Mauricio Macri has been sworn in as Argentina's president, vowing to unite the nation and revive the economy.
The centre-right Mr Macri took the oath of office in Congress but his inauguration was boycotted by his predecessor, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, in a row over the venue.
This is the first time since the end of the military dictatorship in 1983 that a president has not attended the inauguration of a successor.
In his inaugural speech, Mr Macri vowed to tackle corruption, poverty and drug trafficking.
He also pledged "team work" and an end to confrontation in politics
