How does an autonomous flying car sound?

Aviation company Airbus is known largely for its airplanes - the Airbus A380, in particular, is the world's largest passenger aircraft - so there must be a really good reason why the company can be excused for finding its way into an automotive website like ours. Well, the reason is valid, if not a little exciting depending on how much ambition Airbus really has.

See, the concept images you see here are more than just imaginative prototypes from an artist with far too much free time on his hands. These images actually come from Airbus and it's part of the company's newly formed Urban Air Mobility division that's looking into different concepts that are catered towards imagining what an actual autonomous flying car could turn into. Don't laugh. The aviation company is dead serious about it, so says its own CEO Tom Enders, who let his plans be known at the DLD digital tech conference in Munich.

"One hundred years ago, urban transport went underground, now we have the technological wherewithal to go above ground," Enders said, before adding that all things considered, Airbus could have a demonstration vehicle for single-person transport by the end of 2017. Yup. That's this year. A flying autonomous car has the chance to go for an experimental flight if Airbus really works at it.

"We are in an experimentation phase, we take this development very seriously," Enders added. "With flying, you don't need to pour billions into concrete bridges and roads."

Well then.

Hard as it is to imagine a world where Jetsonian-like technology is actually becoming a real thing, or is in the process of becoming a real thing depending on how far technological developments go, a sliver of hope can peer through that seemingly daunting task if companies like Airbus really make an effort in making the most of these new technologies.

That said, even with all this talk and the apparent "seriousness" by which Airbus is tackling these opportunities, there are a litany of hurdles that need to be cleared before such a technology can, quite literally, lift off.

It's still nice to see that a company like Airbus is seriously looking into it. Let's see how this one goes.

Drug lord 'El Chapo' Guzman arrives in New York to face charges

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Infamous Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who twice escaped from maximum-security prisons in his country, was extradited at the request of the United States to face drug trafficking and other charges and arrived in New York late Thursday.
TIMING OF EXTRADITION SEEN AS POLITICAL
A plane carrying Guzman landed at a suburban airport, where a caravan of SUVs waited to take him away. Guzman, the convicted leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, one of the world's largest drug trafficking organizations, was expected to spend the night in a New York jail before his first appearance in a federal courthouse in Brooklyn on Friday, officials said.

Mexico's Department of Foreign Relations announced Guzman was handed over to U.S. authorities for transportation to the U.S. earlier Thursday, the last full day of Democratic President Barack Obama's administration and a day before Republican Donald Trump's scheduled inauguration.
NOTABLE DATES IN MEXICO'S DECADE-OLD DRUG WAR
Guzman was taken into custody by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in Ciudad Juarez, a border town across from El Paso, Texas.

Guzman, who's in his late 50s, first escaped from prison in 2001 and then spent more than a decade on the run before he was recaptured, only to escape again in 2015 via a mile-long tunnel dug to the shower in his cell.

The 2015 escape was highly embarrassing for the government of Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, and Mexican officials were seen as eager to hand the headache off to the United States afterward. A court denied Guzman's appeal and found his extradition was constitutional, the Mexican Department of Foreign Relations said.

In Mexico, Deputy Attorney General Alberto Elias Beltran told reporters late Thursday that Guzman still faces formal charges in 10 other cases.

"When he completes his sentence in ... the United States, he will return to Mexico to continue" the prosecutions, he said.

Guzman's lawyers had fought extradition since his 2016 recapture and said Thursday the Mexican government sent him to the United States to distract the public from nationwide protests over gasoline prices.

"It was illegal. They didn't even notify us," lawyer Andres Granados said. "They handled it politically to obscure the situation of the gas price hike. It's totally political."

Besides New York, Guzman faces charges in five other U.S. jurisdictions, including San Diego, Chicago and Miami. He could face the possibility of life in a U.S. prison if convicted.

An indictment in New York accuses him of running a massive drug operation that employed thousands of people, laundered billions of dollars in profits back to Mexico and used hit men to carry out murders, kidnappings and acts of torture.

After his recent escape, he became something of a folk legend for a segment of Mexico's population for his defiance of authorities. He was immortalized in songs known as narco-corridos, ballads about the drug trade and drug bosses.

