increase in troops in afghanistan would contradict his america first promise to avoid prolonged, overseas military operations. elaine? tony, thanks. this weekend, the u.s. embassy in the philippines confirmed u.s. special forces are providing technical support and surveillance for local troops battling isis-linked militants. dozens of civilians and troops, including 13 philippine marines have been killed in the three-week battle to drive islamic militants from the city. today the u.s. military unleashed a drone strike on al shabab militants in somalia. it destroyed a command center used by the al qaeda-led group. as many as ten militants were killed. u.s.-backed forces in syria and iraq continue to gain ground against isis in raqqah and mosul. jonathan vigliotti has the

>> reporter: raqqah has long been considered the islamic state capital in syria. and now at least part of it's been ripped from the terror group's hands. although the area in question is small, this is a symbolic defeat, a milestone that comes after two days of intense fighting by u.s.-backed forces. the team of kurdish-led fighters recaptured the northwestern neighborhood this morning. 12 isis were killed including a commander. the observatory for human rights who has been monitoring the war says u.s. backed forces now control two neighborhoods in the city and have just entered a third. the battle is however likely to be long and difficult, as the extremist group fiercely defends its self-declared capital. fighting also ramped up this weekend in mosul, isis's last remaining stronghold in iraq. u.s.-backed forces began their counter offense eight months ago and nearly all has been captured except for an enclave near the western bank, but it hasn't stopped the isis forces from anring back.

caught in the crossfire. nearly 500,000 are displaced. they have begun an operation between mosul and baghdad and they continue to say victory is imminent, however militants control swaths of territory near the border with syria. president trump is back at the white house after spending another weekend at his golf course in new jersey. this week is expected to be another political rollercoaster in washington with the congress at testimony of attorney general jeff sessions. the topic of course, russia's efforts to influence the presidential election. john dickerson of "face the nation" spoke to two members of the senate judiciary community, lindsey graham and chuck schumer. >> he doesn't believe he did anything wrong with the russians, and i tend to believe him. he can't collude with his own government, why do you think he's colluding with the russians.

so there's a part of this that genuinely frustrates the president. mr. president, don't make a circus out of your presidency. if you want to come to the judiciary committee and testify under oath, we'll put comey right by you. it will be the highest-rated tv show in the world but it's not good for the democracy. >> isn't the challenge not the collusion question. but the interference question? and wouldn't that be the tough questions for him? >> sheerhere's what i think. i think the president believes if we pursue how russia interfered with the election we're suggesting he did not win fairly. i see no evidence of the president's campaign colluding with the russian. i see all kinds of evidence of the russians trying to destroy our democracy. there will be a bill coming this week to punish russia for interfering into our elections. they hacked into the dnc, podesta's e-mails, it was russians. they colluded with assad so he could keep his chemical weapons, and i think they were complicit in the attack by assad on children in syria.

we're going to punish the russians. any member of the congress who doesn't want to punish russia for what they've done are betraying democracy. and if the president doesn't sign it he will be betraying democracy. >> what do you think he'll do? >> i think he'll sign it. and if he doesn't we'll override the veto. >> what do you want to hear from jeff sessions? >> first, i think he should be sworn under oath. second, i think it should be public. there's very little that's classified. anything that's classified they can do in a separate classified briefing. there are some questions about sessions that have to be asked. first, did he interfere with the russian investigation before he recused himself? second, what safeguards are there now so that he doesn't interfere? third, he says he was involved in the firing of comey, and the president said comey was fired because of russia. how does that fit in with his recusal? it doesn't seem to stand up well to me, and fourth, he's been involved in the selection of the new fbi director. did he talk about the russian investigation with them?

alosl the e arrtimpoant questions. i hope they'll be asked. i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance with geico. huh. i should take a closer look at geico... geico can help with way more than car insurance. boats, homes, motorcycles... even umbrella coverage. this guy's gonna wish he brought his umbrella. fire at will! how'd you know the guy's name is will? yeah? it's an expression, ya know? fire at will? you never heard of that? oh, there goes will! bye, will! that's not his name! take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more. and they happen easily. the other side of this... is they can be removed... easily. spray and wash's... powerful formula... removes over 100 stains. spray and wash. better on over 100 stains.

epa administrator scott pruitt is praising president trump for creating 50,000 new jobs in the coal industry since he took office. the trouble is, pruitt's got his numbers wrong. there are only 50,000 coal industry jobs in the entire country. and since the president took office, the increase is about 1,000. some of those jobs are at a brand-new mine outside pittsburgh. don dahler is there. >> reporter: we are 120 feet below ground. and this is the entrance to one of the mines. they've just started digging these, and this is a brand-new mine. this is one of the big mining machines that's digging in to those coal seams with these big teeth. the material pulled out of these mines is called metallurgical coal as opposed to the coal used in electricity, this is coal used in the production of steel.

but for the people in this area, this rock represents hope. did it feel for a while that this was a dying industry? >> yes. yes, it did. >> reporter: a bleak thought for a place where coal runs in the blood. >> my grandfathers were coal miner, my father was a coal miner for a while. >> reporter: rob listened carefully to candidate trump's promises on the campaign trail. what did it mean to you to hear the commitment he made to the coal industry? >> i think it's great, because, you know, gave people a little more optimism, and people have a little more hope in the industry. >> reporter: that's the coal seam right there? >> reporter: the mine was in the works before the election. but last week, the president highlighted it as a rare bright spot. >> a big opening of a brand new mine. it's unheard of. for many, many years that hasn't happened. >> reporter: the coal industry has lost more than a third of its workforce over the last decade, with 6

number of active mines in the past 20 years. >> it's hard for me to see that coal's going to recover its huge market share. >> reporter: jay aft is head of the electricity industry center. he says steel-producing coal represents a teeny fraction of the overall industry and won't move the needle on the bigger problem. >> natural gas has eaten coal's market share. gone down from 50% to 30%. those coal mines are unlikely to come back anytime soon. >> reporter: when did things get rough around here? >> i'd say in the '90s. it started in the '90s, maybe, where the mines were shutting down, and that's where the people worked here. >> reporter: since then, betty rhodes hasn't had as many hungry mouths to feed at the coal miner's cafe. the new mine is only hiring 70 to 100 new miners but she's bracing for business to pick up. >> reporter: what does it mean to this community? >> everybody hoping it's income

>> reporter: down in the mine, they're just happy to finally be moving forward. >> do you think this is the beginning of something? >> i hope so, yeah. i think it will be. >> reporter: it may be only 70 jobs, but those 70 jobs mean the world to those 70 families. there are only about 50,000 coal miners left in the country, which is why it was a surprise when scott pruitt announced that 50,000 jobs had been added to the economy. there have been jobs add, but only about 1,000. the "the cbs overnight news" will be right back.
