6:31 pm
this is the "cbs evening news." >> john: good evening. i'm john dickerson. >> maurice: i'm maurice dubois. >> john: most americans own stock, either directly or through retirement accounts, and those accounts took a beating today, as stock prices plunge. >> maurice: the dow at one point was down nearly 3% before recovering some and closing with a loss of just over 2%. >> john: the broader-based s&p 500 fell nearly 3%, and the nasdaq, heavy with tech stocks, took a 4% nosedive. >> maurice: investors were dumping stock amid a world of worries, including inflation, the president's refusal to rule out a recession, and his escalating trade war. cbs "money watch" correspondent kelly o'grady joins us. so, kelly, what is going on? >> look, it is one word: uncertainty, okay? today's sell-off would've been eye-popping alone but it follows a roller coaster ride last week as well. fears of a recession sparked
6:32 pm
a major sell-off in stocks following comments from president trump. in an interview with fox news, the president would not rule out the possibility of a recession but admitted this is a "period of transition." >> are you expecting a recession this year? >> i hate to predict things like that. >> the tech sector took it hardest. the magnificent 7 stocks, once the stars of the bull market, led declines as investors sold off in search of safer investments. elon musk's electric car company tesla had its worst day in four and a half years. the stock fell 15%. losses went beyond tech stocks into retail, communications, and the banking sector. while the white house did not take questions, they issued a statement saying in part the sell-off was a "strong divergence between short-term animal spirits of the market and what we're actually seeing unfold from businesses." >> john: and kelly o'grady joins us now. kelly, let's unpack that jargon from the white house. what are they saying about
6:33 pm
animal spirits and the regular business that's going on? put that into context for us. >> sure, look, animal spirits. it's just an investor term. it's fancy for saying you're trading on vibes, not performance. but basically what the white house is saying is the market is not the economy. the truth is the data doesn't say we're in a recession yet. you'll talk to a lot of analysts and they say look, the tech stocks, they've been overbought. what you saw today was sort of a rebalancing. but what investors also tell me is that consumer sentiment around what's happening can impact how they spend, and investors are worried that all this chaos is going to precipitate a world where businesses and consumers are sort of in an economic paralysis nd they just spend less. >> maurice: very quickly, kelly, what are you expecting next? >> a lot of new data and more inflation data, interest-rate decision, and more gdp data. that is important, maurice, because two quarters of negative gdp, that equals a recession and that's when we worry. >> john: all figures we will have you back on here to talk about. kelly o'grady, thank you.
6:34 pm
>> maurice: in the trade war, canada and china fired the latest shots today. the province of ontario put a 25% surcharge on electricity sales to michigan, minnesota, and new york. ed o'keefe will have more about that from ottawa. >> john: but first, china slapped an additional 15% import tax on american farm products including pork, poultry, beef, and soybeans. lana zak is in the heart of farm country: mount vernon, iowa. >> these are all beef cows. >> reporter: tim keegan calls himself a pretty basic iowa farmer. his family's been working the land in mount vernon, a few hours east of des moines, for generations. their livelihood comes from corn, soybeans, and a small herd of 150 cows. how high are the stakes for you? >> it's tough, because within agriculture, i mean, we essentially get one chance a year to raise a crop and market that crop and sell that crop. >> reporter: you don't have five different harvests? >> no, it's not like we are a factory where we are constantly putting out widgets every day and we can make
6:35 pm
a change and the widget will come out cheaper or different the next day. we are forced to be a lot more forward thinking, the nature of our business. >> reporter: china is the largest overseas market for many u.s. farm products. last year, the u.s. exported nearly $13 billion worth of soybeans from farmers like keegan to china alone. and another 1.5 billion in beef. now, import tariffs up to 15% from china, are hitting cash crops. >> i think people within agriculture are hoping that some of this is, these tariffs and stuff will be short-term from a negotiation standpoint. and if they are long-term, they will have some pretty big impacts within the industry. >> 41 years later, we are still here. >> reporter: bount vernon's mayor, thomas wieseler, says even short-term tariffs on the town's farmers could send shock waves through the economy. >> we need them to be successful on every level. we need a thriving agricultural community. otherwise there is a gap in what we can provide to our citizens here. it will ripple down through our main street, through our
6:36 pm
