National Day of Mourning set for Carter |
People across the globe on Monday praised, mourned and remembered former President Jimmy Carter as members of his family prepared for a memorial journey from Plains, Georgia, to Atlanta and Washington, D.C., before returning for burial at his home in south Georgia. |
A legacy as a leader and humanitarian: Carter died Sunday at age 100. President Joe Biden declared Jan. 9 a national day of mourning, ordered U.S. flags to fly at half-staff for 30 days and issued an executive order closing all executive departments and agencies of the federal government that day. |
Burial plans: Carter had long said he will be buried in Plains, a hometown he shared with former first lady Rosalynn Carter, and where she was buried in 2023. The burial site will be part of the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. 👉 Follow today's coverage. | Mourners leave flowers and signs outside the Carter Center in honor of 39th President Jimmy Carter on Monday, a day after his death.

Trump loses sexual abuse appeal |
A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a jury's verdict that President-elect Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed columnist E. Jean Carroll and owes her $5 million for doing so. |
Response from Trump: Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesperson, said the American people have reelected Trump and demand a swift dismissal of litigation, including Carroll's lawsuit, adding that Trump will continue to appeal the case. |
The original lawsuit: Carroll sued Trump, claiming he assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s and then hurt her reputation by attacking her allegations as a "con job" in 2022. 👉 We break it down. |
South Korea probes jet crash that killed 179 |
As investigators worked to identify victims and find out what caused the deadliest air disaster on South Korean soil, acting President Choi Sang-mok on Monday ordered an emergency safety inspection of the country's entire airline operation. |
What happened? All 175 passengers and four of the six crew were killed when a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 belly-landed and skidded off the end of the runway at Muan International Airport, erupting in a fireball as it slammed into a wall. Two crew members were pulled out alive. |
What's next: The top priority for now is identifying the victims, supporting their families and treating the two survivors, officials said. 👉 See the latest updates. | Rescuers work Monday near the wreckage of the Jeju Air aircraft that crashed at Muan International Airport in South Korea.
