Now turning to international news...

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnahm says, he's open to formally apologizing for
Britain's role in the slave trade.

That's a big shift in the UK's stance on addressing historical wrongs.

Burnham says that it's important to discuss slavery's legacy, adding that
having honest conversations about the legacies of slavery is "the right thing
to do."

He made the comments before a meeting with Caribbean Commonwealth leaders.

He rejected reparations, but proposed debt restructing to help poorer
Commonwealth countries.

A Caribbean trade bloc welcomed the apology, but said that reparations are
necessary.

Burnham's stance is at odds with the opposition Conservative Party, which
opposes apologizing for historical wrongs.

The Netherlands previously apologized for its role in the slave trade but no
country has paid financial reparations to affected nations or the descendants
of enslaved people.
