I Donald John Trump do solemnly swear.

:00:00.:00:00.

The office of President of the United States.

:00:07.:00:19.

Donald Trump takes his oath of office and is now the 45th

:00:20.:00:22.

Hundreds of thousands of people gather to watch the ceremony

:00:23.:00:28.

in which Mr Trump vows to create a new America.

:00:29.:00:34.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

:00:35.:00:38.

From this day forward it's going to be only

:00:39.:00:44.

Among Mr Trump's supporters who gathered to watch,

:00:45.:00:52.

it's a day that signals a real change.

:00:53.:00:59.

Once people see, give him a year, they'll see they'll have more money

:01:00.:01:02.

in their pockets and they'll be like, whoa, this is a good deal,

:01:03.:01:05.

There's violence from some anti Trump protestors - 90 are arrested.

:01:06.:01:09.

Others make their point more peacefully.

:01:10.:01:11.

I think there's a lot of people in our country who are vulnerable

:01:12.:01:14.

who are going to suffer under this presidency.

for the first time. Donald Trump is now the President

:01:47.:02:01.

of the United States. He was sworn in on Capitol Hill

:02:02.:02:09.

in a ceremony that attracted hundreds of thousands of supporters

:02:10.:02:12.

but also angry protests - In an uncompromising

:02:13.:02:15.

inauguration speech, he pledged to put America first,

reports from Washington. The ceremony and celebrations are

:02:36.:02:49.

still going on tonight, aren't they? Yes, and if you can hear behind with

:02:50.:02:52.

the sound of brass bands that part of the parade making their way along

:02:53.:02:57.

Pennsylvania Avenue. Brass bands, bagpipes, flute bands, people on

:02:58.:03:02.

horseback, some riding motorcycles and of course from different

:03:03.:03:05.

branches of the military as well. This is a fiercely proud republic,

:03:06.:03:11.

but it almost looks like a royal inauguration that is taking place

:03:12.:03:12.

today. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the

:03:13.:03:21.

President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump. A scenario few

:03:22.:03:25.

scarcely thought possible, the billionaire reality TV host about to

:03:26.:03:27.

become commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation on earth.

:03:28.:03:32.

:03:33.:03:38.

It's a ceremony going back over 200 years that has changed little in

:03:39.:03:41.

that time. I Donald John Trump do solemnly

:03:42.:03:46.

swear. But I will faithfully execute. That I will faithfully

:03:47.:03:54.

execute. The office of President of the United States. The office of

:03:55.:03:57.

President of the United States. And will do the best of my ability. And

:03:58.:04:02.

will to the best of my ability. Preserve, protect and defend. The

:04:03.:04:10.

constitution of the United States. The Constitution of the United

:04:11.:04:15.

States. So help me God. So help me God. With those 35 words the

:04:16.:04:20.

formality was complete but after that any inaugural address that was

:04:21.:04:24.

anything but a continuation of tradition. The 45th President had

:04:25.:04:30.

won a mandate to be a disrupter of politics as normal.

:04:31.:04:32.

Today not merely transferring power from one to another, or from one

:04:33.:04:37.

party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington,

:04:38.:04:43.

DC and giving it back to you, the people.

:04:44.:04:48.

If the VIPs on the podium were starting to feel uncomfortable,

:04:49.:04:55.

pleasant Trump -- President Trump was just getting started in a very

:04:56.:04:59.

different picture that Barack Obama was leaving behind.

:05:00.:05:03.

Too many of our citizens a different reality exists. Mothers and children

:05:04.:05:08.

trapped in poverty in our inner cities. Rusted out factories

:05:09.:05:11.

scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation. And an

:05:12.:05:19.

education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful

:05:20.:05:27.

students deprived of all knowledge. And the crime and the gangs and the

:05:28.:05:31.

drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so

:05:32.:05:40.

much unrealised potential. This American carnage stops right hip --

:05:41.:05:50.

here and right now. And then a message to the rest of the world,

:05:51.:05:53.

don't look to us to bail you out, we have different priorities now. We

:05:54.:05:57.

assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city

:05:58.:06:02.

in every foreign capital and in every hole of power. From this day

:06:03.:06:09.

forward a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward it's

:06:10.:06:21.

going to be only America first. America first. Economic nationalism

:06:22.:06:25.

would be the order of the day. We will follow two simple rules. Buy

:06:26.:06:33.