It was while on the lam the second time, in fall 2015, that he held a secret meeting with actors Sean Penn and Kate del Castillo. The encounter was the subject of a lengthy article Penn published in Rolling Stone last January, right after Mexican marines re-arrested Guzman in the western state of Sinaloa.

In the interview, Guzman was unapologetic about his criminal activities, saying he had turned to drug trafficking at age 15 simply to survive.

"The only way to have money to buy food, to survive, is to grow poppy, marijuana, and at that age, I began to grow it, to cultivate it and to sell it. That is what I can tell you," he was quoted as saying in Penn's article.

The decision by Mexico to extradite one of its most prized prisoners to the U.S. comes as Trump has taken a tough stand on illegal immigration from that country, vowing to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it. Mexican officials have repeatedly said they will not pay for a wall.

Derek Maltz, who headed the DEA's Special Operations Division until his retirement in mid-2014, said the timing of Guzman's extradition less than 24 hours ahead of Trump's inauguration could be seen as a show of good faith by Mexico.

Trump to be sworn in, marking a transformative shift in the country’s leadership.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Donald John Trump was sworn in Friday as the nation's 45th president and delivered a fiery nationalist manifesto that promised a populist restoration by stripping power from Washington's elites and ending an era of "American carnage."

Framing his ascension as transformational and global in its impact, Trump delivered a dark inaugural address in which he pledged fealty to all Americans. But he made little overt attempt to soothe a nation still wounded from arguably the ugliest election season of modern times and signaled that he intends to govern as if waging a permanent political campaign.

As Trump addressed hundreds of thousands of supporters from the West Front of the Capitol - a crowd plainly more sparse and subdued than the record one for Barack Obama's historic inauguration eight years ago - scores of violent protesters clashed with police in the streets of downtown Washington.

Trump reprised the central arguments of his candidacy and harshly condemned the condition of the country he now commands. He said communities had fallen into disrepair with rampant crime, chronic poverty, broken schools, stolen wealth and "rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones."

"This American carnage stops right here and stops right now," Trump declared in his 16-minute address.

"We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital and in every hall of power," he added. "From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. America first."

Trump immediately settled into the job, beginning a series of executive actions designed to systematically tear down Obama's legacy. He signed one executive order pertaining to the Affordable Care Act that White House press secretary Sean Spicer said would "ease the burden of Obamacare as we transition to repeal and replace." Separately, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus planned to issue a memorandum to all federal departments and agencies ordering an immediate freeze on regulations.

Trump signed the health-care order while seated at the Resolute Desk of the Oval Office, which had been redecorated with gold curtains (a change from Obama's crimson drapes). Busts of President Theodore Roosevelt and former British prime minister Winston Churchill were added to be displayed along with one of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.

The day of pageantry and ritual - orchestrated both to celebrate the installation of a new commander in chief and to symbolize a peaceful transfer of power - began with a church service and included a military review, a triumphant parade down Pennsylvania Avenue and evening balls.

A tuxedo-clad Trump and wife Melania, who wore an off-the-shoulder white gown, performed their first dance to a cover of Frank Sinatra's "My Way," with the president mouthing the lyrics.

The proceedings showcased the paradoxes of Trump. His inaugural speech, delivered in a light rain, presented a scathing indictment of the very lawmakers and former presidents who sat behind him on the dais. The president charged the entrenched powers in both political parties with exploiting "the forgotten men and women of our country."

"The time for empty talk is over," Trump said. "Now arrives the hour of action."

Yet moments later, retreating inside the Capitol for a signing ceremony of his first executive actions, the president was chummy with the congressional leaders from both parties who embody the established order he had vowed to destroy.

Trump made no mention in his address of his Democratic opponent, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who received nearly 3 million more votes than Trump yet lost to him in the electoral college.

But later at a luncheon in the Capitol's Statuary Hall, Trump said he was "very, very honored" that Clinton - whom he derided during the campaign as "Crooked Hillary" - had attended the inauguration with former president Bill Clinton and asked the other dignitaries in the room to applaud the couple.