community, and it will affect local leadership. >> reporter: i'm ed o'keefe in ottawa. today canada's largest province, ontario, added a 25% tariff on the cost of electricity wired to about 1.5 million customers in minnesota, michigan, and new york. >> believe me when i say i do not want to do this. >> reporter: ontario's premier, doug ford, repeating a message he first told cbs news last week. >> i feel terrible for the american people because it's not the american people who started this trade war. it's one person who's responsible. that's president trump. >> reporter: most canadian imports are facing a 25% tariff and president trump is threatening others on canadian dairy and lumber that could start next month. the on-again, off-again tariffs anger canada's new leader. >> these are dark days. dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust. >> reporter: mark carney, a harvard-educated economist who once worked for goldman sachs,
6:37 pm
will succeed justin trudeau after a race that centered around trump's tariffs and threats to make canada the 51st state. >> the americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country. [booing] think about it. if they succeeded, they would destroy our way of life. >> reporter: francois-philippe champagne is canada's minister of industry. >> i think there's a better understanding from the american people that a tariff on canada is really like a tax on americans. >> reporter: you've been involved in u.s.-canada relations for many years. >> ten years. >> reporter: has it ever been this salty? >> never. it doesn't need to be that way. >> maurice: ed o'keefe joins us now from ottawa. ed, what else do we expect the canadians to do in response? >> reporter: today the head of ontario didn't rule out potentially cutting off that electricity that he sends to minnesota, michigan, and new york if this continues. that obviously would be a big pain point.
6:38 pm
what we don't know yet is how the cost of this is going to be felt by american households. arguably the longer this goes on inevitably the price will be there and we'll see about other tariffs that the canadians might put in place, retaliating against the ones we're putting on them. >> john: ed, normally we see you from the white house. what's the white house saying about what people should think about these economic difficulties? >> reporter: in part, they're cleaning up the sort of unclear message or the mixed message from the president over the weekend about whether or not he can definitively rule out a recession, which he coul not. but they argue short-term stock market pain is designed to readjust the american economy for long-term gain felt more by the working class. so we should point out over the weekend, the president's tariffs earned a big endorsement from a former critic, the head of the united auto workers union, saying tariffs are a good thing because it's going to help boost american manufacturing. so we'll see what the political pain looks like alongside the economic hurt many are feeling. >> maurice: we will. ed o'keefe, north of the border tonight in ottawa.
6:39 pm
thank you. >> john: now some of the top stories from around the world in tonight's "evening news" roundup. in washington, black lives matter plaza is being dismantled. the street mural dates back to the protests after the 2020 murder of george floyd. mayor muriel bowser agreed to remove it after republicans in congress threatened to withhold funding for the city. >> maurice: the gutting of usaid is over. secretary of state marco rubio says the 18% of foreign aid programs that survived will be absorbed by the state department. >> john: doctors say pope francis is no longer in imminent danger of death. the pope, who is 88, has been in the hospital for more than three weeks for treatment of pneumonia. >> maurice: and a fiery collision off the east coast of england today. a portuguese cargo ship carrying sodium cyanide hit a u.s. tanker loaded with military jet fuel. dozens had to be rescued. jet fuel has spilled into the sea. ian lee is at the scene for us tonight. ian? >> reporter: right now, the
6:40 pm
coast guard is still battling fires on those ships just over the horizon. the company operating the u.s. flag stena immaculate says their crew is safe but the operator of the portuguese flag solong says one person is still missing. environmentalists now worry a mixture of jet fuel, ship oil, and sodium cyanide in the water could have a deadly impact on wildlife. >> john: ian lee reporting from england. >> maurice: still ahead on the "cbs evening news," lonnie quinn with a tornado tearing through a neighborhood near orlando. >> john: and we'll have these stories. >> reporter: i'm mark strassmann in boston. instead of going to the hospital, what if the hospital came to you? what's old is new again. house calls. why that approach works for the patient and the hospital, coming up on tonight's "eye on america." >> reporter: i'm holly williams at the superhuman center in lvi. they're rebuilding bodies here shattered by vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. that's next on the

