Trump disputes inauguration reportingpublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2017

Trump spoke with the CIA memorial as his backdrop
Trump is taking aim at reporting on the inauguration crowd figures and weather.
He says "it looked like a million and a half people" there on Friday, rubbishing media reports that there were as few as 250,000 people.
He wrongly says the crowd extended all the way back to the Washington Monument.
This claim is contradicted by aerial shots from the day.
He takes a pop at "the dishonest media".
"We caught them and we caught them in a beauty and I think they'll pay a big price."
Trump then takes issue with reports it rained during his speech.
"But God looked down and said, 'we're not going to let it rain on your speech," he says.
"First line I got hit by a couple of drops, and I said, ‘oh, this is too bad’, but we’ll go right through it, but the truth is, it stopped immediately, it was amazing, and then it became really sunny and then it poured right after I left."

Madonna: 'I have thought about blowing up White House'published at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2017
Breaking
At the DC march, Madonna says: "Good didn’t win this election, but good will win in the end.
"So what today means is that we are far from the end. Today marks the beginning of our story.
"The revolution starts here. The fight for the right to be free, to be who we are, to be equal.
"Let’s march together through this darkness and with each step know that we are not afraid, that we are not alone, that we will not back down."
US cable networks promptly drop the feed as Madonna adds: "To those who think this march will never amount to anything, f*** you!"
And in a comment that may attract the attention of the authorities she told the crowd: "Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."
Then she sang her song Express Yourself.
In a subsequent performance, she sung: "Donald Trump, suck a d***."

Duckworth spoke at the Democratic convention this summer
Senator Tammy Duckworth, who lost both her legs in Iraq began her remarks by thanking the children in attendance.
"Yesterday, I gotta tell ya, I was pretty depressed," she says, saying her two-year-old daughter, who has come to "her first protest", has given her inspiration.
"I didn't give up literally parts of my body to have the Constitution trampled on," she said fearing that Trump's administration will seek to "roll back" established rights.
