And azerbaijan accuse each other of serious. Celebrations in kyrgyzstan as a new Prime Minister is named by the opposition says it will only strengthen the president s prepon power and this coronavirus cases surge in the netherlands the Government Faces scrutiny over its decision to favor personal liberty over public protection. U. S. President donald trump has held his 1st public event since testing positive for the coronavirus trump addressed 200. 00 of his supporters from the white house balcony focusing on what he has described as law and order that most of the people attending were part of a campaign urging black americans believe that them across party may. They were not Wearing Masks despite accuse ations the white house hosted a socalled corona virus a super spreader event just last month trump use these address to discredit 1000 lockdown policies which he branded unscientific while also attacking democratic president ial candidate joe biden trump fell ill with covert 19 last week and there are concerns he may still be contagious because hes yet to provide the results will be. Well i decided not to attend any White House Events on site for safety reasons so our White House Correspondent kimberly how kit is stationed just a block away from the white house and joins us now so kimberly this was billed as an official event and not a Campaign Rally but the president really did turn it into a Campaign Rally didnt he. Yeah he really did he spoke for roughly 18 minutes which is significantly shorter than the president s typical Campaign Rallies and youre right the press office call this an official event but this was a very much an event designed by the president to show that he has emerged triumphant from being sick from covert night that he has in the his words dominated this virus and that is now encouraging other americans to do the same the president arrived onto the balcony wearing a mask but he took it off just speak and while this president says that he is really just trying to show the public that hes feeling better that this virus can be conquered it was clear this was a Campaign Event or he attacked his democratic president ial rival joe biden multiple times. And i went out to say hello to those people and took a little heat for it but i do it again let me tell you right there with the old. On behalf of myself and the 1st lady it just has been really an incredible outpouring and were starting very very big with our rallies and with our everything because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation if we can not let that happen was so kimberly when can we expect a return to the official campaign trail for the president. Well so far there is nothing on the president s schedule for sunday but that all changes on monday the president has announced he will have a large camp a Campaign Style rally on monday again on tuesday and even on wednesday in other words it doesnt look like hes going to stop between now and the november 3rd president ial election hell be hitting battleground states and it is clear that the president is in full Campaign Mode some of the themes that hes expected to continue to pick up as he did today law and order creating jobs but mostly he is playing on the fears of Many Americans about potentially if joe biden were elected and what that would look like the president accusing him of his opponent of having far left policies and once again trying to sort of portray socialism as a dirty word so these are some of the themes that we expect the president d will push forward with but again when it comes to his own recovery its been less than the recommended 14 days in quarantine and because there has been little transparency from the white house its still not clear if the president is no longer contagious having said that the president and the press secretary say that if the president is contagious he will not be appearing in public but he had that again theyve never revealed his test results to ordinary americans that soon have to go to the polls and decide whether or not they want donald trump in the white house for another term. Can really help you with the latest there from what washington d. C. Kimberly thank you and for more on the story were joined by aaron call whos that the rector of the bay to the university of michigan he joins us via skype from novi in michigan sir thank you for joining us here on aljazeera as we were hearing from our White House Correspondent there we dont actually know the president has tested positive we know he was in hospital not that long ago 1st of all how did he look to you i mean this was sort of i guess in a way a Campaign Event what did you make of his performance. Yes its great to be with you and yes it was a typical Campaign Performance he was you know on about me with some distance from. Supporters there who were there to see him speak and the way he looked pretty good hes in the last several days you know made a big deal of doing videos and other events to make him look like hes you know business as normal but you know youd certainly have a better idea if he was more closely interacting with people might think that will get that once he regains the campaign trail and has more interaction with the press and reporters they feel will get a much better idea of exactly how hes doing and how hes feeling but from today it certainly hes trying to project the image of that hes returned to normal with just less than 3 weeks left of the election and very much pushing always the line that coveted code lockdowns and on the sarah lee the way to go forward we saw some people at that meeting with masks but not much social distancing what message do you think all of that same to the American People who are dealing of course with an increasing number of infections and thats. Yes exactly you know were now up to you know 50000. 