This is AP News, I'm Rita Folle Way. Three people dead in those dangerous storms barreling through parts of the nation. The AP's done a water. Columbia, Tennessee resident Eva Grey Howard and her husband sat in their truck and prayed Wednesday evening as they watched a tornado rip through their city. Here it comes. Feel it? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Jesus please. Spirit Jesus. Oh my heavens. The storms left two people dead in Tennessee and one in North Carolina. An outbreak of torrential rain and tornadoes has cut across the country this week from the plains to the Midwest and now in the southeastern United States and forecasters warn that more dangerous storms could come.

In an interview with CNN, President Joe Biden says that the U.S. is still committed to Israel's defense and will supply iron dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms. But he says that if Israel goes into Rafa, that his administration will not supply the weapons and artillery shells used, a shipment of heavy bombs to Israel was paused last week. I'm Lisa Dwyer. Stormy Daniels will return to the witness stand today in Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York. House Speaker Mike Johnson will keep his job.

Torchbearers are carrying the Olympic flame through the city of Marseille, France today a day after it arrived for the welcoming ceremony. The flame beginning its trip across France, the Summer Olympic Games opening ceremony will be in Paris on July 26th. This is AP News. Now to President Biden and Donald Trump, the AP's Sagar Magani. President Biden is hailing new economic investments on the very spot where a Trump administration promise failed to materialize. In battleground Wisconsin, the president noted Microsoft will build a new data center in the state Southeast saying Donald Trump came to the same place and promised a $10 billion investment by electronics giant Foxconn promising to build the eighth wonder of the world. The project failed and the president says it wasted hundreds of millions of dollars and destroyed 100 homes in the process. Foxconn turned out to be just that a con calling it another in a series of Trump's broken promises. On my watch, we make promises and we keep promising. Sagar Magani Washington.
