First today to the sad news from Orlando in the US

where an attack happened at the weekend.

President Obama has said he will visit the area

Cities around the world, including London, Brussels,

Glasgow and many more have been holding tributes to show they care.

The attack in the early hours of Sunday morning

was the worst mass shooting in recent US history.

Some people think rules around guns are to blame.

Today marks the most deadly shooting in American history.

This massacre is a further reminder of how easy it is for someone

to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school,

a place of worship, or a movie theatre or in a nightclub.

And we need to decide if that's the country we want to be.

That's the American President, Barack Obama,

speaking after an attack in Orlando in the early hours of Sunday morning

that killed 49 people and injured many more.

It's not the first time he's spoken about the need for gun control.

He's repeatedly made speeches like this every time there's been

That's because masss shootings are a big problem in America.

For every 100 people in the United States,

there are around 90 guns - compared to only 6 for every 100

In America, it's relatively easy to get a gun if you're over 18.

The rules are much tougher in the UK.

The right to what's known as "keep and bear arms" was written

into American law within years of the country being

Back then, America didn't have a well-established army

and people felt it was important to have the right to carry a weapon

to keep order or in case the country was attacked.

the United States is a very different place

but many people there still see the right to own a gun

as an important part of being American -

and as a way of protecting themselves.

They argue that it's not the law that's at fault,

but a small number of people who use guns in the wrong way.

But others disagree and want the law to change,

saying that if fewer people had access to guns,

President Obama wants it to be much harder to buy a gun

and wants tougher background checks

and police to assess if a person is suitable to own the weapon.

But with such fierce opinions on both sides,

it will be difficult to make any changes.

Remember, if anything you see in the news upsets you,

Now get ready for a spot of sun, sea and sand

Now, there are just nine days to go before a big vote on the European

Union that will affect all of our lives to come.

Welcome to the Spanish sun cost, the Costa Del Sol.

It's one of Europe's holiday hotspots,

and lots of British families live here.

But next week's vote on whether we stay in

or leave the European Union could affect their lives,

and your summer holidays in the future.

For many of us, Spain is a place we like to come to on our holidays.

But thousands of people from the UK have moved to live here

More than 1 million British people

live in other EU countries as well.

It is wonderful living in Spain

because of the wildlife and the hot weather.

You can go to the beach any time you want.

The music, the dance, the celebrations we have here,

The European Union is a bit like a club

It is made up of 28 countries, who all have an agreement to make life

as easy as possible for those that want to travel,

And now there is a vote called a referendum

on whether the UK should stay in or leave that club.

And people are now asking what that might mean

for the Brits that live in other EU countries.

Those who want to stay in the European Union

say it is easier to travel, live and work in countries

Well, those that want to leave the EU

say Brits living abroad would still be allowed

to stay, and holidays to EU countries would not be affected.

So what do kids from the UK who live here

think the vote will mean for them?

I think if we leave it will be a bit harder for my parents

to do their job, because I have lived here for six years

My dad might have to get a visa to go back to England and

work here at the same time and it might just be a bit chaotic

The community, with Europe and the UK, is very unique

and I think we should keep it that way.

I think it will also affect the friends travelling to Spain

it might make it a bit harder for them.

To be honest, I am not really too fussed about it

because it doesn't affect me too much.

As long as everything is fine at the end of the day,

everyone is happy, then to be honest I don't really mind.
