This is AP news minute.

1. Donald Trump1 is preparing for his speech at the republican national convention Thursday night. The republican presidential nominee2 will be introduced by his daughter Ivanka. 

2. Meanwhile, Texas senator Ted3 Cruz is not backing down from his refusal to endorse4 his former rival. His speech on Wednesday was not taken well by many in the GOP, including Newt Gingrich, who said delegates were hoping Cruz would work to unify5 their party. 

3. Secretary of state John Kerry hosted a global meeting to combat the Islamic State, with defense6 and foreign ministers attending from several countries. The Anti-IS coalition7 is working to rebuild Iraq as it takes territory from the militants8 and stop further attacks. 

4. Sotheby's is hoping to break a world record for the price of a prewar car sold at auction9. Next month, they will put this 1939 Alfa Romeo up for auction and they hope it will fetch about $15 million.