In yet another paradox, Trump said his presidency would be governed by two simple rules: "Buy American and hire American." In building his sprawling business empire, however, Trump relied heavily on imports and immigrant labor.

And as Trump promised to return power to "struggling families," two of his wealthiest benefactors - casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and wife Miriam - were among the day's guests of honor, scoring prime aisle seats behind Trump on the dais.

[A fierce will to win pushed Donald Trump to the top]

Trump, who sees his election as part of a global movement that includes Britain's decision to leave the European Union, wanted his speech to resonate beyond the country's borders. He said at the outset that he was addressing "fellow Americans and people of the world."

Trump echoed the nationalist mantra of President Andrew Jackson, saying he would focus entirely on rebuilding America and promoting its interests.

"Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families," Trump said. "We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs."

At 70, Trump became the oldest president ever sworn into office for the first time and one of the wealthiest in history. His far-reaching business holdings, which he said he has placed in a trust to be administered by his two adult sons, have prompted questions about how he will separate his personal financial interests from those of the country.

Trump, who wore a dark suit and his signature red tie, used a family Bible as well as President Abraham Lincoln's Bible to take the oath of office, which was administered by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.

Trump's wife, Melania, who wore a powder-blue cashmere dress, their son Barron, 10, and the president's four adult children from his two previous marriages looked on, as did Vice President Pence and his family.

The ceremony was much in keeping with tradition. It featured prayers from an array of religious leaders and music by the U.S. Marine Band and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

But the crowd that spilled onto the Mall gave the proceedings a distinctly Trumpian flavor. There were jeers when Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) was called upon to speak, and when Trump stepped forward to take the oath, people chanted, "Trump! Trump! Trump!"

The crowd, however enthusiastic, was visibly smaller than the turnout for Obama's inauguration in 2009, when Washington was infused with a sense of hope.

Elsewhere in the city Friday, there were loud congregations of protesters holding anti-Trump signs. Some groups of black-clad anarchists roamed streets downtown smashing windows of businesses and cars, lighting a bonfire and hurling bricks and rocks at police, who responded with loud "flash-bang" grenades and streams of pepper spray.

Attendance was expected to be robust Saturday at the Women's March on Washington, a display of opposition to Trump. City officials said that four times as many requests were made for parking permits for buses that day than on the day of Trump's inauguration.

All but one living former president attended Trump's swearing-in: George H.W. Bush watched the proceedings from a hospital in Houston, where he is recovering from a respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia.

Though the Democratic Party's congressional leaders stood on the dais, more than 60 Democratic House members boycotted the inauguration.

Trump engaged warmly with his predecessor. Before the inauguration ceremony, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama welcomed the Trumps for tea at the South Portico of the White House. Melania Trump presented Michelle Obama a gift - a box wrapped in the distinctive light blue of high-end jeweler Tiffany & Co. She seemed briefly perplexed about what to do with it, with the outgoing president looking in vain for someone to hold the box while the two couples posed for photographs.

Later, the 44th and 45th presidents exchanged pleasantries at the Capitol. Following the ceremony, the Trumps bade farewell to the Obamas, who lifted from the grounds in a Marine helicopter headed toward Joint Base Andrews.

There, Obama delivered brief remarks to a few hundred staff members and supporters before departing on his last flight aboard the aircraft otherwise known as Air Force One to Palm Springs, Calif., where he will vacation before settling into his new home in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington.

Obama said he hoped his progressive movement would not be extinguished with Friday's transfer of power. "This is not a period," he said. "This is a comma in the continuing story of building America."

Trump began dismantling Obama's record, starting with reversing a recent mortgage insurance premium cut that had been projected to save some homeowners hundreds of dollars a year. Democrats denounced the action.

"President Trump, with the flick of a pen, ended that new policy, making it harder for Americans of modest means to obtain their piece of the rock, the American Dream - home ownership," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "It only took an hour for those populist words delivered on the steps of the Capitol to ring hollow."

In his address, Trump was plain-spoken and direct, a deliberate contrast to the poetic oratory of his predecessor. Four years ago, Obama delivered a soaring ode to modern liberalism, from climate change to social transformation. In advocating for same-sex marriage, he became the first president to utter the word "gay" in an inaugural address.