American and higher American. And then an appeal for unity couched in

:06:34.:06:37.

these terms. It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will

:06:38.:06:42.

never forget that whether we are black or brown or white we all bleed

:06:43.:06:52.

the same red blood of patriots. But surely if there is one takeout from

:06:53.:06:56.

this inaugural, it is that President Trump fully intends to govern as he

:06:57.:07:01.

campaigned, uncompromisingly. Together we make America stronger

:07:02.:07:07.

again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud

:07:08.:07:13.

again. We will make America safe again. And, yes, together we will

:07:14.:07:21.

make America great again. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless

:07:22.:07:28.

America. Thank you. The crowds were enormous, certainly nothing like

:07:29.:07:32.

they were 80 years ago for Barack Obama's inauguration. But for those

:07:33.:07:37.

who had come this was a day to remember. For others a day to

:07:38.:07:41.

forget. How painful this must have been for Hillary Clinton who polled

:07:42.:07:44.

3 million more votes than Donald Trump though lost the Electoral

:07:45.:07:48.

College. Later the new President would salute the person he

:07:49.:07:52.

vanquished. Let me tell you. There is something I wanted to say because

:07:53.:07:56.

I was very honoured, very, very honoured when I heard that President

:07:57.:08:00.

Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton was coming today. I think it

:08:01.:08:05.

is appropriate to say and I'd like you to stand up. I'd like you to

:08:06.:08:10.

stand up. APPLAUSE

:08:11.:08:15.

After the inauguration ceremony the final act for the Obama Koo. Power

:08:16.:08:21.

had passed, they are now private citizens. A US marine helicopter

:08:22.:08:25.

standing by to ferry them out of the city to start a new life. Earlier

:08:26.:08:31.

this morning one final act in the White House for the outgoing

:08:32.:08:34.

President. A handwritten letter to his successor. And then the formal

:08:35.:08:41.

welcome. Barack Obama and Michelle greeting the new occupants of the

:08:42.:08:44.

house, Donald and Milani at Trump, and a gift to the outgoing first

:08:45.:08:50.

Lady from her successor -- Milani at Trump. And pose for posterity, the

:08:51.:08:58.

44th and 45th Presidents together. The ceremonial is over and the

:08:59.:09:02.

gladhanding for the moment is done. Now Donald Trump is making his way

:09:03.:09:06.

along Pennsylvania Avenue back to the White House and the awesome

:09:07.:09:10.

responsibility of being President of the United States of America. And

:09:11.:09:18.

now the real work begins. The parade is another central piece of the

:09:19.:09:20.

pageant on Inauguration Day with military bands marching through the

:09:21.:09:25.

streets. But this being Donald Trump there had to be one surprise, and it

:09:26.:09:29.

came as he was approaching the White House. He got out of the car near

:09:30.:09:35.

the FBI building, but more importantly right across the road

:09:36.:09:42.

from the Trump International hotel. Donald Trump the businessman, and

:09:43.:09:45.

Donald Trump the President seemed to be going hand in hand. The day after

:09:46.:09:52.

his surprise election victory Barack Obama said the world would keep on

:09:53.:09:57.

spinning, the sun would continue to rise. He's right, it has. But this

:09:58.:10:02.

morning, Washington, America, and the rest of the world has woken to

:10:03.:10:07.

an uncertain new dawn. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.

:10:08.:10:10.

As we've seen, tens of thousands of Trump supporters witnessed

:10:11.:10:12.

the billionaire property tycoon's swearing in as President.

:10:13.:10:14.

Away from the ceremony at Capitol Hill though,

:10:15.:10:20.

there were violent clashes between police and protesters

:10:21.:10:22.

Our international correspondent Ian Pannell has spent

:10:23.:10:29.

the day with people, on both sides of the argument.

