commercial aircraft and a military helicopter, safer. us president donald trump says tariffs on canada, them on the eu too. aircraft crashed and sparked a large fire in a built—up the city's office of emergency the city's office of emergency

and the first fatal crash involving a us commercial airline since 2009. first responders found the aircraft's black box on thursday — it holds the voice and data recording from the cockpit that could help investigators discover what exactly went wrong. emergency officials say they're working to remove debris from the river before they can continue recovering the victims. we will go back and look at any at air traffic control involved. look at their past 70 towers or even two or three weeks, look at the training, hiring, everything. what they probably ate that day. there is not one point that tells us everything it is laid onto a lot of other information that very critical. and as those recovery operations continue, we are learning more about the victims who have been identified. many of them had connections

to wichita, where the american airlines plane was flying in from. this is earlier today — where hundreds of people crowded into the noontime prayer vigil at wichita city hall to mourn their own. one of those was kiah duggins, a civil rights lawyer, who was set to begin teaching at howard university's school of law in the autumn. for more on this i spoke to city council member from wichita, kansas, brandonjohnson. thank you so much for being with us in this difficult moment for you and your community. i am sure your community is reeling from what happened. how are people in wichita doing? you know, the people in wichita, and thanks for having me, we have high spirits, but it's definitely devastating. people are trying to figure out who else may have been on the airline, and what we know. we haven't seen a manifest yet, but what we saw at the vigil was people coming together, praying together, and trying to support one another. and that's what we do at tough times in the city.

and i understand you personally knew kiah duggins, who was onboard — and i'm very sorry to you and her community. could you share some memories of her? kiah's amazing. i met her at wichita state university, she was a student there, my wife worked there at the time. she was just always full of life, inspirational, achieving things, trying to get other people to achieve things, standing up for what's right. just an amazing young person, being an intern for michelle 0bama, just her, herfamily, her parents are just great people. there's so many stories being shared about the impact she made in people's lives here — and i know she was going to do even more in her life. a remarkable young woman, many extraordinary people on board, people who were

important to their community. how is the community doing while the investigation is going on? what kinds of questions are people in your community now asking and needing answers for? i think people want to know what happened exactly and how, so that it never happens again. but wichitans are patient to see all the facts come out and not rush to judgement. again, i think many of us are waiting to see who else was on the flight so we can support those who are starting to tell their stories — and we're seeing some of those stories being talked about on social media now. but again, we just want to support one another and uplift. this is devastating, to have such a high loss of life in an instant. we alljust need to come together and support one another, and cherish the moments we have with our loved ones. absolutely, and you were mentioning already how your community has been coming together — but ijust wonder, in these coming weeks and months, what kind of support in a more official

capacity will people need? and also, how are you memorialising those people who have been lost? so, we've been talking as a council about how, once we know from the manifest any wichitans, we can start planning maybe a larger memorialfor those individuals. we've already changed the lights to the colour of unity and peace here in wichita — the governor's ordered flags at half—staff for a few days into next month. so we're doing those things, we want to make sure we honour those who were guests here at the ice—skating competition. just so many amazing people who lost their lives, and we'll do what we can to make sure we honour them all. and lastly, sir, washington, dc and wichita will forever be tragically linked because of this — i wonder what you made from the comments from donald trump in the wake

of this awful tragedy? i think these victims and their families deserve a lot better than what they received from the president. there was a lack of humanity, dignity, compassion that was there, and they deserved more from their president. but we here in wichita are making sure that we are coming together to support those folks, and make sure that we honour people in the right way, and we don't look to things that divide us, but to what can unite us.

and we'll put a lot of tariffs on steel. we already have tariffs on steel, and we saved our steel industry, but that's relatively small compared to what it'll be. the tariffs will disrupt more than $1.5 trillion so why are tariffs being imposed? here's our north america editor, sarah smith with more. he had promised to introduce tough tariffs on day one. i always say, tariffs is the most beautiful word

who left us. migrants crossing their borders and into america, and to stem on china for the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country. hundreds of billions of dollars worth of imports are trucked from mexico and canada into america, and the other way around. around. to america is oil. they are each other�*s biggest trading partners by far. for instance, 90% of the avocados sold in america come from mexico. charging a 25% tax on each fruit that crosses the border will hurt mexican exporters, will hurt mexican exporters, but it also risks increasing but it also risks increasing

prices for american consumers. prices for american consumers. canada's biggest export canada's biggest export to america is oil. even 10% import tariffs risk raising costs for americans, and, of course, canada will also feel the pain if america buys less of their oil. the prime minister says that he is ready to respond. if the president does choose to implement any tariffs against canada, we are ready with a response. a purposeful, forceful but reasonable, immediate response. 10% tariffs will be charged on all of the electronics and other goods that are shipped to america from china. donald trump says he wants china to stop fentanyl being exported to america — but it doesn't hurt to also punish one of your biggest global competitors. donald trump firmly believes he is the world's best negotiator, and appears confident that punishing tariffs will force other nations to do what he wants. but if that doesn't happen quickly, he is risking a trade war that could result

in american voters paying the price. for more reaction from canada, bbc newsnight has been speaking with mark carney. he is a former governor of the bank of england — and is now a frontrunner to replacejustin trudeau as canada's prime minister. he struck a defiant tone when asked about us tariffs imposed on canada by trump. i think president trump probably thinks that we in canada will cave in, but we're going to stand up to a bully. we're not going to back down. we're united and we will retaliate. ultimately, the steps that the president is taking against canada — contemplating, i guess, as well against mexico, china, others and threatening the world — are going to rebound negatively on the united states. they're going to hit growth. they're going to move up inflation. they're going to raise interest rates. they're going to damage the us�*s reputation around the world. i mean, let's be absolutely clear. this is the second time in less than ten years, less than eight years,

that the united states has, in effect, ripped up a trade agreement with its closest trading partner, that it negotiated in good faith. with me now in studio is matt terrill. he's a republican strategist who is managing partner at firehouse strategies, and former chief of staff to the now—secretary of state marco rubio�*s presidential campaign in 2016. and joining remotely isjoi chaney, a democratic strategist, who previously served as chief of staff and senior advisor to senator kirsten gillibrand. the us has now confirmed tariffs against canada, we want
