Mark lobel, bbc news. Irans next president will be the hardline cleric, Ebrahim Raisi, a harsh critic of the west and a close ally of supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei. He easily beat his nearest rival, but reformist candidates were barred from taking part in the Election And Turnout crashed to less than 50. In the Election And Turnout crashed to less than 50 . Mr raisi, wholl take power in august, has a reputation as an Ultra Conservative and is subject to us sanctions, over his alleged role in the Mass Execution of political prisoners. Heres Kasra Naji from bbc persian. For many iranians, its been a dark day. The hardline head of thejudiciary, Ebrahim Raisi, has won, in elections that offered no real choice for the electors and no serious challenges for him. The Interior Minister says he won just over 18 Million votes, with the lowest turnout in 42 years, since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. A good number of iranians have been alienated from the political process, particularly the young, many of whom are tired of living in fear. Mr raisi is best known for his role in signing off on the execution of thousands of political prisoners in the 1980s. Now, many iranians are dreading what might be in store for them. More restrictions on freedoms, tighter controls on social media, internet and the press, more than before, and fewer rights and jobs for women. Translation i want to say to others, be yourself. Dont be afraid, even if they put you in a police van, like me. Tensions will continue in irans relations with the west. Iran may turn more towards china and russia, to bail it out of the current desperate economic mess. This Kasra Naji, bbc news.

One of the organisers of todays parades said today is the only day where he feels safe enough to walk in the streets of warsaw, holding his partners hand.

The us says it will continue negotiating with iran to revive the international nuclear deal, following the election of the hardline Cleric Ebrahim Raisi as the next iranian president. Lets stay with that story. Professor Abbas Milani is director of the iranian Studies Programme at stanford university. Hopefully the line is a little better this time. Lets start with that issue, the around clear deal, where do you think we are with that now . I clear deal, where do you think we are with that now . We are with that now . I think is under way we are with that now . I think is under way for we are with that now . I think is under way for resolution, l we are with that now . I think is under way for resolution, i | is under way for resolution, i think the iranian regime clearly needs to make a deal, wants to make a deal. The economy is on the verge of collapse, then it will have Ebrahim Raisi as the next president , and the benefits of improved economic condition, so i would be surprised if there isnt some kind of an agreement in the nearfuture. In the near future. Interesting, so it is in their interests to get a deal this time . Does that mean sanctions have worked . Or the deal is too favourable to iran or a combination of both . I think the Sanctions Combination of both . I think the sanctions clearly combination of both . I think the sanctions clearly work i combination of both . I think the sanctions clearly work in the sanctions clearly work in the sense that they weaken the regime, they brought the regime to a position where they have no choice but to negotiate, but the problem is that the brunt of the pressure was born by the iranian people and if now in these negotiations, the interest of the people is not taken into consideration then the hardliners will have, in the hardliners will have, in the long run, it will be to the detriment of the us as well as iran. So whether it is a wise thing to do or not depends on the kind of deal that is made and the kind of resistance to the regimes regional shenanigans as well as Human Rights to be included. You mentioned rights to be included. You mentioned Human Rights to be included. You mentioned Human Rights and interests of the iranian people, and this low turnout, does that actually they are not that busy ethic about this potentially new regime . I think clearly they potentially new regime . I think clearly they are potentially new regime . I think clearly they are not clearly they are not enthusiastic because if you look at how many people did not participate, if you look at how many people turned in blank ballots, about 5 Million people, there is a large majority of people who have said no to the status quo, and whether khameni will hear this or not or if you will double down remains to be seen. If the past eight he will double down on what has got us to this current moment. Current moment. Looking forward. Current moment. Looking forward, where current moment.

This election was an election with a foretold, preordained result. What we dont know is whether Ebrahim Raisi is being groomed to replace khameni when he passes away or whether he is a oil to bring khamenis son, who has been lurking in the shadows and as a De Facto head of the office for mr khameni, two succeed him. This is the only unknown quantity about this election, but otherwise, the fact that Ebrahim Raisi is the president , to me, doesnt really mean much in terms of Foreign Policy because Foreign Policy, military policy, they have been the monopoly of mr khameni.

For the first time in over half a century, cheetahs will return to india as the worlds fastest Land Animal makes a comeback in the country. A team of researchers is working to bring an initial 8 cheetahs from South Africa by The End of the year. The animals became extinct in india in the 1960s mainly due to hunting. Lets cross to dehradun and speak to Yadven Dradev Jaaler whos the dean of the Wildlife Institute of india. This sounds like an ambitious project, is it going to work . Its the first time that something like this has been attempted. I hope it could work, yes, why not . Some people have been work, yes, why not . Some people have been a work, yes, why not . Some people have been a bit work, yes, why not . Some people have been a bit critical, have been a bit critical, sceptical, saying that there is just not enough room for the cheetahs to live properly in the area where you are proposing to put them. No, weve got proposing to put them. No, weve got sufficient proposing to put them. Iirr, weve got sufficient space, weve got sufficient space, weve got sufficient space, weve got good trade. Cheetahs require large spacious and spaces we have prepared for them in uttar pradesh, theres about 5000 square kilometres. I dont see why It Cheetahs will not be able to do well there.

Ideal it would have been a cheetah from iran but there is unfortunately only 30 or 40 individuals left their and its not possible to sort animals from there anymore, so South Africa is the source so that we have sufficient number of animals for a reintroduction programme. First step, the animals we are going to get will be from namibia and South Africa. ,. ,. , africa. Ifc, and ust one last question. H africa. Ifc, and ust one last question. We africa.

Is this land completely cleared of anyone actually living there with yellow so we got about 750 square kilometres, which is devoid of any human habitation. Cheaters are one of the most conducive animal to live nearby humans because there has not been a single attack on a human, citing the conflict levels with a cheetah will be left. People in this area have been used to living with large animals, there have been tigers, is directly even lions a century ago and lipids, so cheetah are the most conducive animal to have in the neighbourhood but there are no people and 750 square kilometres.

At the same time another batch of rain worked its way out of france, across the Channel Islands and towards southern counties of england. A cool and like into the Summer Solstice. High Pressure Building and the azores high, that that when we had the other week but to the north about, bringing in cool Air Interacting with that rain we will see through the English Channel stopping the big uncertainty is how far north as rembrandt gets, looks mainly across southern asked counties but it could get into the midlands, maybe East Anglia at times too. Away from that it should be a dry and bright day but with a northerly breeze for the stage in latejune, it is going to be a cool one, temperatures for some only around 13 16 degrees.
