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.
