Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been sworn in as the new president of Brazil – the third time he has held the country’s highest office.

The veteran left-wing politician, known widely as Lula, also led the country between 2003 and 2010. He defeated Jair Bolsonaro in October’s election.

In his first speech, Lula vowed to rebuild a country in "terrible ruins".

He denounced the policies of his predecessor, who went to the US on Friday to avoid the handover ceremony.