00 cases per day still around. Today and the message hes trying to project is kind of business as normal we need to return to the economy as soon as possible we dont want to shut down the economy again and so that certainly with these events with the rallies a large rallies it airplane hangars and things like that he would like the subject to be anything but coronavirus so close the election but but as you mentioned its kind of a mixed message not just whether hes you know could infect people or as a risk to them because exactly you know if you still positive and you know potentially showing newsies is unknown but those people in the Campaign Rally are also at risk there wasnt much this is the train them like you mentioned most had masks but not all and weve seen in previous rallies not just the rose garden event with Amy Tony Barrett but also he had a Campaign Rally in oklahoma. I want to minnesota in these events you know people do get sick and some people have died so it is a risk you know for some of these events and so its really a mixed message for health and perspective that the white house is sending by by doing this ok were having some glitches with sound but lets just try out one more question we know that members of his base in a way will agree with anything he says and certainly agree with his take on the coronavirus but how do you think the past 10 days a week or so have impacted the Republican Party do you think that members of the Party Representatives there are perhaps slightly unimpressed with how hes handled his own illness and the messages that he sent through it. I do hasnt gone well in Public Opinion polls nationally or in swing states Vice President pence did his best during the debate in order to try to defend the emissions position but its very difficult and weve seen distance put between some of the senators and President Trump recently with Mitch Mcconnell complaining about the protocols of the white house regarding coronavirus a senator cornyn in texas and so i think as we get closer to election especially those vulnerable republican senators especially are going to try to. Draw a line with the president and advocate for more forceful testing and contact racing and things like that we just saw joni ernst a senator from iowa saying that she thinks all members of the Senate Judiciary committee should get tested before those hearings but they make up the very next week so i do think well see a rift between the senate and the president because they have their own political concerns to worry about because theyre on the ballot as well in less than a month and so just briefly do you think that contract think of it 19 in the way hes handled it will have damaged his chances or enhanced them. Or definitely damaged i mean out of all the issues this is what is worse his you know position on whether its taken too seriously he would love the election to be a focus on the economy its from court about an issue coronavirus he gets 4 marks and since hes contracted it his numbers politically have only gone down so deftly you know her and called the rector of the bet at the university of michigan joining us from novi in michigan sarah thank you thank you. Well still to come here on aljazeera this news hour an equal footing with china thats taiwans precondition for tension easing talks forced from their homes by violence and now by floods families escape a new tragedy in south sudan. North korea has this played what are believed to be a previously unseen Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles the weapons were seen during a parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Ruling Workers Party bride reports from seoul. An impressive show of force through the streets of pyongyang this parade dont usually held at night time adding to the sense of drama no social distancing and no masks in sight so liberating the countrys continued claims to be free of coronavirus visibly moved leader kim jong un praised his countrys efforts in keeping the virus out. Im really grateful that not a Single Person is infected we managed to protect the people from this contagion. North korea has also been hit by devastating typhoon and summer rains damage that kim is reported to have taken personal charge in dealing with and its exacerbated the ongoing affects of sanctions and effectively being cut off from the outside world kim needed this show of strength in the context he want to use to t. Heres audience he want to show up here a strong leader it is necessary for the kingdom leadership tour or sure educate it and show us north korean population that things will eventually be ok this parade showcased what are thought to be new missiles and transporters with the star of the show whats claimed to be a newly developed into continental Ballistic Missile its a reminder that in spite of denuclearization talks with the u. S. North korea has continued to expand its arsenal in recent years future relations between the United States and north korea might be on hold until after the u. S. Election but south Korea Remains optimistic it can still achieve closer into korean ties thats despite a number of setbacks in recent months. Souring relations culminated in the destruction of a Liaison Office by