Peru has a female president for the first time, after ex-president Pedro Castillo was impeached - hours after he tried to dissolve parliament.
Dina Boluarte - previously the vice-president - was sworn in after a dramatic day in Lima on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Mr Castillo had said he was replacing Congress with an "exceptional emergency government".
But lawmakers ignored this, and in an emergency meeting impeached him. He was then detained and accused of rebellion.
Ms Boluarte, a 60-year-old lawyer, said she would govern until July 2026, which is when Mr Castillo's presidency would have ended.
Speaking after taking the oath of office, she called for a political truce to overcome the crisis which has gripped the country.

Peru doesn’t grow many bananas.
What is the annual production of bananas in the US?
16
“...we are definitely full of fruits...”
It’s a thing of Pride...
“16”?
Not 42?
That’s how many I counted.
21 + 23 + 25 = 42
Thank you for your posts.
I enjoyed reading about the computer and cubes and your equation.
I like sliced bananas on my Rice Krispies.
But, I only saw 16 bananas.
I eat a banana every day. [Truth]
I don’t think they all come from the USA.
Meant to be 2^1 + 2^3 + 2^5
Cut and paste can be racis’ [not Math compliant...].
Who knew?
My bad.
“What is the annual production of bananas in the US?”
I don’t know But I give away 100’s of pounds per year.
Big Island Hawaii.
Isn’t Peru mostly owned by China now anyway?
Well, that's being quite the optimist. Peru changes Presidents almost as often as Brandon changes his drawers.
535+2
Thank you for your posts.
The rooftops between the numbers is quite artistic.
I saw more bananas in my neighbor Steve’s yard.
That or chickens.
Anyway, I’m going to raise my answer to 23.
