We're still awaiting details on what may have led to yesterday's plane crash at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. A Delta Airlines plane arriving in Toronto from Minneapolis crashed while attempting to land and ended up rolling under its roof.

All 80 people on board survived and now the Canadian Transportation Safety Board is investigating. Nicole Williams has more. Drop it! Come on! A moment of terror caught on cell phone video as passengers scrambled to get out of an upside down plane that flipped after it crashed on the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

And then the next thing I know is kind of a blink and I'm upside down still strapped in. Pete Carlson was on the flight from Minneapolis to Toronto. As we made our descent and made touchdown all of a sudden everything just kind of went sideways. 18 people were taken to hospital for injuries including one child but airport CEO Deborah Flint confirms all 80 people on board alive. This is in due part to our heroic and trained professionals our first responders at the airport. For now still few answers. Pearson Fire Chief Todd Aiken.

The latest inflation numbers come out this morning with the Bank of Canada, the federal government and the financial sector all paying close attention. As we hear now from Georgie Smythe, this could be the last update before US tariffs take effect. Colleen Wiseman is the Academic Director for the Master of Food and Resource Economics program at the University of British Columbia. She says January's numbers are more important than usual, as US steel and aluminum tariffs, and maybe more, still hang over Canada.

This is the before, and we'll see what the after is. If these 25% tariffs come into place, this will be the benchmark, the marker for consumers to say, what is this really costing me? And a benchmark for general inflation and potential relief too. That will allow both the Bank of Canada and the governments at all levels to be very strategic, to see where those pain points are and what they can encourage for policies. Last month Canada's central bank lowered its interest rate to 3 percent but it also warned it could do little to totally offset the impact of US tariffs.

A final leaders debate of the Ontario provincialvincial Election Campaign is now in the books with the NDP, the Liberal and the Green Party leaders all taking a run last night for the last time at progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford. Lorenda Redacop has the highlights. With party leaders desperate to stand out, Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie levelled a personal attack on PC leader Doug Ford. You were raised privileged with a silver spoon in your mouth.

You didn't have to work for anything. You got a company handed to you, Doug, so you don't understand how expensive things are today. I bet you couldn't tell me what the cost of eggs are. Green Party leader Mike Schreiner hammered Ford on affordability and the PC government checks for all Ontarians. And it's not fair that Mr. Ford has handed out $200 checks to millionaires and billionaires like Galen Weston, the guy gouging you at the grocery store.

Ford's response? When we saw more revenue come up to the coffers, we believe that it goes back to the people to stimulate the economy. NDP leader Marit Stiles brought up her plan for a grocery rebate for low-income earners. They're going to get about a check for about $120 for a family of four back every month. The leaders have nine more days to make their case to voters before election day next Thursday. Lorena Bredecomp, CBC News, Toronto. Senior Russian and American officials met today in Saudi Arabia launching talks on improving

ties between the two countries and negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine. The meeting marks another pivotal step by the Trump administration to reverse U.S. policy on isolating Russia and paving the way for a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
