save the world, needs into your elbow. in the evening, henry c is elected iran's new president by a massive margin. but this selection saw the lowest voter turnout in the country's history. ah, hello barbara, sarah, you're watching al jazeera life in london. also coming out for testers in brazil say the president must be in peach over is handling of the corona virus pandemic. at the border with algeria a major military operation by forces loyal to the libyan warlord, honey, for god. what does this mean for the october cease fire deal and the bowl outbreak,

and se guinea is declared over? the virus was extinguished using lessons learned from previous the hard line candidate is abraham racy, has been declared the winner of iran's presidential election. a widely anticipated result after other strong contenders were barred from running racy one. nearly 62 percent of the vote, but turn out was a low with less than 50 percent of eligible people actually voting. this was largely attributed to a lack of enthusiasm for the election and the pandemic on saturday. racy was visited at his office by the outgoing president of rodney bracy takes office in august and promises to work closely with the former leader said my to about that. it is sure, as i congratulate my very dear brother mister abraham,

right. you see he has a very heavy responsibility check. now that i'm care, ma'am, i have no doubt that the people will support his legitimate government so that their interests can be based implemented fossa, shackle hold on. right now, i'd like to offer my gratitude to the very dear, honorable and vigilant people. i thank the almighty god for the dear people's trust in the serving seminary student. i hope i can respond well to the people's confidence votes unkindness during my term. that was, well, it's the 2nd time the abraham racy has run for the presidency. and now that he has the job, he faces some uphill challenges domestically. the primary problem is the economy. unemployment is up, the currency has collapsed to its lowest rate. and with ins, projections of 39 percent inflation this year, prices have stored and much of that is linked to us sanctions, which make foreign relations a key issue not only the nuclear deal and relations with the us,

but also regional ties that are already some positive noises there though, with the foreign minister java. shitty. saying that he is ready to reestablish formal diplomatic links with saudi arabia. and then of course, there is the pandemic officially more than $82000.00 people have died. but that is thought to be and underestimate iran's population is about 83000000, but fewer than 5000000 vaccine doses have so far been administered. well, i'm just here, as i said, vague is in the capital tehran for say, i said is, so he does when 62 percent of the vote, we think, but with the lowest turn out in the history of iran's election. so what does that actually mean for the, for races legitimacy? well, it depends. he talk to, if you talk to his supporters, well, they'll say this was an election. people had a choice to vote or not to vote. and those that voted the majority of those 62

percent voted for right. if in fact he increased his vote from the last time he stood back in 2017 against prison tests under harmony did back then he got just shy of 16000000. this time he got just shy of 18000000, while so significant is of those votes that were in invited votes back in 2017. they were 1200000 this time it was 3 times higher, 3700000. and it's understood that many people actually voted, spoke their balance, but there are questions around this election and right the legitimacy of this election, that's because many prominent moderates and reform is disqualified. and we're not allowed to stent. and many believe that the stablish moment of those political forces behind the brain, right? if you were trying to make, he's run for presidency as easy as possible. one of those that was not allowed to stand was former president damage. and then he came out and said that he wouldn't

be voting for anybody or backing any candidate. and another candidate, the reform is candidate from back in 2009, mid hussein musashi, who's been at home rest and has voted in previous elections. he said that he would boycott it because it was an engineered election, but again, it depends on who you speak to here, but those supporters of brain raise, you have been out on the street. we've been monitoring that they've been celebrating as far as they've concerned. he's one of the election and he is the next legitimate president of iran, and i say the race is being described as a hard line can that it's certainly a conservative. so what does a conservative president mean for iran? well yes, he is a conservative, but it's important to remember that the parliament is also made up of many conservatives and as many low make to the right of him. that the conservatives, for example, in the 2015 nuclear deal, that something that they did that back, they didn't support that brain racy,

has come out to say that he does support that document because it was backed by the supreme leader to the how many but the difference between the reformist and the conservative is that the reformists president has under honey seen as a moderate and he's reformist supporters when they look at the 2015 nuclear deal, they see as a foundation, a foundation for a possible broader engagement. and relationship with the west. well, when you the conservatives, you look at the conservatives when they see the 2015 nuclear deal. they see the ceiling and they have great mistrust of the west. and the united states, in terms of domestically really brain racy, has a reputation of campaigning against corruption. but also he has some controversy going back to 1988. he was a part of a committee the over. so mass executions here in iran, in fact to be our sanctions against him. and i'm, i'm this international have come out today to say that he should be investigated for crimes against humanity. so there are some concerns over brian, right?