north korea in june and the cutting of communication hotlines between the north and south but kim says he still holds hopes of reconciliation had a hand in the new year i wish the best for the people in the south in a fast recovery from the pandemic so that we can hold hands together soon came also apologized for failing to meet his peoples expectations and a sign of humility not often exhibited by a north korean leader. The country may be suffering from problems on many fronts but none of that was on show on this night of mcbride al jazeera. So. There have been reports of fresh shelling in the disputed in the corner karabakh region despite a cease fire aimed at halting fighting between armenia and azerbaijan both sides accuse each other of seriously violating the truce earlier azerbaijan said it carried out airstrikes against armenian tanks while armenia has accused its neighbor of killing a civilian near its southeast border town of couple barnets smith has. Stepped in are curtis taken a battering these last 2 weeks as a by john has thrown the latest high tech israeli and turkish supplied weaponry at this town and the surrounding areas of nagornokarabakh the ceasefire has allowed people to risk emerging from their shelters. A cease fire is good certainly good but the problem must be solved you cant have a ceasefire and several years later or again a cease fire must solve the problem that is our independence. Independence is very unlikely this is internationally recognized as azerbaijani territory but its governed by Ethnic Armenians a previous ceasefire lasted more than 26 years but the status of Nagorno Karabakh went on resolved a ceasefire allows both sides to assess the capabilities of each other and for the armenians there must be a new appreciation of the technically advanced and destructive weaponry that their adversary hearts. And what has surprised armenians in karabakh is turkeys open support for azerbaijan if well there is also a direct involvement of told keep and i dont see that told his going to pull out from the region it means that we have to somehow you know change some geopolitical approaches so far with state strength. For the string strengthen our relations with brows of countries russia United States iran and china. In the is very town of tartar these buildings were hit by armenian artillery before the ceasefire we dont support the ceasefire our enemy shall face what they deserve maybe 10 times more than what they did to us before. These were homes built for some of the 10s of thousands of his areas displaced from territory next to karabakh that armenia talk in the 190124 war now theyre on the move again. International community or a series group which airs should take responsibility and transforms a current moment to change the momentum of state school it is a durable peace to focus on his rule of armenian troops from the white there is of course a return russia says armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to substantially if peace talks for them to work both sides will have to make the sort of compromises on territorial sovereignty that theyve never been willing to make before. Bernard smith jazeera step on a current nagornokarabakh kurdistans parliament has named the new Prime Minister 5 days after the disputed election the appointment of said the as a part of this seen by the opposition as strengthening president sort of by yemen calls hold on power 51 year old is a part of was serving in 11 year sentence for kidnapping when he was freed by supporters from prison in the chaos that followed sundays vote his appointment as Prime Minister happened just a few hours after former president by a of was the tane he had himself survived what appears to be an a cessation attempt on friday and the rest is great to the Central Asian nation since the election but for now there is calm a state of emergency will remain in place for 3 days charles fractured reports now from the capital bishkek where a curfew is now in effect. Incredible change in atmosphere incredible events of the last 24 hours to imagine that this square was so chaotic last this time yesterday yesterday afternoon we had clashes between rival protest groups there was the shooting of the car of the former president and seemingly no rule of law whatsoever to get spare me safe to say that we are beginning to see the rule of law returning this parliamentary session this evening the parliamentary speaker has announced that there will be no discussion of the state of emergency in this session however the state of emergency is active for the next 3 days starting from 9 oclock this evening and if parliament has not approved that state of emergency decree to extend it within 3 days then the decree becomes no and void so as i say it just does seem as if certainly lord all that does seem to be returning the other very interesting thing that has come from this parliamentary session is the endorsement officially of the new Prime Minister this man saturday of power all of that a lot of people have been speaking very disparagingly of he was freed by protesters his supporters. In the postelection chaos on monday night he was serving an 11 year jail term for kidnapping. He all week has been. Basically quite quite outspoken hes considered to have a very sort of nationalist tendencies a lot of support amongst the Rural Communities will kyrgyzstan he supports is very happy with this disappointment officially off him as the new pm there celebrating not far from here but of course you know his legal status is still can