world. and of course, strategic competition and all the nations of this region are seeking to navigate. although nations are seeking to navigate those challenges and we do it based when we can do it together and then see purchase strategies taken. that c approach at the pacific on form is taking and that is why pacific for immunity is so important . wade hey, has more from murphy's capital, suv of this meeting all the pacific islands form as seen as is perhaps the most important one and a very long time. partly because it's the 1st time that the leaders have been able to come together face to face, to meet in 3 years because of the coven 19 pandemic. and also it's crucial because of all those. dia, geopolitical tensions that are ongoing at the moment. and then we have kid abbas and their decision to withdraw seemingly at the last minute. but this is a problem that's been going on for a long time. in fact, we go back to the beginning of last year when the 5 micronesia countries that are members of the pacific islands form including kit abbas signal that they were going

to leave this pacific islands grouping for a couple of reasons. but mainly because they were unhappy with that election process that took place to find a new secretary general of the pacific islands forum. they felt that there was an, an agreement in place that would allow for the new leader to come from one of those micronesia countries. instead, after a hotly contested vote, i had went to henry puna of the cook island so that clearly that is an issue that has been bubbling away for the last, almost 2 years. he was present, joe biden says he's determined to band a sole weapons. they're often used in mass shootings while spitting out a white house event. he said the u. s. is a wash with weapons of war. it was to celebrate a new cross party law aimed at reducing gun violence. the legislation gradually toughened requirements for young people to buy firearms. busy denying weapons to domestic abuses and the high number must shootings in the us. this year has

prompted several states including new jersey to impose restrictive gun laws is accused. the federal government of acting to slowly gabrielle is on their reports. now from my jersey city, the most recent mass shootings in the united states have renewed calls for gun control in america. but it's a complicated issue in part because each of the 50 states has freedom to enact gun laws as they see fit, making the u. s. a nation of a myriad of often disjointed firearm laws ever state can do what they want within the fixed parameters of the constitution, federal law. that's, that is the system. and every state really has the incentive to do something different within reason because every state truly is different. but there's stronger laws really mean less gun violence here in the state of new jersey. the answer is yes. according to the gifford law center, to reduce gun violence,

new jersey has the 2nd strictest gun laws anywhere in the united states, and also has some of the lowest gun death rates. even still governor phil murphy signed 7 new bills into law that tightened the states already stringent gun regulations. new jersey has one of the nation's lowest rates of gun violence and gun death. there was a reason for that. it is because we are among the leaders in guns safety state officials are bracing for as many as 200000 new gun permit applications before the new laws go into effect. the challenge with gun policy in america can also be seen in new jersey because of its neighboring state pennsylvania, which has much looser gun policy. guns can easily cross state lines while now new jersey can do our best to kind of protect our communities with these really great.

instead of one gun legislation. unfortunately, we're susceptible because there are places that people can obtain more freely neighboring new york. the governor recently announced anyone applying for a new gun permit will also have to list their social media accounts. the stronger the gun laws, the lower the gun death rate. but the issue is more complicated than people on either side of the gun debate. often like to admit gabriel sandow al jazeera jersey city, new jersey. now find these in the south african township of sweater have been paying tribute to 15 people who were killed. about 2 days ago, 3 all men entered the bar and opened fire for me to mila has more. what was supposed to be a saturday night at ball turned to tragedy for the way to family? and i think i see, la gwilym, his 19 year old son symptom, belayer was killed when 3 gunman entered the ball. we had gone to play pool. his
