Ivory Coast: Alassane Ouattara to take oath

Alassane Ouattara is due to be sworn in as Ivory Coast's president by the man who earlier denied him of victory in November's presidential election.

In December, the leader of the Constitutional Council ratified Laurent Gbagbo as the winner, leading to a four-month stand-off.
Mr Gbagbo is also expected to be questioned about alleged human rights abuses while he was in power.
However, his French lawyers have reportedly been refused entry.

The AFP news agency says they were blocked at Abidjan airport and put on the next flight back to Paris.
Meanwhile, the EU is to give more than $60m (£37m) in aid to the country.
Europe's development commissioner, Andris Piebalgs, who is in Ivory Coast, said speed was of the essence.
He told the BBC's World Today programme that the situation remained complex and if people's lives did not improve rapidly, violence could resume.
He said Ivorians felt they had lost 25 years of development potential because of the recent political and ethnic clashes.
Some 3,000 people are believed to have been killed during the unrest in the world's largest cocoa producer, previously one of West Africa's richest countries.
House arrest Mr Ouattara is due to take the oath of office at 1600 GMT in the presidential palace before Gbagbo ally Paul Yao N'Dre.
In December, the electoral commission said Mr Ouattara had won but Mr N'Dre annulled thousands of votes cast in favour of Mr Ouattara in rebel-held areas of the north, where Mr Gbagbo had alleged fraud.
The UN, which helped organise the elections, says it found no evidence of widespread fraud.
Mr N'Dre says he now accepts Mr Ouattara's victory.
Friday's swearing-in is to be followed by a ceremony attended by heads of state planned for 21 May.
Mr Gbagbo's hearing was to take place in the northern town of Korhogo, where he is under house arrest.
But without his lawyers, it is not clear if it will still go ahead as planned.
His wife, Simone Gbagbo, is to be questioned on Saturday by an attorney in Odienne, in the north-west, where she is under house arrest.