be called into question considering that as a last this time last week he was serving an 11 year jail. Well in his acceptance speech at the Emergency Parliament session the Prime Minister the new Prime Minister sadly is a part of had a message for the young people involved in the recent protests. Going on using this opportunity or id like to 1st of all bow my head for the people and especially the youth who risked their lives and came on to the square to stand for justice and for the idea of legitimacy after gaining a deep understanding of the political situation in the country everyone has taken a step toward returning to legality and deciding to stabilise the present situation in adherence with the law thats going to south sudan now where families already displaced by fighting have again been forced from their homes this time because of flooding with aid agencies facing an emergency situation they say many people are struggling to find a dry shelter and clean water and theyre warning that water borne diseases are spreading fast laura bird and land live reports theyve been described as the worst rains in living memory. Some property across south sudan submerged under a muddy water. Livestock killed harvests decimated livelihoods destroyed the wet season started in july and has since flooded hoffa sit on 78 counties tens of thousands of people have fled their homes to seek dry land but before the rains came the dry season also puts placement mother 7 vogel paolo fled her home when the floodwaters rose no belligerent genine she had already twice been forced from her that its the here because of ethnic fighting our home was hit by floods before so when this flood came we left we dont have plastic sheeting for shelter or can you we were displaced by the fighting and we fled but we came back. A war that started in 2013 led to millions of people being displaced. Even though a ceasefire was signed 2 years ago Armed Conflict and ethnic fighting persists. Regina chan hasnt left her village even though her home is surrounded by water the us says shes doing what she can to help her sister who fled from the nearby village when fighting broke out they have nothing because they came with him to hand everything on the now even if theyre. On the market and on top of that. Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders says the villages there now have to contend with water borne illnesses and malaria. Huge huge rates of malaria causatively which were treating at clinics of the mobile clinic were also seeing. A growing spike in reasons cases here were also very concerned about Food Insecurity 12 months of school has led to a life or food shortage in the area the flooding of violence have left people in desperate need of food shelter and water many cant see an end to the suffering nor about a band the al jazeera the World Health Organization has warned european nations to take the size of action to curb the continents soaring coburg 1000 infection rates its urging countries to limit large gatherings or expect tough lockdowns the number of near daily cases across europe past 100000 on friday in france on saturday the French Health Ministry Said almost 27000 infections were confirmed in the previous 24 hours thats the highest daily rate since the pandemic began well the netherlands has now become a covert 1000. 00 hot spot with more infection spread of population than either the United States or spain but it hasnt yet led to a tightening of measures from a government anxious not to restrict peoples liberty that fasten has more. Only people with flu like symptoms can be freely tested for cope with 19 in the netherlands if theyre lucky enough some say they had to wait up to 4 days to get an appointment at one of the Testing Centers infection rates have gone up dramatically and have reach an International High in the past week hospitals are struggling to treat patients and have had to cancel operations the situation is very shares in the netherlands particularly in amsterdam the hague on the right of them were short of hospital beds were still have some i. C. U. Capacity there was the rapidly increasing number of corona patients we also very concerned says we will run out of i. C. U. Capacity after the 1st wave the authorities implemented a test and trace policy in an effort to contain new infections but due to recent explosive numbers Contact Tracing of infected people has become impossible not of hope month since its 1st instructions the netherlands are still struggling to test people with covert symptoms every day thousands can be tested due to a lack of cities in laboratories somehow say this is one of the reasons the government over response was failing climatically you need strong leadership thats the other thing lacking according to a team of experts given input to the government. Who worked on the sars epidemic in singapore and in my point of view this is absent in the netherlands and i think this has led basically to collect off an adequate and clear coordinated response but the government says this is a democratic country we cant apply the same rules as theyre applied in china and singapore this is a crisis in a crisis in need leadership. So i think that argument falls short in the case of an emergency she blames the government for putting the responsibility solidly on individuals about whether to wear a face mask in shops the government made a turnaround last week after months of saying mass dont protect against the virus its now advising people to wear one and i think some situations is