What caused the Amazon cargo jet to crash at Miami International Airport?
Live from MPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. Federal investigators are looking into why an Amazon cargo jet ran off a runway at Miami International Airport. The crash happened Sunday. Five people were killed. MPR Shen Chantalist Duster reports on what National Transportation Safety Board officials are saying.
NTSB chair Jennifer Hamidi said the plane landed and then left the runway. The plane first hit a van owned by a cleaning company that services the airport. We learned that there were seven people inside. She said the van was torn apart. The plane also hit an SUV mangling the vehicle, but it's still an active recovery scene.
The NTSB says the plane's flight recorders have been recovered and that investigators are focusing on whether the plane touched down too late to stop safely. Canada's retaliatory tariffs are now in effect.
How are Canada’s new retaliatory tariffs affecting U.S. imports?
They impose import taxes on about twenty billion dollars worth of US goods, including steel, aluminum and cheese. Canada says its tariffs match the taxes President Trump imposed dollar for dollar and rate for rate. Other countries are watching to see what happens. A century ago, labor unions fought for eight hour days and a forty hour work week. Today they find themselves confronting AI. And Pierre's Andrea Schu reports it's a complicated for movement made up of all kinds of workers.
With AI on the rise, labor leaders have been calling for guardrails. They want more transparency into how companies are using AI and more say in what that's going to mean for workers. At the same time, some building trades unions have welcomed the growth of AI, and specifically the boom in data centers. Don Sleyman is with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, local 26. He says his members are flushed with. work.
What concerns do labor unions have about AI and how are they responding?
We haven't seen this kind of growth for skilled tradespeople in generations. The union has called on its members to ask their elected officials to oppose any moratoriums on data centers. Local leaders have increasingly issued pauses on new construction as community concerns have soared. And reissue and PR News.
Food giant Campbell's company cutting costs and raising prices, and Pierre Zalina Selyuk explains why.
Campbell's has been one of the food companies in pretty rough shape. Its sales dropped 8% in the latest quarter, especially on snacks. Its big brands include goldfish, kettle chips, Milano cookies, and Snyder's pretzels. Shoppers have tightened their snacking budgets, and uh they're not reaching for the name brands as often. Campbell's forecasting of a drop in sales for the full year sent its shares tumbling down. The company is cutting costs by closing two snack plants and laying off thirteen percent of its salaried workers. It's also slashing the dividend it pays to shareholders, and it's raised prices up by four to five percent across nearly two-thirds of its products, hoping for a financial boost even if people buy fewer of Campbell's offerings.

Why is Campbell’s cutting costs, laying off workers, and raising prices?
It's not clear when the search for a small plane that's gone missing will resume. Police in the Bahamas say the search has been suspended because of bad weather. The US Coast Guard and Bahamian authorities say the plane carrying four family members back home to Florida went missing on Monday. Amid President Trump's push for control of Greenland, the European Union is promising a stronger partnership and hundreds of millions of euros in investment. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Greenland on Sunday for a two day visit, saying Greenland's future is for its people and Denmark to decide. The long Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer and the start to school around the country, and Pierre Strenaki Meta visited an elementary school in Los Angeles.
Get ready though and welcome.
