An Air Canada flight has collided with a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport, killing two young pilots. Jackson Proskow reports from the scene and has the radio transmissions from panicked air traffic controllers; Mike Armstrong tells you about the flight attendant who survived the crash after being ejected from the plane; and Touria Izri looks at the questions being asked in the investigation.

He claims Iran wants to make a deal, but as Redmond Shannon explains, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf calls that "fake news." Back in Canada, Jillian Piper looks at how Auditor General Karen Hogan is highlighting the federal government's failures to investigate foreign student fraud. David Akin reports on how the Supreme Court is starting to hear a landmark challenge of Bill 21, Quebec's controversial secularism law. Plus, the power of love and the power of Céline Dion.
