Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been sworn in as Bangladesh's interim leader
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been sworn in as Bangladesh's interim leader, vowing to uphold, support and protect the constitution.
The 84-year-old took an oath at the presidential palace in Dhaka along with more than a dozen members of his new cabinet, vowing to perform his duties sincerely.
He flew into the capital, Dhaka, just days after Sheikh Hasina - the woman who ruled Bangladesh with an iron fist for 15 years - fled across the border to India.
Ms. Hasina resigned as prime minister after weeks of student-led protests - which left hundreds dead - escalated and culminated in calls for her to stand down.
