:04:21. > :04:24.formality was complete but after that any inaugural address that was
:04:25. > :04:30.anything but a continuation of tradition. The 45th President had

:04:33. > :04:37.Today not merely transferring power from one to another, or from one
:04:38. > :04:43.party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington,

:04:49. > :04:55.If the VIPs on the podium were starting to feel uncomfortable,
:04:56. > :04:59.pleasant Trump -- President Trump was just getting started in a very
:05:00. > :05:03.different picture that Barack Obama was leaving behind.
:05:04. > :05:08.Too many of our citizens a different reality exists. Mothers and children
:05:09. > :05:11.trapped in poverty in our inner cities. Rusted out factories
:05:12. > :05:19.scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation. And an
:05:20. > :05:27.education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful
:05:28. > :05:31.students deprived of all knowledge. And the crime and the gangs and the
:05:32. > :05:40.drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so
:05:41. > :05:50.much unrealised potential. This American carnage stops right hip --
:05:51. > :05:53.here and right now. And then a message to the rest of the world,
:05:54. > :05:57.don't look to us to bail you out, we have different priorities now. We
:05:58. > :06:02.assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city
:06:03. > :06:09.in every foreign capital and in every hole of power. From this day
:06:10. > :06:21.forward a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward it's
:06:22. > :06:25.going to be only America first. America first. Economic nationalism
:06:26. > :06:33.would be the order of the day. We will follow two simple rules. Buy
:06:34. > :06:37.American and higher American. And then an appeal for unity couched in
:06:38. > :06:42.these terms. It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will
:06:43. > :06:52.never forget that whether we are black or brown or white we all bleed
:06:53. > :06:56.the same red blood of patriots. But surely if there is one takeout from
:06:57. > :07:01.this inaugural, it is that President Trump fully intends to govern as he
:07:02. > :07:07.campaigned, uncompromisingly. Together we make America stronger
:07:08. > :07:13.again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud
:07:14. > :07:21.again. We will make America safe again. And, yes, together we will
:07:22. > :07:28.make America great again. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless
:07:29. > :07:32.America. Thank you. The crowds were enormous, certainly nothing like
:07:33. > :07:37.they were 80 years ago for Barack Obama's inauguration. But for those
:07:38. > :07:41.who had come this was a day to remember. For others a day to
:07:42. > :07:44.forget. How painful this must have been for Hillary Clinton who polled
:07:45. > :07:48.3 million more votes than Donald Trump though lost the Electoral
:07:49. > :07:52.College. Later the new President would salute the person he
:07:53. > :07:56.vanquished. Let me tell you. There is something I wanted to say because
:07:57. > :08:00.I was very honoured, very, very honoured when I heard that President
:08:01. > :08:05.Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton was coming today. I think it
:08:06. > :08:10.is appropriate to say and I'd like you to stand up. I'd like you to
:08:11. > :08:15.stand up. APPLAUSE
:08:16. > :08:21.After the inauguration ceremony the final act for the Obama Koo. Power
:08:22. > :08:25.had passed, they are now private citizens. A US marine helicopter

:08:32. > :08:34.this morning one final act in the White House for the outgoing
:08:35. > :08:41.President. A handwritten letter to his successor. And then the formal
:08:42. > :08:44.welcome. Barack Obama and Michelle greeting the new occupants of the
:08:45. > :08:50.house, Donald and Milani at Trump, and a gift to the outgoing first
:08:51. > :08:58.Lady from her successor -- Milani at Trump. And pose for posterity, the
:08:59. > :09:02.44th and 45th Presidents together. The ceremonial is over and the
:09:03. > :09:06.gladhanding for the moment is done. Now Donald Trump is making his way
:09:07. > :09:10.along Pennsylvania Avenue back to the White House and the awesome
:09:11. > :09:18.responsibility of being President of the United States of America. And
:09:19. > :09:20.now the real work begins. The parade is another central piece of the
:09:21. > :09:25.pageant on Inauguration Day with military bands marching through the
:09:26. > :09:29.streets. But this being Donald Trump there had to be one surprise, and it
:09:30. > :09:35.came as he was approaching the White House. He got out of the car near
:09:36. > :09:42.the FBI building, but more importantly right across the road
:09:43. > :09:45.from the Trump International hotel. Donald Trump the businessman, and
:09:46. > :09:52.Donald Trump the President seemed to be going hand in hand. The day after
:09:53. > :09:57.his surprise election victory Barack Obama said the world would keep on
:09:58. > :10:02.spinning, the sun would continue to rise. He's right, it has. But this
:10:03. > :10:07.morning, Washington, America, and the rest of the world has woken to
:10:08. > :10:10.an uncertain new dawn. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.