you see and he's passed, but the main challenge for him is how he will deal with the economy. because when we've been out in the streets, the main consent from everybody has been the lack of employment to the high inflation rate and the value of the ring in reality, which has dropped dramatically as a big with the latest from her on an asset. as always, thank you or you see is actually under sanctions from the united states because of allegations of human rights abuses. he was president joe biden has yet to publicly react to the election result, which is at a delicate time in negotiations over the iranian nuclear deal. christmas salumi has more now from washington dc. this has to be a concern for the united states. they're striving to get a renewed iran deal in place before he takes office in august. we know another meeting is scheduled to happen in vienna on sunday. b u. s. of course, has not been directly engaged with iran in these talks. instead of leaving that to

their counterparts in the deal, but by joe biden, the president of the u. s. is very eager to make progress on this front and as far as easy as concerned on the one hand, this man is a hard liner. that's a concern for the united states. amnesty international has linked him to death squads in the 1980 s that oversaw the killing of thousands extradition extra judicially of political prisoners. and as the head of the judiciary, racy over saw other human rights abuses, according to amnesty international, including allowing government officials and security forces immunity and their crackdown on protesters and dissidence and so forth. so this makes right, you see actually the 1st iranian president sworn into office under un sanctions in 2019, when he took over as the head of the judiciary, the united states level, personal sanctions against him. so that is

a complicating factor in the relationship here. and on the other hand, he has also expressed support for getting the iran deal done. so there could be some impetus to move things forward now that he has been sworn. and the challenge for the united states is that president biden wants to take the iran deal even farther and include ron's ballistic missile program. that was never going to be an easy agreement to come by. this may make it even harder. most the analyst expect a pivot from iran, away from the west, even furthermore, towards russia and china. now that he's in power, the, me a military force in libya, loyal to warlord holly for her says it's taking control of border crossings with jerry a and declared it a military zone on thursday. half that announced an operation in the area to expel

what he described as african mercenaries and extremist fighters. the boarders being closed for nearly 7 years because of the conflict in libya. it's the 1st military operation of its kind by half that us forces since signing a ceasefire. deal with tripoli last october. when my lease krajina has more now from tripoli, libya has seen relative peace since the cease fire agreement was signed in october . so this is a very significant movement, it's the 1st time that such a large military mobilization has happened, declared, have to force have declared the area military zone. so we're going to have to wait and see what's going to happen. but this comes just days before an international conference in berlin. the united nations in germany are hosting the berlin to conference. and that's meant to bring, bring before an actors for actors involved,

foreign stakeholders together in berlin to discuss, supporting libya, new in term unity, government. and also bringing about elections. elections are scheduled to take place in december this year. but this could possibly impede those elections. and impede the peace process that's been happening. and this also comes just a few days after an official visit by luke the libyan government. to algeria, they agreed on a couple things, one of which was opening the tunisian and algerian border for commercial trade. the board was closed for several years. we're going to have to wait and see what kind of, what, what, what exactly is going to happen after this military movement. and whether or not this will create or bring about, or bring more challenges towards this new government. to lead the country to elections later on this year. protest is in brazil are demanding the impeachment of

president j a vote scenario over his handling of the pandemic. thousands of marched on the streets of revision, a demanding more corona virus. vaccines also matter was find last week for not wearing a mask. at a rally in south, paolo the president has repeatedly played down the threat of cove it. well, let's go to monica. you in a key of who's ad that process. there's an arrow and monica, these protests are happening in brazil. covert the call is now past 500000. the tell us a little bit about what people that are on the streets or say well, yes, here we are. there's a narrow, the process started early in the morning it ended a while ago, but they are just beginning now in some followed. this is a nation wide protest. it's happening all over the country in many capitals in many cities. and the reason that they're protesting is they're asking

for both, so not as impeachment. also, they are blaming him for half a 1000000 deaths by coven 19, because he has downplayed the virus. he scorned the mask. every time he could, he scorned social distancing he delayed the vaccine, roll out this in the country like brazil that has the capacity, the manpower and the installations to produce vaccines. and usually has been very good about bringing about mass vaccination. and this did not happen this time because there was no national plan. the government's downplaying of the. 7 pandemic is being investigated by a senate committee as which began in april the, the investigation began in april. and these protests today, they are the 2nd nationwide protests. the last ones was the last one was may and

the opposition was reluctant to take to the st. because they wanted to respect social distancing respect all the safety measures and didn't want to go out on the street like both so narrow himself has been doing since he is already on political campaign for his re election next year. but now they're saying that if they stay home and they remain silent, they are complicit with what's going on in the country. and brazil has reached today, the tragic milestone of half a 1000000 deaths. it's the 2nd largest in the world. the 1st is the united states, but the united states country to brazil is seeing a rise in vaccinations and, and the death toll is diminishing, which is not the case here. when you can get a key of with the latest they're from readers or later in brazil, monica, thank you. will still to come on al jazeera, an ancient craft,

the need of preserving coal to protect traditional korean paper, making ah hello there. the heat continues to dominate across europe this weekend, but things are going to change as we go into next week. and things are going to get cooler as the wet weather kicks in. for now, those unsettled conditions dominating across western areas of europe. we seem to be a thunderstorms rolling across the northern areas of spain, affecting france. we seen flooding from those thunder re downpours and if you come to the 4th luxembourg and belgium, does he go into monday? we got a weather system working its way for the east, and that's going to bring even more wet weather with it was the northern areas of germany and denmark affected by those torrential downpours and areas of southern

