joe biden has announced a national day of mourning will be held onjanuary ninth. this is the scene in washington dc — where flags are flying at half mast. reports from argentina say five people have been charged in connection with the death of one direction star, liam payne. and — we'll tell you how you might be able to glimpse a very rare star — that hasn't been visible to the naked eye — for 8 decades. hello. i'm annita mcveigh. in south korea families of the victims of the nation's worst aviation diaster in decades, are criticising the lack of updates from officials. the acting president has visited the crash site — and ordered an emergency safety

inspection of the country's entire airline operation system, a day after the plane crash that killed all but two of the 181 people on board. the pilot of the jet is believed to have radioed air traffic control to say the aircraft had suffered a bird strike, shortly before crash landing and exploding. our seoul correspondentjean mackenzie is at the scene and sent this report. the bereaved are at breaking point. these outbursts happen every few minutes a day. on from the crash, they're still at the airport, waiting to be reunited with their loved ones�* bodies. why have only five bodies been released? this woman yells, "you're useless!" a police official spares her no details. they're too badly damaged, he says. forensic teams are still

piecing them together. it's disturbing to hear. and for shinji ho, it's even worse. his two teenage grandsons haven't even been identified. translation: their father took them to make happy memories. i've been sitting here all day hoping for news. i'm so frustrated. the plane was carrying koreans back from their christmas holidays in thailand when it landed at speed without its wheels down as it crashed. every passenger was killed. investigators are now trying to work out why the landing gear seemed to fail. but the black box is damaged. it will take time to decipher. so today, the attention has turned to what happened on the runway. when the plane made its emergency landing, it was still intact, but because it couldn't stop, it then overshot the runway here. and we now know that it hit this concrete and orange structure that has been raised up

on this grassy mound. this is a guidance system that is supposed to help planes land. but this is the point at which the plane exploded into this fireball and fractured into many pieces. and aviation experts are now questioning why this was positioned in this way. so raised up and so close to the end of the runway. the acting president has ordered an investigation of the country's entire aviation industry. a nearby sports hall has been turned into a memorial space, but many of the families aren't ready to remember. still glued to their airport seats without answers, they don't know who to blame. the only place they can direct their anger is at the forensic teams, who are still searching, yet to complete their gruelling, unenviable task. jeanne mckenzie, bbc news, muan airport.

let's speak to scott hamilton, an aviation consultant at leeham company. scott, thank you forjoining us and taking the time to talk to some bbc news. what more are you hearing about the status of this investigation and the discussions about what might have happened? we discussions about what might have happened?— discussions about what might have happened? we all know very cuickl have happened? we all know very quickly what _ have happened? we all know very quickly what was _ have happened? we all know very quickly what was going _ have happened? we all know very quickly what was going on - have happened? we all know very quickly what was going on with . quickly what was going on with the aeroplane and in the cockpit. the flight data recorder and the voice recorders have been recovered and assuming that they were not damaged very badly, and i have not heard that they were, those readouts should be coming any day now. we might hear some good answers from them in the next couple of days or even the next couple of days or even the next couple of hours. we next couple of days or even the next couple of hours.— next couple of hours. we have heard in a _ next couple of hours. we have heard in a jean _ next couple of hours. we have heard in a jean mackenzie's i heard in a jean mackenzie's report some discussion about this concrete structure at the end of the runway, which the aircraft collided with. it is called a localiser and it is opposed to sister with

landings. what are your thoughts on that? it landings. what are your thoughts on that? landings. what are your thou~hts on that? , ., ., thoughts on that? it should not have been _ thoughts on that? it should not have been constructed - thoughts on that? it should not have been constructed as - thoughts on that? it should not have been constructed as it - thoughts on that? it should not| have been constructed as it was on top of a concrete structure of some kind. most airports all have a clear zone where the first feet after the runway is clear of any obstacle to prevent a n clear of any obstacle to prevent an accident in the event of a runway excursion such as this.— event of a runway excursion such as this. saying some of the country's _ such as this. saying some of the country's other- such as this. saying some of the country's other airports. the country's other airports sit have similar localiser is installed. we have heard that the acting president has ordered an emergency safety inspection of the country's entire airline operation system. what will that likely involve? it system. what will that likely involve? ., . ., , involve? it would certainly involve? it would certainly involve looking _ involve? it would certainly involve looking at - involve? it would certainly| involve looking at anything that might be in these clear zones and it could relocate or reconstruct the way these localises are installed. that would be very important. one

also presumed there would be looking at how you keep birds away from the end of the runway. this is a big problem for the united states. and other airline issues with the airlines themselves. the bird strike issue _ airlines themselves. the bird strike issue has _ airlines themselves. the bird strike issue has been - airlines themselves. the bird strike issue has been talked l strike issue has been talked about at some length but as we have been reporting, it is unclear how this might have caused the aircraft's landing gear to stay up. do you have any specific thoughts on how that might have happened? aha, that might have happened? bird strike in the singular should not have brought an aeroplane like this down. if there are multiple bird strikes in both engines, causing power loss at a very low altitude, we do know that the aeroplane made a sharp u—turn and landed at the other end of the runway. it could be that there are multiple emergencies going on. if their plane had no power.