:10:11. > :10:12.As we've seen, tens of thousands of Trump supporters witnessed
:10:13. > :10:14.the billionaire property tycoon's swearing in as President.
:10:15. > :10:20.Away from the ceremony at Capitol Hill though,
:10:21. > :10:22.there were violent clashes between police and protesters
:10:23. > :10:29.Our international correspondent Ian Pannell has spent

:10:39. > :10:41.When American presidents are sworn in, it's usually a time at least to
:10:42. > :10:45.talk about healing divisions, but few have
:10:46. > :10:51.had such divided states to try to reunite.
:10:52. > :10:54.On one side is Team Trump and hundreds of thousands of
:10:55. > :10:58.them turned out from across the land.
:10:59. > :11:05.Once people see, give him a year, they'll see they have more
:11:06. > :11:09.money in their pockets and be like, whoa, this is a good deal, you know?
:11:10. > :11:11.We don't need anybody else talking, blah blah blah.
:11:12. > :11:15.I feel it's like asking President Trump or wishing
:11:16. > :11:17.that he fails is like being on a plane he's piloting
:11:18. > :11:24.He's president, so you've got to hope for the best now.
:11:25. > :11:32.An underground movement of the disillusioned and dispossessed
:11:33. > :11:37.of the country many feel have been forgotten.
:11:38. > :11:40.Emerging to the dawning of a very different day in America.
:11:41. > :11:42.I think it's going to bring a new era of hope
:11:43. > :11:47.The thing I like about Donald Trump is he's an alpha male.
:11:48. > :11:53.As opposed to our previous president commander-in-chief.
:11:54. > :11:55.He is an alpha male, he's a shaker and a mover.
:11:56. > :11:58.He has no other agenda than to do the right thing, basically.
:11:59. > :12:03.Which is pretty much the opposite of what today's protesters think.
:12:04. > :12:08.As they swarmed past a car of Trump supporters.
:12:09. > :12:24.IMHO rump supporter. -- I am a Trump supporter.
:12:25. > :12:28.We are conservative, and love America.
:12:29. > :12:31.You don't think they have a right to object and protest?
:12:32. > :12:34.At the right time, not this, there's no class in this.
:12:35. > :12:39.There was anger on the streets of the capital today, but
:12:40. > :12:42.even more striking was the sense of fear about what the next four years
:12:43. > :12:47.Hundreds of people have converged in Washington, DC to
:12:48. > :12:50.protest the inauguration of Donald Trump.
:12:51. > :12:53.This is a real expression of the anger felt across America by
:12:54. > :12:57.Some of them are objecting to the policies that
:12:58. > :13:01.Others question the very legitimacy of the 45th president.
:13:02. > :13:11.They may have lost the election but don't expect divisions
:13:12. > :13:23.I think there's a lot of people who are vulnerable in our

:13:26. > :13:34.Some businesses were attacked by a small group of protesters.
:13:35. > :13:41.It seems Donald Trump will have to work
:13:42. > :13:43.hard to be president of a United States of America.
:13:44. > :14:02.We can go now to our correspondents James Cook
:14:03. > :14:05.and Laura Trevelyan in Washington who are with the crowds on both
:14:06. > :14:11.Within the past half an hour there has been some violence between
:14:12. > :14:16.protesters and police, what happened was a limousine over in the distance
:14:17. > :14:19.behind the police cars was set ablaze, flames were towering into
:14:20. > :14:24.the air for some time and police moved forward to clear people back.
