01:53From ABC News World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight with David Muir.
02:03Good evening. Thanks for joining us on this Thursday night. I'm Whit Johnson in for David.
02:07And we begin tonight with President Trump's sweeping new tariffs that took effect at midnight,
02:12highest tariffs in nearly a century on dozens of countries, almost every U.S. trading partner.
02:17American business owners and consumers now bracing for the effects.
02:21In the Oval Office today, the president touting the economy under his presidency,
02:25and the White House insisting the tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing.
02:29But tariffs are beginning to put a drag on business earnings from Caterpillar to Black & Decker to Hershey,
02:35and that's bringing down stocks. The Dow closing down 224 points.
02:39And for everyday Americans, tariffs could cost the average household $2,400 a year, according to economists.
02:46The price of imported produce could rise 7 percent.
02:49A new car could jump almost $6,000.
02:52NBC's chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce, leads us off.
02:56Tonight, American business owners and consumers bracing for impact,
03:00as President Trump's tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner snapped into place,
03:05the highest tariffs in nearly 100 years.
03:09The president posting, it's midnight.
03:11Billions of dollars in tariffs are now flowing into the United States of America.
03:16Those new tariffs ranging from 10 to a staggering 50 percent.
03:20Brazil market.
03:21Leaving small business owners like Murcia Campos,
03:24who owns the Brazil market and butcher shop in Marietta, Georgia, scrambling.
03:28It's pretty scary. I'm not going to lie. I am a little bit apprehensive what the next steps will be.
03:35I've been making transitions.
03:37Craig Battori owns Craig's Coffee in Detroit. He says he has no choice but to pass along higher prices to his consumers.
03:44I was absorbing that cost at first, but now I'm actually increasing prices and slowly moving those costs to my customers.
03:53The tariffs are paid by companies importing products, but economists warn these costs will likely be passed on to consumers.
04:01Americans could pay more for everything from electronics and toys to clothing and furniture.
04:06Fresh produce prices are expected to rise 7 percent.
04:10The average price of a new car could jump by $5,800 in the short run.
04:15By one estimate, the tariffs could cost the average household $2,400 a year.
04:20While it could take time for families to feel the effects,
04:23tonight, companies worldwide are already reporting record losses because of the tariffs.
04:28Japan-based Toyota says it expects a $9.5 billion hit to its profits from the U.S. tariffs.
04:35And American cosmetics company Elf Beauty reporting their profits fell 30 percent as new tariffs on Chinese imports took effect.
04:43But the president, adamant his tariffs will boost manufacturing in the U.S.
04:48Under the Trump administration, we're doing everything possible to make this the best place on earth to build a factory or grow businesses.
04:57So let's get right to Mary Bruce at the White House.
04:59And Mary, beyond the tariffs today, the president also announcing major changes to Americans' 401 retirement plans.
05:06Yeah, Witt, millions of Americans saving for retirement through a 401k could soon have the option of investing their money in private equity and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
05:16Of course, many of the top cryptocurrency firms invested heavily in President Trump's campaign and his own family's crypto ventures could stand to benefit from this.
05:25Witt.
05:27Now to the mid-air scare on a transatlantic flight.
05:29A passenger's mobile charger sparking a fire.
05:32The crew racing to put it out in the dramatic new video just coming in tonight.
05:37Here's ABC's Mola Lange.
05:38Tonight, panic and chaos over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean after a fire erupted on a KLM flight from Sao Paulo to Amsterdam.
05:47Brazilian officials say it was sparked by a passenger's mobile charger.
05:50You can hear frantic passengers as crew members rushed to try to extinguish the fire as smoke filled the cabin, some on board covering their faces with pillows and towels to protect themselves.
06:01The crew finally able to put out the fire and that flight touching down in Amsterdam as planned.
06:09Relieved passengers breaking out in applause as they landed.
06:13And, Witt, if you ever wonder why airlines always ask passengers to remove and to keep their lithium batteries with them in the cabin and not in their checked luggage, well, this is why.
06:23Witt.
06:24An important reminder, Mola Lange, thank you.
06:26We move now to the deadly crash of a helicopter into a barge on the Mississippi River.
06:31At least two people killed.
06:32Part of the river and a nearby bridge temporarily shut down.
06:36Here's ABC's Morgan Norwood.
06:38Tonight, two people are dead after authorities say this helicopter clipped a power line and crashed into a barge on the Mississippi River, north of St. Louis.
06:47It's exploding right now. It's exploding right now.
06:51The chopper catching fire, smoke billowing into the sky.
06:54The Coast Guard received a report of a helicopter crashing and landing on a barge.
06:58All vessels requested to maintain a sharp lookout assist if possible.
07:01All of a sudden it touched the line and in two seconds it wasn't a helicopter anymore, it was a thousand pieces.
07:06The crash happening around 11 a.m. prompting a massive response.
07:10Officials shutting down river traffic and closing part of the nearby Lewis and Clark Bridge.
07:15There are hazardous materials including propane on the barge and electrical lines in the water.
07:22Officials evacuating the immediate area.
07:24A local electrical contractor confirming to ABC News the helicopter was assisting with repairs to a tower when the crash happened.
07:32And Witt, the NTSB says it is now investigating. The electrical contractor is cooperating.
07:38Authorities say no one was injured on the barge during that crash.
07:41Witt?
07:42Morgan Norwood for us tonight, thank you.
07:44Now to northeastern Pennsylvania.
07:46Two state troopers ambushed and both wounded while responding to a call.
07:51One trooper applying a tourniquet to another.

