0:07.1	Hi, I'm Faith Pino, and you're listening to Headlines from L.A. Times Studios.
0:12.0	Here's some of today's top stories from the Los Angeles Times.
0:16.3	President Trump announced late Thursday night that he's ending all trade negotiations with
0:21.2	Canada, who's been slapped with double-digit tariffs on major exports.
0:26.2	According to reporters, Trump blamed a television ad paid for by the province of Ontario,

Officials say the goal is to improve safety and accountability and comes after men's central jail recorded 40 in-custody deaths this year alone, a number that's on track to break a nearly two-decade record. The county's inspector general says body cams will add a new layer
2:02.7	of transparency, capturing angles and audio that fixed cameras can't. But some civil rights groups
