Point i cant tell which it is. Representative adam schiff, thank you so much for your time. Thanks, scott. Today, 13 months and one president ial election after the death of Supreme Court justice antonin scalia, the senate opened confirmtion hearings for his successor. Jan crawford is following that. We sometimes hear judges cynically described as politicians in robes, seeking to enforce their own politics rather than striving to apply the law impartially. If i thought that were true, i would hang up the robe. Reporter pledging to respect the rule of law, judge neil gorsuch told the senators judges must remain above politics. I dont think thats what life in the law is about. Reporter in a deeply personal statement, the colorado native talked about his western roots and family and thanked his wife louise. I love you so much. Reporter but throughout the first day, another respective federal Appeals Court judge also was in focus. Chief judge merrick garland. Judge garland. Chief judge merrick garland. Reporter Democratic Senators like Patrick Leahy are still seething that republicans blocked president obamas nomination a year ago this week of judge merrick garland. It was totally unprecedented in our countrys whole history. Reporter they also took aim at President Trump and questioned gorsuchs commitment to judicial independence. Connecticuts richard blumenthal. The possibility of the Supreme Court needing to enforce a subpoena against the president is no longer idle speculation. Reporter but republican senators said the hearing was not about judge garland or the president. North Carolinas Tom tillis. I hope that this nomination hearing focuses on the one person here before us who i hope will go on to fill the Supreme Court. Reporter democrats are promising a thorough review of judge gorsuchs record with a focus on workers rights, Civil Liberties and womens rights. He will be in this hot seat about ten hours tomorrow, scott, and again on wednesday. Jan crawford, thanks. In breaking news this evening, a new terrorist threat has been discovered, and tonight the u. S. Is announcing that Electronic Devices will be banned for passengers flying on Foreign Airlines from eight countries in the middle east and north africa. Chip reid is following this for us. Chip, what do you know . Reporter well, scott, u. S. Officials tell us that Electronic Devices that are larger than a cell phone will be banned temporarily from flights coming to the u. S. From eight middle eastern and north african countries on airlines based in those countries. That means devices like laptops and ipads cannot be carried in the cabin. They will have to be checked. The airlines have 96 hours or four days to comply. It is unclear how long the ban will last. Again, as far as we know, this will not apply to u. S. Based airlines. U. S. Officials tell us this step is based on intelligence gathered overseas. They say theyve been told that this information is not about a specific timecertain plot, and, scott, a similar incident took place in 2014 when airlines banned Electronic Devices on some flights coming from europe to the United States. More details about this on cbs this morning tomorrow. Chip reid, thanks very much. Still ahead, a minnesota man is accused of bordering a nazi massacre. And remembering chuck berry.

For decades a ukrainian immigrant has lived a quiet life in minneapolis, raising a family and attending church, but a court in poland says the retired carpenter is actually a nazi war criminal. Jamie yuccas reports. My father was, is, and remains an innocent man. Reporter Andriy Karkoc is a passionate defender of his 98yearold father michael karkoc. In 2013, karkoc was identified as the commander of a nazi s. S. Led ukrainian unit who ordered the massacre of 44 polish civilians during world war ii. You go your whole life with your dad to have someone accuse him of being a nazi. These are lies. This is defamation. This is slander. Its unsupported. Its innuendo. Its allegations. Reporter but polish Authorities Say they have plenty of evidence against karkoc, including nazi pay stub records and karkocs own ukrainian language memoir, in which he places himself at the site of at least one mass murder. Karkoc did not reveal his nazi past when he applied for citizenship in the United States in 1949. Or that he served with the ukrainian selfdefense legion. Affiliation with either group would have barred his entry. Mark weitzman is with the Simon Wiesenthal center, a jewish human rights organization. You would think that we know everything that we need to know about that period, but the reality is that were still learning new things almost every day. Historians are uncovering new things. Reporter germany investigated karkocs case four years ago but declined to prosecute saying he was mentally incompetent to stand trial. Scott, so far the department of justice has not publicly commented on whether or not the United States will extradite karkoc to poland. Jamie yuccas for us tonight. Thank you. Well be right back.

