A Civil War-era abortion ban is being repealed by the Arizona state senate. Two Republicans joined Democrats to pass the proposal. The 1864 law that banned nearly all abortions was revived by the state's Supreme Court last month.        A deadline of today has been set for pro-Palestinian protesters inside New York City's Fordham University to disband. Similar to Columbia University, the protesters set up an encampment inside a university building. Last night, police forcibly removed protesters from a Columbia hall after they took control of the building 20 hours earlier.        Secretary of State Antony Blinken says it's up to Hamas to agree to Israel's ceasefire deal. He the White House is focused on reaching a deal that addresses civilians in Gaza and the remaining Israeli hostages. While in Israel, Blinken made an unannounced visit to a Gaza border crossing where aid trucks are inspected. Prosecutors say they're ready to retry former movie producer Harvey Weinstein. The 72-year-old former movie producer was in handcuffs as he was wheeled into the courthouse. Prosecutors told the judge they could be ready to try Weinstein for a second time, as soon as September.       Interest rates remain unchanged by the Federal Reserve. This comes as officials have expressed they want to be more confident inflation is coming down before cutting rates. The central bank has said its goal is to get inflation down to two-percent.        Live Nation will once again celebrate Concert Week by offering 25-dollar tickets to hundreds of shows.