Trump spoke of none of those issues, even though they have animated the Republican Party's evangelical Christian base. He focused almost entirely on the economic anxieties of working people who feel dislocated and adrift.

"We've made other countries rich, while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon," Trump said. "One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the world.

"But that is the past. And now, we are looking only to the future."

Stephen K. Bannon, Trump's White House chief strategist, who helped him craft the speech, said it was designed with Jackson in mind.

"It was an unvarnished declaration of the basic principles of his populist, and kind of nationalist, movement," Bannon said. "I don't think we've had a speech like that since Andrew Jackson came to the White House. But you could see it was very Jacksonian. It's got a deep, deep root of patriotism there."

Indeed, Trump sought to appeal to people's patriotism to bridge the divide that lingers after the bruising campaign.

"When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice," Trump said, adding: "It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots."

A driver deliberately ran over pedestrians in a busy street in central Melbourne. At least20 injured and 4 killed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Photos from the scene showed wreckage of a baby's pram atop the car's bonnet, as emergency workers attended to injured people nearby on the ground.

Two men and a woman aged 25, 33 and 32 respectively, were among those killed, a spokeswoman for Victoria police confirmed. The 3-month-old had been in a critical condition early on Saturday before passing away later that evening.

At least 20 people were injured in the incident, Victoria Police said, which unfolded around 2 p.m. local time Friday and ended when police shot and wounded the driver before taking him into custody.

Video showed the driver being dragged from the car by several officers and hand-cuffed on the ground, dressed only in red underwear and white trainers.

"People were running out of the way, they were going very, very fast. I saw him hit a few people," a witness told CNN affiliate Sky News.

"I saw bodies flying into the air."

Stabbing and chase

The incident appears to have started with an argument between acquaintances several miles away. The driver of the car was allegedly involved in a stabbing in Windsor in south Melbourne early Friday morning, police said.

He then allegedly took a woman hostage and sped off in a maroon red car. Police said the driver knew both the stabbing victim and the woman, who managed to escape from the car on the Bolte Bridge.

The man had been driving erratically before mounting the curb.

"Earlier in the incident we believe this male did some donuts at Flinders Street and Swanston Street," police superintendent Stuart Bateson told reporters, according to Seven News.

Police confirmed the incident was not terrorism related.

"He then turned left into the Bourke Street Mall and then he deliberately drove into the crowd, continued over Elizabeth Street over the footpath and collided with further pedestrians."

Seven reported that the driver "sped down Swanston Street, up to Bourke Street, at times along the footpath, running down dozens of pedestrians."

'Bodies flying into the air'

A witness told Sky News "there was just all this noise and mayhem and then all of a sudden police flying everywhere and just bodies lying all over the ground."

Six people are "in a critical but stable condition" at Melbourne's Alfred Hospital, while 10 are being treated at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Four children were admitted at the Royal Children's Hospital, including a baby who later died.

A doctor told reporters the patients include a 2-year-old, 9-year-old and a 12-year old.

Editor's note -- An earlier version of this story misstated that a baby had been killed earlier in the week.

One student was shot in a school shooting this morning in Ohio.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The person suspected of shooting and wounding a student at an Ohio high school Friday morning was a classmate of the victim, the superintendent confirmed.

Kraig Hissong, superintendent of the West Liberty-Salem Local School District, told reporters late Friday morning the shooting occurred as classes began at the school complex roughly 45 miles northwest of Columbus.

The shooter, a 17-year-old senior, used a shotgun and intended to harm more than the student who was hit, Champaign County Sheriff Matthew Melvin said.

A school official said the shooter had no significant disciplinary issues.

"As tragic as this situation is, we are very, very fortunate," prosecutor Kevin Talebi said. "It could have been much worse. I'm very, very thankful that, as bad as it is, it didn't escalate to a much more tragic incident."

Authorities reported that the suspect was in custody facing a preliminary charge of felonious assault. An initial hearing is scheduled for Monday.

The victim was identified as 16-year-old junior Logan Cole. He was in critical condition after being taken to a Columbus hospital. No other injuries were reported.

