President Biden’s new action on guns

President Biden signed a gun control executive order on Tuesday, with the main goal of strengthening background checks. But the move also highlights the limits of his power on this issue. Plus, the EPA proposes new limits for cancer-causing chemicals in our drinking water. And, a Russian jet collides with a U.S. drone over the Black Sea.
