Good morning. Jimmy Carter dies at 100. South Korea faces its deadliest airplane disaster. And a new poll shows Reform UK’s support surging. Listen to the day’s top stories.

Jimmy Carter has died at age 100. The 39th US president helped broker peace between Israel and Egypt, while serving only a single term marred by high inflation, an oil shortage and Iran’s holding of American hostages. After leaving office, he founded the Carter Center, which has worked to advance human rights, democracy, and global health, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. President Joe Biden said he’ll order a state funeral for the former Democratic president.
