this is "the cbs overnight news." welcome to overnight news. i'm don dahler. president trump is taking action on another campaign promise. this one aimed at erasing former president obama's legacy on climate change. president trump signed an executive order reversing obama-era regulations on coal and oil industries. as a candidate, mr. trump called climate change a hoax. the white house says the president believes it's real. but the new policy is about jobs and boosting energy production. here's major garriett. >> reporter: time taking steps to lift the restriction on government energy and to cancel

job-killing regulations. >> reporter: president trump made historic of the obama regulations to curb greenhouse gas gases. mr. trump took the first step of erasing rules from coal-fired power plants and easing restrictions on new coal mines. >> my administration is putting an end to the war on coal. >> reporter: industry workers joined mr. trump for the event. >> that means you're going back to work. >> reporter: coal mining accounts for roughly 50,000 jobs in america. down from its peak in 180,000 in 1985. automation and the ability of hydraulic gas has made coal production less competitive. >> we're here to announce the single-most important step america has ever taken in the fight against global climate change. >> reporter: when president obama created the clean power plan, mr. trump is now

reversing, mr. obama cited the need to challenge rising global challengers. >> no challenge poses a better threat to our future and future generations. >> reporter: president trump called the climate change a hoax. and scott pruitt denied a direct link between carbon monoxide and global warming. >> it is not a contributor to the global warming we see. >> reporter: a cloud of suspicion over the russian interference in the 2016 election. the white house committee chairman cannot longer be trusted to look into ties of the trump team. >> reporter: house speaker ryan says he has full confidence that congressman nunes can conduct a fair and credible investigation. but pressure is building on the congressman to explain his actions and reveal his source. >> there was no sneaking around. i walked on to the grounds, said hi to people.

did not go to the west wing. did not talk to the president. >> reporter: the chairman of the house intelligence committee, devin nunes, said it was not a secret he visited the white house tuesday to review class y classified documents. >> i needed a place to review the information. >> reporter: the congressman wouldn't reveal his source. but says there is evidence that agencies under the obama administration had intercepted communications involving members of the transition team. but he dismissed allegations that president obama wiretapped trump tower. nearly a week after nunes briefed the president, adam schiff says the congressman has yet to share the intelligence with other members of the house committee he leads. >> it's not just an unwillingness to share with democrats. none of the committee members have seen what the chairman is referring to. >> reporter: schiff thinks the chairman should recuse himself from the investigation.

>> certainly, this is a decision that i don't reach lightly. and i'm very unhappy, rafrankly to have gotten to this point. >> reporter: democrats are accusing nunes to shield the president, whether his campaign team coordinated with russian operatives. >> chairman nunes is falling down on the job, and seems to be more interested in protecting the president than in seeking the truth. >> reporter: in another surprise move, late last week, congressman nunes announced he was bringing back fbi director comey and nsa director rogers to testify in a closed hearing. that was supposed to happen today. but that hearing has been canceled. a mother in texas is outraged over how the tsa handled the security screening of her young son. she says agents went way too far at dallas-ft. worth international airport. she posted a video of the pat-down on facebook. omar has that.

>> reporter: the tsa says that was part of the standard pat-down that went into effect earlier this month. that touched a nerve with a mother who went through security through dfw here on sunday, with her son. >> we were treated with utter disrespect, as if we were criminals. >> reporter: jennifer williamson turned her anger into action, sunday, recording a tsa officer patting down her 13-year-old son at dallas international airport and posted it on face book. >> they went over his sensitive areas a little more than necessary, given he wasn't wearing bulky clothing or anything like that. >> reporter: williamson said the whole thing started when agents found a laptop in his book bag as it went through the scanning machine. they said her son would have to submit to a pat-down, even though he did not set off the body scanner. they suggested they screen him

in other ways because he suffers from sensory processing disorder. the agent explains the procedure, and pats down his backside, front and legs. the supervisor then instructs the man to complete the final step. as per policy, the tsa uses the back of his hands for pat-downs over sensitive areas of his body. the tsa says the boy cooperated during the screening process. and all approved procedures were followed. as for a wait time, in a statement, the agency says the passengers were at the checkpoint for approximately 45 minutes, which included the time it took to discuss screening procedures with the mother, and to screen three carry-on items that prior required further inspection. >> he said i don't know why they did this. i don't know what i did wrong. and to me, that was a sign of trauma for him to think he had done anything wrong. >> reporter: the new procedures were put in place after a 2015

audit found there were serious security lapses. williamson has filed a complaint with the tsa but has not heard back. "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

president trump's proposed budget calls for deep cuts in the education department. supporters applaud the $9 billion rollback. but what does it mean for students who rely on federal funds? michelle miller visited a successful after-school program in new jersey that could be eliminated. >> reporter: proposed budget cuts would determine nate a nationwide after-school program known as 21st century community learni learnings. there's 2,500 of these centers across the country. and they can be found in every state. we went to new jersey, where administrators said it's not only working, but there's a waiting list to enroll. as the school day ends in plainfield, new jersey, most students head home.

but about 350 of them take to cafeterias, gyms and classrooms for a federally-funded after-school program known as 21st century community learning centers. >> we align what we do to the school day to support schoolteachers. but with after-school and summer learning opportunities, we can really hone in on our instructional craft and be more innovative. >> reporter: zelda spence is the director of the program in plainfield. >> almost 100% of our after-school students graduate high school or obtain a vocation and go on to college and graduate. >> reporter: and they wouldn't have if they didn't have this program? >> it would be highly difficult. our children here struggle. many of our families are economically compromised. and we're able to provide opportunities that their parents just don't have the money to be able to do. >> reporter: if you lose this funding, what would that mean to this district?

