Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro has been sworn in for a third presidential term in what the country’s opposition movement has decried as “coup d’etat”, capping more than five months of dispute over last summer’s contested election.

Nicolás Maduro took the oath before parliament, vowing his third six-year term in office would be a "period of peace".

Almost no one outside Venezuela, and fewer people in the country, see him as a legitimate leader.
