A crushing day for stock markets around the world, and it's all due to one thing:  the tariffs announced on all goods entering the United States. Some analysts are now using the word recession, and with fears that prices will be going way up some Americans have started panic buying. However, the message from the White House is "trust in President Trump." And world leaders are reacting to the tariff's including the prime minister of Australia who says quote 'nowhere on earth is safe'…and that apparently includes an island where the only inhabitants are penguins. Plus, this sports reporter in New Orleans covering the Super Bowl was found dead in his hotel room.  Authorities say it was a robbery turned deadly after a woman he met at a bar drugged him. These three men tell Inside Edition they too were preyed upon by the same woman dubbed the "Bourbon Street hustler"...and they are pleading with other potentially embarrassed victims to come forward. And it's the story that shocked the nation - two young children dying in separate incidents - both while under the watch of their grandmother. Today it was sentencing day and the mother of the children delivered an excruciating victims statement against her own mother.  The grandmother was not charged in the earlier death of the toddler in the pond because prosecutors determined it was a one-time lapse in judgement.
