To rubble a ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia hangs by a thread after more attacks from both sides. Donald trump says hes no longer you no longer has the coronavirus a claim backed up by his physician but theres still no official negative test result. And very remote corner of chile where scientists are investigating a possible mutation of covert 90 a strain that is far more contagious. We begin in nigeria where a notorious elite police unit has been disbanded with immediate effect it follows renewed street protests and a powerful Online Campaign which harness the hash tag and size all saw as the special and. Robbery squad had been operating in nigeria for decades and was accused of unlawful arrests torture and even murder and it was banned 3 times before reforms were announced this week thousands of people filled the streets of nigeria after a video came to light allegedly showing members of the unit shooting and killing a man in delta state then on sunday nigerias police chief announced that the squad would be this founded but all its officers will be read the ploy within the police force a move which has angered activists who continue to call for justice and idris reports now from the capital abuja. After 5 days of demonstrations that in some cases turned violent protests us leaving that victory of protest began 6 days ago after a man was allegedly shot and killed by members of the police unit called the special and to robbery squad or sauce the police chief said dissolving the unit whose members have father turnage the image of the police was a necessity for a force that is in serious need of changes this patient a rogue rescored of the Nigerian Police and there was no nonsense is here by deserved across or formations. The. Police command and the territory where they are currently is used so a new squad will be set up to tackle Violent Crimes and that Civil Society will now work with the police to identify and punish officers found committing abuses but Civil Society wants to see officers already accused of murder and other crimes be punished both by their victory activists now want to push for more accountability from judges and politicians but it does show you know corruption is very you know high legislative corruption is going on and it is the act of corruption is going on so definitely all the institution or the Public Institution needs serious reform in order to respond to the aspiration of nigerians you cannot have an organization that is that was to be run by a law and order and it is completely drained you know cut it out it bit is with impunity on the streets many say they have heard it all before. Is that if. The government had been banned that banned it is something i dont see come up again so. The fact that nigerians can actually got there and so will cause actually and to do things that people. People know that we have a voice they assist dissolving the entrepreneur it alone is not enough they want officers guilty of the crimes they have been accused of punished and that is what nigerians will be watching out for before the new Police Outfit is formed. Al jazeera of which are all say are gigo is that the rector of Amnesty International and jerry and she joins us now via skype from adam thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so 1st of all your reaction to the news that assad is the special anti robbery squad has been disbanded. Thank you for having me we are actually waiting to get more concrete information from the idea of police because this is not the 1st time that theyve tried to and the fear is that they are going to do something want them to actually bring those offices that we matthews they have this information aerated they have been complaints weve also issued reports of several minutes or eos sections in the states where atrocities are committed so who actually lot them to say this is what were going to do investigate and before every deployment any officers to make sure doesnt have the specific and the mean or the complaints it gives that are set aside and to actually prosecute it but are you happy that any kind of clarity is actually being shed at this moment thats the how any of this will happen because already were hearing that the officers will be redeployed within the police force which obviously would mean that a lot of people who have accused the sars of committing atrocities would not get justice. And that exactly is one of the challenges weve seen when we investigated some of the reports we received founder that whenever of his says i have been accused of torture or extrajudicial executions sometimes this investigations by the police are stop because the obvious as i deployed so it would be if you have complete if the 80 chooses to redeploy or the officers concerned with that physical injury screening process and ensuring that those down ready have is the answer and dealt with separately before any of the deployment experience we also would like to see a timeline because right now everything is just in the clouds theres no specific dates and no one knows who is going to be in charge of the redeployment and how theyre going to ensure that this sort of atrocities do not happen again. I mean as you mentioned this isnt the 1st time that sars has been banned or disband that as a group in itself do you think that at the root of this is a lack of will by the authorities or authorities or do you think that actually it may also be a lack of power power of the ability to really address some of the power structure be behind sars and many of the crimes that its members have been accused of. The sad reality for many of was working in area and even a manger is the fact that impunity has been allowed to remain for a very long time this fight the eightys by means of sas the emmaus men came out this afternoon in west syria receiving reports of police are asked in protest as between protesters where you are in shock your reports about people losing their lives because police are using Excessive Force during the reason why they continue to do this despite the fact that if it got in the highest order from the higher it is because they believe nothing will happen to them and that is something we want to see change and its not enough for the ordinary teased to see theyre going to do something we want them to match it with action because time and time again off he says after not being brought to justice and this has allowed this sort of breakdown of law and order that we are seeing in the country today one of the reasons why this announcement was made about the sars being this band there is obviously the protests that we have seen across the geria for days now the strong Online Campaign with the hash tag and the size do you think that that will keep going until people are satisfied that its not just being theres not Just Lip Service being paid to size being the span the but that something actually will be done about the situation. From what indications people are very angry and justifiably sore almost everyone knows the story of someone who has been affected by these unit and by the police in general and so its important for. Me this to come out now to respond to the needs of the community and it can only do that by empathizing with people and being given that reassurance that justice would be served if a stick would be to state clearly the case is there davis to get it or not be transparent i mean sure that seems to say the actors and independent human rights commissions like the National Commission would be allowed to access many of the venues where the central cities are being committed is all the answers that we people then begin to see that the government is going to match action with its words and that the police are if you get the support they need in order to do this great sweep they sweep and madam you rightly point out all the ways that people should remain alert and aware about you know the things that should happen to thing forward but do you think that generally speaking what weve heard today that from the police chief that the stars are be disbanded is good news a step in the right direction. I think its a step in the right direction in terms of stopping the excessive use of the sas to be treated crimes in one geria well we want Something Better will be long lasting so disbanding this unit and creating another you need to have more than me that will continue to commit atrocities will still not be acceptable we want to complete all the whole or all of the practices of the police in the name to read they need to respect International Man who understand this and they need to ensure that our operating within the law right now what we have rule of you says that no one can do anything to them and. To try to. Go director of Amnesty International in nigeria madam thank you so much for sharing your views with us thank you thank you for having me and coming up on aljazeera this news hour Turkish Cypriots cast their vote for president as tensions grow over Gas Exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean.