07:55Here's ABC's chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katursky.
07:59Tonight two state troopers ambushed and shot in northeastern Pennsylvania.
08:05State row 1171 at Townsend Township.
08:08Stage off to the scene, multiple gunshot victims.
08:12It happened just after 11 a.m. in Susquehanna County when the troopers responded to a woman's call for help during a domestic dispute and they immediately came under fire.
08:20Upon their arrival, they were immediately fired upon and ambushed.
08:23They are very lucky to be alive.
08:25Troopers Joseph Perchinski and William Jenkins were airlifted to the hospital after a man shot at them with a rifle.
08:31Perchinski put a tourniquet on his partner who officials say was shot in the chest and back.
08:36Tonight the governor praising the troopers actions.
08:39He acted decisively.
08:41He acted thoughtfully.
08:42And the work he did today exemplifies the absolute best of the Pennsylvania State Police.
08:49When the gunfire stopped, police said the woman and the armed suspect were both found dead.
08:54And we've just learned Witt, an EMS worker, was also injured in the chaos tonight.
09:01Those two troopers are stable.
09:03The governor lauding them for running toward danger.
09:06Eric Gaturski, thank you.
09:0924 hours after that mass shooting at Fort Stewart in Georgia,
09:12the Army honoring six soldiers for their heroic actions during the attack.
09:17All of them were unarmed.
09:18The Army Secretary saying their fast action absolutely saved lives from being lost.
09:23ABC's Faith Abube reporting from Fort Stewart tonight.
09:26At Fort Stewart today, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll honoring the men and women who jumped into action to save lives.
09:35When investigators say a fellow soldier opened fire on the base, wounding five of their own.
09:41They were unarmed and ran at and tackled an armed person who they knew was actively shooting their buddies, their colleagues, their fellow soldiers.
09:49Sergeant Turner exhibited extraordinary courage.
09:52The Army Secretary embracing Sergeant Aaron Turner, who confronted and disarmed the accused shooter.
09:5728-year-old Sergeant Cornelius Radford seen here being transferred to jail after his arrest.
10:03Sergeant Turner saying Radford claimed he wasn't going to hurt fellow soldiers and that he was focused on leadership.
10:09He's not going to end up hurting any of the soldiers.
10:11He's pretty much dealing with leadership.
10:13He was dealing with leadership and he wanted to go home.
10:15Yeah.
10:16Turner says he grabbed the suspect and disarmed the gun and with the help of another soldier stopped him from reloading.
10:22Was there a struggle?
10:23Yes, the whole time through.
10:25He was fighting back?
10:26Yeah, we were trying to hold it.
10:28Other soldiers ran toward the gunfire to treat the wounded.
10:32I'd look up and the soldier saying I got shot, I got shot, I got shot.
10:37Immediately put the soldier on the ground, got the top off, rendered aid, tried to stop bleeding.
10:42And we just kept him stable until the ambulance got there.
10:45Tonight, the Army says they're continuing their investigation into Radford and how he allegedly got a personal gun inside Fort Stewart.
10:53Sergeant Turner says he saw no warning signs.
10:56Did you consider him a friend?
10:58As far as the interactions, never seen anything wrong with him.
11:03He's always a happy-go-lucky guy.
11:05And Whit Army investigators are drawing up charges against the accused shooter.
11:09He's likely to be transferred into a military facility.
11:12Meantime, two of the victims remain in the hospital, but all five of them are expected to make a full recovery.
11:18Whit.
11:19Encouraging news there.
11:20Faith Abube, thank you.
11:21Next tonight, a major escalation in the war in Gaza.
11:24Prime Minister Netanyahu saying Israel intends to take control of all of Gaza temporarily and eventually transfer control of it to Arab forces.
11:32ABC's chief foreign correspondent Ian Pannell joins us now from Israel.
11:36And Ian, what could these comments mean for ceasefire negotiations and the remaining hostages?
11:41Yeah, well, this is a significant and controversial decision and it flies in the face of international and domestic opposition.
11:49Expanding the war to occupy all of Gaza ends any short-term hopes of a ceasefire.
11:54And it means hundreds of thousands of people being forcibly relocated in the midst of what most concede is a humanitarian crisis.
12:01Military leaders fear it could take months and risks Israeli forces becoming bogged down with no clear exit strategy.
12:09There have been widespread demonstrations here in Israel against the plans this evening.
12:13And the families of the hostages still being held in Gaza, condemning the move, saying it'll endanger the lives of their loved ones.

12:33Late today, President Trump saying it does not need to include President Zelensky.
12:38So let's get right to chief foreign affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz.
12:41And Martha, what more are you learning tonight?
12:43Well, Whit, President Trump had wanted a summit together with Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's President Zelensky.
12:49But tonight, President Trump is saying he is now open to a one-on-one meeting with Putin.
12:55Putin made clear today that a meeting with Zelensky is off the table for now, saying that conditions for that are still far away.
13:03Trump had threatened to hit Russia with new sanctions tomorrow if a ceasefire was not reached.
13:09Asked tonight if that deadline still holds.
13:11The president said that will be up to Putin.
13:14The Russians have suggested the meeting will take place soon in the coming days.
13:19Putin saying it could be held in the UAE.
13:22Whit.

14:44With here at Palm Springs Airport, the airlines can only send planes that can handle the heat, and it's 117 outside.
14:51The asphalt is 163 degrees.
14:54That is simply too hot for some airplanes to handle.
