full full, my us president jimmy casa, is getting underway in washington dc. now these are life pictures from washington national cathedral. the 1st, the 9th us president, died last month, h $100.00 on sessions and leaders from across the political spectrum has paid tribute to casa over the past week. honoring the strong christian faith and values driven politics that he embodied on thousands of americans have come to pay their respects at the capital. what costa was lying in states, a small, the invitation only service will take place in his nice of georgia later today. the now we have double coverage on that funeral service with dw is janelle dom allowed in washington dc just outside the funeral venue. and steven bisley here in the

studio with may, we'll be talking to both of you in just a moment. but let's go directly to the live pictures 1st. the, the

neutral in washington dc. the

the, [000:00:00;00]

the,

the body is the former us president candy console being moved now slowly from us into the national cathedral in washington, dc. steven, just give us a sense, care of how important, what are, or how significant the moment this is under. there are very few reasons why their state honors would be held in the united states or very few individuals who receive state, funerals and presidents are among the very, very few. this happens very rarely. as you can see here, we look at the former presidents. we see how unusual it is that you can all gathered in one place. usually they are divided by party because they're going certain conventions, certain rallies, things like that. but here they are altogether beautiful name and unity. we're seeing right now. we absolutely, and that's what makes this special um, the last funeral i believe was 18 or 2017 for george h. w. bush is do happen obviously occasionally. and it is a moment in which you see

a very divided country come together and that becomes an even starter picture. in recent years, when you look at just how ribbon the country is by 2 political sides. so i think it's moments like these that there's a general hope that there will be a bit more by partisanship a bit more coming together. this ceremony unique, of course, because it takes place on the eve of, you know, the ration of donald trump, brothers and individuals is very, very much different from jimmy carter in terms of the domain or politics branch. everything. jimmy costs are really did stand, didn't pay for those values of coming together working together democracy, you know, being with the standing by the, on the dog or on. you can see it as wise. one election in the 1st place. remember that he came on the heels of richard nixon who was being investigated and was about to be prosecuted for the watergate scandal. so he left the presidency in shame and of course followed vietnam and americans withdrawal from vietnam. so there was, there was

a lot to be disappointed about to be ashamed about in america the time that was a feeling. and jimmy carter came on and said, i will bring us back to that place. it was a religious man. he was a hopeful man. he was someone who had a lot of humility and his spouse, those values ends with that is something that he carried throughout his career in the white house, but also in his post presidency, which was very neat, mercy patients, comfort them with a sense of your goodness lift up your countenance upon and give them peace for jesus christ stars,

or ahmed the of the. so it just watching the coffin of the former president jimmy casa, being brought slowly into the national cathedral in washington dc. many people came to washington, then they steven to pay the tribute not to mention luminaries,

politicians. this was somebody who really brought people together. that's right. i think we even saw this on the procession, his body leaving plains, georgia and coming up to the capital. going all the way up the east coast. there were individuals who were waiting along the roadsides, waiting over of bypasses, over passes, waving, holding flags, saluting. so you see these kinds of gestures, these outpouring of emotions when someone so important passes away and whether you like quarter as a president or not. he holds a meaningful period for many americans lives. he represents a meaningful period, i should say. so to see someone like the past, it's a marker for many people, even if they may not be especially close to the president. but carter of course, has significance for that kind of well developed post presidency. again, he meant so much to so many people inside the, the cathedral now where several of the most recent presidents, including the current president, joe biden, vice president,

come on the of the

the going across i, the, to all correspondents in washington, dc. janelle, doing the lounge, he's standing outside the washington national for the national cathedral, with that service is taking place. janelle give us a sense of the atmosphere in, in washington, and the public's reaction to jimmy casa, being laid to rest as well on you. as you can imagine, the atmosphere here is pseudo billy sunburn. now, there was

