Jimmy Carter on his Georgia peanut farm in 1976
Jimmy Carter: From peanut farmer to one-term president and Nobel winner
WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100, swept to power promising never to lie to the American people.In the turbulent aftermath of Watergate, the former peanut farmer from Georgia pardoned Vietnam draft evaders and became the first US leader to take climate change seriously.On the international stage, he helped to broker a historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, but he struggled to deal with the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.After a single term in office, he was swept aside by Republican Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election, winning just six states.Having left the White House, Carter did much to restore his reputation: becoming a tireless worker for peace, the environment and human rights, for which he was recognized with a Nobel Peace...

Nasa makes history with closest-ever approach to Sun
WASHINGTON — A Nasa spacecraft has made history by surviving the closest-ever approach to the Sun.Scientists received a signal from the Parker Solar Probe just before midnight on Thursday after it had been out of communication for several days during its burning-hot fly-by.Nasa said the probe was "safe" and operating normally after it passed just 3.8 million miles (6.1 million km) from the solar surface.The probe plunged into our star's outer atmosphere on Christmas Eve, enduring brutal temperatures and extreme radiation in a quest to better our understanding of how the Sun works.Nasa then waited nervously for a signal, which had been expected at 05:00 GMT on 28 December.Moving at up to 430,000 mph (692,000 kph), the spacecraft endured temperatures of up to 1,800F (980C),...

US universities urge international students to return to campus before Trump inauguration
WASHINGTON — Fear and uncertainty are spreading across many US college campuses ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s January 20 inauguration, with some schools advising international students to return early from winter break amid promises of another travel ban like the one that stranded students abroad at the start of Trump’s last term.In a country where more than 1.1 million international students enrolled in US colleges and universities during the 2023-24 academic year, the former president has pledged more hardline immigration policies upon his return to the White House, including an expansion of his previous travel ban on people from predominantly Muslim countries and the revocation of student visas of “radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners.”International...

Trump criticizes Biden for commuting death sentences
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump said on Tuesday he will direct the Department of Justice to “vigorously pursue the death penalty” after President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the death sentences of 37 federal inmates to life in prison.“As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.

Spacecraft attempts closest ever approach to Sun
WASHINGTON — A Nasa spacecraft is attempting to make history with the closest ever approach to the Sun.The Parker Solar Probe is plunging into our star's outer atmosphere, enduring brutal temperatures and extreme radiation.It's out of communication for several days during this burning hot fly-by and scientists will be waiting for a signal, expected on 27 December, to see if it has survived.The hope is the probe could help us to better understand how the Sun works.Dr Nicola Fox, head of science at Nasa, told BBC News: "For centuries, people have studied the Sun, but you don't experience the atmosphere of a place until you actually go visit it."And so we can't really experience the atmosphere of our star unless we fly through it."It has already swept past the...