:14:25. > :14:28.They were spraying spray into the air to move people back and move the
:14:29. > :14:32.media back as well as protesters. Now they have formed a line further
:14:33. > :14:38.down the street. There is still a number of protesters there who are
:14:39. > :14:44.standing their ground. Police have fired some munitions at them as well
:14:45. > :14:48.in the terms of what they call less than lethal munitions, rubber
:14:49. > :14:53.bullets and the like. Flash bangs have been fired in the air too. This
:14:54. > :14:58.has been sporadic through the day, there have been a few clashes around
:14:59. > :15:03.Washington, DC, but broadly speaking most protests have been peaceful.
:15:04. > :15:09.Laura Trevelyan, where you are, where the presidential parade is
:15:10. > :15:12.coming to an end, a lot more peaceful. It has been a lot more
:15:13. > :15:15.peaceful and four Donald Trump supporters this is a moment to
:15:16. > :15:19.celebrate and they have been. They were completely thrilled when their
:15:20. > :15:22.new President got out of the limousine and walked down
:15:23. > :15:26.Pennsylvania Avenue behind me. But I will say, having been to previous
:15:27. > :15:30.presidential inauguration is, the atmosphere here is more subdued, the
:15:31. > :15:34.crowd is not as packed, the viewing stand behind me was not packed to
:15:35. > :15:47.the rafters and I think that is a reflection of
:15:48. > :15:50.America's capital for the women's march on Washington, a march aimed
:15:51. > :15:53.at defending women's rights, particularly reproductive rights in
:15:54. > :15:55.the era of President Donald Trump. Laura Trevelyan and James Cook both
:15:56. > :15:59.in Washington, thank you. The eyes of the world
:16:00. > :16:01.were on Washington today - as Mr Trump set out his vision
:16:02. > :16:04.for his four years as President. His top foreign policy goal,
:16:05. > :16:07.he said, is to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism from the face
:16:08. > :16:09.of the earth.This evening the White House confirmed
:16:10. > :16:11.that the new administration would also develop a new "state
:16:12. > :16:14.of the art" missile defence system. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James
:16:15. > :16:33.Robbins assesses the likely global The world really is watching.
:16:34. > :16:37.Billions of people sharing the ceremonial transfer of power,
:16:38. > :16:39.perhaps the most astonishing in history. Across every continent,
:16:40. > :16:46.people trying to figure out what it could mean for them. Donald Trump's
:16:47. > :16:52.toughest language was directed to the Middle East. Jihadists of
:16:53. > :16:56.so-called Islamic State our target number one, is the new
:16:57. > :17:01.commander-in-chief promised to... Unite the civilised world against
:17:02. > :17:07.radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the
:17:08. > :17:10.face of the earth. And the new administration has announced it will
:17:11. > :17:15.protect America against possible missile attack, from Iran and also
:17:16. > :17:21.North Korea, with a state-of-the-art missile defence system. But what
:17:22. > :17:24.about Syria? Barack Obama allow Russia to take control where and
:17:25. > :17:31.President Trump could start working far more closely with the Kremlin.
:17:32. > :17:36.America's allies worry about the new approach to Russia, particularly of
:17:37. > :17:41.President Trump actively favours Vladimir Putin over Nato and the
:17:42. > :17:47.European Union. Ukraine is a real test. Does Mr Putin feel his
:17:48. > :17:51.intervention there will now cost him less in future? That Donald Trump
:17:52. > :17:56.could soft-pedal on sanctions, favouring partnership, rather than
:17:57. > :18:02.punishment. Donald Trump's deal-making will really be put to
:18:03. > :18:06.the test over international trade. Trump the candidate demonised cheap
:18:07. > :18:12.imports, particularly from China, as the destroyer of American jobs. The
:18:13. > :18:15.Trump White House has now confirmed the US withdrawal from the
:18:16. > :18:19.transpacific partnership and threatens withdrawal from the Nafta
:18:20. > :18:25.deal with America's neighbours too, if renegotiation fails. I'm afraid
:18:26. > :18:32.international affairs are messy and complex, and I suspect that if Trump
:18:33. > :18:38.clings to that I win and you lose kind of mentality, that will cause
:18:39. > :18:43.problems. So in Donald Trump's New World, does Britain stand to win, or
:18:44. > :18:48.lose? The government hopes for an early trade deal with the new
:18:49. > :18:53.anti-EU president, but does his isolationism threatened Britain's
:18:54. > :18:57.wider global interests? We have a deep and -- we have a deep and
:18:58. > :19:02.enduring relationship between the UK and the US, and because it's so deep
:19:03. > :19:08.and so complex it will prosper and I'm quite confident of that in the
:19:09. > :19:11.future. Donald Trump has got to go... But demonstrators today in
:19:12. > :19:16.several British cities were in no doubt. For these protesters outside
:19:17. > :19:20.the American Embassy it's been a bad day, partly made in Britain. The
:19:21. > :19:24.Brexit vote divided the country and it seems to have given strength to
:19:25. > :19:30.Donald Trump, increasing his belief he could win. So on this
:19:31. > :19:34.inauguration day, if global anxiety could be measured, would it be off
:19:35. > :19:38.the scale right now? The new president has it in his power to
:19:39. > :19:43.soothe his opponents' worst fears, but can he do that without betraying
:19:44. > :19:47.his supporters' best hopes? James Robbins, BBC News.
