Pedro Sánchez is sworn in as Spain's new prime minister
Spanish Socialist Pedro Sánchez has been sworn in as the country's new prime minister by King Felipe after the ousting of conservative Mariano Rajoy.

Mr Sánchez, who is an atheist, took the oath to protect the constitution without a bible or crucifix - a first in Spain's modern history.

He plans to see out the remaining two years of the parliamentary term.

The Socialist leader won the support of six other parties to remove Mr Rajoy over a massive corruption scandal.