Hissong described Cole as a "great student and a real positive person to have in our school system."

"Our hearts are out with his family right now and with him as he's trying to recover from this," Hissong added.

The shooting happened around 8 a.m. EST on Friday.

Initial reports indicated that the shooter fired through a window at the high school and hit someone in the boys' bathroom near the science wing.

Hissong said teachers and students followed their emergency training, including barricading themselves in classrooms.

"This is one of those things that you always see happen in places that aren't near you, and you don't think it's going to occur," Hissong said. "Of course when they happen closer, such as some of the shootings that occurred within the last year, it helps you take notice and remember that you need to be prepared for a moment like this."

He added: "I can't say how pleased I am with how staff and students handled this today."

Senior Ashley Rabenstein told local TV reporters that she was in class down the hall at the time, and when students first heard an odd noise, they weren't sure what it might be because construction has been occurring at the property.

She said her teacher checked the hallway, then ran back and said there was a shooter and threw desks against the door to block it. Students fled through the windows and ran through a cornfield to regroup at nearby houses, Rabenstein said.

"Especially in ... such a small town like this where you pretty much know everyone who lives in the town, you just never think that stuff like this is going to happen," she said.

Hissong said administrators would have to evaluate the situation further before deciding whether classes resume Monday. School activities have been cancelled through the weekend.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lyon sign Memphis Depay from Manchester United

16 million euros

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Manchester United have sold Netherlands forward Memphis Depay to French Ligue 1 club Lyon.

It is thought the fee is £16m rising to £21.7m, with the add-ons including Lyon qualifying for the Champions League and Depay getting a new contract.

United have also agreed buy-back and sell-on clauses.

Depay, 22, has scored seven goals in 53 appearances since joining United in a £31m move from PSV Eindhoven in May 2015. The initial fee was about £25m.

The deal with PSV is thought to have included a number of add-ons which have not been met.

Lyon are fourth in Ligue 1, 11 points behind leaders Monaco and eight points behind PSG in third, the closest Champions League qualification place.

This season Depay has made eight appearances for United, but has featured for only eight minutes since the end of October.

Depay a 'fantastic professional'

However, United boss Jose Mourinho put that down to the competition for places at Old Trafford.

"From my perspective, instead of trying to say why it didn't work, I think it is easier for me - and he deserves me to say - that he was a fantastic professional," said Mourinho.

"So if somebody thinks it didn't work because he was not a great professional, it is totally wrong.

"One thing is some picture that somebody takes with him in an amazing car or dressing in a very specific way, but the image is totally wrong.

"The guy is a fantastic professional, he is a kid that respected everyone, a kid that tried to work hard to get more chances, a kid that was frustrated because he was not having that, but I only have good things to say about him."

He added: "If I can find a little reason, it is to say he is a player from one position and the only position where we have overbooking. Wingers are what we have more of, so it is a position more difficult to have chances."

'I want to score goals'

Depay, who will wear the number nine shirt for Lyon, said he was looking forward to showing people what he was a capable of.

"I did in the past and I didn't show it every time at Manchester,'' he said. "I want to score goals and get that feeling back again.''

Depay was the Dutch Eredivisie's top scorer in 2014-15 and was brought to United under then-manager Louis van Gaal, who had given him his Netherlands debut.

He becomes the latest high-profile Van Gaal signing to be sold on.

Argentina attacking midfielder Angel di Maria signed for a then-British record fee of £59.7m in August 2014, but was sold to Paris St-Germain for £44.3m a year later.

Morgan Schneiderlin, who signed from Southampton for £25m, was sold to Everton on 12 January for a fee rising to £24m.

Former Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger was also brought to Old Trafford by Van Gaal, joining from Bayern Munich for a reported £14.4m.

However, the 32-year-old has played just 16 minutes under Mourinho this term.

Trump sworn into office today

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
He arrived at the White House for the first time as President just before 5 p.m. ET following a day of tradition marking the power shift in the nation's capital.