the 3-year-old war in ukraine. >> maurice: secretary of state marco rubio, heading the u.s. delegation, suggested ukraine will now have to agree to let russia keep some of the territory it seized. >> john: ukrainians have already paid a heavy price defending their freedom. holly williams is in lviv. >> reporter: vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine has ripped this country apart. in three years of war, it's estimated 50,000 ukrainians have lost a limb, perhaps many more. andrii solomin was an infantry company commander who lost both his legs to a russian drone last year and is still practicing on new prosthetics. he told us he volunteered to fight the same day russia invaded in 2022. you've made an enormous sacrifice for your country. was it worth it? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> [speaking in a global language]
6:44 pm
>> reporter: "to be honest," he told us, "freedom is expensive." president trump says he wants to end the war in ukraine to stop ukrainians dying. do you believe him? "i'd like to, but he reminds me of a show man," he told us. "his words rarely correlate with his actions." at the superhuman center in western ukraine, most of their patients are soldiers who fought to defend their country and paid with their flesh and blood. the center is partially funded by millions of dollars in private donations from the u.s. and used to receive money from usaid until that was cut by president trump. they told us they are grateful for all of it. we first met denys keivenko nearly two years ago just after he lost both legs and an arm to a russian antitank rocket. now fitted with high-tech prosthetics, he's training to be
6:45 pm
a psychologist. if russia agrees to a cease-fire deal, do you trust vladimir putin to stick to his word? >> [speaking in a global language] >> reporter: "of course not," he told us. "he will build up his forces and attack again." ukraine's recent history, invaded and reinvaded by russia, may be a warning to anyone trying to negotiate with vladimir putin. >> maurice: and holly williams joins us now from lviv. holly, you've been there many times since the war began three years ago, most recently in january. what changes are you noticing? >> reporter: there's been anxiety here for months about what president trump might do, but many ukrainians feel as if their world has been turned upside down. because not only has the u.s. suspended the delivery of military aid, president trump called their elected president a dictator and then gave him a very public dressing down at the white house. >> john: holly, tomorrow zelenskyy is in saudi arabia for
6:46 pm
talks with the u.s. what are ukrainians hoping to get out of those conversations? >> reporter: well, zelenskyy stressed over the weekend that his country has always wanted peace. they never wanted the invasion in the first place. but going forward, ukraine doesn't want to be pressured into a cease-fire deal that rewards vladimir putin with territory and then allows him to invade all over again in a few years' time, because that has happened before, and to stop it happening again, ukraine wants security guarantees, including from the u.s. >> maurice: holly williams in lviv tonight. thanks so much. >> john: an ef2 tornado touched down today in central florida near orlando. it was on the ground for 5 minutes, tearing across two miles. >> maurice: one house collapsed, several others were damaged, but there are no reports of death or injury. lonnie quinn, are we looking at more tornadoes this week? >> maurice, there is a risk for tornadoes. i'm going to talk everything. all sorts of events all related to one system. it's the latest atmospheric river that's flowing into california.

>> john: if congress cannot agree on a spending bill by friday and the government is forced to shut down, it could have an impact on health care programs that benefit tens of thousands of people. the programs allow patients to get the medical treatment they need at home rather than in the hospital, but they rely on reimbursements from medicare and medicaid which could be disrupted. mark strassmann has tonight's "eye on america." >> reporter: what's old is new again in boston health care. >> hi there. >> reporter: house calls by nurse paramedic ben coburn. we tagged along as he treated james edwards, a 57-year-old patient with congestive heart failure, encouraged by the hospital to recover at home

6:53 pm
patient outcomes are at least as good? >> they're better. patients have lower 30-day readmissions, they have lower rates of complications, lower rates of mortality. >> i'm glad that you're feeling so much better. >> reporter: why is that? personal care in a familiar setting. and mind-body connection. dr. lauren doctoroff is treating frank storace for a urinary tract infection. >> if you feel more comfortable and are less anxious and are sleeping better, you're going to recover faster and better. >> reporter: the number one goal is to get better. >> absolutely. >> reporter: and have you? >> uh, yes. i'm probably better now than i was 20 years ago. >> reporter: critics such as national nurses united, america's largest union for registered nurses, raised concerns about continuity and quality of care and cost. but if congress lets medicare and medicaid payments for the program lapse, dorner says patient care could suffer. >> it's a critical part of the answer to overcrowding. >> we would much rather meet
