and an arrest warrant for suspended president yoon suk yeol has been requested over his short—lived declaration of martial law earlier this month. welcome to newsday, i'm steve lai. the former us president and nobel peace prize winner, jimmy carter, has died at the age of 100. he died on sunday afternoon at home in georgia and was the longest—lived president in us history. his presidency in the 1970s is remembered for the camp david accords which resulted in egypt recognising israel for the first time and the iran hostage crisis. after leaving office, he went on to work for peace and socialjustice. there have been reactions from the us and around the world but first, we start our coverage with our north america

correspondent gary o'donoghue, on the life of president carter as a candidate and as a president, i'll never tell a lie. that was the essence ofjimmy carter. people may have questioned his ability but not his honesty, sincerity and passion that propelled a peanut farmer to the presidency. he was born in the deep south — in plains, georgia. james earl carter cut short a promising naval career to come home after the death of his father. he turned the family business around. growing peanuts made jimmy carter rich. then came the lure of politics. he served two terms in the state senate and one as georgia's governor before bringing his faith—based politics to washington and a run for the presidency. my name isjimmy carter and i'm running for president. cheering and applause. he campaigned on a pledge to bind america's wounds after watergate and vietnam. i, jimmy carter, do solemnly swear...

it was a presidency that would be marked by one lasting foreign policy high and marred by a number of lows. in 1979, joining hands with israel's prime minister menachem begin and egypt's anwar sadat, sealing the camp david peace accords was his finest hour. it's still america's most significant peacemaking moment in the middle east. so, let us now lay aside war. let us now reward all the children of abraham who hungerfor a comprehensive peace in the middle east. at home, he was an environmental pioneer, preserving huge tracts of land in alaska and even installing solar panels at the white house. applause. and an ardent feminist — he encouraged his wife to set up and run her own office in the white house, appointed women to his administration and declared, "women's rights

"are the fight of my life". but an energy crisis saw long lines at the pumps while inflation was rising sharply and his administration seemed listless, ill—equipped to cope. worse would follow with the iranian revolution and the interminable hostage crisis that followed at the us embassy in tehran. 52 americans were being held and the commander—in—chief seemed out of his depth. a botched rescue attempt left eight americans dead. against that background, there was no way he was going to win re—election. in the event, his loss to ronald reagan in 1980 was crushing. butjimmy carter was not about to disappear quietly into a gilded, corporate post—presidential life. he brought his prestigious energy to human rights issues, setting up the carter center in atlanta, campaigning across the world for democracy and justice. 22 years after leaving office, he was awarded the nobel peace prize for his efforts.

morning, everybody. all: ~ ., in plains, georgia, he carried on leading bible study classes. only when he was past 90 years would he tell a news conference — with his trademark humour, dignity and humility and without a shred of self—pity — that cancer had spread to his brain. i think i have been as blessed as any human being in the world with having become the president of the united states of america and the work of the carter center and everything's been a blessing for me, so i'm thankful. butjimmy carter carried on his work in the us and around the world, busy trying to make a difference right up to the very end. at his side for 77 years, jimmy carter said of his wife, rosalynn, "she was my equal partner in everything". in their twilight, president biden made the pilgrimage to georgia to thank them both for their lifetime of public service.

and when rosalynn died, her husband made a rare trip out of hospice care to pay his final, loving respects. jimmy carter's legacy has been hotly debated and often revised, but few would dispute that america's longest lived president gave, in his own words, his very best. as you would expect, there has been a lot of reaction. presidentjoe biden spoke of losing a great leader and a friend. america, the world, in my view, has lost a remarkable leader. he was a statesman and humanitarian. jill and i lost a dearfriend. i have been hanging out with jimmy carter for over 50 years. it dawned on me.