a move in to where we gathered here outside were not allowed to speak until the coffin of jimmy carter had been transferred from outside inside the cathedral. so it was a moment of complete silence, only broken up by the military band accompanying the listing of that coffin over the cathedral steps. and of course, were surrounded here by a blanket of snow that serving to somewhat accentuate to the solemnity of the location. and of course, so these are also the conditions that americans face to when thousands of them lined up to pay respects. so to the former president, as he was lying in state in the capital, that these were all long lines in the cold, in the wind and in the snow. now this was a president with a very complicated political legacy, as i think i heard stephen alluding to their earlier. but the americans understand him as

a fundamentally good and decent man who dedicated his life to serving others well past his presidency. now on your own, if i can give you a little anecdote, i would also just like to say that you know jimmy carter that in only mean something to americans, but his humanitarian worker brought him around the world. i from the philippines and i am old enough to remember when he visited the philippines and 1999 to build houses where i remember watching on the news. how one woman was so moved at the sight of the former president of the united states sweating as he labored to help build her a house. so these are memories that people carry with them of jimmy carter around the world. and it is probably something that's all a lot of them are come number reading alongside to thousands of americans to our thinking of jimmy carter today as he's made to us later on. we're seeing pictures right now of

a several full my us presidents from both sides of the political spectrum, many political figures, including donald trump, who we just sold that came to pay their respects to, to jimmy costa. what does it say about the mine? but so many coming to or on i have, i mean, you said the people see him as a good and, and decent mind. what does he represent for america? so i think this day is really coming to a significant moment in the political life of this country. as he said, there you have a quite a few past presidents gathered inside the cathedral. stephen said earlier, if i, if i heard them correctly, that this was a moment of unity and you know, it could, it could very well be that. but in the past, stop in the past days following jimmy carter's,

the thought it has also been quite the fraud. so we have experience to expect to your president biden expected to give the eulogy later on. of course, he's expected to praise the man who had become his friend of mine who was not at all like him, a bite and very much the washington inside or a creature of the hill, a creature of the white house. while jimmy carter was a man of simplicity who did not like the washington cocktails, her good and but they were 2 men that had an understanding and love of the service . so 11 is able to say, now donald trump for his part, he is set to to take over the white house. so on january 20, he has conceded that while he thinks jimmy carter is a good man, he has also use of the occasion of jimmy carter's desk to criticize him for what he perceives as tasks foreign policy mistakes. like, for example, hanging over the panama canal, donald trump, the proceeds of that as an error. he has talked in recent days about taking it over

. so i think up, so what a moment like this shows is just a lot of contrasting view points in terms of what it means, what it means to be american on the world stage. what america america's role in the world should be. and this is all, uh, you know, this is a, this is the sort of event that can highlight that when you have these past presidents and one incoming presidente, sitting there or in, in the same place to w correspondent. janelle didn't allow her pushing from washington dc. janelle, thank you so much and as we're watching live coverage of the funeral of jimmy casa, i'm joined in the studio by stephen, basically just to talk about the former president a little bit more. he was extremely well known and was in the states for his humanitarian work off to leaving the white house. so tell us how this has affected

his legacy. how is he being talked about? is jimmy carter's legacy, to be honest, i think that's what most people really know him for. and remember him for even those who were born after his presidency, they may have come into contact with his efforts later. everything he's done charitably. everything that he's done in a service sense, even those who went down to planes, georgia and sat in on a sunday school session that he taught and was still teaching until just years before his dad. that's all quite remarkable. janelle alluded to this, jimmy carter was not comfortable in washington dc. he was a one term president perhaps because of that because perhaps because of other challenges. but he use that time at the highest level and then leverage that to do something quite remarkable in an area where he was comfortable and that is service serving others, his religion. ya cities, very much a believer, a christian believer. it's very much wanted to, to take those kinds of leads and make them concrete. and so she mentioned habitat for humanity. that's what many americans know jimmy carter for, and that is

