during a wide ranging speech at a rally in washington, he told supporters the united states was about to begin a new era of prosperity, whilst restoring patriotism and law and order. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. # god bless the usa! donald trump is back where he wants to be, reclaiming power. at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of american decline, and we begin a brand new day of american strength and prosperity, dignity and pride. his bombastic style remains a crowd—pleaser. i think someone like trump comes around once in a lifetime. i mean, when you look at the man who, everything was thrown at him, not only

about the impeachment, wanting to, and all the lawfare, and he's still standing. so that says a lot about a man. i think with the 2016 election, when he got elected through 2020, he did a good job, was faced with a very hard challenge with covid. how does anyone deal with that, having never experienced it before? but i think he did the best that he could. time to get some real leadership back in this country. stop bending over backwards for everybody else and bend over backwards for americans. thousands of donald trump supporters are here to celebrate his return to power. this is a happy crowd. unlike four years ago. a mob loyal to trump broke into the us capitol in support of his false claims the 2020 election was stolen. he's promised to pardon those convicted. other big promises include carrying out mass deportations and ending global wars. the weather has forced donald trump's inauguration inside the capitol, the first

time in 25 years. he won't get the crowds he loves to see, so he plans to hold another rally. and we are going to make america great again. this year marks ten years since donald trump first announced his run for the white house, and his return underlines what once seemed impossible. trump has dominated american politics and will continue to for the next four years. donald trump has reaffirmed his commitment to carry out the largest deportation programme in american history. our correspondent will grant has travelled to the mexican—us border city of tijuana to meet some of those in a migrant camp.

these days. immigration raises tempers and brings out votes. for donald trump it proved the winning strategy and he arrived at the white house with the promise of threat, to carry out what he calls the largest deportation in american history. deportation in american histo . , ., deportation in american histo . , . , history. the border security measures _ history. the border security measures i _ history. the border security measures i will— history. the border security measures i will outline - history. the border security measures i will outline in l history. the border security. measures i will outline in my inaugural address and it will be the most aggressive, sweeping effort to restore borders. ., ., , , borders. for migrants stuck in ti'uana, borders. for migrants stuck in tijuana. that _ borders. for migrants stuck in tijuana, that is _ borders. for migrants stuck in tijuana, that is intended - borders. for migrants stuck in tijuana, that is intended as i borders. for migrants stuck in tijuana, that is intended as a l tijuana, that is intended as a warning. some have travelled thousands of dangerous miles to reach this point. others are fleeing cartel violence in mexico itself. with her children she has waited seven months in a shelter to lodge an asylum request. but trump's return, she says, has left her defeated. now we have lost hope of being able to cross, i will

in his last time in office. now he has threatened to deport millions of undocumented people in the united states and people for now are taking him at his word. of all those immediately impacted by mr trump's return to the white house, undocumented immigrants inside the us and waiting at the border perhaps the top of the list. as he delivered his inaugural speech they are bracing themselves for executive orders that will follow and that could radically change the way the country's immigration system is run. with me is longtime immigration reform advocate frank sharry who most recently served as an immigration advisor to kamala harris' campaign. when it comes to what we expect to see, the largest deportation programme in american history, what do you expect? we are thinking about raids, do we know where it will start or is

made on the campaign, what is realistic for him to achieve on this first day, going into the first 100 days as president? immigration is a big issue. there are a lot of aspects, and he wants to make drug cartels in mexico, wants to classify them as terrorist organisations. he wants to shut the border. he wants to change policies on energy, imposing tariffs on china, mexico, canada. he once mass deportations across parts of america and rumours of what cities might be targeted. he wants to pardon the january six pro trump mob that broke into the capitol to protest his election loss. all these promises have been made and i spoke to supporters outside the arena and many were confident he would fulfil them. how much

he would fulfil them. how much he will get done, let's see. there were promises he broke in office. he cannot run for re—election. what will the first 100 days be like? he has promised to be tough as always but this time around, his team are more organised. he is a known quantity. politically he is tested. his team is a know—how team. they have huge ambitions. we will see what he saysin ambitions. we will see what he says in his speech. eight years ago he infamously said american carnage. we understand this time, he has said his speech will focus on unity and light. we will await that. thank you. we will have live coverage of the inauguration, including that speech. we will have a

special programme from washington at 12 o'clock gmt. we hope you can stay with us for that. all the key moments here live on bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

welcome back. let's focus on events in the middle east and in the past few hours 90 palestinians have been released from ofer prison in the occupied west bank under the gaza ceasefire deal with hamas. two buses with tinted windows left the facility, which were later surrounded byjubilant crowds. most of those freed were women. in tel aviv, crowds celebrated as three israeli hostages were released by hamas — handed over in dramatic scenes. among them 28—year—old emily damari, a british—israeli who was reunited with her mother. and 24—year—old romi gonen and 31—year—old doron steinbrecher who were met by their mothers.

jonah fisher reports from jerusalem free at last. after 15 months being held in gaza, the first hostages released in this ceasefire deal were reunited with family and friends. footage released by the israeli authorities showing the moment romi, doron and the british israeli emily arrived at a hospital near tel aviv. i'm happy to report that they are in stable condition. that allows us and them to focus on what is the most important thing for now — is reuniting with theirfamilies. they're likely to spend several days in hospital to allow more assessment of their physical and mental condition. earlier in the day, the women's journey to freedom had started in chaotic fashion.

hamas fighters were out in force to hand them over to the red cross. israel fought this war with the aim of eliminating hamas from gaza. they've been greatly weakened and their leaders killed. but the pr message was clear — we're still here. the hostages were driven by the red cross to the israeli military, and they were soon reunited with their mothers. in return for the three women being set free, israel agreed to release 90 palestinian prisoners. outside ofer prison, crowds waited late into the night as checks were carried out inside. then, in the early hours, came confirmation that the release had taken place. in gaza itself, the guns did, after a small delay on sunday morning, fall silent. for the nearly two million

displaced, the focus is now on returning to find out what's left of home. translation: the halting of the bloodshed is - an indescribable feeling. i thank god that i survived this war safely. however, when we returned to our homes, we found nothing but ruin and destruction. i cannot describe the scene in words. i don't know what to say. it's likely to be an experience repeated again and again. 15 months of war and israeli strikes has reduced much of gaza to rubble. the fighting has now stopped and more aid should flow in. after so much misery, there is at least some grounds to hope. jonah fisher, bbc news, injerusalem. we will be in tel aviv in a moment to speak about the israeli hostages. let's speak to our correspondentjon donnison who's in ramallah.