:19:48. > :19:48.Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, joins me
:19:49. > :20:01.We heard earlier in your peach -- piece that Donald Trump pledged to
:20:02. > :20:04.put America first. Was that patriotism, author isolationism?
:20:05. > :20:08.Thing I have learned about covering Donald Trump if he doesn't do
:20:09. > :20:11.pigeonholes very well. There are bits of him that our isolationism,
:20:12. > :20:16.bits of him are very patriotic indeed, what is clear from what he
:20:17. > :20:19.says and what I think we'll kind of cause shudders in certain parts
:20:20. > :20:24.around the world, in Nato countries for example, may be in the Baltic
:20:25. > :20:27.states, Donald Trump saying, the day of hours subsidising your military
:20:28. > :20:32.are gone, the day of us subsidising your industry are gone, we've looked
:20:33. > :20:36.after your immigration and haven't taken care of our own. That all
:20:37. > :20:40.sounds very much like, you know what, your problems are your
:20:41. > :20:44.problems, I've got America's problems to deal with, don't expect
:20:45. > :20:48.me to be the global player. On the other hand, his desire to defeat and
:20:49. > :20:53.crush Islamic State shows that he's still going to be engaged in that
:20:54. > :20:59.particular fight, as we heard there James Robbins' report. So it's a bit
:21:00. > :21:02.of the mixed bag. If people are hoping that Donald Trump is going to
:21:03. > :21:06.come out, be the global player, look forward to going to world meetings
:21:07. > :21:10.of the G-7 and all sorts of other groups, I don't think that's right.
:21:11. > :21:14.I think is much more fixated on sorting out America's problems,
:21:15. > :21:18.infrastructure, housing, all those things he listed that was wrong, and
:21:19. > :21:23.he has set the bar very high for himself. I'm sure many leaders
:21:24. > :21:25.around the world would like to have heard a slightly different message
:21:26. > :21:40.from Donald Trump. What we don't know is
:21:41. > :21:42.whether this is a part of a negotiation. Donald Trump sounding
:21:43. > :21:44.tough, you've got to do this and that, then it becomes a negotiation.
:21:45. > :21:46.That's the experience of this businessman. We don't know how he's
:21:47. > :21:49.going to translate that experience now he's in the White House has
:21:50. > :21:51.President Trump. Jon Sopel in Washington, thank you. We'll have
:21:52. > :21:53.more on events in Washington and the orchid -- the inauguration of

:22:16. > :22:17.Firefighters pulled Gianfilippo Parete from the depths
:22:18. > :22:27.Rescuers keep on working and they bring out his mother, Adriana.
:22:28. > :22:30.She is strong enough to walk on her own.
:22:31. > :22:34.Her daughter, Ludovica, is still inside, she is
:22:35. > :22:40.The children's father escaped the avalanche and raised the alarm.
:22:41. > :22:44.His family and others sheltered under a collapsed ceiling for 40
:22:45. > :22:53.In a nearby village, news of the rescue breaks.
