January 20, 2009: Washington DC is in a state of high alert. A new president is to be inaugurated and a couple of million people want to watch. But a new president on the streets of the city is a big security risk. So the secret service has turned Washington into a high-security zone. The bridges across the Potomac River have been closed, in some areas road traffic is restricted, in others, it's banned.
