america to try to bring people together trying to deal with people who left behind me. ah, the celebrations in iran, lungs like when abraham racy giving conservatives full control for the 1st time. ah. hello, i'm down to this down there. are you from coming up. the brazilians raise their voices against president both roads handling of the pandemic that's now

killed half a 1000000 people, a test of survival for prime minister nicole passion. young armenians had for a stop election up a defeat in the war again of the by john and re union for just a few minutes. mexican families separated by the us border meet at an annual event . the rom, conservatives are sent to consolidate their grip on power. after hardliner abraham racy was declared, the winner on friday's presidential election turn out was the lowest in the history of the stomach republic, underscoring the challenges that lie ahead. when the former chief justice takes power in august, as big reports now and tara, everyone in iran knew the outcome with no real prominent opposition holds predicted conservative cleric abraham, right? yes, he would when and when he did in a landslide victory, he's closest opponent receiving 14000000 few votes. right?

if he 1st gained prominence amongst a religious faithful. when he was appointed as custodian over the shrine in the city of mush at frequented by millions of pilgrims a year, he was praised for removing cropped officials from the shrines administration and serving pilgrims. an ayatollah considered to be a hide religious authority, and she islam his religious title hold weight among the countries religious. conservative base, racy had failed in his bid to win the presidency in 2017. he lost by 8000000 volts to hassan. ronnie, during that campaign, he was criticized for his pastoral as a judge on election day. once again, our people announced their decision and rejected those who in 38 years didn't know anything but execution, an imprisonment. as a young man, he was part of a committee that oversaw math executions in 1988. an audio recording was leaked during the 2017 election, where i had to le montessori,

condemned gracie and others on the committee for their role in the executions and general. yeah, i think the worst crime against the atlantic republic and that history will condemn us for has been committed by you and your name will go in history as a criminal. amnesty international have said right, he should be investigated for crimes against humanity. as the judicial chief, he's seen as tacking corruption, a fundamental concern for many iranians. his appointment by the supreme needed to key roles has raised other questions, some feel his presidency, setting the stage for him to become the next supreme leader. but he still has to serve as president and make life better for many iranians supposed to shut down the us. and i'd like to offer my gratitude to the very dear hon and vigilant people. i thank the almighty god for the dear people's trust in the serving seminary students . i hope i can respond well to the people's confidence votes unkindness. during my turn, he's surrounded by what many consider to be hard line as opposed to the 2015 nuclear

deal, right? he says he supported mom be about a young man, study him again. we are committed to the jcp away as it was approved by ayatollah harmony. but you can't implemented a stone, governments should be in power to be able to implement. but unlike president tundra honey and the moderates who saw the dia, that's a foundation for broader discussions and relations with the west rafia and he's cap, see it as a feeling with deep mistrust of the united states. but his real test will be how he serves as president, and what change can bring to the country? i said vague 0, there are. well, it's the 2nd time abraham racy has run for the presidency. now he has the job. he faced some uphill battles. the main issue is the economy, unemployment is up, the currency has collapsed. and with the i m. f. projections of 39 percent inflation this year. prices have soared. much of that is linked to us sanctions. and that makes foreign relations unimportant issue. the 2015 nuclear deal relations

with the u. s. and regional rivalry of saudi arabia. a sum of a dominating factors that are already some positive signs with foreign minister jobs reef, saying he's ready to reestablish diplomatic links with re at. and then there's the corona virus pandemic officially more than 82000 people have died. roms, population is about 83000000, but fewer than 5000000 vaccine doses have been administered. well, the u. s. says iranians were denied a free and fair vote in the presidential election, but it pledged to continue talks to say the 2015 nuclear deal question for me has more. 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. the u. s. of course, has not been directly engaged with iran in these talks instead, 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 1900 eighty'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 a ronnie and president sworn into office under us 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 in, 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 analyst expect a pivot from iran, away from the west, even furthermore towards russia and china. now that he's in power for indirect talks between iran and the u. s. to say the nuclear deal are continuing in vienna. iran's foreign minister says they're going well and the deal could be reached before rice takes power. day is a good possibility that we will reach an agreement before the end of our tenure as, as how soon. so we are supposed to leave office by mid august,

and i think there is a good possibility that we can reach an agreement they before made us talk. so going on right now as we speak, i just read the latest text edited is being discussed in vienna. the text is getting cleaner and clean. the brackets are being removed. a saudi arabia says it's intercepted 6 more drones launched by humans whose the rebels, most of them were fired towards the city of hi miss michelle, in the south west of the kingdom. saudi state, media, se air defenses intercepted 17 drones over the past 24 hours. anti government protested have taken to the streets of brazil as the number of deaths from corona virus, past half a 1000000. opponents blame the world's 2nd deadliest outbreak on the president's response. one, can you not get report somebody edition error now,

who's rallied across dozens of cities in brazil to denounce president jadem ball. so natalie, handling of the pandemic marching through the streets of rio de janeiro to the sound of drum beat, into the chant of indigenous try in the capital brazilian. this is called triple sonata impeachment, accusing him a still downplaying. the cove in 1910 demik. despite brazil's death toll being the 2nd largest in the world, when the protest began and real, the corona virus had already killed more than 490000 brazilians. as the day were on brazil reached the tragic milestone of half a 1000000 dead. this governments responsible for genocide it delayed the vaccination roll out. we cannot continue to be governed by a president who doesn't care about brazilian lives just last week, both so now was fine for leading a motor bike rally. and so without wearing a mask,

