What weve learned from abc News New York this is america this morning. Good wednesday morning everyone. Im rhiannon ally and im andrew dymburt. President biden is arriving in israel this morning amid growing outrage over the bombing of a hospital in gaza. Its become a flashpoint in the war between israel and hamas. Hundreds of people were reportedly killed in that explosion. Israel says it has evidence proving that Israeli Forces were not responding for the blast. But antiisrael protests spread across the middle east overnight. In some cases, even turning violent. As President Biden meets with israel leaders today, he faces the challenge of trying to prevent a wider war from breaking out while also trying to get humanitarian aid into gaza, where millions have been without food, water and power since hamas carried out that deadly attack on israel 11 days ago. Abcs lana moise begins our coverage of the overnight developments. President biden arriving in israel this morning amid rising tensions as israels war with hamas triggers new protests around the globe. The secret service saying it has an immensely intricate security plan to protect the president in an active war zone as he meets with israeli leaders, americans are grieving with you. They really are. And americans are worried. Americans are worried because we know theres a this is not an easy field to navigate. What you have to do. So as they respond to these attacks, it seems to me that they have to continue to ensure that you have what you need to defend yourselves. And were going to make sure that occurs. As you know, saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday. And based on what ive seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team. Not not you. The high stakes meeting comes after the catastrophic strike on this hospital in gaza that also served as a shelter for Palestinian Civilians forced to flee their homes. The Gaza Health Ministry reporting at least 500 people were killed, including young children. And the only hospital that can receive these these killed people is out of electricity. What are you. We what to do . Were just asking one question. Where are we supposed to go . Israel denies responsibility, saying a failed rocket launch by a Palestinian Militant Group caused a blast. Aerial munition does not look like that aerial munition of israel would have caused intact to the walls. A us official last night saying it will take time to determine where the blast came from. But the Palestinian Authority president blames israel for the attack, calls it a massacre. President abbas, Jordans King Abdullah and egypts president sisi have all pulled out of a summit with biden that was scheduled to be held in jordan. President biden saying he was outraged and deeply saddened by the explosion and the terrible loss of life that resulted. The blast triggering protests across the middle east overnight from the west bank to beirut and east to jordan. What some trying to storm the Israeli Embassy in amman. Security forces using tear gas to disperse the crowd. Protesters in iran also marched outside of the french and british embassies, said fire to israels flag. Meanwhile, with a potential Ground Invasion from israel still looming, the humanitarian crisis in gaza is growing more dire. Read outs trapped without power and little food, water or medicine. Doctors pleading for resources as some hospitals reportedly have less than a days worth of fuel to power their generators. Now, there is some encouraging news overnight. Israeli officials saying some humanitarian aid would be handed out south of the gaza river. Its urging people in gaza city and points north to evacuate to that area for assistance. But, of course, it remains a chaotic situation. All right, lionel moise reporting for us. Lionel, thank you. And its not just security that makes President Bidens visit to israel today risky. His trip is also politically dangerous. Lets bring in abcs White House Correspondent maryalice parks. Maryalice. Whats the president hoping to accomplish with this trip . Yeah, andrew, this is perhaps the most difficult trip of his presidency. Hes looking to not only support israel, but also try to tamp down tensions in the region. The white house says that the president is going to try to personally impress upon netanyahu how important it is to get humanit italian aid into gaza and get innocent people out. But there are no guarantees politically. It is a major risk. And now he will not even have the chance to meet face to face with several, several arab leaders like we were just talking about. After that massive explosion at the hospital in gaza. And those leaders with their own borders are key. A big picture just being so closely tied to netanyahu after this trip could be difficult if this campaign rages on. He cannot afford to come home empty handed. And andrew, the Biden Administration is also drafting a new foreign aid package. What are you learning about that plan . Yeah, were learning it could be really big, as big as 100 billion with perhaps 10 billion of that going towards israel. Our sources tell us that the bulk of this proposal will probably be for ukraine, that congress could expect an official request from the white house later this week. Now, the us already has an agreement to provide israel with some aid about 3. 8 billion over ten years. But its easy to imagine how israel is looking for more military assistance right now. Andrew maryalice parks for us in washington, d. C. Maryalice thank you. We are learning more this morning about the effort to rescue about 200 hostages that were taken from israel by hamas. Sources say Israeli Special operations units are already inside of gaza looking for the missing men, women and children and carrying out raids. The troops are training for house to house fighting in israel is testing small drones that can fly into rooms to search for militants. So far, weve only heard from one hostage, 21 year old mia shem. Her mother was relieved to see her daughter alive, but she worries about her suffering. She went through operation alone without nobody to hold her hand in with terrorists around her. I mean, this is the Worst Nightmare every mother can have. The hostages, family have enlisted former israeli officials to conduct back channel talks with people in gaza. Stay with abc news for more coverage from the middle east, including live coverage of President Bidens remarks in israel coming up later this morning.

The ohio conservative has divided the party due in part to his staunch support of former President Trump and his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election. Other critics question his track record as a lawmaker. None of the bills he sponsored has ever become law. So were looking at electing a person who would be second in line to the presidency, whos never passed a bill. A decades old abuse scandal. Also hangs over jordans head, stemming from his time as an assistant wrestling coach at ohio state university. Hes abandoned us for his own selfish reasons when he could have helped us. Hes chosen not to. Wrestlers from the team are renewing calls for accountability over jordans alleged inaction surrounding claims that the teams late doctor was molested. Students. The fact that the doctor was around us in our in our saunas and our showers is changing with everyone. You would have you would have to know about what is going on. Everybody knew what was going on there at that point in time. Jordan, who is named as a witness in a lawsuit against the university, has denied knowledge of the alleged abuse. His office saying chairman jordan never saw or heard of any abuse. And if he had, he would have dealt with it. And back here in washington, round two of voting is expected this morning.

S this morning, prosecutor others have revealed plans to potentially recharge alec baldwin for his alleged role in the deadly shooting on the set of his movie rust, saying theyll soon present new evidence to a grand jury.

So you never pulled the trigger . No, no, no, no, no. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never.

But now prosecutors say after an extensive investigation, additional facts have come to light and that they believe mr. Baldwin has criminal culpability. Among the new evidence, a report that reveales found to function properly and that the trigger had to be pulled for the weapon to fire.

We turn now to new hope in efforts to help children with autism. There could soon be a new way to diagnose them. Even earlier. Heres abcs andrea fujii. This morning researchers hope a new app can close the gap in autism spectrum diagnosis. So the challenge is that the signs are ambiguous. If were just looking at behaviors, doctors say Early Detection is key for treatment and usually that means parents filling out a questionnaire at a childs two year checkup. But experts say those questionnaires can miss important signs and arent as effective in girls or ethnic minorities. So researchers at Duke University are developing an app they say can more quickly and accurately diagnose autism in young children. Its based on observations of behavior. So how do you develop a tool that can precisely measure behavior to in an accurate way that could pick up on really subtle signs in many cases early in life . The app takes fewer than ten minutes to administer and includes a series of prompts and videos for kids to respond to. It can make the difference between whether they learn to speak or dont, whether they can go to a general classroom or not. According to the cdc, about 3 of children have been identified with autism spectrum disorder, with boys four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed. Dr. Danny fannin says it was hard to diagnose her two kids, but she knew something was wrong. There were things they would do like kicking their legs and their arms was definitely their eye gaze was different, she says. An app like this could have made a difference. The National Institute of health is helping fund this project. The app is still in the trial phase.
