US Election: The latest updates

Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Inaugural celebrations were muted as the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 420,000 Americans as of Monday, according to Johns Hopkins University data, and recent violence at the Capitol, prevented crowds from attending. In a modern history first, the outgoing president, Donald Trump, did not attend the ceremony.

More updates:

• Veteran diplomat Antony Blinken was confirmed as the new U.S. secretary of state on Tuesday.
• The House has delivered its article of impeachment to the Senate. Meanwhile, Senate leaders have agreed to delay Donald Trump's impeachment trial to Feb. 9.
• Former Fed chair Janet Yellen was confirmed as the first female Treasury Secretary.
• Retired Army Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III made history Friday, becoming the first Black defense secretary in the nation's history. 
• President Joe Biden has signed a raft of executive orders and released more details of a national strategy for combating the coronavirus.
• Biden has put an end to the Keystone XL pipeline and he ordered the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Agreement, a global environmental treaty that Trump abandoned. You can Biden's other executive orders here.
• Vice President Kamala Harris presided as Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, as well as her Senate replacement, Alex Padilla, were sworn in. Democrats now have a majority in the chamber, with Harris as tie-breaker.
