60 Minutes

Mismatch of the Day
According to Rebecca Loos, soccer superstar David Beckham was not only a player on the field, off it he was one as well. Back in 2004, when she was his 26-year-old personal assistant, she publicly admitted they had a torrid affair. At the time, and unusually for such an attacking footballer, Beckham was defensive. He pleaded it was ludicrous to suggest he was unfaithful to his Spice Girl wife, Victoria. The denial infuriated Loos because she felt it implied she had lied. Eventually her anger gave way to resignation, but two years ago a rather vainglorious David Beckham obliquely referenced the liaison in a Netflix documentary. As Rebecca tells Dimity Clancey, his comments were an own goal that has given her a free kick to strike back.

Tragedy in Tamworth
The pain is unbearable and the frustration immense. Baylen Pendergast's father, Luke, can't fathom how 11 years on from his toddler son's mysterious death, no one has been held responsible. There have been no arrests and no charges laid. That's despite overwhelming medical evidence suggesting the 21-month-old boy suffered horrific, non-accidental injuries. It's a tragedy that has stunned the country New South Wales community of Tamworth where Baylen lived. On 60 Minutes, Adam Hegarty investigates why, after more than a decade, there are still no answers for his dad.

Oops
It's easy to understand why actress Madeleine West is so committed to protecting children, and not just because she's a mother of six. As 60 Minutes reported last year, when she was a young girl Madeleine was the victim of a serial paedophile. For 40 years she kept the abuse secret, but then, in the performance of her life, she helped police collect the evidence they needed to charge the perpetrator. Peter Vincent White was subsequently imprisoned for 15 years for crimes against seven children. Now there is a new chapter for Madeleine West. She has a remarkable and wonderful surprise she wants to share – one that started with oops.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Australians know John Singleton as a no-nonsense, super-successful business titan, always confident and in control. But on 60 MINUTES this week, a very different John Singleton. Not the businessman but a broken father consumed with despair over the death of his beautiful daughter Dawn. A year ago, almost to the day, Dawn and five others were stabbed to death at the Westfield Bondi shopping centre. The perpetrator was 40-year-old Joel Cauchi, a mentally ill man who, somehow, had fallen through the cracks of the health system. Now a coronial inquest is set to examine what happened and why. But in an exclusive television interview with Nine's Tracy Grimshaw, John says enough is enough.  He doesn't believe the inquest will achieve anything, and the prospect of reliving the day he lost his daughter fills him with horror.

THE FIRST BUDDY
By announcing aggressive tariffs on goods coming into America, President Donald Trump has lost a lot of friends around the world. Not that he probably cares. And anyway, he has the world's richest man, his so-called "first buddy", for company if he gets lonely. As chief of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk has proven to be a very loyal functionary, and one who's more than happy to do his boss's dirty work. In a few short months in the role, Musk has overseen the decimation of the American bureaucracy, as well as the sacking of tens of thousands of federal workers, all in the name of eliminating waste and fraud. But as Amelia Adams reports, Musk too is paying a hefty price for his vigour.

PRIVATE SHAME
Australia has one of the best health care systems in the world. If anyone gets sick or injured and needs emergency care, they expect to be in safe hands at most hospitals. But that certainly has not been the situation for some patients who ended up at facilities run by Healthscope. It's a private company that operates 38 hospitals and emergency departments around the country, but has a growing list of shameful failings that have led to needless patient deaths. One recent case was the tragedy of two-year-old Joe Massa who died after waiting hours for care at the emergency department of Northern Beaches Hospital in Sydney. On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine's Christine Ahern reveals another equally terrible case of a patient receiving inexcusable medical treatment. And like Joe Massa, Melbourne teenager James Tsindos would probably be alive today if he hadn't put his trust in Healthscope.

WHEN STARS COLLIDE
Workplace feuds are not uncommon but they rarely receive worldwide attention. However, when the clashing parties are two high-profile Hollywood celebrities, headlines are guaranteed. The dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni centres on what did, or didn't, happen on the set of the feature film It Ends With Us, and it has well and truly turned the supposed on-screen lovers into off-screen haters. In fact, as Adam Hegarty reports, the claims and counter claims being thrown around are now so serious the lawyers have been called in, and multiple court cases are being prepared.
