Reporter the department claims the video it released shows one of those activists directing students to use a table to block the doors at Hamilton Hall.

And for much of the day, School Officials have been working to reunite these students with their families. J. B. . James charlie, thank you. Tonight, the central u. S. Is bracing for another wave of severe storms, with the threat of tornadoes, powerful wind gusts, large hail, and flash floods. This comes on the heels of a tornado that killed one person and injured three others in the small town of westmoreland, kansas, on tuesday. Nearly two dozen homes were destroyed. Lets get the forecast from meteorologist chris warren, with our partners at the weather channel. Good evening, chris. Good evening, j. B. We are tracking multiple threats across the Southern Plains this evening in terms of severe weather. That does include a tornado threat. The torcon of 3 out of 10. If there is a number, there is a threat for tornadoes. Also another threat, very large hail, could see a golf ballsize hail, possibly even isolated areas with baseballsize hail. And then, the rain, which ultimately by morning could end up being one of the bigger threats. Heavy rain developing here across texas and oklahoma will lead to rivers continuing to rise, some already in flood stage, but it is that flood threat, j. B. , that is not just possible, the flash flood threat, but likely for some areas to be waking up in the morning here in texas with flash flooding ongoing. James wow. What a challenge. Thank you so very much. Now to two major developments today on the fight over abortion rights in america. A sixweek ban on the procedure just went into effect in florida today. And in arizona, the legislature voted to repeal a civil warera ban on nearly all abortions. We have two reports, starting with cbss caitlin hueyburns. The consequences are profound. Reporter hours before floridas sixweek abortion ban took effect, jacksonville dr. Shelly tien rushed to see as many patients as she could. Six weeks is very, very early in pregnancy. Its two weeks past a missed period. Most women and girls dont even realize that they are pregnant. Reporter florida had been a refuge for patients seeking abortions in the south. Now the state joins 12 others in the region with total or neartotal bans. Starting today, the closest options for the procedure are North Carolina or virginia. Its a victory for babies. Its a victory for women. Reporter state Republican House member dean black voted for the sixwek ban, which includes exceptions for rape, incest, fatal fetal abnormalities, and the life of the mother. We think we have a good law, a compassionate law, a moral law. It can serve as a guide for other states. Reporter today, Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned in jacksonville, where she blamed former President Trump for the new law. As of this morning, 4 million women in this state woke up with fewer reproductive freedoms than they had last night. Reporter trump, a florida resident, has criticized his states sixweek ban, but he said this today while campaigning in wisconsin. Its up to the state. Theyll ask me a question about it, i say thats up to the state. You have passed house bill 2677. Reporter in arizona today, State Senators decided whether to keep their states neartotal abortion ban. Cbss Janet Shamlian was on the floor during the vote. Reporter here in arizona at the capital, lawmakers today rose one by one to defend their vote, whether to keep or repeal the states civil warera abortion ban. If passed, the states democratic governor says she will sign it. Its been a pretty bad day in my mind. Reporter two republican senators voted with democrats to ensure its passage, frustrating fellow republicans. They and i disagree. Reporter outside in the heat, tempers flared. Antiabortion activists gathered showing their disapproval. Just, yeah, devastation. Its lives that god has created. Reporter it is now likely arizona will be under a neartotal abortion ban for months this summer, until the law returns to a 15week ban. Reporter back here in florida, clinics have already started turning away patients. And in november, voters in florida and arizona will decide whether To Enshrine Abortion Rights into their states constitution. But here in florida, thats an uphill climb. It will need 60 to pass, which is more than what was needed when it was on the ballot in other swing states. J. B. . James thank you, caitlin. Secretary of state Antony Blinken was back in israel today for the seventh time since the war with hamas began last october. Blinken is pushing hard for a stop to the fighting, but cbss Ramy Inocencio reports from tel aviv, progress on a deal seems out of reach. Reporter handshakes and smiles aside, in the quest for a ceasefire with hamas, Secretary Of State Antony Blinken shot down israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus plan for a final gaza invasion.

Thank you, biden thank you, blinken reporter a more receptive welcome came from families of hostages pleading for a ceasefire to get all hostages home. I feel like im broken up into pieces. Reporter for aviva siegel, her american husband, keith, is one of them. This Proof Of Life video released just days ago. And i know that keith has had enough. Our family has had enough. Our country has had enough. Reporter aviva herself was a hostage, released after 51 days. She, her daughter, and families of other american hostages had a facetoface meeting with blinken. What was the feeling . Really grateful for what the United States has been doing since october 7th. Reporter another Sticking Point to a ceasefire, aid to gaza. The u. N. Warns of impending famine. Blinken toured roofs being torn up and called for more. It to be accelerated. It needs to be sustained. Reporter for the first time aid started flowing through a reopened Border Crossing destroyed on october 7th. As gazans rallied to thank University Students for their protests in solidarity. And Antony Blinken left the region a few hours ago back to washington. Israel hasnt confirmed it will send a delegation to any ceasefire talks. Hamas still hasnt replied to israels proposal. J. B. . James thank you, ramy. There was an issue on capitol hill today. A private Health Insurer apologized for a cyber attack this winter that crippled a large portion of the u. S. Health care system. Cbss Nicole Sganga was at the congressional hearing. If you all cant figure this out. Reporter Outrage Today on capitol hill. A company on your watch let the country down.

Reporter and reveal the company paid a 22 million ransom to russianlinked cyber criminals, who broke into Change Healthcare on February 12th using stolen credentials, breaching a server not equipped with multifactor authentication, compromising Sensitive Health care data. Ten weeks is way too long for millions of americans to not know that their records may be available to criminals on the dark web. Reporter unitedhealth says Payment Systems are mostly up and running, and they have issued 6. 5 billion in assistance loans. But physicians like dr. Christine meyer of exton, pennsylvania, who first spoke with cbs news in march, say its not enough. Let me first off apologized to dr. Meyer. Reporter her practice now forced to divert Patient Resources to the billing department, drowning under a backlog of claims. There are losses that we will never recover. Reporter you think united should seriously consider forgiving some of these loans . Absolutely. I think thats the least they could do. Theyre going to get all of their dollars back, and were not . Why is that okay . Reporter the unitedhealth ceo says its too soon to estimate how many had their data stolen, but called it a substantial proportion of patience, including veterans and members of the u. S. Armed forces. And j. B. , the company has vowed to provide free Credit Monitoring to anyone impacted. Reporter more to come. Thank you, nicole.