better because now its like in some places you do have to wear in places you dont so confuse a lot of people for example in a supermarket you dont think about bring your face mask i think its good that in the netherlands we have freedom of. Choice you know we are smart people you know and. Mark people with the highest cope with infections in the world i know i know despite the rapidly rising numbers the government doesnt want to impose stricter measures as of yet Prime Minister overdoes called the dutch public childish and evil and i get stick for not following social distancing guidance but if infection rates continue to go up you may just might be announced soon step fasten aljazeera to them but with many countries facing a 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic new restrictions are being introduced or existing existing ones extended and its leading to whats being termed pandemic fatigue dawson as a psychologist and personality behavior specialist she believes that some governments are contributing to that fatigue by delivering mixed messages. We never actually recovered from the 1st wave completely before we were thrown into the 2nd wave. You know people are just fed up now i think by age group and by occupation you can see the differences amongst older people and those who are more conservative and law abiding there is this kind of wary resignation well weve got to do this for the common good and we may not like it but weve got to do it but were starting to see more dissent amongst younger age groups and that age group is expanding beyond 30 i would say 17 now up to about 3540 of course weve had University Students going back to a situation where theyre in lockdown in their local dormitories theyre upset that theyre not getting the education theyre paid for so what we seem to be getting is a lot of very unwell thought out legislation that keeps changing backtracking so theres a lot more thinking now about whats actually being asked of us and whether its possible to continue doing it you know christmas is coming up people are worried whether theyre going to be able to see their families or even their friends the rule of 6 what does that mean does it mean 6 different households and now it seems to me just to theres a lot of confusion and i think people are saying what is the message were waiting on monday for a new set of messages which seems to reflect the traffic light system of red green and amber thats going to apply different rules to different groups of us so i just hope we all understand it and we all want to do it because right now a lot of confusion out that the rebellion and weariness. Still to come on aljazeera this news hour gunfire arson and abductions and Gang Violence in bangladesh is rocking the refugee camps for says thousands of. And drumming up support for Better Living conditions argentinians the land of hope the foreign debt repayments. Hello tempers are coming down of course is that time the nice to see the sunshine is not quite enough of this wrap around low of a scandinavia and this frontal system the holdouts is driving a northerly wind which usually brings sunshine to the British Isles and it will do which of 14 degrees you would quite like but afternoon showers be well generated france and low countries as sun starts to reappear in denmark with the place to watch the old italy in slovenia and the coast of croatia thats potentially flash flood territory thats for example in venice going to be a wet day but a monday tuesday its fine again because this whole lot of is moving south down towards northern greece and southern italy an active frontal system so its on the storms 30 heavy rain for a short time still potential flash close to some of the ground in greece is still saturated as it is in france the next system is coming into northern france not heavy rain but rain all the same temperature dropping in spain and portugal still 18. 00 to 20. 00 degrees as a range north africa as a whole is a dry picture now weve seen extensive flooding this season in nigeria 3 more showers to come here more especially still further west yes they can still generate hearkens but most of the rain now of course is going south with the sun into d. R. Congo. In the deprived villages of northern argentina theres one man with a solution to every problem.

Welcome back heres a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera u. S. President donald trump has held his 1st public event since testing positive for the coronavirus trump addressed 200. 00 of his supporters from the white house focusing on what hes described as a war and order north korea has displayed what are believed to be previously unseen intercontinental Ballistic Missile the weapons one show during a parade marking the 1st of the Workers Party. And the parliament has named the new Prime Minister 5 days after the disputed election the appointment of said the butt off is seen by the opposition as strengthening president. On power. Its going to brazil now where the death toll from the coronavirus has just passed a 150000 and is now the 2nd highest in the world the number of infections past 5w5w and when state president hateable so not only has downplayed the risks of covert 19 while Scientists Say the public are becoming impatient monica have reports now from rio de janeiro. Apart from this there are a few signs of a lockdown in a country that has just passed the mark of 5000000 couvade 1000 cases reassembled drum has been closed indefinitely and next years carnival parade postponed until a covert 19 