Bolivia's president, Evo Morales, has been sworn in for a second, five-year term.

The ceremony was attended by other leftist Latin American leaders, including his role model, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. In December, Mr Morales, 50, easily defeated the conservative former governor Manfred Reyes Villa. Mr Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous head of state, was re-elected after a one-term presidential limit was scrapped in a referendum held last year.
