BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Filled with paratroopers, a U.S. warplane lumbered down an English runway in 1944 to spearhead the World War II D-Day invasion with a message for Adolf Hitler painted in bright yellow across its nose: "That's All, Brother."

Seventy-five years later, in a confluence of history and luck, that plane is again bound for the French coast for what could be the last great commemoration of the Allied battle to include D-Day veterans, many of whom are now in their 90s.

Hundreds of demonstrators have marched to the Alabama Capitol to protest the state's new abortion ban. 

Protesters chanted "My body, my choice!" and "vote them out!" as they rallied Sunday evening, days after Governor Kay Ivey signed the near total abortion ban into law.

But there was no coming back from the right later in the round that immediately dropped Breazeale, who was trying to get up as referee Harvey Dock counted him out at 2:17 of the round.

Alabama environmental regulators have proposed a $250,000 fine against Alabama Power Company after groundwater tests near the company's coal ash pond in Gadsden showed high levels of arsenic and radium.  

Alabama Department of Environmental Management says Alabama Power "caused or allowed the unpermitted discharge of pollutants associated with ash pond wastewater ... to waters of the State."

The violations stem from groundwater test results submitted May 2. The samples were taken from 18 wells around the now-closed ash pond on the Coosa River.
