Haiti: Ariel Henry has been sworn in as Haiti's new prime minister, nearly two weeks  days after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.  Henry replaces interim prime minister Claude Joseph, who had led the country since the 7 July attack at Mr Moise's private home.

The late president asked Henry to take the job, days before he was gunned down in the capital, Port-au-Prince. But Henry was in a political tussle with Claude Joseph, Haiti's interim prime minister at the time of the attack. Joseph stepped down on Monday and said Henry's appointment would pave the way for elections in September.  "One of my priority tasks will be to reassure the people that we will do everything to restore order and security," said Henry. Joseph, who has returned to his former role as foreign minister, joined him at the ceremony and warned of a tough task ahead. The inauguration took place as an official memorial began for Moise, who was killed at his private residence on July 7.

At least 26 people, including 18 former Colombian soldiers, five Haitians and three Haitian-Americans, have been arrested after Mr. Moise was shot dead.
