Description
A Japan Airlines jet has erupted into flames after colliding with a coast guard plane at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, killing five people on board the latter aircraft. Everyone on the passenger plane survived. How some of those passengers are describing their frightening and fiery ordeal. That coast guard aircraft was carrying aid meant for victims of the earthquake that struck a day earlier. The desperate search for survivors trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings; and what Japan has done that helped prevent the situation from being worse, according to earthquake experts. Saleh al-Arouri, the second-in-command of Hamas' political bureau, has been killed in an apparent Israeli drone strike in Beirut. His reputation, and the potential acts of revenge for his death. Canada's 100 highest-paid CEOs made an average of more than $7,000 an hour in 2022, breaking pay gap records between them and the average Canadian worker, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The frustrations about the rich getting richer, and how a fraction of their income is from a regular paycheque. And Peter Magubane, a fearless photographer who documented racial segregation in South Africa'a apartheid era for 40 years, has died at the age of 91. The impact of his work, and how he captured Nelson Mandela's first years of freedom after the former South African president's release from prison.
