Mass shootings in the US: The impossible reform of gun legislation
Meanwhile, the first round of Colombia's presidential election saw a big win for leftist candidate Gustavo Petro. The senator is the former mayor of Bogota and was a member of the M-19 guerrilla group in his youth. If he wins, he would be the first left-wing president in Colombia's history. In the second round run-off, he will face off against Rodolfo Hernandez. The conservative businessman is known as the "king of TikTok" and could give Petro a run for his money.
Finally, K-pop sensations BTS met the US president at the White House this week. The South Korean boy band was not just in Washington on a fan stop to say hello to Joe Biden and his team. The group was also there for talks on the growing wave of hate crimes targeting Asian Americans.