In a time-honored ceremony on the flag-draped West Front of the Capitol earlier in the afternoon, Trump placed his left hand on a family Bible and another that belonged to Abraham Lincoln and promised to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. As light rain began to fall on a crowd stretching toward the Washington Monument, Trump took the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts with the new first lady, Melania, by his side.

Trump's inaugural address centered on the themes that animated his stunning outsider campaign, which shattered political conventions and gave voice to heartland voters who felt badly let down by professional politicians.

Though he paid tribute to outgoing President Barack Obama, the President sketched a vision of America that came across as a repudiation of the last administration. He promised to restore the nation's strength and purpose and to rebuild it from within, vowing to "bring back" American jobs, borders, wealth and dreams.

"We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, and in every foreign capital and in every hall of power," Trump said. "From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land, from this day forward, it's going to be only 'America first! America first!'"

Trump: 'You will never be ignored again'

Trump talked of a nation of mothers and children trapped in poverty in the inner cities and "rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones," and warned crime and gangs had robbed the nation of much of its potential.

"This American carnage stops right here and stops right now," Trump said, with Obama looking on.

"A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions," Trump said, emphasizing that whether people are black or white they still bleed the same red blood of patriots.

And he told Americans listening to the address: "You will never be ignored again."

Former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter attended the ceremony. Hillary Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the November election, was in the audience in a show of support for national unity and the peaceful transfer of presidential authority.

But, contrary to some expectations, Trump made no gesture of reconciliation toward Clinton or her supporters following the deeply divisive campaign in which he won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote. He later recognized her during a congressional lunch, when she received a standing ovation.

"I was very honored, very, very honored when I heard that President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton was coming today, I think it is appropriate to say it," Trump said. "Honestly, there is nothing more I can say because I have a lot of respect for those two people."

Many traditions

The swearing-in was one of many traditions that began Friday morning. Trump and his family attended a private worship service at St. John's Episcopal Church, known as the church of presidents. The Obamas greeted Trump and the new first lady at the North Portico of the White House before hosting them for tea.

Earlier in the morning, Obama wrote a letter to Trump and left it on the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, as outgoing presidents typically do for their successors. As Obama left the Oval Office for the final time, he was asked whether he had any words for the American people. "Thank you," Obama responded.

The customs and symbolism that are playing out -- from Trump's ride to the Capitol with Obama to the first couple's dance at an inaugural ball -- are familiar. But the circumstances of this inauguration -- the 58th in the nation's history -- could hardly be more unconventional.

When the presidential primary season began nearly a year ago, few thought Trump could survive the battle for the Republican nomination -- much less beat Clinton to win the presidency. He was the oldest president sworn in for a first term and the first president with no previous diplomatic, political or military executive experience.

In what is always a poignant moment, the former President Obama and his wife left Capitol Hill on a helicopter bound for Joint Base Andrews for a farewell ceremony before taking one last flight on the presidential jet. The Obamas are heading to Palm Springs, California, for a vacation.

Trump attended a joint congressional inaugural luncheon in the Capitol before heading back to the White House for the inaugural parade. Halfway along Pennsylvania Avenue, Trump's vehicle stopped and the new first couple walked hand in hand past the cheering crowds. By the time the motorcade approached the new Trump hotel, the President was back in the hulking car.

In the evening, Trump and the new first lady will attend two inaugural balls, part of the stripped-down inaugural festivities that aides say are meant to stress that the new president is eager to get to work.

Supporters excited; others concerned

Trump's supporters, who sent him to Washington to rip up political norms and thwart the establishment, are thrilled as he assumes power. The crowds started streaming toward the National Mall as dawn broke, with many people wearing Trump's distinctive red "Make America Great Again" baseball caps.

But millions of Americans are also anxious, owing to the abrasive tone of Trump's campaign and fears over the consequences of his strongman leadership style.

Trump has vowed to tear up US trade deals that he says disadvantage US workers, confront a rising China and improve estranged relations with Russia, despite allegations that Moscow interfered in the election. He has set high expectations for his presidency by promising to return jobs to US shores and reviving the manufacturing industry. He has pledged to crush ISIS and introduce tough new vetting on immigrants from countries where there is terrorist activity, raising fears of discrimination against Muslims.

