One year after a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, President Joe Biden will mark the grim anniversary by calling on Congress to help end the “epidemic” of gun violence nationwide, according to the White House.
One year after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, President Joe Biden will mark the grim anniversary by calling on Congress to help end the “epidemic” of gun violence nationwide, according to the White House.
Biden, joined by First Lady Jill Biden, will speak Wednesday afternoon to honor the victims of Texas’ deadliest school shooting, which came just days after a gunman killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. The bill also fell short of addressing some of the other issues that Biden, Democrats in Congress and other advocates have called for, including universal background checks and a ban on military style semi-automatic firearms.
Biden in March signed an executive order aimed at enhancing background checks for gun purchases, but has called on Congress repeatedly to do more to address the scourge of gun violence.

Red Sea epidemic kills off sea urchins, imperilling coralA deadly epidemic that is spreading through the Red Sea has killed off an entire species of sea urchin in the Gulf of Aqaba, imperilling the region's uniquely resilient coral reefs, an Israeli research team has found. The whole population of black sea urchins, a species known for helping keep coral reefs healthy in the waters also known as the Gulf of Eilat, was wiped out over a couple months, according to a team from Tel Aviv University. The probable culprit is a disease-causing ciliate parasite that brings with it a fast death - perhaps the same one that has wreaked havoc on sea urchin populations in the Caribbean.