vaccine is on the market. But that isnt keeping people from dancing samba on the streets with no social distancing and very few masks. All as brazil reaches 150001000 related deaths the 2nd largest number in the world. I feel that people especially here in the slums act as if nothing were happening as if the pandemic were. A crowded few people where mosques everybody acts relaxed but the truth is hundreds of dying every day. The fact the president shade bozo nono has been downplaying the virus even after having contract it it does not help. Health professionals are worried that a 2nd wave will arrive before the 1st one is over. Brazil is reopening is a corner me but he never implemented a complete lockdown now 6 months later be even more difficult to restrict activities the population is part of the pandemic. Researcher phil nanda borza says the best way to keep the virus under control is by increasing the testing hes part of a task force created by doctors scientists and volunteers from 9 different organisations the idea is to bring health and communication professionals to reuse most vulnerable areas like the complex and the modern and. There are big things lumps in the complex of the mud at 140000 people live here the population is bigger than that of 97 percent of brazilian cities. Tests have shown that the number of infections in poor areas can be 4 times greater than in rich neighborhoods by tracking down people who have the virus they hope to stop it from spreading. Were trying to do what should have been done in the beginning once you identify where the classes are then we can see who they have been in contact with and work with the community to help them isolate or receive treatment even. But catching up with the virus in a country of 200000000 is not an easy task monica ill just sirrah rio de janeiro. Protesters are on the streets of nigeria for a 4th successive day demanding the abolition of the Controversial Police special anti robbery squad known as sars they say police fired live rounds and tear gas on peaceful marchers protests broke out on wednesday in response to a viral video of a man allegedly shot by sars interests has more now from the capital of. Violence as demonstrations against alleged Police Brutality gather momentum across nigeria. Demonstrate to say this man was shot by Security Forces but the video cannot be independently verified. In the capital more than 100. 00 protesters have camped out in front of the countrys Police Headquarters demanding a police unit known as the special and to the robbery squad or styles i. Q. Used of carrying out extrajudicial killings and extortion be disbanded. You know in knowing yes brother was last seen in Police Detention in 2012 the family assumes hes been killed and for no reason his sister says the familys petition to the police for access to him dead or alive was ignored i never had an opportunity. To know what what kind of meat that one did wrong and why he was killed so its not easy for me to be here and i think i was the only one not just in the budget and not of young faces in nigeria or distilleries you know bending young people until these were in fact the country funny this is the real world was they need police unit set up to tackle robbery and Violent Crimes has over the years been accused of murder extortion and disappearances. After the recent allegations nigerias police chief banned the unit from routine patrols and setting up roadblocks saying such crimes were not routine in the force. The special unto robbery squad has been banned 3 times before but each time theyve managed to reform protesters nigeria is mainly in their twentys and thirtys arledge top been particularly targeted by this lead Police Force Unit but Security Officials say this is the age group that is mostly involved in online fraud. And its each group mainly impacted by high unemployment you see you made your love highfields the her is the reason i want to look good what you since you are well enough in this economy or you are in fact you did the technological system of this country i thought it was after meeting the countrys most Senior Police officer president obama called for swift investigation and punishment to policeman responsible for the killing that led to the current round of violence but many protests to say the only action that will keep them off the streets is the government doing what its failed to do so far. Is bending this patient and to oprahs cord for good. Aljazeera object but well joining us now from london is human rights lawyer cathy who represented the family of her son alpha in a 2013 murder case against the Police Special and robbery squad so thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera before looking at the issue more widely id like for you to tell us just specifically about that case the house and. Case what was the judgment it was 2013 so quite a few years ago what was the judgment from the courts and what happened then. Thank you very much for having me the judgement in that case was very clear that her son was killed as a result of that between he received at the hands of suspect offices in kind of and the Court Ordered that the police pays 10000000 naira as compensation to the family then does a public apology to the family and that the Inspector General of this should do something about the police focus is involved in the killing of a house and now. The Police Officers involved were had joined in the kids they were and then we named them in the process got quite a process and one of them was the officer