December 31, 2022 - PBS News Weekend full episode

Season 2022 Episode 368 | 26m 45s

Saturday on PBS News Weekend, we look at the lives of two significant figures who died in the final days of the year: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, whose controversial reign ended with his resignation, and trailblazing journalist Barbara Walters, whose interviews and legacy made her a cultural icon. Plus, we look back at the highs and lows of the rollercoaster that was 2022.

Aired: 12/30/22 | Expires: 01/30/23
