First today to the sad news from Orlando in the US | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
where an attack happened at the weekend. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
President Obama has said he will visit the area | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Cities around the world, including London, Brussels, | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Glasgow and many more have been holding tributes to show they care. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
The attack in the early hours of Sunday morning | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
was the worst mass shooting in recent US history. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Some people think rules around guns are to blame. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Today marks the most deadly shooting in American history. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
This massacre is a further reminder of how easy it is for someone | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
a place of worship, or a movie theatre or in a nightclub. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
And we need to decide if that's the country we want to be. | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
That's the American President, Barack Obama, | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
speaking after an attack in Orlando in the early hours of Sunday morning | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
that killed 49 people and injured many more. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
It's not the first time he's spoken about the need for gun control. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
He's repeatedly made speeches like this every time there's been | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
That's because masss shootings are a big problem in America. | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
For every 100 people in the United States, | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
there are around 90 guns - compared to only 6 for every 100 | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
In America, it's relatively easy to get a gun if you're over 18. | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
The rules are much tougher in the UK. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
The right to what's known as "keep and bear arms" was written | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
into American law within years of the country being | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Back then, America didn't have a well-established army | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
and people felt it was important to have the right to carry a weapon | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
to keep order or in case the country was attacked. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
the United States is a very different place | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
but many people there still see the right to own a gun | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
as an important part of being American - | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
and as a way of protecting themselves. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
They argue that it's not the law that's at fault, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
but a small number of people who use guns in the wrong way. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
But others disagree and want the law to change, | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
saying that if fewer people had access to guns, | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
President Obama wants it to be much harder to buy a gun | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
and wants tougher background checks | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
and police to assess if a person is suitable to own the weapon. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
But with such fierce opinions on both sides, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
it will be difficult to make any changes. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
Remember, if anything you see in the news upsets you, | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Now get ready for a spot of sun, sea and sand | :02:57. | :03:10. | |
Now, there are just nine days to go before a big vote on the European | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Union that will affect all of our lives to come. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Welcome to the Spanish sun cost, the Costa Del Sol. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
It's one of Europe's holiday hotspots, | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
and lots of British families live here. | :03:25. | :03:25. | |
But next week's vote on whether we stay in | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
or leave the European Union could affect their lives, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
and your summer holidays in the future. | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
For many of us, Spain is a place we like to come to on our holidays. | :03:32. | :03:49. | |
But thousands of people from the UK have moved to live here | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
More than 1 million British people | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
live in other EU countries as well. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
It is wonderful living in Spain | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
because of the wildlife and the hot weather. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
You can go to the beach any time you want. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
The music, the dance, the celebrations we have here, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
The European Union is a bit like a club | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
It is made up of 28 countries, who all have an agreement to make life | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
as easy as possible for those that want to travel, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
And now there is a vote called a referendum | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
on whether the UK should stay in or leave that club. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
And people are now asking what that might mean | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
for the Brits that live in other EU countries. | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
Those who want to stay in the European Union | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
say it is easier to travel, live and work in countries | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Well, those that want to leave the EU | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
say Brits living abroad would still be allowed | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
to stay, and holidays to EU countries would not be affected. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
So what do kids from the UK who live here | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
think the vote will mean for them? | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
I think if we leave it will be a bit harder for my parents | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
to do their job, because I have lived here for six years | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
My dad might have to get a visa to go back to England and | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
work here at the same time and it might just be a bit chaotic | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
The community, with Europe and the UK, is very unique | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
and I think we should keep it that way. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
I think it will also affect the friends travelling to Spain | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
it might make it a bit harder for them. | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
To be honest, I am not really too fussed about it | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
because it doesn't affect me too much. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
As long as everything is fine at the end of the day, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
everyone is happy, then to be honest I don't really mind. | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
