(AFP photo)Joe Biden on Wednesday took office as the 46th president of the United States with a call for unity. On a cold but sunny day at the Capitol building that was assaulted on Jan 6, Biden was sworn in moments after Kamala Harris became America's first woman vice president, ending Donald Trump's four years. Biden -- vice president for eight years under Barack Obama -- appealed to supporters of Trump. At 78, Biden is the oldest-ever US president, a job he first sought in 1987.
