Amid widespread outrage over a strike that killed seven aid workers, delivering food in the Gaza Strip, Israel's punished military officers and says it would take steps to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into this trip, including the reopening of a keyboard crossing into northern Gaza. The Israeli military says it's dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in the drone strikes, saying they mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement.

That big snow and rainstorm in the Northeast led to at least two deaths and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of places. The AP's Donna Warder with the latest. A spring storm has brought heavy wet snow to the Northeast, and at one point about 700,000 homes and businesses lost power. Maine and New Hampshire got most of the power outages. But Portland main resident Jane Phillips, who was cross-country skiing in her neighborhood, says snow this time of year is a welcome thing. It's special to get snow in April, and to be able to get out and enjoy it, you know, it's funding a manor. The National Weather Service said some two feet of snow was expected in parts of northern New England with wind gusts of 50 to 60 miles an hour. I'm Donna Warder. This afternoon, President Biden will see the wreckage from that bridge that collapsed in Baltimore after a cargo ship hit it. The Francis Scott Keybridge.

The AP said Donna Hu with this. The group No Labels says it will not run a third-party campaign in the November presidential election. The bipartisan organization failed to attract a high-profile centrist who wanted to take on the dissatisfaction with the major candidates. President Biden and former President Donald Trump, CEO Nancy Jacobson, says no candidates with a credible path to the White House, emerged, and the responsible course of action was to stand down. It leaves anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the only prominent outsider still seeking the presidency. The announcement comes days after the death of the founding chairman of No Labels, former senator and former Democratic vice presidential candidate, Joe Lieberman. I'm Ed Donna Hu.
