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 - and defeated Jair Bolsonaro in October's poll.
He broke down in tears while speaking to the Brazilian people after the swearing-in ceremony in Brasilia.
