but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first. we do not seek to impose our way of life on anybody. but rather to let it shine as an example we will shine. for everyone to follow. we will reinforce old alliances and form new ones. and unite the civilised world against the radical, islamic terrorism. which will we eradicate completely from the face of the earth. applause when america is united, america is totally u nstoppa ble. there should be no fear, we are protected, and we will

always be protected. we will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement. and most importantly... applause ..we will be protected by god. applause finally, we must think big and dream even bigger. in america we understand a nation is only living as long as it is striving. we will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining, but never doing anything about it. applause the time for empty talk is over. now arrives the hour of action. do not allow anyone

to tell you that it cannot be done. no challenge can match the heart and pride and spirit of america. we will not fail. our country will thrive and prosper again. so to all americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words. you will never be ignored again. applause your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our american destiny. your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way. together, we will make america strong again.

we will make america wealthy again. we will make america proud again. we will make america safe again. and, yes, together we will make america great ain! thank you, god bless you. and god bless america! thank you. god bless america. donald trump there delivering an inaugural address 20 minutes long, directed clearly at his supporters and his followers, the people he called the forgotten americans. he talked about a transfer of power from washington, dc to the rest of the country, getting people back their power. but this was also a strongly nationalist

speech. he talked about making an america great again. he said that there will be a new decree for every foreign capital, a new vision that will govern our land from this day forward , will govern our land from this day forward, it is going to be only america first. he talked about total allegiance to the united states of america. about having hearts full of patriotism. this was an address to the people who support him, the people he calls the forgotten americans, and a strong nationalist call for a america's role in the world. mr president, in the bible, rain is a sign of god's blessing, and it started to rain, mr president, when you came to the platform. and it is my prayer that will bless you, your family, your administration, and may

he bless america. the passage of scripture comes from first timothy, chapter scripture comes from first timothy, cha pter two scripture comes from first timothy, chapter two — i urge them first of all that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people. for kings, all of those in authority, that we may live peaceful, quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. this is good, and it pleases god our saviour, who wants all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth, for there is one god and one mediator between god and mankind, the man, christjesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. now to the king paternal, and mortal, invisible, the only god, may

honour and glory for ever and ever injesus honour and glory for ever and ever in jesus name, honour and glory for ever and ever injesus name, our —— amen. # 0h, say can you see # by the dawn‘s early light, # what so proudly we hailed # at the twilights last gleaming? american national anthem plays

so, there we have it, the official inauguration ceremony is now over. donald trump, 45th president of united states, the inauguration stand. he goes first now. his wife, melania, will follow. president 0bama now follows donald trump, former president 0bama now. there he is, donald trump. property

billionaire, havingjust is, donald trump. property billionaire, having just given the inaugural speech promising to change america. promising to big backjobs in america, promising that in everything it will be america american workers first. jon sopel, quite a speech. quite a speech, and i think we've heard so often an inaugural address which is very carefully modulated and a kind of... conciliatory speech. and i don't know why we thought that donald trump would do a standard political speech. he delivered a more polished version of the way he has campaigned throughout the country these past 18 months, and has sought to say, you know what, the way you saw me campaigning is the way i'm going to govern. carlos watson, republican strategist and media consultant too, i listened to that speech and i imagine many people around the world

and audiences in the uk, europe and asia, those watching, millions watching the speech, will have heard the message from donald trump, every single decision we make will now be about america first. what was interesting, you know, we acknowledged president 0bama cut the unemployment rate in half, sub 5%, but what is hidden is some 9 million people who are believed to have dropped out of the workforce and are not being counted in that number, so there is a meaningfuljoblessness problem and certainly there is a wage issue as well, so there will be opportunities. will he be challenged with questions of technology and trade at immigration? even a trade war? no doubt about it. the world says goodbye to barack 0bama, the [mt h says goodbye to barack 0bama, the 44th president of the united states, he has been in office for eight yea rs, he has been in office for eight years, immensely popular around the world, barack 0bama, he turns and

waves goodbye and that is it, the last we see of barack 0bama in washington. he will fly now to andrews air force base. he will say goodbye to his staff. he is leaving office. the new man is coming back into the capitol building and that is it, he is alone now, he doesn't have barack is it, he is alone now, he doesn't have ba rack 0bama is it, he is alone now, he doesn't have barack 0bama at his side any more, he is the 40th president of the united states and all of the decisions and cares of his office are on his shoulders. this really has been an extraordinary transition of power in america, an inauguration many thought would never happen, but donaldj many thought would never happen, but donald j trump is many thought would never happen, but donald] trump is the 45th president of the united states. you've been watching this bbc news special of the inauguration of the next president of america. i. i, donaldj i, donald] trump, do solemnly

swear. . . i, donald] trump, do solemnly swear... that i will faithfully execute... the office of president of united states, so help me god. from this day forward, it is going to be only america first. as we start the weekend, high pressure is dominating the scene. quite widespread frost. fog is a bit of a player as well. where we have kept cloud overnight, it will help to keep the temperatures up. that is along the western side, devon to cornwall. eastern england as well in some spots. i don't doubt that on the welsh and english border it

will be —5, —6. more fog in northern ireland. clear skies with widespread frost in scotland. the far north will have more cloud, so frost—free in the northern isles. as we get on through the day, the fog lifting away. a lot of fine and dry weather around. notice this area of cloud coming out of the north sea. a bother initially for the east of england. then it could get to the western side of the midlands. whether you see sunshine or not, not a warm day anywhere across the piste. having said all that, glorious sunshine for the scottish cup fourth round. the premier league fixtures could be cloudy. that cloud is coming in off the north sea. if you are underneath that, it should keep the frost at bay. with the clear skies, we will see more in the way of frost here.

some of this bluejust running up towards the south—west. that's showers coming in from the atlantic. some in the eastern side of england and scotland as well. still a lot of dry weather to be enjoyed. but rather patchwork, the nature of the sunshine and cloud, so no guarantees at this sort of distance as to exactly what kind of day you will get wherever you may be. this is the start of next week. an increasing risk of dense fog. that will slow down your progress on the road. it may impact the airports. getting into the midlands as well. we will keep you posted on the weekend. as far ahead as tuesday before we see the isobars scrunching up. more in the way of a breeze. and perhaps a front in the north—west. take care. a very warm welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to our viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's lebo diseko. our top stories: president donald

trump signs his first executive order in the oval office after taking the oath earlier in the day. to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states, so help me god. congratulations, mr president. tens of thousands gather to watch as mr trump vows to give power to them, to the people. now the fun begins.