a charitable organization that he was very closely aligned with. and which of those homes for those who cannot afford to build their own homes, and they basically put in sweat equity. janelle mentioned the sweat that you would see on the people's faces jimmy carter's face. he would often take a hammer now and get in there as well. i worked on him as a kid as well. everyone knew these projects. another thing, the carter center in atlanta that he founded to, to do charitable works around the world. one thing that they focused on was eliminating this tiny malady in, in africa, which was actually not tiny at all for many atkins called the guinea worm. now most of us don't know anything about it. if you're in western countries, if you're in the us or europe, but these are tara, is it a terrible affliction? a parasitic we're ended with inter someone's waters who can sit someone's body, excuse me, through contaminated water. jimmy carter was exposed to this on a trip to africa and when world health officials said we need to eradicate those, he said, i'm going to be the one to do it. and today, the cases of getting warm have fallen dramatically from millions to just

a handful. and jimmy carter owns that legacy. and many people know that not just in the us, but as you know said elsewhere. so he will be remembered more than likely for his post presidency, then his actual presence that he really had a concrete effect on people possibly to make people's lives. but we're talking what hammers and nails he was out there hammering and nailing, were talking about diseases. so it wasn't these, it wasn't a foundation, it wasn't something where he went around giving speeches for money. his pulse presidency has not been emulated sense. and i think many people look at it against the foil of modern post presidencies, where people do give speeches for a lot of money. they create foundations with questionable donations. and there's where the political line that gets played in there. jimmy carter didn't want any of that, that wasn't really his style in the 1st place, but he could leverage his, his, his, his famous tie his time as a president for something good. and that's, that's what he did. if we could just go back to his time as a president, he was a one time president. he did have very challenging times difficult situations

during his presidency. just tell us a little bit about that a little bit more about those 2 words, inflation and unemployment. that's really what, what hit jimmy carter during his, his time in the oval office and there was an oil bar go there to orland argos. i should say, there are 2 oil crises. there was an oil embargo that hit just before his presidency. inflation was already quite high. americans who have been paying more at the gas pump. that's not good. right? american politics are really based on having cheap gasoline. in many ways. he came in there and this trends continued ends. unemployment grew and grew. so we have the double challenge of higher prices, but also rising unemployment. and it was a time in which us policy really had to shift gears and assess how it was going to deal with this. the way that it manage monetary policy, economic policy was completely different before and after jimmy carter's presidency . and he lived out probably the most difficult period of that. on top of that, we're major shift in the middle east. that often spurred some of these problems, including the revolution in iran,

but also soviet incursions into afghanistan. soviet role in the middle east of the conflict between israel and the air of nations for now all of this relays were coming together during his time and office. and really it reached kristin to a when in 1979, he gave a speech to is very famous. today is called the malays speech, even though he didn't use that word. but he basically diagnose america as having a crisis of confidence. and he said, we become to materialistic, we become, to focus on consumption. we're losing our way. we need to remember optimism and look ahead and, and know that times we're getting better. and he said, we're going to become energy independence. and when you read the speech a day, a lot of it is very even forward looking at a lot of what he said. you could say it's still true today. the energy independence point, definitely stick still today. but he was lampooned for that and it was very much of sticking point from his opponents. who said, we're going to be optimistic that things are going to get better. it's not the americans that are at fault here. it's just everything else that is and that's a simply a simplistic way of looking at it. but basically, instead of diagnosing american saying, you're the problem,

you need to sort of reform yourselves, which is also a very religious message that americans are actually custody hearing. but they didn't want to hear it from jimmy carter and ronald reagan said, ultimately the question that he posed in one of the most famous debates was, are you better offering today than you were 4 years ago when jimmy carter came to office? and most americans could not say that they were, and that probably costs him his presence, eat more than anything else, right? a one time president. but as he was saying, stephen, an incredible legacy in a very much was created by the issue, monetary and look that he did off to absolutely thing office. you know, you, steven busily. thank you so much. and that was for sage from the funeral service. all the session nights president of the us jimmy casa. now to all the stories to l. a. why fi? a slices of baffling. out of control wildfires across the whole los angeles area,
