This is AP News. I'm Rita Folle. Millions of Americans are seeing some fierce weather. Massive hail and reports of tornadoes in parts of Kansas and Missouri last night. The National Weather Service is David Roth on the hail they saw in parts of Kansas. 2.75 inch diameter, so baseball sized hail, damaging car windows. Two miles east, southeast of Barnard Springs. There's been a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for parts of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Iowa through this morning. Then the storm will move to the east. And a big snowstorm is barreling through Colorado, closing some schools and offices and shutting down sections of highways leading to the Denver area. That storm isn't expected to wind down until tomorrow. More trouble in Haiti as gangs up in things there. The AP's Karen Shummas. A proposal to install new leaders in Haiti appears to have crumbled as some political parties rejected a plan to create a presidential council that would manage the transition. The panel would be responsible for choosing a new interim prime minister and council of ministers. Jean-Jacques Moise, an ex-senator and presidential candidate who's teamed up with former rebel leader Guy Filipe, announced his rejection of the proposed council backed by the international community. It was hoped that the council would lead the way down a new path for the Caribbean country that has been overrun by gangs. The violence has closed schools and businesses and disrupted daily life across the country. I'm Karen Shummas.

His attorneys say he was entitled to keep sensitive records with him when he left the White House. A one-year-old boy has died in East Hartford, Connecticut after a dog bit him, say police. They say the dog bit the child several times. Two dogs were taken out of the home and investigations underway. This is AP News. President Biden doesn't want U.S. Steel to be sold to a Japanese company. President Joe Biden says he opposes a planned sale of U.S. Steel to Napalm Steel of Japan. The president is releasing a statement today saying that it's vital that U.S. Steel remain an American steel company that's domestically owned and operated. Biden says in a statement that he does not support the purchase of U.S. Steel by Napalm Steel of Japan and that U.S. Steel has been an iconic American steel company for more than a century. Biden has made the restoration of American manufacturing a cornerstone of his agenda as he seeks another term in the White House and he has the endorsement of the AFL-CIO and several other prominent unions.