i have had countless conversations over those years. i will always be proud to say, that he used to kid me about it, i was the first national figure to endorse him in 1976 when he ran for president. there was only one reason for it — his character. what i found extraordinary aboutjimmy carter and millions of people around the world all over the world, feel they lost a friend as well. even though they never met him. that's becausejimmy carter lived a life measured not by words but by his deeds. just look at his life, and his life's work. he worked to eradicate disease, notjust at home but around the world. he forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights, promoted free and fair elections around the world. he built housing for the homeless with his own hands, and his compassion and moral clarity lifted people up and changed lives

and saved lives all over the globe. jimmy carter was just as courageous in his battle against cancer as everything in his life. donald trump also commented on the passing of president carter in a post on his social media site truth social. he said: "the challengesjimmy faced as president came "at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything "in his power to improve the lives of all americans. "for that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude." there's also been reaction from around the world, king charles said: "his dedication and humility served "as an inspiration to many, "and i remember with great fondness his visit to the united kingdom in 1977." and prime minister sir keir starmer sent his condolences, and in a statement he said: "jimmy carter lived his values in the service of others to the very end." i'm joined now by brendon 0'connor, professor of us politics and foreign relations at the university of sydney. what do you think will be president carter's longest legacy? i

president carter's longest le . a ? ~ president carter's longest lea ? ~ , . legacy? i think putting human riahts at legacy? i think putting human rights at the _ legacy? i think putting human rights at the centre _ legacy? i think putting human rights at the centre of - legacy? i think putting human rights at the centre of foreign | rights at the centre of foreign policy something people still take a lot of encouragement from, they take one of the moments of the united states trying to live up to the values it often speaks of, believe america has a special role to play in the world, that human rights are at the centre of all peoples lives no matter where live. that was an enduring idea the carter administration put at the forefront of its rhetoric, it was not always able to keep this in policy but i think if you look over the last century, the best record of trying really hard to align american values and actions rather than those values being empty, there was a concerted effort after the vietnam. after nixon period, after a number of revelations about american involvement in third world countries with dictators and militias, carter administration tried to correct some of that and make america's image more

effective in the world and more based on the values of human rights. iii based on the values of human ri . hts. , . , rights. if we stay with thoughts _ rights. if we stay with thoughts on - rights. if we stay with thoughts on foreign l rights. if we stay with - thoughts on foreign policy... president nixon started talks with china but it was under carter's presidency the two countries officially recognized one another, exchanging ambassadors and opening embassies. how would you describe his views towards china? i think there was that visit to china under the nixon administration, inevitably many european countries had acknowledged communist china and united states, there were many business people who thought the prospect of a billion people to sell goods to, was going to be fantastic. some of that didn't exactly work out the way the americans thought would be, the chinese ended up selling a lot of things to the americans. the inevitability was acknowledged by the carter administration, embassies were created, normalisation took place sensibly and the promise which

is at the centre of us china relations to this day started to take off, and the chinese after the death of mao seton started reforming and changing and opening up their economy to the world so that went on pretty much right from the late 19705 pretty much right from the late 1970s until this day and is obviously becoming very controversial with the trump campaigns and questions about was it done the right way — president carter opened up to the inevitability that china needed to be recognised the idea america would isolate it wasn't going to work. brendon 0'connor, professor of us politics and foreign relations at the university of sydney. thank you very much for your time today. plenty more on our website bbc.com/news. we have pieces and videos from our extensive archive, looking closer at his life. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

you're live with bbc news. to south korea now, where we've been following two big stories. first, the plane crash that killed 179 people on sunday morning. the south korean government has declared seven days of national mourning to mark the country's worst ever air disaster. the plane crashed early sunday — killing all the passengers on board. only two people, who were flight crew, survived. the aircraft, operated byjeju air, was arriving from thailand when it landed at high speed. according to the south korean transport ministry, there wasn't enough time on the ground to make preparations for an emergency landing at muan international airport in the country's south. it skidded off the runway, smashed into a concrete a wall and exploded into flames. much of the boeing 737 was reduced to metalfragments. 0ur asia correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes is at muan international airport. here's the latest. as you may be able to see behind me that is the charred tail section of thejeju air 737 that crashed here yesterday. that is all that remains

