if mag fwa republicans get their way. american defaults on our debt. higher interest rates for credit cards, mortgages, payments for social security, veterans could all be halted or delayed according to moody's, 8 million americans would lose their jobs. >> on friday, the president is set to meet again with congressional leaders after talks to raise the debt ceiling stalled earlier this week. missouri lawmakers voted on wednesday to ban gender-affirming care for minors and prevent transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams but kansas city is to vote on creating a sanctuary for people seeking gender-affirming treatment. the bills will go to governor parson's desk where he is expected to sign them into law it would mean that transgender minors in missouri would lose access to hormones and surgery

israel close to the border with gaza, but it hit an empty home, so there were no injuries there. >> why did the violence there flare up again >> reporter: well, the conflict and the violence started erupting last week when a militant belonging to the palestinian islamic jihad group died while in israeli custody, following a prolonged hunger strike that triggered a series of rocket attacks from gaza fired by that group into southern israel and then on tuesday morning, the early hours of tuesday morning, israel retaliated with a series of airstrikes all over gaza, killing at least 25 palestinians and injuring 71 others israel says it is targeting that jihad group. and they say they have killed three main militants from that

group. but palestinians are also saying it killed also tens of civilians, including women and children phillip, frances >> developing story, claudio lavanga reporting from rome. there is a storm headed to the central plains that could snarl the commute for millions of americans bill karins is tracking that for us >> great to be with you guys this system did produce about 11 tornados, mostly in colorado there was a couple in kansas and one in arkansas. we do have a flash flood threat with this heavy rain from east texas into northern louisiana. this is the storm system bringing more heavy rain from denver into the plains we do have flash flood warnings with that area of slow-moving rain and an area just outside of little rock. additional flooding is possibl and also a portion there of eastern montana. the story later this afternoon will be do we get an isolated strong tornado or two. it is possible
