melissa chan welcome voters in iran have chosen a new president. former health minister masoud a possess can captured well over 2000000 votes more then his hard line rival and fridays run off. he was the only candidate promising reform allowed to run, but his ability to deliver change in the shadow of a ron supreme leader is limited. a new public face of who runs leadership. reform is low, make him a suited possessed and will now become the countries next president with his we announced by election authorities. i mean, i saw several boy based on the numbers mister masoud possess kia, honest, introduced as the elected president in the 14th presidential election of those nomic republic of drum. the after the announcement possessed and posted

a statement on the social media platform ex, calling for unity and support from his countrymen. the people who appear on the elections are over and this is just the beginning of our path together. the difficult path ahead of us will not be paved except with your support, empathy and trust. i extend my hands to you and swear by my dignity that i will not leave you alone on this path. do not leave me alone. he can paint on premises of reviving the 2015 nuclear deal with western powers, saying he wants to. and he runs isolation with millions of, of radians, frustrated by the lack of real choice, slightly fewer than half of eligible voters cast ballots. well, some of his supporters took to the streets to celebrate. the moved into capital has been largely sober. the honestly speaking, i just hope the prices go down and jobs are easily found for young people and

that's it. i do not have any other special feelings. i'm happy that mr. bizarre scan was elected with profess key on the sanctions will likely be lifted and that's very good amount of them unless it wasn't like i'm really not invested because these candidates only make slogans. and when they take power, they do nothing for the people. so i have no feelings for mr. possess can just, you know, the position will be taken over a country facing internal divisions, deep economic problems and growing international by solution with most of the power held by the supreme leader who is unlikely too old to iran scores despite voters plea for change. i yelled, as our boss is the head of the w's persian at service. i asked her how significant

must be possessed cans victory is for the country women that so there is actually only one significance. and the selection is that iranians made the regime and made the world understand that they did not vote any of this candidates. they did not vote a president. what they did for, for actually is a tier no to these law make republic. let us not forget that over 60 percent of the population and these are official numbers, did not vote and the 1st round and even now, but we can assume that maybe only 15 percent of the population went towards. and the reason is very aware of that. so they actually knew that this is kind of a referendum this election, and this is why it was so important to them to, to, to kind of, you know, gets people to vote. and i think actually it's very likely that the so called performance kind of that that's which is actually a very misleading term, but i come to the hatch later. that position has been wet to. it's actually only

for dance to make people come to vote. but people need wanted not full for that. um and i think also that disappearing of how many actually position was his to his choice. and i think they wanted to from the beginning um to have this so, cuz the form is candidates as a president. that was the, all the is our bush, the head of t w's, persian service. now us present, joe biden has described his recent debate with donald trump as a bad episode and his vowing to stay in the presidential race calls for buying to step aside, have been growing since the debate with concerns about his health and fitness for office in an interview with us media at biden said only quote to the lord almighty, as he put it could persuade him to drop out. but so far that isn't happening. the biggest for nancy, pull joe biden is in damage control mode. in an exclusive interview with abc news