england in 20 a cloud and some showers. well look what that does to the temperature. we look at the 3 day for london, when nestling in the mid teens as we go into next week, so well below average for this time of year. but centrally, the heat does continue across poland, bella, ruth and western areas of russia, the temperature continuing to climb in moscow. the weather continues across the black sea will have showers in turkey, but for grief, things do dry up. we'll have plenty of sunshine. athens coming in in the early thirties and plenty of sunshine coming through for italy. the weather bag, energy and change to every part of our universe. or small to continue the change all

around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your bill. ah ah, come back as a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera iran hardline candidate, abraham racy has been declared the winner of the presidential election, racy won nearly 62 percent of the vote, but turn out was low with less than 50 percent of eligible people voting a military force in libya, loyal to the warlord honey. for half the data says it's taking control of border

crossings with l. g area and declared it a military though. it's the 1st military operation of its kind by half cars forces since october. fire protest is in brazil are demanding the impeachment of president wilson over his handling of the pandemic. the desk told in brazil has now passed 500000 and he will outbreak that started in se guinea in february has been declared over 16 people were infected 12 years of di to viewing the outbreak in guineas. second largest city, the health ministry vaccinated $11000.00 people to contain the virus, which causes severe oblique bleeding and organ failure. the ball, the outbreak from 2014, 2016 keel killed more than 11000 people. mostly in guinea, sierra leone, and liberia. will steady a small shows as

a bio medical scientist and a viable disease is expert. he says health experts learned lessons from the previous outbreak manage very quickly to bring the tradition nation for a whole lot contain transmission using really effective diagnostics approaches. and then also put in place the spring box nation schemes, which although basically people around individuals, they come in fact buyers to be box and a very quickly and be protected and they are a 100 percent. i think it's a so that we can contain such a problem becoming a problem locally, nationally and internationally as well. there's national response stuff most together in 2015, 2014 to try and turn around the time brought a lot of learning to the local community, managed to reinvigorate the local community in terms of health care professional

training and in terms of understanding of the disease. but also in the local community increase the understanding of the disease because culturally, people just didn't have the experience of all of them when i came across that just didn't know how to respond to it. this is very funny because the, the west african outbreak wrote the rule book, unfortunately with so many western nations in the last page. look the other book. i know this is almost africa and nothing to do for us. but in fact, the real human, we'll respond the same way that most shopping by phone, or there is not all life. you remember we have the same situation with a virus. so yes, a lot of learning, something brought together implemented in west africa. the disease came back again and we were able to contain it, we were able to make show about it doesn't become a problem. the re, so coo in molly, is likely to top the agenda as west african leaders lead for

a summit in governess capital outcrop, member nations of the economic community of west african states known as eco, was taking part. but molly is not represented after being suspended from the group 3 weeks ago following the qu, that also regional concerns that attacks from groups linked to al qaeda. and i saw, could spill over from molly into the neighboring states. with addresses following the story from neighboring ivory coast. it's been 10 months since the military 1st took the reins upon the posing former president, k times. since then we've seen development some positive, some negative. the appointment of the prime minister and the civilian president was the idea of echoes, which the military obliged, but it only lasted a few months. now the question is, what molly military does continue with a transition for 18 months or 2 years before they handle the organized selection

and elected president? that is the question that is bothering members of the council, of course, can be commission. now, apart from that, the course is also dealing with the crisis of whether or not you're citing sanctions in molly. we're seeing how at the start of the complex, at the start of the cool the course quickly wash, imposing sanctions on by me. and then within a short time, it reverses, it's saying that the function is not applicable to fuel and footstep because molly depends on it. well, if that imposes those functions on the lead is of money, then definitely they have a very, very difficult task because most of them don't even have acids outside of molly and a lot of them when it went probable because of their position. so if any sanction is imposed not just food and, and fuel then definitely will have to affect the ordinary person on the street.

armenians vote on sunday in an unscheduled parliamentary election, fresh and voters mines is last few as military defeat at the hands of their by sean and turkey in the disputed nego and kind of a region that the feed triggered anti government protests. and the prime minister was forced to call elections 2 years early, or challenge reports now from armenia capital yet about i just 3 years on from it. so cool building revolution and armenian politics is getting allowed again. this election should be 2 years off still. but prime minister nicole passion, young, who wrote a power on a wave of street protests in 2018 since lost a humiliating war. and is much weakened, are supported with a radi in yerevan sticking by the mandate. he did. he did everything. we're

armenia alliance for my president, robert carrion is passion, yann's main rival, although he's tainted by allegations of corruption, coach harry and is trying to capitalize on his polls, bounce and unify the mc passion, the vote. they have no trust towards cure or tease because that to blame for crisis in some of them. and i got a border most important for me is to create a pace for our country. i'm sure our media alliance will go forward and not back it . political scientists, alexander is, can darian says armenia is still democratic. the young and personalities dominates rather than stable parties. i asked him what challenges the winner faces. eric, everything from economy to institutionalization from problems with that by john borders. know, go to cut about the problem, refugees develop that said
