Italian centre-left politician Matteo Renzi has been sworn in as prime minister.

At 39, the Democratic Party leader is Italy's youngest-ever PM.

On Friday he formally accepted the mandate to lead a new government and named his cabinet.

He ousted Prime Minister and party colleague Enrico Letta in a vote earlier this month. Mr Renzi said his coalition would give "hope" to the economically-stagnant country.

He has promised to overhaul the jobs market and the tax and education systems within four months.

Half of the new cabinet are women.

Announcing his team on Friday, he said: "It's a government that will start to work from tomorrow morning."