of the plane as it burst into flames and a huge fireball when it struck, what it really struck was not the wall as you can see the wall is still intact, what it struck was the instrument landing system which is a large steel structure used to guide planes into the airport. as it came off the end of the runway, it smashed into that large steel structure and that is what destroyed the plane and meant none of the passengers had any chance of surviving. you may also be able to see behind me here, large numbers of fire crews, and also many soldiers, many soldiers out here this morning, going painstakingly through the wreckage of the aircraft and also the field at the end of the runway here because there is a lot of debris that was thrown 50, hundred metres down away from the airport and they are planting little flags where ever they find debris because all of that has to be collected.

they are still looking for human remains out here as well, that will be identified by dna. this is a very painstaking process now, where they have to gather all the bits and pieces of the wreckage, even the smallest pieces just of wreckage will be gathered together to take part, to be part of the investigation into what exactly happened here yesterday, because as you said in your introduction, there are far more questions than answers here about what exactly happened. experts who looked at the footage of the plane landing here or the attempted landing say there are many things that are very strange about what happened. rupert, you mentioned the investigations are ongoing and it will take time to determine some of these things like dna testing, what else is happening at the airport today. yesterday, a lot of families of those passengers at the airport trying to get more information about what had happened? that's right, many family and relatives have gathered inside the airport terminal, temporary accommodation has been set up for them inside the terminal.

they set up a large area of tents so that families can have privacy because of course people like us the media are crowding around trying to find information. they want to keep their privacy which is very understandable. they were very distressing scenes, many people crying and wailing last night and still this morning. we now understand from south korean media, that perhaps not surprisingly on a charter flight but a low—cost airline flight from thailand there were many families on this flight, we understand there is a family of five who have all died, you saw in south korean media a family of eight who have all perished in this flight. this is obviously very distressing for the relatives and friends and the families because all these people had gone to thailand or most of them had gone to thailand to enjoy christmas holiday with their families, they were coming back for new year in south korea and this terrible

tragedy happened. i'm joined now by mark martin, an aviation expert from martin consulting. why was there this landing system at the end of the runway which would put any aircraft at risk that overshot?— risk that overshot? good morning _ risk that overshot? good morning steve _ risk that overshot? good morning steve happy - risk that overshot? good - morning steve happy holidays and fly save everybody. these airfields are pretty old airfields are pretty old airfields built during when the us occupied korea, the legacy the us left behind and craig continued. 0ne the us left behind and craig continued. one of the reasons why the system was at the end of the runway as it was designed to capture something called back beam, you could use it from both sides of the runway. predominantly if you have this system at the end of the runway it is for military and civilian aircraft. clearly what happened here the guy in

the desperate situation he was made an emergency landing on board the aircraft down, no matter how incapacitated it was. he ran out of runway. and that this the sad part. if he had 1000 foot more runway he would have made it, he would have saved everybody on board. and i think this is a wake—up call for us to really look at how it puts our designs. most parts of asia, singapore, thailand, malaysia have got far more modern airports than south korea and drastic steps need to be taken. again, i will express a concern here, it does not speculate we need to investigate why the aircraft came down in an emergency. we have to understand what led to it being incapacitated, was it engine failure or a hydraulic failure or a dual engine blowout, whatever it is, that process needs to start. this is

possibly the worst air disaster after ear asia 8501 and line in year 737 max crashed and we should not have such incidents at least in asia. aha, should not have such incidents at least in asia.— at least in asia. a lot of those questions - at least in asia. a lot of those questions will. at least in asia. a lot of those questions will be | those questions will be directed at boeing the airline manufacturer. what will they be doing as part of this investigation?- doing as part of this investiuation? . . ., ., , investigation? the aircraft was a 7371 of the — investigation? the aircraft was a 7371 of the most _ investigation? the aircraft was a 7371 of the most reliable - a 7371 of the most reliable aircraft ever produced by boeing this is a major worry for boeing because they will also need to get on board with the investigation process and establish what went wrong. and i think this is going to be a global investigation. i'm not sure whether the aps p will be involved because this is not an american rigid —— registered aircraft, the faa and asian safety authorities should get on board with this because, when you have a bird/ whatever

