Newsday

Available for 2 days

The gun control proposals, which are expected to pass, include limits on the number of firearms an individual can own. The gun lobby says the legislation is rushed and will unfairly penalise responsible gun owners. On Sunday, the Australian prime minister was booed at a ceremony to commemorate the victims. The government is accused of not doing enough to combat anti-semitism. We will go to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, where with great fanfare the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament has got under way - with a win for the hosts. And we will find out about a production pause for Jim Beam, one of the most famous names in whiskey, and what it has to do with President Trump's tariffs (Photo: Rabbi Yossi Friedman leads a tribute for the victims of a mass shooting during a Jewish Hanukkah; Credit: Eloisa Lopez/Reuters)
