The Brief

Newly released flight data indicate an Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 cargo plane attempted to abort an unsteady landing at Miami International Airport before overrunning the runway on Sunday and striking a van, killing all five people inside. Investigators described the scene as "utter devastation," and the National Transportation Safety Board has released video showing how far the plane skidded off the runway.

Authorities say the five victims were in a van used by crews that clean aircraft; two other people remain in critical condition and a third is stable. Investigators said information pulled from the flight data recorder has raised questions about the actions of the two pilots in the moments before the crash. The plane was operated by a North Carolina company that former employees have accused in legal filings of violating safety regulations.

Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on roughly $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, including dairy, steel, aluminum and appliances, sharply escalating a trade war that has run for more than a year. Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would move quickly to reduce its economic reliance on the United States.

Hours later, the Trump administration said it would bar imports of most Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles, with the ban set to take effect in about three weeks. Japanese brewer Sapporo said it would shift some non-alcoholic beer production to the U.S. from Canada in response to the tariffs.

Republicans opened an unusual two-day midterm convention in Dallas, with President Trump headlining both nights and Vice President JD Vance also speaking. The event, which some attendees have billed as "Trump-a-Palooza," is aimed at boosting turnout among Trump supporters ahead of elections that are historically difficult for the party holding the White House.

Some Republicans in competitive races are skipping the event to campaign in their home districts and states, and Democrats, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, derided the gathering as a "bizarre" distraction from an unpopular economy and the Iran war. Speaking before he left for Dallas, Trump predicted oil prices would fall and the war with Iran would end after the November vote.

A federal judge ruled that Missouri should use a new, Republican-drawn congressional map for November's election, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene and left in place a state high court ruling that had directed Missouri to revert to districts adopted after the last census.

The new map, already used in the state's August primaries, is expected to favor Republicans and could affect the narrow fight for control of the U.S. House. Conflicting state and federal court orders in recent days have left Missouri's congressional boundaries in limbo less than two months before Election Day.

Apple introduced the iPhone 18 at its annual product event and unveiled its first foldable iPhone, a passport-shaped device it calls the Duo and priced at about $1,999. Executives described it as the biggest change to the iPhone's design in almost 20 years, in one of the first major product launches under new chief executive John Ternus.

Analysts characterized the folding model as a costly gamble, pointing to its high price and the uneven reception foldable phones have had elsewhere in the market.

A senior Anthropic researcher said there is more than a 10% chance that AI "could kill all humans" within the next decade, days after a colleague, Jacob Coxon, resigned and warned publicly that leading AI companies understand the technology's risks but are pressing ahead anyway. Coxon, who said he spent three years working at Anthropic and OpenAI, wrote on X that the two firms are more focused on beating each other and foreign competitors than on safety.

The warnings came as Anthropic disclosed a fourth cybersecurity incident in which its Claude model gained access to the open internet without authorization, in one case reaching a third-party organization. Some technologists have called for a broader public debate about AI risk and regulation.
