BBC World Service - BBC OS, US Supreme Court reverses New York gun law

The US Supreme Court has struck down a New York law restricting gun carrying rights

The US Supreme Court has struck down a New York law restricting gun carrying rights.

We get reaction to the decision by the US Supreme Court to reverse a New York law restricting gun carrying rights. The law required residents who want a license to prove "proper cause" to carry concealed weapons and that they faced "a special or unique" danger. The 6-3 decision stated the requirement violates the Constitutional right to bear arms.

Doctors in Afghanistan believe there are many children among the hundreds of people who lost their lives in Wednesday’s earthquake. We get an update on the rescue operation and speak to volunteers who are rushing to reach the remote disaster area. 

Ukraine is set to be approved as an EU candidate at a summit in Brussels today. We ask Ukrainians why they support the membership, and explain how the process to join the European Union works.
