New York, Jan 20 (TIWN) Joe Biden was sworn-in as President and Kamala Harris as Vice President in a historic ceremony to take the leadership of a nation ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic and riven by deep political hostility.

Outgoing President Donald Trump, who has not formally conceded to Mr Biden, is not attending the ceremony.  The new president has announced a raft of executive orders aimed at reversing Mr Trump's key policies.  Vice-President-elect Harris was sworn in ahead of Mr Biden - becoming the first woman and the first black and Asian-American person elevated to serve in a role a heartbeat from the presidency.
