WASHINGTON (AP) — Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller says he opposes the GOP bill scuttling much of the Obama health care law, complicating the effort by party leaders to guide the measure through the Senate. Heller faces a difficult re-election fight next year. He says he would vote against the bill in its current form but is not ruling out supporting a revamped, final version of it.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi state television has aired footage after the raid near the Grand Mosque in Mecca, showing police and rescue personnel running through the neighborhood's narrow streets where security forces confronted a suicide bomber.

LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of people who have been evacuated from a public apartment complex in northwest London are expressing anger at being hurriedly forced to leave their homes over safety concerns prompted by a fire that killed at least 79 people in a nearby high-rise.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has sent a letter to the House Intelligence Committee that quotes President Donald Trump's tweets about potential recordings of conversations between him and ousted FBI director James Comey. The committee had set a Friday deadline for the White House to say whether the president had recordings of his conversions with Comey, as Trump has suggested. Trump tweeted Thursday that he "did not make, and do not have, any such recordings."
