This is AP News, I'm Rita Folle. A food charity group says an apparent Israeli strike in Gaza killed at least six international aid workers and their Palestinian driver. Those killed reportedly include a dual US-Canadian citizen. Israel says it's looking into this. The charity, the World Central Kitchen, was founded by celebrity chef Jose Andres. Former President Trump has posted bond in his fraud case. According to a court filing, Donald Trump has posted a $175 million bond in his New York civil fraud case. The bond halts collection of the more than $454 million he owes and prevents the state from seizing his assets to satisfy the debt while he appeals. A New York appellate court had given the former president ten days to put up the money after a panel of judges agreed last month to slash the amount needed to stop the clock on enforcement. The bond is meant to guarantee payment if the judgment is upheld. If that happens, Trump will have to pay the state the whole sum. If he wins, he will get back the money. A Norman Hall. Now to that cargo ship that rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The owner and manager of the ship want to limit legal liability in a new filing. The filing seeks to cap the company's liability at roughly $43.6 million. While lawyer Enrique Serna says the goal of synergy in Grace Ocean is to try to limit their legal exposure. What this does is it stops all litigation. It consolidates it in this one filing. A federal court in Maryland will ultimately decide who is responsible and how much they owe. I'm Lisa Dwyer.