As arbet john hasnt disclosed how many of his troops have been killed in the very very. Government the president youre absolutely correct supported the ceasefire this is a very important question very minimal do you know how to do the humanitarian function. There is a serious humanitarian mission to the result immediately the cease fire was brokered by the kremlin just 2 days ago it was expected to provide an opportunity to exchange dead and injured soldiers as well as prisoners the International Red cross says the prisoner swap scheduled for saturday never happened were actually in regular discussions the size of the nature of our involvement however for now the date for the operation to begin is in the hands of the size and the our International Committee of the right process ready to change.

My. My. Just over a week after the u. S. President tested positive for corona virus donald trump has told fox news he no longer has the illness and that he believes. He made the comments a day after his 1st public appearance since revealing he had caught the virus his physician sean conley said in a statement hed taken a test showing he was no longer a transmission risk well lets go live to aljazeera as gabriel is on though in washington d. C. So get real president from says hes at a total and complete signed off from his doctor and what does this actually mean when it comes to the basic question of as he tested negative for coven. Well thats the real question and thats the very simple question that everybody is asking but the white house and the white house doctor simply is not answering they just simply will not give an answer at all if he has tested negative and if so when and that is really the fundamental question nevertheless as you mentioned the white house doctor putting out that pretty vague statement on saturday evening that a lot of people had a hard time interpret ing exactly what he was trying to say there but trump seizing on that letter from his doctor basically saying that hes no longer a transmission risk any more trump coming out on twitter and basically saying im clear im good to go but it was very misleading and even twitter itself said that that tweet by the president violated twitters rules on spreading misleading and potentially harmful covert information so they put a warning up on the president s tweet that so this is essentially where were at right now now theres more controversy following the president right now because his Campaign Just put out an advertisement touting his being released from the hospital and getting this in his words a clean bill of health so to speak but in this advertisement they have a brief quote in there from the Infectious Disease head here in the u. S. Dr Anthony Fauci this is what the campaign ad is and ill tell you after why it is so controversial. President is recovering from the coronavirus is america together to meet the challenge protecting our seniors getting them lifesaving drugs in record time sparing no expense President Trump topping the virus head on this leadership a kid that anybody could do we will get through this to get. Attention like a spring and dump your truck and i approve this message. Now you heard dr Anthony Fauci say there i cant imagine anyone doing anything more its insinuates that hes referring to President Donald Trump but he wasnt that was part of an interview that dr fauci gave to fox news in march of this year and he was talking about if you listen to the whole quote about the federal government as a whole never the less the campaign took that little snippet of it and decided to use it giving a very wrong impression dr fauci is quite upset he said he did not give his permission for this to be used in the campaign and so now we have another controversy here and now there are new polls that are coming out showing that 62 percent of the American People when asked if they believe what the president says about coronavirus 62 percent say they simply do not believe or do not trust President Donald Trump on coronavirus nevertheless the president is expected to travel to florida for a Campaign Rally on monday and then on tuesday and wednesday as other Campaign Rallies in iowa and pennsylvania will give you are going to mention that poll in more detail just now but for the moment gabriel is on the with the latest from washington d. C. Thank you. So with just 3 weeks to go until the u. S. President ial election the latest poll shows how much the coronavirus pandemic has hurt donald trump them a tragic nominee joe biden holds a 17 point lead over trump on the question of who voters would trust more to handle the pandemic 62 percent surveyed said that they distrust what trump says about the virus biden holds a 12 point lead over trump nationally among both registered and likely voters and it is women who are giving him the advantage biden leads at 59 to 36 percent among female voters the widest margin among women for any president ial candidate in polling dating back to 1976. Well joining us now is eric hebron league a professor of Political Science and Public Administration at the university of North Carolina charlotte sir thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so its obviously been quite an eventful week really when it comes to the president and the coronavirus what do you make of this latest poll and how much do you think that donald trump actually contracting cove it has affected these numbers. It was a big week and weve seen a shift slightly in the poll towards biden what we dont know yet is whether thats a short term shift in reaction merely to the events of the week were rather than a shift saying that some of the undecided voters have now made up their mind and theyre shifting in the direction of joe biden hopefully the polls this week and next we go to sort of that it all has to be said that 4 years ago roughly the same time Hillary Clinton was ahead by 12 points so how trustworthy are these polls in the 1st place. Yeah thats what i was holding out committing to say that the undecided voters of have now decided because we had the access Hollywood Tape in 2016 where