:10:30.:10:32.

# Every little thing is going to be all right #.

:10:33.:10:38.

When American presidents are sworn in, it's usually a time at least to

:10:39.:10:41.

talk about healing divisions, but few have

:10:42.:10:45.

had such divided states to try to reunite.

:10:46.:10:51.

On one side is Team Trump and hundreds of thousands of

:10:52.:10:54.

them turned out from across the land.

:10:55.:10:58.

Once people see, give him a year, they'll see they have more

:10:59.:11:05.

money in their pockets and be like, whoa, this is a good deal, you know?

:11:06.:11:09.

We don't need anybody else talking, blah blah blah.

:11:10.:11:11.

I feel it's like asking President Trump or wishing

:11:12.:11:15.

that he fails is like being on a plane he's piloting

:11:16.:11:17.

He's president, so you've got to hope for the best now.

:11:18.:11:24.

An underground movement of the disillusioned and dispossessed

:11:25.:11:32.

of the country many feel have been forgotten.

:11:33.:11:37.

Emerging to the dawning of a very different day in America.

:11:38.:11:40.

I think it's going to bring a new era of hope

:11:41.:11:42.

The thing I like about Donald Trump is he's an alpha male.

:11:43.:11:47.

As opposed to our previous president commander-in-chief.

:11:48.:11:53.

He is an alpha male, he's a shaker and a mover.

:11:54.:11:55.

He has no other agenda than to do the right thing, basically.

:11:56.:11:58.

Which is pretty much the opposite of what today's protesters think.

:11:59.:12:03.

As they swarmed past a car of Trump supporters.

:12:04.:12:08.

IMHO rump supporter. -- I am a Trump supporter.

:12:09.:12:24.

We are conservative, and love America.

:12:25.:12:28.

You don't think they have a right to object and protest?

:12:29.:12:31.

At the right time, not this, there's no class in this.

:12:32.:12:34.

There was anger on the streets of the capital today, but

:12:35.:12:39.

even more striking was the sense of fear about what the next four years

:12:40.:12:42.

Hundreds of people have converged in Washington, DC to

:12:43.:12:47.

protest the inauguration of Donald Trump.

:12:48.:12:50.

This is a real expression of the anger felt across America by

:12:51.:12:53.

Some of them are objecting to the policies that

:12:54.:12:57.

Others question the very legitimacy of the 45th president.

:12:58.:13:01.

They may have lost the election but don't expect divisions

:13:02.:13:11.

I think there's a lot of people who are vulnerable in our

:13:12.:13:23.

country who are going to suffer under this presidency.

:13:24.:13:25.

Some businesses were attacked by a small group of protesters.

:13:26.:13:34.

It seems Donald Trump will have to work

:13:35.:13:41.

hard to be president of a United States of America.

:13:42.:13:43.

We can go now to our correspondents James Cook

:13:44.:14:02.

and Laura Trevelyan in Washington who are with the crowds on both

:14:03.:14:05.

Within the past half an hour there has been some violence between

:14:06.:14:11.

protesters and police, what happened was a limousine over in the distance

:14:12.:14:16.

behind the police cars was set ablaze, flames were towering into

:14:17.:14:19.

the air for some time and police moved forward to clear people back.

:14:20.:14:24.

They were spraying spray into the air to move people back and move the

:14:25.:14:28.

media back as well as protesters. Now they have formed a line further

:14:29.:14:32.

down the street. There is still a number of protesters there who are

:14:33.:14:38.

standing their ground. Police have fired some munitions at them as well

:14:39.:14:44.

in the terms of what they call less than lethal munitions, rubber

:14:45.:14:48.

bullets and the like. Flash bangs have been fired in the air too. This

:14:49.:14:53.

has been sporadic through the day, there have been a few clashes around

:14:54.:14:58.

Washington, DC, but broadly speaking most protests have been peaceful.

:14:59.:15:03.

Laura Trevelyan, where you are, where the presidential parade is

:15:04.:15:09.

coming to an end, a lot more peaceful. It has been a lot more

:15:10.:15:12.

peaceful and four Donald Trump supporters this is a moment to

:15:13.:15:15.

celebrate and they have been. They were completely thrilled when their

:15:16.:15:19.

new President got out of the limousine and walked down

:15:20.:15:22.