it was and that is best termed speculation you can bring the plane down with hydraulics and engine power and something obviously has gone wrong. that has to be thoroughly investigated. we should also respect the dead, those who are lost, and the more we speculate this will be painful for anybody and everybody who has lost a family member or a friend, including the cru. the faster the investigation commences steve, the betterfor safety in aviation. mark martin, an aviation expert from martin consulting. thank you very much for your thoughts. staying in south korea, there are new developments on the fallout from president yoon suk yeol�*s botched attempt to impose martial law. investigators have requested a warrant to arrest the former president on charges of insurrection after he failed to report for questioning. they say president yoon and his team have tried to avoid and delay questioning on multiple occasions.

it's almost five months on from the ousting of bangladesh's prime minister sheikh hasina and the installation of an interim government led by muhammed yunus. protests have continued to disrupt life in dhaka, and the government has faced criticism for the slow pace of reform. but next week, the heads of six commissions will report back to mr yunus, and their recommendations will shape the reform of everything from the electoral system to thejudiciary. the constitution reform commission faces an especially daunting task — charged with drafting a constitution for a deeply polarised country that "reflects the aspirations" of all bangladeshis. the head of that commission, ali riaz, says a new constitution must be guided by ideals of "equality, dignity and socialjustice." but what will that mean in practice, and how big are the challenges? professor riazjoins me now. tell us more about the guiding principles for this constitution.

thank you, first of all we are not drafting the constitution, what we have been tasked with as looking at the current constitution and provide recommendations to the interim government which will have a conversation to the political party and then getting to the adapting process. as for the guiding principle you mention basically is that to ensure that the governance that bangladeshi witnessed in the far —— cast 15 plus years shaker scene is to find out how to start the recurrence of that system. also creating an accountable system that will be executed losses holding them accountable to the people. so the democratisation is the principal word, this instance we are following the guide it was in the first constitutional or the proclamation of bangladesh in 1971. it is about

human dignity and social justice those of the guiding principles we have followed when we drafted a consultation process. will secularism be enshrined in it? secularism as we see it has changed over the times. what we are looking at is how it has express the peoples aspirations of the current situation on the ground in bangladesh especially the plurality we have seen for centuries in bangladesh, this needs to be reflected here. that religious and ethnic and other pluralities be uphold in the recommendations that we will make, that emphasise the issue here is to make sure, that everyone feels safe, everyone feels a part of the country, and everybody has a stake, nothing should deter them there should not be in

that could exclude them from the political and governance process. bangladesh is deeply polarised. the different parties been encouraged tojoin this process? encouraged to 'oin this processvh encouraged to 'oin this rocess? ~ . ., process? we have encouraged olitical process? we have encouraged political parties _ process? we have encouraged political parties to _ process? we have encouraged political parties to make - political parties to make recommendations than they have done, then 20 political parties, they have submitted extensive article through the proposal, other political parties which on their own submitted, we have gone through a very extensive and rigourous process. we have got comments and suggestions from 100,000 people, to our website, 50,000 to a survey reaching 116,000 households. then we have

