Obama: 'Go Back At' Gun Control Fight President Obama on Saturday night said it's time to "go back at it" to find crack down on gun control after deadly shootings at the Washington Navy Yard and in Chicago. "We fought a good fight earlier this year, but we came up short, and that means we've got to get back up and go back at it," Obama told the Congressional Black Caucus, to applause. Obama had made gun control a priority after the Newtown shooting in December killed 20 children, but Congress had rejected his proposal to restrict certain types of guns and require more background checks.

Bo maintained his innocence at his trial and insisted his confession had come after torture. He still has the right to appeal his sentence. The all-power Chinese politburo removed Bo from power last year, and he has been stripped from political rights for life.   Read it at BBC News SUNDAY BETS 5. Who Will Win the Emmys?
