This is AP News, I'm Rita Folle. Several states are going to see severe thunderstorms today, most of Texas towards the lower Mississippi Valley and across the Gulf Coast states. Severe thunderstorms, several tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds, says the weather service. It appears Arizona will soon join 14 other states that have banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy after a state Supreme Court ruling Tuesday that officials may enforce an 1864 law. The AP's Haya Pangewani. The 1864 law in Arizona criminalizes all abortions except when a mother's life is at stake. That also means there are no exceptions for rape or incest. Democratic Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona said the move was wrong. And it's going to have a devastating effect on the health and freedom of women in Arizona. Currently 14 states are enforcing bans on abortion at all stages of pregnancy with limited exceptions. I'm Haya Pangewani. The Center for Arizona Policy, a longtime backer of anti-abortion proposals, says the state Supreme Court reached an appropriate conclusion. Now to President Biden, who says the way Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is handling the war in Gaza is a mistake. The AP's Charles D'Alirezma. Biden's remarks in a television interview that aired late on Tuesday, deep and an already growing rift between the two staunch allies over the war, now in its seventh month. Those disagreements have compounded over the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Israel's expected offensive in the city of Rafa and Israel's recent strike on a humanitarian convoy, which killed seven aid workers. Most of them foreigners. Alan Weisselberg, a former executive in Donald Trump's real estate empire, will be sentenced today for lying under oath in Donald Trump's New York civil fraud case. He's expected to give five months in jail. This is AP News. Now to the Air Force and AI-controlled drones, the AP's Norman Hall. The Air Force is betting a large part of its future air warfare on a fleet of more than 1,000 autonomously operated drones. The service has been tight-lipped on what the fleet of drones will look like in size or platform, whether they will be full-size war planes or something smaller. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall told senators that a hearing on the service's 2025 budget that he will enter the cockpit of one of the F-16s that the service has converted for drone flight to see for himself how the AI-controlled plane performs in the air. There will be a pilot with me who will just be watching as I will be. I, Norman Hall.
