In hour two of Here & Now's May 19, 2017 full broadcast, millions of Iranians vote Friday to decide the country's next president. We speak with Steve Inskeep, who is in Iran, about what voters are saying on election day. Also, Lisa Ko's debut novel "The Leavers" tells the story of Deming Guo, whose mother Polly, an immigrant from China living in the U.S. illegally, disappears when he's 11 years old. And with suicide rates on the rise, mental health advocates are searching for prevention answers.