:22:54. > :23:02.She works at the hotel, but wasn't there when the avalanche hit.
:23:03. > :23:11.It is overwhelming to hear finally that there are survivors.
:23:12. > :23:14.On the same street these people embrace.
:23:15. > :23:22.This region has suffered four earthquakes in five months.
:23:23. > :23:26.The rescue has given new momentum to the relief effort.
:23:27. > :23:29.Rescuers know now that they are searching in the right
:23:30. > :23:33.place and they will carry on until everyone is found.
:23:34. > :23:38.James Reynolds, BBC News, central Italy.
:23:39. > :23:40.Hundreds of victims of abuse in children's homes
:23:41. > :23:43.in Northern Ireland should receive an apology and compensation - that's
:23:44. > :23:48.It discovered examples of abuse dating back to the 1920s in homes
:23:49. > :23:50.run both by churches and the government,
:23:51. > :23:57.Many had waited decades for recognition of how
:23:58. > :24:03.childhoods had been lost, of how care was replaced by cruelty,
:24:04. > :24:07.in institutions run by church, state and charities.
:24:08. > :24:10.We were sexually, physically and mentally messed about
:24:11. > :24:20.The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry found failing after failing
:24:21. > :24:22.by the authorities and those who were supposed to be
:24:23. > :24:29.Documented in the report are the crimes of Father Brendan Smyth,
:24:30. > :24:33.a paedophile priest, who indecently assaulted dozens,
:24:34. > :24:38.And the enquiry heard evidence of sexual and physical abuse
:24:39. > :24:47.We therefore recommend that the Northern Ireland Executive,
:24:48. > :24:51.and those who are responsible for each of the institutions
:24:52. > :24:56.where we find systemic failings, should make a public apology.
:24:57. > :24:59.There was also a proposal for compensation for those who have
:25:00. > :25:05.The most important thing is justice, that we have been acknowledged,
:25:06. > :25:09.that this all happened to us as children.
:25:10. > :25:13.The recommendations in this lengthy report are to be passed
:25:14. > :25:15.on to the Northern Ireland Executive at Stormont.
:25:16. > :25:19.But because of the recent collapse of that power-sharing government,
:25:20. > :25:22.there is some concern that on issues like compensation there
:25:23. > :25:29.However, what happened inside institutions has
:25:30. > :25:32.now been recognised, and time has not lessened
:25:33. > :25:43.More now on our main story tonight, the swearing in of Donald J Trump
:25:44. > :25:48.As well as his unusual style on the campaign trail, what sets him
:25:49. > :25:51.apart from all the other 44 is his absence of political
:25:52. > :25:56.So how different will his approach to the presidency be?
:25:57. > :26:01.Here's our world affairs editor, John Simpson.
:26:02. > :26:08.America's past 44 presidents have been a remarkably varied lot.
:26:09. > :26:10.Some noble and decent, some dullards, a few crooks.
:26:11. > :26:15.But how will history regard the 45th?
:26:16. > :26:20.Donald John Trump clearly wants to align himself with
:26:21. > :26:23.America's best, and yet he's different from the others.
:26:24. > :26:25.Unlike them he's got no background either
:26:26. > :26:28.in public service or in military service and he brings a lot of
:26:29. > :26:34.His business practice has been questioned.
:26:35. > :26:37.It's alleged the Russians helped him win the election.
:26:38. > :26:40.He spoke crudely and brutally of winning and his antics
:26:41. > :26:44.were interpreted as mocking the disabled.
:26:45. > :26:49.You've got to see this guy - oh, I don't know what I said.
:26:50. > :26:51.And in spite of all this he's still won.
:26:52. > :26:53.We've still got to see him as a one-off.
:26:54. > :26:56.He doesn't really come across particularly as a Republican.
:26:57. > :27:09.He's been anti-both Houses, both Democrat
:27:10. > :27:10.and Republicans, fighting both sides, really.
:27:11. > :27:12.Should the world be worried about President Trump?
