0:00:29 > 0:00:30hours of this morning.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Here's how.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37This is the moment Dom Parsons won a dramatic bronze medal

0:00:37 > 0:00:39in the men's skeleton at the Olympic Sliding

0:00:39 > 0:00:43Centre in Pyeongchang.

0:00:43 > 0:00:50Yep, this is Great Britain's first in the games.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Starting his final run in third place, Dom thought he had blown it,

0:00:54 > 0:00:57and lost out on a chance to pick up a medal, when he slipped behind

0:00:57 > 0:01:02Russia's Nikita Tregubov with two races still to go.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05But Latvian Martins Dukurs lost time on the lower part of the course

0:01:05 > 0:01:10to hand Parsons a bronze with just 0.11 seconds on it.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14That's close!

0:01:14 > 0:01:15COMMENTATOR:He has his medal!

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Come on, Great Britain!

0:01:16 > 0:01:18I thought I'd lost it, after that second round.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Well, fourth round.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Your heart sank?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25I looked up at the time, I made a couple too many

0:01:25 > 0:01:30mistakes in that run.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33But Martins made some more mistakes, and he's the last person I thought

0:01:33 > 0:01:34would make those mistakes.

0:01:34 > 0:01:42This is Great Britain's first medal in the men's skeleton since 1948.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well done, Dom.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Sad news from America next, where tributes have been

0:01:50 > 0:01:52being paid after a serious gun attack on Wednesday.

0:01:52 > 0:01:58It happened in a school in Florida.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Attacks like these don't tend to happen in other

0:02:00 > 0:02:03countries like the UK, so it's got some people asking

0:02:03 > 0:02:06why America's attitude to guns is different.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09In America, it's not unusual for people to own a gun.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Many Americans see only one is an important

0:02:11 > 0:02:13part of who they are.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15That's because when the USA was founded, the right to buy

0:02:15 > 0:02:19and carry a gun was written into the constitution.

0:02:19 > 0:02:26That's a list of basic rules that country is based on.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29But Americans disagree about what this rule should mean today.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Some people think that it means there should be no controls,

0:02:32 > 0:02:35and that people should be able to buy and carry whatever gun

0:02:35 > 0:02:39they want whenever they want.

0:02:39 > 0:02:47But others think there should be controls on what type

0:02:48 > 0:02:49of gun you can

0:02:49 > 0:02:51own, and want the most powerful

0:02:51 > 0:02:52guns to be banned.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54And now there's been another gun attack, and sadly

0:02:54 > 0:02:5517 people have died.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58The attack took place in the city of Parkland in the state

0:02:58 > 0:02:59of Florida here in the US.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02And shortly after the attack, police were able to capture

0:03:02 > 0:03:04and arrest the man they believe was behind the shooting.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07It's the sixth school shooting in the US this year alone,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10and it has people once again asking what can be done to deal with gun

0:03:10 > 0:03:12violence here in the US.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13For every 100 people in the United States,

0:03:13 > 0:03:17there are 90 guns, and to put that into perspective, in England

0:03:17 > 0:03:21and Wales, for every 100 people, there are just six guns.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Attacks like this one don't tend to happen here in the UK,

0:03:23 > 0:03:30where the rules are tougher.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33In the US, there's no sign that they'll be able to agree

0:03:33 > 0:03:37on what to do about it.