Pennsylvania Avenue behind me. But I will say, having been to previous

:15:23.:15:26.

presidential inauguration is, the atmosphere here is more subdued, the

:15:27.:15:30.

crowd is not as packed, the viewing stand behind me was not packed to

:15:31.:15:34.

the rafters and I think that is a reflection of

:15:35.:15:47.

America's capital for the women's march on Washington, a march aimed

:15:48.:15:50.

at defending women's rights, particularly reproductive rights in

:15:51.:15:53.

the era of President Donald Trump. Laura Trevelyan and James Cook both

:15:54.:15:55.

in Washington, thank you. The eyes of the world

:15:56.:15:59.

were on Washington today - as Mr Trump set out his vision

:16:00.:16:01.

for his four years as President. His top foreign policy goal,

:16:02.:16:04.

he said, is to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism from the face

:16:05.:16:07.

of the earth.This evening the White House confirmed

:16:08.:16:09.

that the new administration would also develop a new "state

:16:10.:16:11.

of the art" missile defence system. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James

:16:12.:16:14.

Robbins assesses the likely global The world really is watching.

:16:15.:16:33.

Billions of people sharing the ceremonial transfer of power,

:16:34.:16:37.

perhaps the most astonishing in history. Across every continent,

:16:38.:16:39.

people trying to figure out what it could mean for them. Donald Trump's

:16:40.:16:46.

toughest language was directed to the Middle East. Jihadists of

:16:47.:16:52.

so-called Islamic State our target number one, is the new

:16:53.:16:56.

commander-in-chief promised to... Unite the civilised world against

:16:57.:17:01.

radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the

:17:02.:17:07.

face of the earth. And the new administration has announced it will

:17:08.:17:10.

protect America against possible missile attack, from Iran and also

:17:11.:17:15.

North Korea, with a state-of-the-art missile defence system. But what

:17:16.:17:21.

about Syria? Barack Obama allow Russia to take control where and

:17:22.:17:24.

President Trump could start working far more closely with the Kremlin.

:17:25.:17:31.

America's allies worry about the new approach to Russia, particularly of

:17:32.:17:36.

President Trump actively favours Vladimir Putin over Nato and the

:17:37.:17:41.

European Union. Ukraine is a real test. Does Mr Putin feel his

:17:42.:17:47.

intervention there will now cost him less in future? That Donald Trump

:17:48.:17:51.

could soft-pedal on sanctions, favouring partnership, rather than

:17:52.:17:56.

punishment. Donald Trump's deal-making will really be put to

:17:57.:18:02.

the test over international trade. Trump the candidate demonised cheap

:18:03.:18:06.

imports, particularly from China, as the destroyer of American jobs. The

:18:07.:18:12.

Trump White House has now confirmed the US withdrawal from the

:18:13.:18:15.

transpacific partnership and threatens withdrawal from the Nafta

:18:16.:18:19.

deal with America's neighbours too, if renegotiation fails. I'm afraid

:18:20.:18:25.

international affairs are messy and complex, and I suspect that if Trump

:18:26.:18:32.

clings to that I win and you lose kind of mentality, that will cause

:18:33.:18:38.

problems. So in Donald Trump's New World, does Britain stand to win, or

:18:39.:18:43.

lose? The government hopes for an early trade deal with the new

:18:44.:18:48.

anti-EU president, but does his isolationism threatened Britain's

:18:49.:18:53.

wider global interests? We have a deep and -- we have a deep and

:18:54.:18:57.

enduring relationship between the UK and the US, and because it's so deep

:18:58.:19:02.

and so complex it will prosper and I'm quite confident of that in the

:19:03.:19:08.

future. Donald Trump has got to go... But demonstrators today in

:19:09.:19:11.

several British cities were in no doubt. For these protesters outside

:19:12.:19:16.

the American Embassy it's been a bad day, partly made in Britain. The

:19:17.:19:20.

