hello and welcome. luiz inacio lula da silva, has been sworn in as brazil s new president, 20 years after first becoming the country s leader. almost five years ago he was sent to jail for corruption, on charges that have since been annulled. he ll now lead a deeply divided country. at his inauguration in the capital brasilia he told the crowds he d rebuild brazilfrom what he called the terrible ruins he had inherited from jair bolsonaro. our south america correspondent, katy watson now reports. a return to powerfor the man barack obama once called the most popular politician in the world. security was tight amid threats of violence by supporters of his far right predecessor, jair bolsonaro. mr bolsanoro didn t even hand over the presidential sash, instead abandoning his final official duty and flying to florida. lula is the same man but he inherits a very different country to the one he left before. in his speech, he promised unity and reconstruction, starting in the
