Chicago byen med USA’s strengeste våbenlovgivning

61 personer skudt i julen – 11 døde og 50 sårede.

Two girls, 13 and 14, were shot on the South Side as a violent Christmas weekend came to a close during one of the most violent years in Chicago in decades.

A total of 61 people were shot in the city during the holiday weekend and 11 of them died of their wounds, according to data kept by the Tribune. Seven people were killed on Christmas Day alone, more than on the holiday the past three years combined.

This past weekend’s toll pushed the total number of people shot in Chicago this year to more than 4,300 and the number of homicides to around 770. Last year, there were 2,989 shooting victims and 492 homicides.

Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said most of the weekend’s victims were targeted by gang members.

The Change Britain group said that leaving the EU properly including the single market and customs union – which

it describes as “clean Brexit” – is likely to deliver annual savings of almost £10.4 billion from contributions to the EU budget and £1.2 billion from scrapping “burdensome” regulations, while allowing the UK to forge new trade deals worth £12.3 billion.

The group said its estimate was “very conservative” and that the benefits of withdrawal from the single market and customs union could be as much as £38.6 billion a year.

Tjekkiets socialdemokratiske præsident vil ikke have muslimer i sit land

Den sosialdemokratiske tsjekkiske president Milos Zeman holdt i går kveld sin årlige juletale til det tsjekkiske folket.

«I dag er det nesten ingen tvil om sammenhengen mellom innvandringsbølgen og terrorangrep,» sa presidenten. Han understreket at han ikke hadde noen problemer med å ta imot innvandrere fra europeiske naboland, men han ville stenge grensen for innvandrere fra muslimske land.