the fdr, the flight data recorder, and the cockpit recorder, and the cockpit recorder should help us on how many bird strikes there were, what happened after, and what was going on in the cockpit as well as the aeroplane. just very briefly. _ well as the aeroplane. just very briefly, one _ well as the aeroplane. just very briefly, one of- well as the aeroplane. just very briefly, one of the - well as the aeroplane. just very briefly, one of the main criticisms, we have heard, from the families, is that they're not getting enough information from officials. do you think it's reasonable, obviously, there is a hugely detailed forensic investigation going on, do you think it's reasonable that the families should expect more information and updates at this point? fisher and updates at this point? over here in the _ and updates at this point? over here in the united _ and updates at this point? or here in the united states, the national transportation safety board is has daily press briefings in the wake of an accident. i obviously, do not know what the policy is in south korea but i think that's probably at the route of the cause of that problem. scott hamilton. — cause of that problem. scott hamilton, thank— cause of that problem. scott hamilton, thank you - cause of that problem. scott hamilton, thank you very . cause of that problem. scott i hamilton, thank you very much for your time.— tributes are being paid from around the world to the former us president and nobel peace prize winner,

jimmy carter, who's died at the age of 100. he was the peanut farmer who became the most powerful man in the world, serving one term as president from 1977 to 1981. this is the scene live in washington, dc where the flag at the white house is flying at half mast. president biden led tributes tojimmy carter saying that america and the world had lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian. our north american correspondent has this report. at the white house, the american flag flew at half mast while the empire state building was lit up in red, white and blue to mark jemmy carter's death. he was the peanut farmer from georgia who rose to the highest office in the land. born 100 years ago in the deep south, he gave up a promising naval career to take over the family farm that made him wealthy and was his springboard into politics. jimmy carter lived a life measured not by words

but by his deeds. just look at his life. his life's work. he worked to eradicate disease. not notjust at home, but around the world. he forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights, promoted free and fair elections around the world. he won election as governor of his home state, and from that took a run at the white house, elected in the wake of the watergate political scandal. he promised always, to be honest. as a candidate and as a president, i'll never tell a lie. he brought a more informal tone to the office. alwastimmy and notjames, he walked in his inaugural parade rather than being driven in office. arguably his greatest success came in foreign policy. let us now lay aside war. let us now reward all the children of abraham who hunger for a comprehensive peace in the middle east. shaking hands with egyptian president anwar sadat and his israeli counterpart menachem begin, he secured the camp david accords.

to this day, the most successful peacemaking moment america's secured in the middle east. but his time in office was marred by rising inflation and an oil crisis which saw long lines at the pumps. his problems were compounded when 52 americans were taken hostage following the iranian revolution. a crisis became a disaster when eight servicemen were killed in a botched rescue attempt, punished by the electorate. he was crushed in the 1980 election by ronald reagan. after leaving office, he set up the carter centre, working on issues of democracy and improving the lives of ordinary people at home and abroad. and more than 20 years after leaving office, he won the nobel peace prize for his post—presidential work. last year, he began receiving hospice care after suffering health issues, including an aggressive form of skin cancer. his children paid tribute to his work as a humanitarian.

in a statement, his son chip cartersaid... peanut farmer president, humanitarian jemmy carter led a long life dedicated to public service. he showed it was possible to have influence even after leaving the white house, and he left a legacy which outlives him. with me is american—born writer and broadcaster bonnie greer. bonnie, thank you so much for joining us on bbc news today. i want to begin by asking who was jimmy carterto you? want to begin by asking who was jimmy carter to you? and who did he represent, your personal reflections. i’m did he represent, your personal reflections-_ reflections. i'm going to talk to ou reflections. i'm going to talk to you from _ reflections. i'm going to talk to you from the _ reflections. i'm going to talk to you from the perspective | reflections. i'm going to talk. to you from the perspective of being a young university student paying her way through university, having no money, just coming out of the political activism of the vietnam war and the black power movement and we just were

fighting for our rights as women and the horrible nurse of watergate which is very difficult to explain now. it was horrific. the world was very dark. it was a recession, a heatwave, the world was very dark, everybody was poor except the tramps. and then comes jimmy carter, a guy who, in a sense, harked back to lincoln, what we understood about lincoln, about the united states as a moral compass in the world. notjust a great power. notjust a country that did deals, notjust that, it was a moralforce in did deals, notjust that, it was a moral force in the world. we had just been in vietnam, that was catastrophic, immoral, and suddenly, my generation said let's do something good. we had a criminal president in richard nixon. this guy came on the scene and he was somebody who was simple, a southerner, which was incredible for my