Goode reporter the ones that changed music forever. Jim axelrod, cbs news, new york. And thats the overnight news for this tuesday. For some of you the news continues. For others, check back with us a he morning news and be sure not to miss cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im jericka duncan. The heads of the fbi and the National Security agency went before congress to answer questions about russian interference in the november president ial election. The headline intelligence agencies are highly confident russia interfered with the goal of electing donald trump and the fbi is investigating possible coordination between russia and Trump Associates. Also, President Trump was not wiretapped by former president obama. Jeff pegues has more. I have no information that supports those tweets. Reporter several times, fbi director james comey rejected the president s claim that president obama ordered trump tower wiretapped. Adam schiff is the ranking democrat on the house intelligence commit tee. You said theres been no evidence of an illegal wiretap by president obama, is that right . I said the fbi and the Justice Department have no information to support those tweets. Reporter another white house claim that British Intelligence wiretapped trump tower on behalf of the United States was dismissed by the director of the nsa, mike rogers. I have seen nothing on the nsa side that we engaged in any such activity nor that anyone ever asked us to engage in such activity. Reporter comey did confirm that since last july the fbi has been conducting a counterintelligence investigation into russian interference in the 2016 president ial campaign and whether Trump Associates colluded with russian officials. Committee chairman republican devin nunes. Do you have any evidence that any Current Trump white house or Administration Official coordinated with the Russian Intelligence Services . Thats not a question i can answer. Reporter comey declined to answer questions dozens of times, citing the Ongoing Investigation and classified information. Dont overinterpret the fact that i say i cant comment. Im not going to comment on anybody. Reporter but cbs news has learned that those under scrutiny include former National Security adviser Michael Flynn, Campaign Foreign policy adviser carter page, onetime Campaign ChairmanPaul Manafort and roger stone, a longtime friend of President Trump. Stone told us last week that he had not broken any laws. I have no fear, because i know i had no meaningful contact whatsoever with any russians. Reporter republicans on the committee pressed comey on how information about specific individuals became public. Last month Michael Flynn was fired as National Security adviser after it was reported he had undisclosed contact with the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. South carolinas trey gowdy. Im just simply asking you to assure the American People that it is going to be investigated. I cant, but i hope people watching know how seriously we take leaks of classified information, but i dont want to confirm it by aying that were investigating it. President trump was apparently watching the hearing closely, and took to twitter in realtime to try and refute some of the testimony. Major garrett reports. Reporter President Trump ignored yet another question about his baseless wiretap claim. But he couldnt keep quiet on twitter even before todays hearing began. Mr. Trump wrote there was no evidence of Trump Campaign collusion with russian operatives, calling the narrative fake news. The democrats made up after they lost the election. Do you have any evidence . Reporter then during the hearing, mr. Trump highlighted testimony he said indicated no evidence russian meddling influenced the electoral process. A short time later, connecticut democrat jim himes read the tweet to comey. Is that accurate . Weve offered no opinion, have no view, have no information on potential impact because its never something we looked at. It certainly wasnt our intention to say that today because we dont have any information on that subject. Thats not something that was looked at. Reporter the president also noted this exchange between republican trey gowdy and fbi director comey about former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. Did you brief president obama on any calls involving Michael Flynn . Im not going to get into either that particular case, that matter, or any conversations i had with the president. I cant answer that. Mr. Reporter at the white house, press Secretary Sean Spicer tried to downplay the role of flynn and Paul Manafort, the second of three Trump Campaign managers. General flynn was a volunteer of the campaign. There has obviously been discussion of Paul Manafort, who played a limited role for a limited amount of time. Reporter spicer asserted that no evidence has been presented to suggest cooperation between Trump Associates and russian operatives. When the people who have been briefed by the fbi about collusion between individuals, the answer continues to be no, and at some point take no for an answer. Congress cast votes thursday on President Trumps federal budget. One of the most controversial parts would cut funding for the meals on wheels program. Since the white house unveiled the proposed cuts, private donations has surged. The Organizations National office took in more than 100,000 in contributions since thursday. On a normal day, they would expect just 1,000 in donations. Michelle miller reports on the program. Reporter its almost lunchtime and meals on wheels volunteer sandra bush is about to make visits to about 18 seniors in macon, georgia. Sandra says her arthritis makes it difficult to cook. If you didnt have this service it would be really bad, because people like myself, i dont walk or drive anymore. They just cant afford to go to the Grocery Store and buy all the things they need. They have to depend on someone else. Reporter thats where meals on wheels comes in, a critical lifeline for millions. A third of its 1. 4 billion budget comes from the federal government. Proposed budget cuts are putting the program at risk. We cant spend money on programs just because they sound good. And meals on wheels sounds great. So to take the federal money and give it to the states and say we want to give you money for programs that dont work. Excuse me . It works. Reporter it works for 56yearold linda priest, who signed up for the program two years ago after a stroke left her in a wheelchair. Meals on wheels delivers to her every weekday. Like most residents in jones county, she voted for donald trump. Are you surprised . Yeah. Reporter why . Because i was under the influence he was going to help us. Reporter what would you tell him to convince him not to cut the program . What if it was your mom . Reporter if this federal funding is eliminated, nearly 300 people here will stop getting their daily meal. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

