    Former US President Jimmy Carter has died aged 100, the centre he founded has confirmed.

    The former peanut farmer lived longer than any president in history and celebrated his 100th birthday in October.

    The Carter Center, which advocates for democracy and human rights around the world, said he died on Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia, his home town.

    The Democrat served as president from 1977 to 1981, a period beset by economic and diplomatic crises.

    After leaving the White House with low approval ratings, his reputation was restored through humanitarian work which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize.
