WASHINGTON (AP) — Medical organizations and other interest groups are weighing in on the Senate Republican health care bill, and they have problems with the proposal. The American Academy of Pediatrics says the bill would hurt children by scaling back Medicaid. The Association of American Medical Colleges says it would leave millions of people without health coverage. AARP agrees with that assessment and is calling on every senator to vote no.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kuwait has given Qatar a list of demands from Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations that include shutting down Al-Jazeera and cutting diplomatic ties to Iran. That's according to a list obtained by The Associated Press from one of the countries involved in the dispute. The list says Qatar must immediately close Turkey's military base in Qatar and end military cooperation with the NATO member. It also demands an unspecified sum of compensation from Qatar.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says it's "bothersome" that the man investigating possible ties between Trump's presidential campaign and Russia is good friends with fired FBI director James Comey. Trump tells "Fox and Friends" in an interview to be broadcast Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller is "very, very good friends with Comey, which is very bothersome." Comey was overseeing the investigation until Trump fired him last month out of frustration with the inquiry.

MUKALLA, Yemen (AP) — An Associated Press investigation has found a secret network of 18 prisons where hundreds of Yemeni men have disappeared and torture and abuse are rampant. The network is run by the United Arab Emirates and by Yemeni forces it created, with at least 18 lock-ups hidden away in military bases, air and seaports, the basements of private villas and even a nightclub. American interrogators have questioned detainees, which experts say could violate international laws against complicity in torture.

BRUSSELS (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Britain's promise to grant full rights to EU citizens who have been living in Britain for five years a "a good start" to Brexit talks. Merkel said at an EU leaders summit that British Prime Minister Theresa May "said clearly" to her peers that EU citizens who have been living in the U.K. that long "will be able to hold on to full rights" once Britain leaves the bloc. But Merkel cautioned that the Brexit negotiations involve "many, many other issues."