But perhaps the sweetest matchup of all will come friday, when number three seeded ucla takes on number two kentucky. Kentucky is led by a pair of freshman guards. But ucla has its own superstar, freshman lonzo ball. The ball family invited Dana Jacobson in for a chat. Reporter how many hours do you think you guys have spent on this court . Five hours a day times 360. Youre looking at 15,000. Reporter levar ball built this court with one goal in mind, to turn the three Ball Brothers into ball players. The oldest, lonzo, middle child leangelo. And the baby, lamello. Was this, hey, lets have a family of basketball players . Youve got to have the right genes to play basketball. I had a lot of short cuties. So i was like man, you know what . Im going to get three boys. Reporter tina, did you know this was the plan . That was the plan. He said im going to have boys. Reporter they met when both played college basketball. And just as he predicted, the couples basketball genes were passed along to their sons. I knew i had a brand once i had all three of them. Reporter of course, those big ballers started off small. It was kind of contradicting, because people were like, big ballers, as small as they were. But after we finished whipping their tail, they knew who the big ballers were. Reporter and soon they werent so little. This is where the big ballers do their stuff. Reporter the boys train with their father seven days a week, even on holidays. That dedication led to success. Last year, all three played together in high school in southern california. Their on court chemistry, uptempo play and unlimited range electrified the gymnasium as they led the school to a state championship. The game is easier when you play with people you live with. Deep three from ball is on target. Reporter this year, as uclas starting point guard, lonzo led the nation in assists and propelled the seed to a number three seed in the country. 40 miles east in chino hills, his brothers havent missed a beat. Melo, do you miss having all three of you this year . No. I get more shots this year. Reporter you had the 92point game. Lamelos 92point game came weeks after leangelo put up 72 points. Videos of the brothers now go viral. This one has been viewed more than 500,000 times. I told people, when my boy finish playing ball, you say chino hills and the first thing out of their mouth is going to be the Ball Brothers. Reporter lavar doesnt hold back talking up his boys. Theyre going to be better than steph curry in the nba. Reporter those comments are just one of several headline grabbing statements hes made recently, leading to criticism from some Sports Writers and analysts. People have just said you need to be quiet and let your kids play ball. Two words that dont mix, lavar ball and shut up. You can featherweight that. They would be shocked if i didnt say nothing. I laugh. Whoever they try to compare my boys to, hes going to say theyre better. Thats what he believes. The bar is high, and thats fine with me. Reporter that high bar leads to competition in almost everything this tight nit family does. Whos winning . Reporter its also created an unmistakable bond between the boys and their parents. Whether or not these three basketball phenomes all end up playing in the nba, as their father has predicted, you know theres one place you will always find them playing ball. Let me tell you guys, the backyard is always open. Whenever you want to test your dad, come on. Come on through. Any time. Reporter Dana Jacobson, chino hills, california.

[car[clicking of ignition]rt] uh wha woof eeh woof wuh [silence] [engine roars to life] [dog howls] dramatic opera music swells from radio [howling continues] the United Nations has determined this years winner of the happiest nation on earth. And no, its not the United States. We came in 14th. This years award goes to norway, followed by denmark, iceland, switzerland, and finland. Denmark was number one last year. Faith salie paid a visit to see what makes that country so happy. Reporter when you picture the happiest place in the world, you might imagine white sand beaches and swaying palm trees. But it turns out the happiest place is a bit different. Welcome to denmark. A small country of nearly 6 million people. No tropical beaches here, just rain for about 50 of the year. But despite the weather, this country still maintains a sunny disposition. So sunny, in fact, its been named the happiest country in the world. What we find when we study happiness around the world is that the definition is quite similar. Author of the United NationsWorld Happiness report, which ranks the happiness of 156 countries and consistently places denmark at or near the top of the list. People want to live well. They want to have money in their pocket and in the bank. They want to trust their government. They want to be healthy. Reporter last year, america came in 13th place, behind israel and just a few notches ahead of mexico and brazil. Usa usa reporter its a ranking that might leave us scratching our heads. Americans love to chant were number one but we arent always. What does denmark have that we dont . Free health care. Uhhuh. Free education . Yes. Free maternity leave. Reporter mike is the ceo of the Happiness Institute located in copenhagen. Its the welfare state. Its focusing on reducing extreme unhappiness and investing in public foods that create quality of life for all. Reporter but this comes at a steep cost. Danes pay more income tax than any other nationality. As much as 60 . If you ask danes, are you happy paying your tax . 