Tributes are being paid to the former US president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Jimmy Carter, who's died at the age of 100.
He helped broker a peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but his time in office also saw a struggling US economy and a disastrous attempt to free American hostages seized in Iran.
Also on the programme: the president of Trinidad and Tobago has declared a state of emergency across the Caribbean nation; and a study finds that a single cigarette can take 20 minutes off a smoker鈥檚 life expectancy.