he's already on the campaign trail for next year's presidential election and continues to promote hydroxy cora wine as the cure for the corona virus. i'm 65 years old, was infected by cooper 19 and took i dropped the clerk when the next day i was cured. not his opponents had been reluctant to take to the streets against him, arguing that people should stay home in the midst of a pen demik. now the states risk you to remain quiet as if you were here to fight for our lives. the virus is less did leave that out president. we want him out. now this is happening, wallace committee is still investigating the government handling of the panoramic sen. doctors and scientists say this is the government has tried to keep her immunity by infection. there's the suspicion that every scientist in brazil now has

and the president of brazil is doing everything he came to convince us the best is a strategy since the beginning. when he goes and say that and says dad immunization produces a protection that is smaller than if you have the disease which is not true. meanwhile, an average 2000 brazilians have been dying every day. and many fear that at this rate, resuming soon surpass united states as the country with the world's largest covered 1900 death toll monetary. and i guess i'll just 0, we're diginero. now in less than an hour, armenians will head to the poles and the snap parliamentary election. prime minister nicko passion yan was forced to coolly early vote. falling protests over the defeat and a war with other by jean last year. despite this, i'm going to predict he could be reelected, really challenge reports from florida. i. c just 3 years on from it. so cool building revolution and armenian politics is getting loud again. this election

should be 2 years off still, but prime minister nicole passion. and he rode to power on a wave of street protests in 2018 since last the humiliating war. and is much weakens, are supported with a radi in yerevan sticking by the man though he's a good deal is everything you're here to support our prime minister because we trust him. we've seen full freedom during his years and office, and this is enough reason to trust him again and again. somewhat unusually reform. i said we had come outside the e u. this is a competitive election with an uncertain outcome, but they're still a favorite. they could reasonably be expected that any prime minister who i was always countries, devastating defeat and war would be political history. yes, the polls so tightens. but most predictions are the nicole passion. you will be the

next prime minister of armenia and paradoxically, for an incumbent. he's framing this as a new revolution. let me see sunny on the 20th of jones cutting from 8 am in armenia. a people non violent revolution will start. but this time it's going to be an iron revolution. and that's revolution will start from a t m. at the polling stations, and they'll be massive voting for us now with his armenia alliance, former president robert carrion is passion dns main rival, although he's tainted by allegations of corruption, co cherry and is trying to capitalize on his polls bounce and unify the mc passion . the i'm vote i have no trust towards cure or tease because that to blame for pride in some of them and i got a border most important for me is to create 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 a corner made to institutionalization from problems with other by jobs borders. no gotten cut about the problem, refugees develop that said a lot of problem that that's a problem to be. i would say any part to which will come to part to the to, to power now will be not popular enough. here about these campaigns have been polarized and bitter, and the country is deeply traumatized by a military defeat. elections may resolve some of the countries issues that by no means all of them will re challenge to 0, armenia, time for a short break here. and i'll just here, when we come back to libya, is warlord lisa half. and his forces launched that 1st military offensive syntheses

fire last year. i and one thing out to bone guinea claims victory against that 2nd outbreak of the deadly disease more in the day with awe. hello there, let start in north america and all eyes are on the gulf of mexico. as tropical storm, claudette makes its way inland, off to touching down in louisiana. now that springs who really heavy rain were saying, sustained winds of 70 kilometers per hour. and this is the 3rd name storm of the hurricane season. this year. it's going to make its way across to the north west, bringing that wet weather to georgia and to the carolinas. it is going to we can, but once again on monday it picks up speed in the western atlantic ocean and it's

supporters of food, or you're saying that after school, electrical officials gave 100 percent of results with more than 44000. both people should be called russia and why they say, why are officials waiting? and they feel that the would you, maurice, would you more got the same feel the election on the other hand, support is up. take off with your body, feel that there's been a fraud. the frog has been committed in the tables with falsifying didn't move among other and they feel that there have been fraud white rhythm magic into reality that she has not providing any real evidence. and officials have said that there has not been evidence of the fraud. international monitors have also said that there has not been

a fraud. however, been a very long time. mean in favor of the pro fraud narrative if you will, where politicians are saying that a new election should be held. functions of course will favor for you, marty. and also there's a, find that the very of a lot of them because former retired military have find the letter. i mean, hundreds of the find on that are asking the, sorry to prevent you from being wanting the president. they are asking for us who saw the moment or the thing is of a lot of political ability been seen here in the sleep of the classical. now a large military force loyal to libby as warlord leaf a half to says it's taken control of a border crossing without g area on thursday half time announced an operation in the area to expel what he called mercenaries and extremist fighters. images posted

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 of things, one of which was opening the 2 new g l julian 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. if you're preparing for parliamentary elections on monday, the vote comes as tens of thousands of people from the gray region seek refuge across the border in sedan. more than 2000000 are internally displaced and many

more need food, aid to zeros, have a move and report some got a reef incident near the border with this was once they get highly maria shelter in this refugee camp before went and heavy rain brought it down 2 weeks ago, a farmer from whom at r and if you'd be a sticker reach and he says he stayed despite the fighting that started last november. but when his livelihood was threatened, he was forced to leave his farm and come to to dance, got out of state. through the latter held, the horror militia came and burned our farms up. we planted and we're waiting to harvest and they stole everything. i wanted to stay, but there was no food and they were preventing aid from reaching us. so i came here to seek security and to get food again. i think it says he believes the burning of farms was done to force the grand like himself into sarajevo than the conflict between the european government and the regional take great people's liberation front has kill thousands and internally displaced more than 2000000 over the past 7 months, 350000 people in the region are facing famine,
