Inauguration of Donald Trump

We broadcast from Washington bringing live the events of the inauguration in the US Capitol. The ceremony, traditionally held outside the US Capitol, has been moved indoors due to a forecast of freezing temperatures with a wind chill of -13C (9F). Earlier Donald Trump and his family attended a church service in the capital.

Officials from the incoming administration say they'll include declaring a “national emergency” at the US-Mexico border and ordering the resumption of construction of the border wall.
