Remembering Jimmy Carter

World leaders have been paying tribute to the former US president, Jimmy Carter, following his death, with many praising his efforts to promote peace. We hear from people who knew him and from people across the world who were impacted by Jimmy Carter's humanitarian work.

We hear from local people in South Korea where bereaved families are calling for more support after 179 people were killed in a plane crash on Sunday.

As the year is coming to an end, we are looking back at the big events in 2024 and today hear from three athletes who all won their country’s first Olympic or Paralympic medals in Paris.
