Ecuador's new President Lenin Moreno has taken office, pledging to continue the left-wing policies of his predecessor Rafael Correa.

In his inaugural speech, he promised more subsidies for the poor and a major social house-building programme which would create millions of jobs.

But he also said he would streamline government administration costs.

Mr Moreno won April's closely contested presidential election, beating his conservative rival Guillermo Lasso.

This guy has a lot of control over his emotions, to keep on going after that atrocious attack upon him which left him seriously harmed. He didn't allow his set-back to embitter him, and turn him into a vicious right-winger! He is a hero.
