Mass protests against Trump

The president wrapped up his speech without mentioning the marches across the nation and the world against his presidency.

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".

"They got caught and they got caught in a beauty and I think it will hurt them."

Trump then takes issue with reports that 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."

Trump is saying that the US should had "kept" Iraqi oil, after the invasion.

"But if you think about it Mike," Trump says to his CIA nominee, "if we kept the oil, we probably wouldn't have had ISIS because that's where they got their money in the first place.

"So we should have kept the oil."

"But ok. Maybe we'll have another chance."

Trump is heaping praise on his selection to head the CIA, congressman Mike Pompeo.

He says he cancelled the other meetings he had scheduled with possible nominees, after meeting with his eventual pick.

"Everything he's done has been a home run," he said to those that will serve under him if he is confirmed by the Senate. 

"You're going to be getting a total star. A total gem. This is a gem."

No official count from Seattle Police Department, but their Twitter account says the march in that city has stretched for three miles of roadway.

"We have to get rid of ISIS, we have no choice. 

"Radical Islamic terrorism, and I said it yesterday, has to be eradicated just off the face of the earth. 

"This is evil."

Trump says at CIA headquarters that "probably everybody in this room voted for me".

"'Cause we're all on the same wave-length, folks. We're all on the same wave-length."

Trump: "The wall behind me is very, very special," he says about the memorial wall where each star represents a member of the CIA that has died in service.

In the past, "I know that maybe sometimes you didn't get the backing that you wanted", Trump says.

"And you're going to get so much backing. Maybe you're going to say, please don't give us so much backing."

"I am so behind you," he adds. 

In cities across Canada, thousands of people turned out for roughly 30 "solidarity marches" with the Women's March in Washington. Many Canadians also made their way down to DC to participate in the main US protest. 

Trump gives a thumbs-up sign to the crowd before beginning his remarks. 

He begins by praising coverage of his speech from yesterday's inauguration.

"I always call them the dishonest media, but they treated me nicely."

Vice-President Mike Pence says he is thrilled to introduce Trump at "his first event, on his first full day".

Trump, he says, "recognises and appreciates all of the sacrifices" made by the intelligence community.

"I know he is going to make America safe again," he assures the crowd.

President Trump is visiting the CIA headquarters in Virginia.

Any minute now he'll address around 300 members of the nation's intelligence services. 

Vice-President Mike Pence will speak first.

In 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson prepared to take office, a large group of women arrived in Washington to call for voting rights.

Women were not legally allowed to vote until 1920.

These aerial shots from Reuters show the size of the crowds in Washington. Police would not give the BBC any estimates on numbers. Organisers said earlier they believed it would be about 500,000.

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. 

Despite earlier reports saying organisers had deemed the crowd in Washington was too large to march on the White House, they said the march is continuing, but along a different route.

“We are marching and we are using Constitution Avenue,” organiser Janaye Ingram told the crowd.

“We are marching north. Get to Constitution Avenue and turn left. Go to the Washington Monument, turn to the right, you will see the Ellipse."  

"Love Trumps hate, make America great," tens of thousands of protesters in Colorado's capital city are chanting.

Crowds have also grown enormous in Chicago, which is reported to be the biggest outside Washington DC.

While LGBT rights is a prominent issue in the protests, there are some gay Republicans who are expressing their support for the new president.

Time Magazine went along to an inaugural ball, a so-called Deploraball, organised by one of the pro-Donald Trump groups.

The president's motorcade has reached the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, for a meeting with intelligence agency workers.

Alicia Keys recited Maya Angelou's poem Still I Rise at the Women’s March in DC.

Then she added her own words, saying: "No hate, no bigotry, no Muslim registry. We value education, healthcare and equality.

"We will continue to rise until our voices are heard, until our planet's safety is not deferred.

"Until our bombs stop dropping in other lands, until our dollar is the same as a man’s. [Huge cheer]

"And we continue to recognise that yes we can!"

There are so many protesters it seems they can only move in pigeon steps, as the BBC's Charlie Northcott found...

BBC reporters are moving throughout the crowds in Washington, speaking to protesters about why they are marching.

Here's what their seeing:

Washington DC's Mayor Muriel Bowser has tweeted that DC trains are "at full capacity".

The BBC's Courtney Subramanian reports from the Mall: 

Lesley Mansfield, who travelled from New Mexico with a group of friends, said she's marching not just for women's rights, but freedom of choice.

She said she was fed up with Trump from day one of the campaign.

Mansfield said she watched conservative friends who had vowed never to vote for Trump slowly concede even as he became more entangled in scandal.

There was no choice but to show up today, she said.

"He said he wants to give power back to the people - guess what, you just did," said Pam Spencer.

Spencer flew from Atlanta to join the march.

"This march is about unqualified equality," she said. 

"Immigration, access to healthcare, reproductive rights - these issues don't affect us all equally. 

"But we have to show up to make ourselves heard." 

Obama's Secretary of State John Kerry, who got his political start by protesting against the war in Vietnam, has been seen walking his dog among the crowds in Washington DC.

People in attendance thanked him for his service, and he replies that "its an honour".

The BBC's Ashley Semler was there.

Some Canadians heading south to Washington to join the protests say they were not allowed to enter the US.

The BBC's Jessica Murphy has been speaking to them.

At the DC march, Lost in Translation actress Scarlett Johansson says she wants to support President Trump, but "first of all I ask that you support me. 

"Support my sister, support my mother, support my best friend, and all of my girlfriends, support the men and women here today who are anxiously waiting to hear how your next move may affect their lives."

As President Donald Trump's motorcade was returning to the White House after a morning prayer service, the fleet of vehicles had to manoeuvre through throngs of protesters.  

As his armoured car passed through one intersection, cars began honking at him.

In a nod to a famous speech by Hillary Clinton, protesters held up signs declaring that women's rights are human rights.

"We stand with Planned Parenthood," other signs read in reference to a reproductive health organisation whose funding has been threatened by Republicans.

Trump is due to visit the CIA HQ in Virginia later on Saturday.
