This is AP News, I'm Rita Falle. What now? Now that the President's about to sign that just passed bill that provides billions in war aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. A new big package of U.S. military aid will help Ukraine avoid defeating its war with Russia. Winning will still be a long slog though. The arms and ammunition in the $61 billion military aid package should enable Ukraine to slow the Russian army's bloody advances, and it will buy Ukraine time for long-term planning about how to take back the fifth of the country now under Russian control. Michael Clark, visiting professor in war studies at King's College of London, says ultimately it offers Ukraine the prospect of staying in the war this year. Sometimes in warfare you've just got to avoid being rolled over. I'm Charles de Ledesma. There are billions in that just passed bill for Israel too, here in the U.S. standoffs between pro-Palestinian student protesters and universities have been growing more and more tense, New York City Mayor Eric Adams. College campuses are there to educate. Who's the thought they were going to wake up and have to deal with an issue as volatile as this?

Beijing says it's working toward eventually offering access to its own space station to space tourists and foreign astronauts. This is AP News. Tennessee lawmakers want to allow some teachers to be armed, the AP's Norman Hall. Protesters chanted blood on your hands after Tennessee House Republicans on Tuesday passed a bill that would allow some teachers and staff to carry concealed handguns on public school grounds. The bill would also bar parrots and other teachers from knowing who was armed. If Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, signs it into law, it would be the biggest expansion of gun access in the state since last year's deadly shooting at a private elementary school in Nashville. The proposal presents a starkly different response to the Covenant School shooting than Lee proposed. Republican legislators cast aside Lee's push to keep guns away from people deemed a danger to themselves or others. I'm Norman Hall. Keepmakers Stellantis is planning to lay off some workers at its U.S. factories in the coming months to deal with a rapidly changing global auto market. I'm Rita Foley, AP News. Rapid expansion. We're ready. Economic crisis. We're good. Worker shortage. Good. AI. Got it. What if a celebrity buys the company? Depends on who it is. But we're good. What if a global internet outage sends us back to the Stone Age? We're good. Anything can change the world of work. See the world turns into one of those zombie shows. Which one? We have them. Relax. We've got ADP. From HR to payroll, ADP designs forward-thinking solutions to take on the next anything. ADP. Always designing for people.
