ): imagine a life of pain, without

without the provider of the house. without father and husband. empty. >> wertheim: not long after the crash, the club made a firm, if controversial decision. for the good of the community, as well as for financial reasons, chapocoense had to continue competing. new players and coaches were hired. the spirit of vamos chape would be embodied, effective immediately. >> maninho ( translated ): chape is a fighting team and always has been. >> wertheim: known to all as maninho, chapecoense's new president has been heavily involved in the team since it was founded in the 1970s. he had the good fortune not to board the flight for colombia. did you have any instinct to, "let's take a year off and-- and just regroup and-- and take a break?" wa

>> maninho ( translated ): no, we never considered that, never. we had to rebuild, to restart. if we hadn't, i'm certain that the city would have been despondent. >> wertheim: for the widows, it's been difficult to watch. the husband of girlene domingues was the team's all-time leading scorer. she told us about the day all the wives were invited back to the stadium. their late husbands were honored, and then their replacements took to the field. >> girlene domingues ( translated ): i remember the day of that game, i saw my husband's shirt, number nine, that he played with. and when i saw it was not my husband, it gave me such a strong pain in my chest. >> wertheim: the widows say the team has not done enough to help them. the club president, maninho, says chapecoense has done everything they can. he's managing an old soccer dilemma: how much to push forward, how much to protect what lies behind.

cannot always satisfy everyone. there are some things in life that only the passing of time will allow people to understand. >> wertheim: time unspools, life persists, for the town, the team and its players. while we were in chapeco, jakson follmann got married. his two best men were neto, now rehabbing and working on a comeback, and alan ruschel, the only one of the three survivors who's stepped back out onto the field for the team. ( cheers and applause ) his first game back in august was an exhibition in spain held to raise funds for the families of chape. that day, he faced arguably the greatest player in the history of the sport. ( cheers and applause ) the brazilian visitors lost to lionel messi and barcelona 5-0. the match revealed a bittersweet irony to the chapecoense story: following the crash, the team has received worldwide opportunities and attention perhaps only death could provide.

you're only one man, you're one athlete, but i suspect you feel like you're playing for a lot more than yourself. >> alan ruschel ( translated ): yes, definitely. whenever i go on the field, i always think a lot about all the guys. >> wertheim: when you guys look back at everything this club's been through over the last year, what-- what do you want the legacy to be? what do you want people to know? >> neto ( translated ): you walk into chapecoense today, and what do you see of those who died? nothing. there is nothing to remember them. it seems like no one died. people are enjoying our wonderful club, but we must give credit to the men who fought and gave their lives so that chapecoense could be where it is today. >> wertheim: the president of the club told us there are plans for a museum that memorializes those who died. grief, as they say, is custom- made, a private journey, but after more than a week in chapeco, this was apparent.

in the face of tragedy, the invisible force that binds a team to their community can strengthen-- even with a completely new lineup of players. those players have struggled this year. when sunday came, chapecoense needed a win to help them stay up in brazil's highest league. ( cheers and applause ) chape's fighting spirit was on display, as they beat a more established club from rio, two to nothing. ( cheers and applause ) the loudest sound of the night came not with the goals or the final whistle, but at the 71st minute of the match. it was then, as at every home game this year, that the crowd paused to remember the 71 members of their community who died last year. serenading both the new players and the ones no longer here, they sang an old anthem that takes on so much symbolic weight: vamos chape.