generation of young black people because we voted for a white deep south peanut farmer to be the president of the united states. we were civil rights movement kids. all of this was quite amazing arc of time and of course, then, he tried to broker peace in the middle east, he tried a lot of things. we did not know at the time how broken the country was. we suspected it but we did not know all the pieces. putting that in the context of the time, it's an incredibly powerful description of what he represented at this point in time. looking, and there are so much we could talk about but looking at a couple of specific policy areas, how do you assess his contributions in tackling racism and also what did it mean for you as a woman to have this man in at the white house? he was the first president, wasn't he, to give his wife her own office in the white house.

exactly. as women we were fighting for our rights, autonomy over our bodies. what was wonderful that an anti—slavery constitutional amendment had been used to protect us and suddenly we were voting for a southern guy who had a confederacy in his background. there he was, saying he was going to change the country, give it a moral compass, we could talk about morality again because we couldn't work for the last ten years it was was impossible. with vietnam and richard nixon and watergate, it was impossible.— and watergate, it was imossible. ~ . ., ., ., impossible. we have heard a lot about him _ impossible. we have heard a lot about him and _ impossible. we have heard a lot about him and during _ impossible. we have heard a lot about him and during his - impossible. we have heard a lot about him and during his time . about him and during his time in the white house and what he achieved after his time in the white house, was he the very definition of an elder statesman, do you think? it was incredible. _ statesman, do you think? it was incredible, he _ statesman, do you think? it was incredible, he loved _ statesman, do you think? it was incredible, he loved country - incredible, he loved country and western, willie nelson, all of that music was there for him but also afterwards he decided to become what was called an

elder, someone who had been there, seen it, done it. still young enough to make a difference in the world, still able enough to say let's go around, nelson mandela, let's go round all of these people, let's find a way to make the world a better place. we've been at the top, let's hope we can do now. been at the top, let's hope we can do nova— can do now. finally, at this oint can do now. finally, at this point of— can do now. finally, at this point of transition - can do now. finally, at this point of transition in - can do now. finally, at this. point of transition in american tojoe biden —— from joe biden tojoe biden —— from joe biden to donald trump, do you think this discussion around jimmy carter, the type of person he was, and his way of doing things has an added weight? that things has an added weight? git this moment in time, america has no place for this discussion. there is no room for it. there is no space. hopefully, in the next two years, and going up to midterms, maybe there will be a space to discuss a president likejimmy carter but america has no cachet for that at this moment. has no cachet for that at this moment-— moment. bonnie greer, i appreciate _ moment. bonnie greer, i appreciate your - moment. bonnie greer, i appreciate your time, - moment. bonnie greer, i. appreciate your time, thank moment. bonnie greer, i- appreciate your time, thank you very much.

around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. there are three more games in the premier league on monday. among them manchester united taking on in form newcastle. it's not been the ideal start for ruben amorim, who has won just four and lost five of his 10 games since taking over at old trafford, and they're just eight points clear of the relegation zone. he might have taken over at the end of the season, but instead joined the club midway through. iam here, i have to focus on the job. it is part of football to have these difficult moments. i already knew that is going to be tough. of course you expect to win more games, to have players with more confidence, to sell the idea and to work and to improve a lot of things.

in this moment it's really hard. like i said, we have to survive, to have time and then to improve the team. liverpool winger mohamed salah says he is "far away" from signing a new deal at the premier league club. the egyptian contributed to liverpool's 5—0 thrashing of west ham on sunday by scoring his 17th league goal of the season, as well as providing two assists. however after the game, salah revealed that negotiations are �*far�* from reaching a positive conclusion at this time and insisted that he is solely focused on liverpool's on—field aims this season. ac milan have appointed sergio conceicao as their new manager, with the serie a side confirming the news in a statement in the last half—hour. this comes after they sacked head coach paulo fonseca after just six months in charge. milan were held to a frustrating 1—1 draw with roma on sunday, a result that left them eighth in the serie a table. conceicao has signed

an 18—month deal with the italian club. there was a thrilling conclusion to the fourth test between australia and india in melbourne — australia winning by 184 runs to take a 2—1 lead in the series. india were set a target of 340 in 92 overs — a sensational bowling performance in the evening session saw australia take the final seven wickets forjust 34 runs as india were bowled out for 155 in the final hour. this was in front of a record attendance for a test match in australia — with 373,691 spectators at the mcg over the five days. when you take all that into account it can be the best test match i've been to, account it can be the best test match i've been