Trump is promising to build a wall on the southern border, to crack down on undocumented migrants and to gut the financial and environmental regulations that are at the center of the Obama administration's legacy.

New presidents typically use the inaugural address -- viewed by a huge crowd fanned out on the National Mall and millions of television viewers -- to issue a call for national unity and ease the wounds of divisive elections. They typically remind Americans of the values and the history that binds them and of the nation's historic mission.

Trump, so far, has done little to reach out to his foes since November.

"He is still talking as if he is the insurgent candidate rather than the President-elect," said Robert Rowland, an expert on presidential rhetoric at the University of Kansas. "Historically, presidents who are effective use inaugural addresses to heal the wounds of the campaign, to talk about what it means to be an American, to discuss shared values and lay out their political principles to come across as a strong not vain leader."

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has now been extracted to the US to face drug trafficking charges, and other criminal charges.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been extradited to the United States, Mexico's government said Thursday, a little more than a year after he was caught following his brazen escape from a maximum-security prison.

Several U.S. jurisdictions want to try the former Sinaloa cartel leader on federal drug trafficking charges, including prosecutors in San Diego, New York, El Paso, Texas, Miami and Chicago.

A plane carrying Guzman landed at MacArthur Airport on Long Island, New York, at around 9:30 p.m. ET, where dozens of U.S. marshals and other law enforcement officers were gathered.

The Justice Department said Guzman was will "face criminal charges in connection with his leadership of the Mexican organized crime syndicate known as the 'Sinaloa cartel," and is charged in six separate indictments in the U.S.

Guzman was recaptured in January of 2016 in the town of Los Mochis, almost six months after he used an elaborate mile-long tunnel to escape from a maximum-security Mexican prison.

The case took another twist when it was revealed that the actor Sean Penn traveled to Mexico to meet with Guzman in a remote jungle clearing while he was on the run, for an article that appeared in Rolling Stone.

"The Justice Department extends its gratitude to the government of Mexico for their extensive cooperation and assistance in securing the extradition of Guzman Loera to the United States," the Justice Department said, referring to Guzman's full name of Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera

Guzman slipped into a hole in his shower at Altiplano prison near Mexico City on July 11, 2015 and fled through a mile-long tunnel outfitted with a motorbike that led to a residential construction site.

He was recaptured in a pre-dawn raid by Mexico's navy in the town of Los Mochis on Jan. 8, 2016. Government forces killed five suspects in a shootout during the raid, Mexican authorities said at the time.

Guzman had escaped from a Mexican prison once before, in 2001, purportedly hidden in a laundry cart.

Details about where and when Guzman will first appear in a court in the U.S. were not immediately released. Guzman was first taken to New York upon arriving because an indictment there contains a provision that he must first enter the U.S. in that district, according to the Justice Department.

U.S. authorities sought extradition after Guzman was arrested in 2014 but Mexico resisted, declaring it a matter of national sovereignty.

Guzman, believed to be 61, has long been a popular anti-hero in Sinaloa and across Mexico for dodging death and evading bullets while turning the multibillion-dollar Sinaloa cartel into one of the world's most powerful - and ruthless - drug trafficking organization.

The Sinaloa cartel has been blamed for thousands of deaths, including the murder of police officers and innocent civilians. A turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels in Ciudad Juárez claimed 10,000 lives between 2008 and 2012, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Guzman oversaw the explosion of subterranean networks used to smuggle massive amounts of narcotics across the U.S. border. U.S. officials have said at the height of the Sinaloa cartel, it was believed to be responsible for up to half the illegal drugs coming into the U.S. from Mexico.

The Drug Enforcement Administration in a 2015 report said that of all the Mexican drug trafficking organizations, the Sinaloa cartel has the largest presence in the U.S.

After his 2001 escape, Guzman outfitted many his safe houses with secret doors that opened to tunnels leading to municipal sewer systems. He used one of them, accessed through the bottom of a bathtub, to shake authorities in February 2014.

He was arrested a few days later and ended up in Altiplano, the prison that he escaped from in July of 2015.

In his Rolling Stone article, Penn said Guzman boasted "I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats."