8 out of 10 will say yes. Thats people are aware of the huge benefits they get in terms of quality of life. Reporter jeffrey sacks says there are other benefits, too. Like the fact that denmark has one of the highest income equality and lowest poverty rate of any nation. Basically social mobility is high, because the obstacles are very, very low. Youre given the basics for a good healthy, productive life. Reporter what do you say to someone that says, thats socialism and were americans . I say its what they call social democracy. The idea is, were a market economy. Were privately owned. We better compete, so they have to be at the top of the game in technology and research and development and science and quality of education. Reporter while denmark excels in these areas, not everyone would call it a utopia. Danish people dont strike me as cheerful, just content. Everythings fine. Yeah. You can say we are the happiest country in the world. I like to say were the least unhappy. Reporter danes still face the same struggles as everyone else. The country has the highest cancer rate in the world. In part, due to its smoking and drinking habits. Large portions of the population also suffer from alcoholism and depression. Still, that hasnt kept americans like dean from moving here. What surprised you most about living in denmark . How much we liked it. Reporter originally from boston, she moved to copenhagen in 2011 with her british husband richard and their two sons. And sometimes youve got to find just the right piece to make it work, right . Reporter they liked it so much, they decided to stay. Family life balance has been phenomenally better than it would be in the u. S. The danes leave work at 5 00 and theyre home for dinner by 5 30. So richard is home for dinner every single night. We both agree that its probably the best decision that weve made as a family. Reporter the family has adopted two uniquely danish philosophies, that they say keep danes smiling a bit more than the rest of us. Hu dprvegshugas great. Theres no real translation into english. Its a danish thing. For quite a large part of the year, it gets gray here. And hygge is this sense of light and warmth and friendship into a house. Its trying to make things cozy and happy. Reporter the second uniquely danish term is called the law of yanta. That means living simply. Showing off wealth just suspect their style. It seems like in order for america to borrow from this danish notion of happiness, americans would have to give up things that are so prized. Like exceptionalism and competitiveness. Yeah. I struggle with that myself. I think maybe we just need to focus a little bit more on helping others and taking others into consideration. And i dont think that means abandoning the idea of the individual. I think it just means finding a little bit more of a balance. Reporter its a philosophy thats even mentioned on the government website, which says money is not as important in the social life here. So maybe the elusive secret to happiness isnt that much of a secret after all. Philosophers have been telling us for millenia, dont just chase the money. Theyre right. America has gotten richer, a lot richer over the last 50 years. But weve not gotten happier. Reporter its worth pondering how we americans can get our hygge on. We have learned to take each day as it comes a little bit more and to not always be thinking about whats next, whats next. I think career wise, family wise, sch,,,,,,, sometimes it take it is wisdom of a wild to turn tragedy into joy. Steve hartman found one example on the road. Reporter its every kids worst nightmare. And jaden hayes has lived it. Twice. First, he lost his dad when he was 4. Then, not long after, his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep. I criy tried and tried to ge awake. Couldnt. Reporter jaden was understandably heart broken. Anybody can die. Just anybody. Reporter but as we first reported in 2015, there was another side to his grief. A side he shared with his temporary guardian, barbara decola, after the second funeral. He told her he was getting tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. That was the beginning of it. Thats where the adventure began. Reporter jaden asked barbara to buy a bunch of little toys and bring them here to downtown savannah, georgia, near where he lived. So he could then give them away. Thank you, man. Im trying to make people smile. Rubber duckies, dinosaurs. Reporter because those are the things that make people smile . Yeah. Reporter what happens to their face. Really . See that man right there . Reporter jaden targeted people who werent already smiling and tried to turn their day around. And it worked. Its to make you smile. Reporter even if it wasnt always quite the reaction he was hoping for. It was just so overwhelming to some people that a 6yearold orphan would give away a toy, expecting nothing in return except a smile. Of course, he was paid handso handsomely in hugs. And jaden says those did help. Im still sad that my mom died. Reporter i bet you are. This was by no means a fix. But in the smiles he made, jaden clearly found a purpose. Im counting on it to be 33,000. Reporter 33,000 . Uhhuh. Reporter thats a pretty big goal. Do you think you can make that goal . I thinkky. Reporter its been two years now since we first met jaden. Today, he lives in winterville, georgia, with scott and diane, his aunt and uncle. And although he still thinks about his mom and dad a lot how are you doing . Pretty good. Reporter jaden says hes in a happier place now. How do you get from the sad place to the happy place . Time. Reporter as for his smile project, he would like to return to that mission some day. But until then, hes focusing on more ageappropriate goals. What do you want to be . Famous basketball player and a famous baseball player. Reporter and theres the only smile that matters.