Brexit vote divided the country and it seems to have given strength to

:19:21.:19:24.

Donald Trump, increasing his belief he could win. So on this

:19:25.:19:30.

inauguration day, if global anxiety could be measured, would it be off

:19:31.:19:34.

the scale right now? The new president has it in his power to

:19:35.:19:38.

soothe his opponents' worst fears, but can he do that without betraying

:19:39.:19:43.

his supporters' best hopes? James Robbins, BBC News.

:19:44.:19:47.

Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, joins me

:19:48.:19:48.

We heard earlier in your peach -- piece that Donald Trump pledged to

:19:49.:20:01.

put America first. Was that patriotism, author isolationism?

:20:02.:20:04.

Thing I have learned about covering Donald Trump if he doesn't do

:20:05.:20:08.

pigeonholes very well. There are bits of him that our isolationism,

:20:09.:20:11.

bits of him are very patriotic indeed, what is clear from what he

:20:12.:20:16.

says and what I think we'll kind of cause shudders in certain parts

:20:17.:20:19.

around the world, in Nato countries for example, may be in the Baltic

:20:20.:20:24.

states, Donald Trump saying, the day of hours subsidising your military

:20:25.:20:27.

are gone, the day of us subsidising your industry are gone, we've looked

:20:28.:20:32.

after your immigration and haven't taken care of our own. That all

:20:33.:20:36.

sounds very much like, you know what, your problems are your

:20:37.:20:40.

problems, I've got America's problems to deal with, don't expect

:20:41.:20:44.

me to be the global player. On the other hand, his desire to defeat and

:20:45.:20:48.

crush Islamic State shows that he's still going to be engaged in that

:20:49.:20:53.

particular fight, as we heard there James Robbins' report. So it's a bit

:20:54.:20:59.

of the mixed bag. If people are hoping that Donald Trump is going to

:21:00.:21:02.

come out, be the global player, look forward to going to world meetings

:21:03.:21:06.

of the G-7 and all sorts of other groups, I don't think that's right.

:21:07.:21:10.

I think is much more fixated on sorting out America's problems,

:21:11.:21:14.

infrastructure, housing, all those things he listed that was wrong, and

:21:15.:21:18.

he has set the bar very high for himself. I'm sure many leaders

:21:19.:21:23.

around the world would like to have heard a slightly different message

:21:24.:21:25.

from Donald Trump. What we don't know is

:21:26.:21:40.

whether this is a part of a negotiation. Donald Trump sounding

:21:41.:21:42.

tough, you've got to do this and that, then it becomes a negotiation.

:21:43.:21:44.

That's the experience of this businessman. We don't know how he's

:21:45.:21:46.

going to translate that experience now he's in the White House has

:21:47.:21:49.

President Trump. Jon Sopel in Washington, thank you. We'll have

:21:50.:21:51.

more on events in Washington and the orchid -- the inauguration of

:21:52.:21:53.

President Trump, later in the programme.

:21:54.:21:57.

Let's take a look at some of the other day's news.

:21:58.:21:59.

After almost two days buried under snow and rubble,

:22:00.:22:02.

ten people have been found alive - including two young girls -

:22:03.:22:05.

inside a hotel hit by an avalanche in central Italy.

:22:06.:22:07.

At least 25 staff and guests are still missing.

:22:08.:22:09.

Four people are known to have died, as James Reynolds reports.

:22:10.:22:12.

This is what it feels like to come back to life.

:22:13.:22:15.

Firefighters pulled Gianfilippo Parete from the depths

:22:16.:22:17.

Rescuers keep on working and they bring out his mother, Adriana.

:22:18.:22:27.

She is strong enough to walk on her own.

:22:28.:22:30.

Her daughter, Ludovica, is still inside, she is

:22:31.:22:34.

The children's father escaped the avalanche and raised the alarm.

:22:35.:22:40.

His family and others sheltered under a collapsed ceiling for 40

:22:41.:22:44.

In a nearby village, news of the rescue breaks.

:22:45.:22:53.

She works at the hotel, but wasn't there when the avalanche hit.

:22:54.:23:02.

