Here is the plain text result:
President-elect Donald Trump will move back into the White House later on Monday after he officially becomes the 47th president of the United States.
Inauguration day will include a formal swearing-in ceremony, musical performances and a number of formal balls. But freezing temperatures have prompted events to be moved indoors, with Trump and Vice-President-elect JD Vance set to take the oath of office in the US Capitol Rotunda building.
This is the formal ceremony that marks the end of one president’s time in office and the start of the successor’s administration. It includes the president-elect reciting the oath of office: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Billionaire tech chiefs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are expected to attend the ceremony, US media report. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will also reportedly be there, just one day after a potential ban of the social media platform could go into effect in the US. China’s Vice President Han Zheng will also be in attendance, along with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Argentina’s President Javier Milei.
Country singer and former American Idol winner Carrie Underwood is due to perform America the Beautiful during the ceremony. “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement.
Viewers in the UK will also be able to see coverage at 15:30 GMT on BBC One.
