Obama adresses church shooting, points to gun control

US President Barack Obama says the American people need to "come to grips" with the fact that mass shootings like Wednesday's killing at a church in South Carolina do not happen in other countries - and he pointed to lax gun control as a cause.

Late Wednesday night, white 21 year old Dylann Roof allegedly opened fire in the traditionally African-American Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine people.

He has since been taken into custody.

Roof reportedly gave a racist speech before he began shooting.

The President said the country needs to shift how it thinks about gun violence and that, despite political roadblocks, it is possible to take action to change the frequency of mass killings in the US.

Eurogroup Chair says Greece progress has been slow


With less than a fortnight before Greece's bailout deal expires, EU Finance ministers meeting in Luxembourg are holding talks to find a solution for the country.


Athens and its creditors have been in a stand-off over the terms of a debt deal, with neither side having been prepared to back down.


Officials are playing down this meeting as being a make-or-break moment for Greece and expectations that a deal can be reached are low.


Chair of the Eurogroup, one of Greece's international creditors, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, says any solution must be credible

Greece says it will present new proposals to creditors in Luxembourg

The Greek Finance Minster Yannis Varoufakis has arrived in Luxembourg for talks with his EU counterparts, in what has been seen as a last ditch attempt to secure a debt deal for Athens.


Four months of discussions have yet to break the stand-off between Greece and its creditors, with Athens saying it will not accept harsh austerity measures.


But Greece has less than two weeks to unlock bailout funds, or risks defaulting on an IMF repayment which could lead to a possible exit from the eurozone.


Finance Minister Yannis Varoufakis has previously said that Greece has a moral and political obligation to come up with a deal agreed by both sides, and reiterated that sentiment in Luxembourg saying he intends on bringing fresh proposals to the table.