>> it would be devastating for us. >> reporter: brothers jose and joelle spend afternoons here when the parents are at work. >> reporter: her mom met us on the lunch hour to boast about their accomplishments. >> i see a lot of change in my kids. >> i got all-as. i said, i got all-as and i spent you a picture. >> reporter: did she believe you? >> i sent her a picture of the grades. and it was all-as. >> reporter: for all of the success here in plainfield, national centers has been less encouraging. evaluation of the program in 2013, just one-third of students participating saw improvement in math and english grades. that falls short of the target to improve grades for nearly

half of the students who participate. >> it's a program that's failed to meet its stated mission. >> reporter: lindsay burke is the director of education policy for the heritage foundation. a conservative thinktank based in washington, d.c. >> on the evidence of the program or the lack of evidence, about its effectiveness, we have to ask whether this is appropriately housed at the federal level. and is it really appropriate for the federal government to be funding after-school programs? and i think that the answer to that question is no. >> reporter: 21st century community learning centers were created in 1994, under president bill clinton. then, expanded in 2001 under president george w. bush. it serves more than 2 million people on an annual budget of $1.2 billion. $550,000 of that goes to the plainfield new jersey district. federal funding that props to zero in president trump's

current budget proposal. is there any way the district could fund this program without the federal dollars? >> it would be challenging. of course, we can look to, wright and obtain grant funding opportunities. but that is not a guarantee. and sacrificing the healthy and very important learning experiences for children, it just doesn't seem worth it to me. the new wall street statue of a girl staring down the iconic charging bull will stand its ground for a year. the statue has become a major tourist attraction. but the artist behind the bull is seeing red. saying it changes his work. >> reporter: for decades, this 7,000-pound bull has dominated lower manhattan by itself. but since march 8th, it had to

share this space with a little girl, who has a lot of friends who hopes she stays right here, staring down the bull forever. the fearless girl began as a temporary installation, an ad campaign for a company hoping to highlight the lack of women on corporate boards. but after weeks of adoring crowds, she has a permit to stay put through february 2018. >> she spoke to the moment. that sense, that women were not going to live in fear. >> reporter: the artist built the statue. >> the bottom line is, she says women are strong. women are here. >> reporter: but the fearless girl's symbolic staredown with wall street's charging bull, is a standoff. >> they are transforming the message of the bull. >> reporter: arthur is a spokesperson for the italian sculptor who made the bull as a symbol of hope. >> now, this girl is confronting, a monstrous figure. that's an outrage. to take a great work of art and

transform it. >> reporter: back in 1989, the bull was considered the outrage, dropped illegally on a public street downtown. piccolo led the campaign to get the bull its home now. >> it was in front of the new york stock exchange. the new york stock exchange, represents most of the companies that have a problem with equality. >> she has clearly struck a nerve. she has become an overnight sensation. >> reporter: new york congressman carolyn maloney and thousands are pushing to make the fearless girl's message last trevo forever, possibly in this very location. what would you say to the people that said the bull was fine on its own and the girl changes the meaning. >> the world changes. and women are here. we're an intergral part of the business xhaucommunity and we'r even more important tomorrow. >> reporter: the financial firm that commissioned the girl, state street global advisers,

declined to comment on the controversy or their hopes for the future of the girl. the represents of the bull are reviewing their legal options.

a major, new attraction is coming to las vegas. the nfl approved a request by the raiders to leave oakland and start playing in sin city. >> reporter: the image of this city has changed over the decades. and apparently, that's part of the reason why the nfl approved the move. the city's formerly seedy reputation has shifted. and now, the city is known as a big-league entertainment capital, hopefully ready for a big-league football team. it's been a long time coming for these las vegas sports fans. the city is finally home to an nfl franchise. >> raid deers the. >> va caegas is the best thing the raiders. >> reporter: nfl commissioner

roger goodell agrees. a big factor is money. to lure the team away from oakland, vegas offered $750 million. bank of america has put up a $650 million loan. but the biggest incentive, a new 65,000-seat domed stadium. raiders owner, mark davis, said the decision wasn't easy. >> i love the fans in oakland. there's going to be disappointment and some anger. >> this is a royal slap in the face. >> reporter: these oakland raider fans will have the loyalties tested over the next two years. the team will be playing in northern california, while the new las vegas stadium is being built. >> there are fans who oakland who will relish the opportunity to continue to support the team in its last years in oakland. there will be fans who say no thank you. >> reporter: but the phrase no thank you is familiar to vegas sports fans. both the utah jazz and oakland athletics had reportedly

considered moving to vegas but decided no. many were apparently concerned about putting athletes in a city where gamblers could try to influence the game. >> i think the perception of that was, perhaps, there was something untoward or unseemly about it. >> i think theed a version to vegas was ant vegas antiquated. that's the news for this wednesday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm don dahler.