:27:13. > :27:15.I think we should be uneasy for the time being because you can't
:27:16. > :27:19.do anything but look at and take seriously the things he's said on
:27:20. > :27:21.Mr Trump's supporters believe he'll be like the
:27:22. > :27:23.40th President, Ronald Reagan, whose slogan now sounds
:27:24. > :27:34.Reagan was often seen abroad as a dangerous and not very
:27:35. > :27:38.Yet he ended up being regarded as one of America's best
:27:39. > :27:44.The man who may be the next US ambassador to the EU is
:27:45. > :27:47.confident Mr Trump will be a success.
:27:48. > :27:50.I think in his business dealings he's run a firm of some
:27:51. > :27:54.integrity, he's run a political campaign of some success.
:27:55. > :27:57.The people who are dealing with him now on the
:27:58. > :27:59.congressional level, many of whom I know,
:28:00. > :28:03.Republicans control both the House and Senate, are finding him
:28:04. > :28:11.Up to now Donald Trump has often made policy
:28:12. > :28:14.on Twitter at two o'clock in the morning.
:28:15. > :28:18.How will he cope with complicated things like dealing with China?
:28:19. > :28:24.Maybe Mr Trump himself gave us a hint last night.
:28:25. > :28:29.Thank you everybody. Thank you.
:28:30. > :28:45.So, let's get the last word from our North America editor, Jon Sopel,
:28:46. > :28:53.The inaugural parade is taking place. It's just in front of the
:28:54. > :28:56.White House, the family are watching the parade as it passes, President
:28:57. > :29:03.Trump saluting the troops. And later this evening, they will, the Trump
:29:04. > :29:06.family, will be going to a number of special balls, inaugural balls,
:29:07. > :29:12.before the end this extraordinary day with their first night at the
:29:13. > :29:17.White House. Let's get a last word now from our North America editor,
:29:18. > :29:20.Jon Sopel, who is in Washington tonight. Mr Trump will be spending
:29:21. > :29:25.his first night in the White House, when all this is over today. What
:29:26. > :29:30.can we expect from him in the coming days? Action, lots of action, and
:29:31. > :29:36.you saw him there taking the salute as the parade came past will stop
:29:37. > :29:39.we've just heard that the Senate has approved the appointment of the new
:29:40. > :29:43.Defence Secretary, James Mattis, that's the first cabinet position
:29:44. > :29:47.that has got the Senate approval, a vital post given all the uncertainty
:29:48. > :29:51.in the world. And you can't really have a functioning president without
:29:52. > :29:54.his Defence Secretary by his side. That has just happened. You will see
:29:55. > :29:59.executive orders on all sorts of things. We heard a bit of it in
:30:00. > :30:06.James Robbins' report. If you think of the slogans, we are going to rip
:30:07. > :30:09.up the trade deals, so he's formally announcing that America is going to
:30:10. > :30:10.pull out of the transpacific partnership, that it is seeking to
:30:11. > :30:15.renegotiate the North American free-trade area, the agreement with
:30:16. > :30:19.Canada and Mexico. You can remember the kind of build the wall slogan,
:30:20. > :30:22.well, there's going to be action probably taken on immigration quite
:30:23. > :30:26.quickly to expel illegal immigrants from the country, and there will be
:30:27. > :30:31.other measures as well. Another slogan we heard a lot of during the
:30:32. > :30:35.campaign was, draining the swamp. It may be that we are about to hear
:30:36. > :30:39.there will be a freeze on new federal employees, and also perhaps
:30:40. > :30:44.term limits for congressmen and women, so they can't just carry on.
:30:45. > :30:49.Change is coming to Washington. Donald Trump will want to see that
:30:50. > :30:50.it's happening quickly. We shall be watching, Jon Sopel in Washington,
:30:51. > :30:54.thank you very much. Newsnight's underway on BBC Two,
:30:55. > :30:56.with Emily Maitlis in Washington. From us though, it's goodnight,
:30:57. > :30:59.and we'll leave you with some of the defining images from this
:31:00. > :31:01.historic day. # Whose broad striped
:31:02. > :31:26.and bright stars The office of President
:31:27. > :31:51.of the United States. The office of President of
:31:52. > :31:55.the United States. From this day forward it's
:31:56. > :32:22.going to be only America # O'er the land of the free
:32:23. > :32:32.And the home of the brave #.
