AMLO sets out Mexico's 'transformation'

MEXICO CITY - Newly installed Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched his "transformation" of the country on Monday with a return to presidential news conferences and a new commission to investigate the internationally condemned disappearance of 43 students in 2014.

The new leader, known as AMLO, who assumed the presidency on Saturday, got down to business with a 6 am meeting with his public security team, followed by a 7 am news conference - something his predecessor, Enrique Pena Nieto, habitually avoided.

He then signed a decree creating an investigative commission to unravel the unsolved case of the missing students, a stain on Pena Nieto's legacy.