concerted civil society organisations and constitutional experts, we have done a very extensive and inclusive process. we have reviewed 120 constitutions from other countries to see the constitution stands on what needs to be changed.- constitution stands on what needs to be changed. once the deadhne needs to be changed. once the deadline hits _ needs to be changed. once the deadline hits in _ needs to be changed. once the deadline hits in a _ needs to be changed. once the deadline hits in a week - needs to be changed. once the deadline hits in a week what i deadline hits in a week what happens next how long this process of amending or redrafting the constitution will take?— redrafting the constitution will take? . , , will take? the way we see it our 'ob will take? the way we see it ourjob is — will take? the way we see it ourjob is to _ will take? the way we see it ourjob is to submit - will take? the way we see it ourjob is to submit a - will take? the way we see it ourjob is to submit a draft i ourjob is to submit a draft recommendation to the interim government of muhammed yunus then he has come to the commission the six commissioners and will have a conversation to the political parties to go forward, it will be universal consultation process what the interim government can do, what it will allow the government to do. the process will take a little bit of time but it will not take a longer period, what we are

seeing is much more consensus in our political parties on many issues.— in our political parties on many issues. thank you very much for _ many issues. thank you very much for sharing _ many issues. thank you very much for sharing your - many issues. thank you very i much for sharing your thoughts with us. the head of the bangladeshi constitutional reform commission. you have been watching newsday. before we go, this just in. south korea's acting leader has ordered an emergency safety inspection of the country's entire airline operations, a day after 179 people were killed in the deadliest plane crash on its soil. the jeju air plane burst into flames as it crash—landed in south korea's muan international airport, killing everyone onboard save for two victims. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. more on our website. hello. the week ahead brings a big change in the weather from the stagnant, misty, murky conditions of the last few days — a change to something more turbulent. heavy rain and snow, strong winds and a much colder feel by the end of the week.

this is a recipe that could bring some disruption to new year travel plans. now, the reason for the change is this frontal system which is going to wriggle and writhe around, bringing pulses of heavy rain and snow. the worst of the weather on monday morning across scotland. very heavy rain, the increasing risk of flooding. heavy snow there in the far north. some wet weather pushing down into northern ireland, northern england. some very gusty winds over the tops of the pennines — gusts of up to 60mph. further south, it will be quieter. quite breezy. cloud breaking to some extent to give some sunny spells. mild for most but not quite for all of us — it will be cold in the north of scotland. now, during monday night, we'll see more heavy rain pushing across scotland. again, the risk of flooding. again, some snow for a time, particularly in the far north. and then through new year's eve, we'll see wet weather pushing across northern ireland, northern england, wales, across this central swathe of the uk. gusts of 50—60, maybe 70mph. so very windy, mild for most of us, still cold there in the far north but if you're celebrating at midnight, there will be some outbreaks of rain around.

it will be quite windy but i think there will be some dry gaps as well, and relatively mild for most of us. but the weather turns lively again during new year's day as this area of low pressure pushes in from the west. now, on the northern edge of the low, we may see some quite significant snow across parts of northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england. uncertainty about just how much snow we will see but there could be some even to quite low levels. rain to the south of that and also, some very brisk winds across the southern half of the uk. gusts of 40, 50, maybe 60mph or more in the most exposed spots. some wintry showers in the north — it will be cold here. mild for the time being further south. but the cold air wins out for all of us for the end of the week. some night time frosts, some wintry showers, a lot of sunshine but temperatures stuck in single digits.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. so essentially it's how do we live well on this planet without destroying it? it's a simple question. we are saturated of all this information and of talking of the problem, how can we have spaces to look towards the solution? we've all heard it before. to create a sustainable world, we must move away from fossil fuels and embrace green technology. but what if technology alone isn't enough? people are dying and all- you can talk about is money and fairytales of- eternal economic growth.

how dare you? what if solving the issues of climate change demands a more profound systemic change? a group of activists and academics argue that infinite economic growth on our finite planet is a dangerous illusion. their bold solution — degrowth. we are trying to teach people the importance of building social, economic and environmental links with people around you. so, moving to this project gave me a lot of stability. i know that i'm going to have here 40 people that will be there for me. it takes two kinds of work. it takes social, political, organisation work, - but also it takes a cultural shift. i is it time to embrace more radical solutions? or are we risking too much? all of our experience historically has been that if the economy shrinks for a period of time, that results in big increases in poverty.

i think degrowth underestimates the power of innovation.
