Inauguration of Donald Trump

Donald Trump has been sworn in as America's 47th president and JD Vance as his vice-president. Donald Trump is only the second US president ever to serve two non-consecutive terms. We are live in Washington bringing the key moments of the ceremony.

Sub-zero temperatures means the inauguration is being held inside the Capitol building but thousands have been queueing to take their seats in an arena where they can watch on livestream and where he'll visit later on.

Presenter: Nuala McGovern.
