"the faa's diversity push includes focus on hiring people that is amazing. and they want them in, and they want them — they can be air traffic controllers. i don't think so. policies in the government. i asked him what he made of trump saying that when he made those comments, no—one had found any evidence responsible for the crash. because i think he probably understood that the media was going to focus on this in the immediate aftermath of the crash and then would move on to other

donald trump has said he will also impose tariffs on the eu to try to rebalance trade. uk end of this week. and most importantly we don't know whether this is a limited action just focused on these world and the uk and europe, for example. let's speak to candace laing — president and ceo, canadian chamber of commerce. thank you very much for your time here on bbc news. we heard from some in ontario from some people in ontario there in that report and their concerns. you described tariffs as thsse incoming tariffs ss disturbing. thsse incoming tariffs as disturbing. can you profoundly disturbing. can you tell me what you are most tsttms ghatgso ars'msst' "*' * "w concerned about? 5572—2 four leadinu concerned about? 5572—2 four leadin: u- concerned about? 5572—2 - four leading up to think four months leading up to the business 77 " "f'r'wit’h’ w ' 77 " ' rrwithwhat ' 7 with what we 77 " ' rrwithiwhatwe might n n ”7 v rvwitii'twitatr we might be concerned with what we might be facing and as of yesterday absolutely all canadians are just. i think. feeling just, i think, why,

the president has also warned the eu and the uk that they could also face tariffs.triggered a global sell off. not a great day to be ringing the bell, but that is a bank based in new york. they are celebrating black history month. they have branches along the east coast, and the bank is honoring some of its black employees and executives. now, as we take a live look at the numbers, the numbers have certainly come back quite a bit since that opening bell rang. the dow jones immediately dropped about 500 points. now down 150 points. the nasdaq was down about 600. excuse me, 400 points. it's now cut that in half. down a little less than 200 points. overseas though the market indexes in london, germany, japan and asia pacific are all down one and a half to 2% this morning amid this uncertainty. we are breaking down some of the products that could see a price increase with the new tariffs on canada, mexico and china if they are imposed. roughly one third of all u.s. imports come from the three countries that are targeted in the tariffs set to take effect. they include so