It is overwhelming to hear finally that there are survivors.

:23:03.:23:11.

On the same street these people embrace.

:23:12.:23:14.

This region has suffered four earthquakes in five months.

:23:15.:23:22.

The rescue has given new momentum to the relief effort.

:23:23.:23:26.

Rescuers know now that they are searching in the right

:23:27.:23:29.

place and they will carry on until everyone is found.

:23:30.:23:33.

James Reynolds, BBC News, central Italy.

:23:34.:23:38.

Hundreds of victims of abuse in children's homes

:23:39.:23:40.

in Northern Ireland should receive an apology and compensation - that's

:23:41.:23:43.

It discovered examples of abuse dating back to the 1920s in homes

:23:44.:23:48.

run both by churches and the government,

:23:49.:23:50.

Many had waited decades for recognition of how

:23:51.:23:57.

childhoods had been lost, of how care was replaced by cruelty,

:23:58.:24:03.

in institutions run by church, state and charities.

:24:04.:24:07.

We were sexually, physically and mentally messed about

:24:08.:24:10.

The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry found failing after failing

:24:11.:24:20.

by the authorities and those who were supposed to be

:24:21.:24:22.

Documented in the report are the crimes of Father Brendan Smyth,

:24:23.:24:29.

a paedophile priest, who indecently assaulted dozens,

:24:30.:24:33.

And the enquiry heard evidence of sexual and physical abuse

:24:34.:24:38.

We therefore recommend that the Northern Ireland Executive,

:24:39.:24:47.

and those who are responsible for each of the institutions

:24:48.:24:51.

where we find systemic failings, should make a public apology.

:24:52.:24:56.

There was also a proposal for compensation for those who have

:24:57.:24:59.

The most important thing is justice, that we have been acknowledged,

:25:00.:25:05.

that this all happened to us as children.

:25:06.:25:09.

The recommendations in this lengthy report are to be passed

:25:10.:25:13.

on to the Northern Ireland Executive at Stormont.

:25:14.:25:15.

But because of the recent collapse of that power-sharing government,

:25:16.:25:19.

there is some concern that on issues like compensation there

:25:20.:25:22.

However, what happened inside institutions has

:25:23.:25:29.

now been recognised, and time has not lessened

:25:30.:25:32.

More now on our main story tonight, the swearing in of Donald J Trump

:25:33.:25:43.

As well as his unusual style on the campaign trail, what sets him

:25:44.:25:48.

apart from all the other 44 is his absence of political

:25:49.:25:51.

So how different will his approach to the presidency be?

:25:52.:25:56.

Here's our world affairs editor, John Simpson.

:25:57.:26:01.

America's past 44 presidents have been a remarkably varied lot.

:26:02.:26:08.

Some noble and decent, some dullards, a few crooks.

:26:09.:26:10.

But how will history regard the 45th?

:26:11.:26:15.

Donald John Trump clearly wants to align himself with

:26:16.:26:20.

America's best, and yet he's different from the others.

:26:21.:26:23.

Unlike them he's got no background either

:26:24.:26:25.

in public service or in military service and he brings a lot of

:26:26.:26:28.

His business practice has been questioned.

:26:29.:26:34.

It's alleged the Russians helped him win the election.

:26:35.:26:37.

He spoke crudely and brutally of winning and his antics

:26:38.:26:40.

were interpreted as mocking the disabled.

:26:41.:26:44.

You've got to see this guy - oh, I don't know what I said.

:26:45.:26:49.

And in spite of all this he's still won.

:26:50.:26:51.

We've still got to see him as a one-off.

:26:52.:26:53.

He doesn't really come across particularly as a Republican.

:26:54.:26:56.

He's been anti-both Houses, both Democrat

:26:57.:27:09.

and Republicans, fighting both sides, really.

:27:10.:27:10.

Should the world be worried about President Trump?

:27:11.:27:12.

I think we should be uneasy for the time being because you can't

:27:13.:27:15.

do anything but look at and take seriously the things he's said on

:27:16.:27:19.

Mr Trump's supporters believe he'll be like the

:27:20.:27:21.

