Facebook and its parent company, rebranded as "Meta," are still dealing with what's been called the worst public relations crisis the company has ever experienced. Leaked documents, internal research, and ex-employees testifying to Congress with concerns have led to accusations that Facebook puts profits over people. Today we're hearing from a different former employee who spent a decade with the company. Katie Harbath was the public policy director. She says the leaked documents, now known as the "Facebook Papers," are only part of the full story. She's giving us an inside look at the company's culture and later, weighs in on the shift to the metaverse.

It was an old-timey Western with a modern, real-life tragic ending. A crew member was shot and killed while filming the movie "Rust" in New Mexico. As we've covered here on The Newsworthy, actor Alec Baldwin fired the antique revolver that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Authorities say an assistant director told Baldwin the gun was "cold," meaning it didn't have any live rounds in it, before he pulled the trigger. But that wasn't the case. Investigators now say they think the gun did in fact contain live ammunition. But they're still investigating and deciding who, if anyone, should face criminal charges. To get a better idea of what may have gone wrong, and what should have happened, I'm talking with the president of the American Society of Cinematographers, Stephen Lighthill. He's also sharing his memories of Halyna Hutchins since she used to be his student at the American Film Institute. Halyna Hutchins Memorial Scholarship Fund: Donate here.

Climate change has become one of the most divisive political issues facing America. It didn't use to be this way. Gallup surveys show in the late 90s, about half of both Republicans and Democrats believed we were already seeing the effects of global warming and many in both parties also blamed human activity. But opinions have become more and more divided over the last two decades. What happened? We're talking about it with renowned climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. She says it was her faith as an evangelical Christian that first inspired her to focus on climate change as a career and later to write the new book "Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World." She doesn't shy away from saying climate change is real. But she also focuses on finding common ground and calls on all political parties to pitch in with possible solutions.

What happens in these communities in the weeks after the winds die down, the floodwaters recede and the national media leaves? Volunteers are often doing the work to help their neighbors pick up the pieces and rebuild. One of those organizations is the Cajun Navy. The group got its start after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when boat owners stepped up to help rescue people. Since then, Cajun Navy volunteers have become a regular presence whenever a natural disaster strikes. One of those volunteers is Rob Gaudet. He's from the Cajun Navy Ground Force in Louisiana and is the founder and director of the Cajun Navy Foundation. Rob has been on the road for weeks helping in the wake of Hurricane Ida. Today, he's sharing what he's seeing now after that storm and the types of volunteer missions that have stuck with him for years.