in charge of sas but none of those orders given by the card was carried out by the least not they did not comply with any of the orders instead of investigating and prosecuting the Police Officers involved in next thing we had was that the officer in charge of advice that keeley of the disease had been promoted to become the head of such at the National Headquarters in a pool job where he was really a wonderful t. V. And this young man worth 24 years old and had been admitted to the American University of cairo he was reported to them weeks before he nestle cairo and he was killed but they got your wonderful it by being grown much it could become the exercise in a job. Not mine is it as i expected you know. Not judea. I am assuming that when none of the things that the Court Ordered be done word that you the family appealed complained or what happened to those complaints we appealed we wrote an appeal to the Inspector General list which was never a no action was taken into respect and we kept complaining we complained more than 3 times there have been reports in this in local media in nigeria but it is clear that is case of impunity because we mean the system once Police Officers investigate themselves by themselves and that will never happen it is meg as didnt investigate and prosecute him so unfortunately the case of a has an office is far from being unique as we can see from the protests that continue now for days in nigeria so what do you think is different this time weve seen social media be mobilized as well the hash tag and saw as are you confident that the changes of the protests this time will yield to changes which in your words is not a reform really youre talking about the spending the core yes or the issue is what we have seen to date and the days before today and what we might see in the days to come i mean asian o. B. E. s im got an outcry. Most of the night unions you see putting out to the streets today the people who are happening about protest in their lives but they are protesting this time i dont because they have not been victims or they know people who have been victims of sas no not judea and is he had about ready to come up felt. That brutality as a kid has and is just one of the chances are persecuted against that i many others have us and only been threatened by them physically and the most once and that devices and i can tell you every night you dems use it and get with the momentum has got that this time around we want to stand it clear message not amount of reform will be enough we dont want any information what we want is complete and total disappointment of size we want it we want to get rid of it and thats a good. Number one. Sas has outlived its relevance it was a unit that was set up at time when when im slow but we were so im going to Nigeria Today or late in banking has meant people not to go i dont and that will. Has formed into youve now been into country roslin and others and there. Has to be in the forest where we have a look at i dont know where we have given up and where we have got to rest muscular nigerians not in the cities are asked in. Ordinary nigerians now but who this government has really successful or times in the last 4 years and it is a that they have not done any reform all their system reform if they have not done if there is no reason why we should trust them now but if they have done 3 different reforms and so as not to be formed it sure is that it is an informal and irredeemably evil and theyll call it you know full quote we dont want it they are meant to protect nigerians and that you know you. Know we dont want this system we dont want this team and there is no reason why the government we enforce i mean as you mentioned the government has sort of paid lip service to some kind of reformation for years then on sunday we heard from the Inspector General of police saying that they wanted to ban size from carrying out stop and search duties and setting up road blocks as opposed my question to you you have explained very clearly why you think it should be effectively the span that and everything thats wrong with it but i wonder whether you think that the things that are happening now in nigeria show that there is a real i suppose a real push perhaps social media or other reasons for for which now would be different than all the other measures that have tried to be implemented in the past years yeah i think so. Your idea Inspector General listen. Spoken lets send it but hes hes statement was too little too late its statement but its hollow and empty because hes been downplaying activities he was there and for official that what is not professional and that is clear cut cream in the. First criminal activity but this time around nigerians have done what they have never done it will have slept on the streets because we are protesting at a london tomorrow and many people will be protesting across the world and this time around we would miss you are so proud of what we go back home that is not a moment of no i wont leave some of these that will get as our listeners like i said nigerians enough and they are now this time seen enough is enough and i can assure you what we have seen in nigeria these days people have got days to size i mean Police Headquarters in different states and its never that and thats to send you the message that even though you have lets you have guys who will do what you have to use butyl well the lives are of course against us we will continue to fight for our rights. And the government you get this message here so.
