As the saying goes, the third time's the charm.
For newly sworn-in Brazilian president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, commonly known as 'Lula', it's a chance to take his nation in a new direction.
He has inherited a bitterly divided country with a bleak economic outlook.
And an Amazon rainforest suffering from the decisions of his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro - who allowed extensive deforestation.
Bolsonaro skipped the handover ceremony and is now in the United States.
So, is this a new dawn for Brazil? and what challenges remain for its new leader?