40th President, Ronald Reagan, whose slogan now sounds

:27:22.:27:23.

Reagan was often seen abroad as a dangerous and not very

:27:24.:27:34.

Yet he ended up being regarded as one of America's best

:27:35.:27:38.

The man who may be the next US ambassador to the EU is

:27:39.:27:44.

confident Mr Trump will be a success.

:27:45.:27:47.

I think in his business dealings he's run a firm of some

:27:48.:27:50.

integrity, he's run a political campaign of some success.

:27:51.:27:54.

The people who are dealing with him now on the

:27:55.:27:57.

congressional level, many of whom I know,

:27:58.:27:59.

Republicans control both the House and Senate, are finding him

:28:00.:28:03.

Up to now Donald Trump has often made policy

:28:04.:28:11.

on Twitter at two o'clock in the morning.

:28:12.:28:14.

How will he cope with complicated things like dealing with China?

:28:15.:28:18.

Maybe Mr Trump himself gave us a hint last night.

:28:19.:28:24.

Thank you everybody. Thank you.

:28:25.:28:29.

So, let's get the last word from our North America editor, Jon Sopel,

:28:30.:28:45.

The inaugural parade is taking place. It's just in front of the

:28:46.:28:53.

White House, the family are watching the parade as it passes, President

:28:54.:28:56.

Trump saluting the troops. And later this evening, they will, the Trump

:28:57.:29:03.

family, will be going to a number of special balls, inaugural balls,

:29:04.:29:06.

before the end this extraordinary day with their first night at the

:29:07.:29:12.

White House. Let's get a last word now from our North America editor,

:29:13.:29:17.

Jon Sopel, who is in Washington tonight. Mr Trump will be spending

:29:18.:29:20.

his first night in the White House, when all this is over today. What

:29:21.:29:25.

can we expect from him in the coming days? Action, lots of action, and

:29:26.:29:30.

you saw him there taking the salute as the parade came past will stop

:29:31.:29:36.

we've just heard that the Senate has approved the appointment of the new

:29:37.:29:39.

Defence Secretary, James Mattis, that's the first cabinet position

:29:40.:29:43.

that has got the Senate approval, a vital post given all the uncertainty

:29:44.:29:47.

in the world. And you can't really have a functioning president without

:29:48.:29:51.

his Defence Secretary by his side. That has just happened. You will see

:29:52.:29:54.

executive orders on all sorts of things. We heard a bit of it in

:29:55.:29:59.

James Robbins' report. If you think of the slogans, we are going to rip

:30:00.:30:06.

up the trade deals, so he's formally announcing that America is going to

:30:07.:30:09.

pull out of the transpacific partnership, that it is seeking to

:30:10.:30:10.

renegotiate the North American free-trade area, the agreement with

:30:11.:30:15.

Canada and Mexico. You can remember the kind of build the wall slogan,

:30:16.:30:19.

well, there's going to be action probably taken on immigration quite

:30:20.:30:22.

quickly to expel illegal immigrants from the country, and there will be

:30:23.:30:26.

other measures as well. Another slogan we heard a lot of during the

:30:27.:30:31.

campaign was, draining the swamp. It may be that we are about to hear

:30:32.:30:35.

there will be a freeze on new federal employees, and also perhaps

:30:36.:30:39.

term limits for congressmen and women, so they can't just carry on.

:30:40.:30:44.

Change is coming to Washington. Donald Trump will want to see that

:30:45.:30:49.

it's happening quickly. We shall be watching, Jon Sopel in Washington,

:30:50.:30:50.

thank you very much. Newsnight's underway on BBC Two,

:30:51.:30:54.

with Emily Maitlis in Washington. From us though, it's goodnight,

:30:55.:30:56.

and we'll leave you with some of the defining images from this

:30:57.:30:59.

historic day. # Whose broad striped

:31:00.:31:01.

and bright stars The office of President

:31:02.:31:26.

of the United States. The office of President of

:31:27.:31:51.

the United States. From this day forward it's

:31:52.:31:55.

going to be only America # O'er the land of the free

:31:56.:32:22.

And the home of the brave #.
