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. A fragile cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan is under threat following attacks from both sides in the conflict over nagornokarabakh new fighting has killed at least 8 people and there is a search for survivors buried beneath the rubble as area Officials Say the 2nd city of ganja was struck by missiles in the early hours of sunday morning seen in close a glow reports now from ganja. The scene again just barely 24 hours since a cease fire was agreed between our mania and azerbaijans armed forces devastation despair and bought it backs. Thanks for elative grief for their debt 2 years and destruction appears to be all that is left for man as a reason again as more bodies are pulled from that after. The pain of losing their children and other relatives is a compared with anger they say theyve already suffered enough in 30 years of this conflict. Will destroy them we dont want to cease fire they killed our children through again just been hit by several me saw strikes in the past week but this one was particularly destructive neighbors said there are other civilians under the rubble one all that has been found and taken out from here some of the fence units are clearing they re of journalists for safety and to avoid any close up pictures of the possible bodies. That unsplit are made now for their suffering this family lives a few metres from where the missile hit i know rally of i ses with her brothers help they barely managed to rescue her children who were about to suffocate under to rubble her mother emilia was the last one to get out severely injured almost. No gore no kind of eyes also suffering its main city stuff thank you that was again under heavy fire overnight but Authorities Say its been calmer on sunday. And they report 429 Ethnic Armenian soldiers have been killed in the fighting so far yet another one was buried by his family in tears. 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. And support the sides. Against humanity are not like a shanty release of the detainees the latest fighting between azerbaijan and armenia forces began to weeks ago hundreds of people have been killed since then and a worse escalation since the separatist war in a corner caught up i ended in 1994 the region blocks are surveyed john but its controlled by Ethnic Armenian forces backed by our men as government during fighting in the past many lost trust in cease fires the latest hasnt got off to a hopeful start to now because although aljazeera can just reach out. 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 President Trump was quoted as saying hed like to grab women by the generals there was a big shift in the polls but of course it didnt last so well see whether the shift weve seen over the last week is more reaction a short term reaction to that news press were whether its something permanent i will say the american pollsters have have learned what went wrong in 2016 and have made adjustments to the polls how they report them in order to try to avoid the mistakes that were made last time around so i would trust the results of this time to a large extent one thing that i found really interesting about this poll is that a show that nearly twice as many registered voters said the economy was the single most important issue in their vote at 29 percent as pick the pandemic at 15 percent because up until now weve kind of been saying that the coronavirus was one of the biggest issues and of course it goes hand in hand with the economy what do you make of all those numbers and could that perhaps a signal that is peoples you know the wallets start to hurt because of the law thousands and the impact of the coronavirus on the economy that that may actually be a plus for donald trump because he is trying to push for more and more opening else thats part of it i think is that americans always are likely to rate the economy is the most important issue but i think the key for understanding whats going on is that the economy is running to overwhelmingly is the most important issue by republicans democrats and independents are more likely to really the virus is more important so its more what the swing voters are rating is the important issue rather than the people who are already going to vote for donald trump. From the very start of course donald trump has been a very divisive figure and theres many people that will vote for biden simply because hes not troubled when you look at joe bidens campaign how much do you think it is about issues or how much is it about dont trust donald trump i am the safer option. Biden is very much maybe the campaign about that character contrast the Democratic National convention earth sample it was all about biden being compassionate being trustworthy his his background his experience and then they downplayed the policy issues now that works for bind in 2 ways one it presents a clear contrast with truong in ways that people like biden but dont like trump and secondly if you talk about issues you have the divisions within the Democratic Party between bottom or between by this establishment moderate wing and Bernie Sanders more progressive wing if you focus on the on bidens personality you dont get there is policy divisions within the Democratic Party ok were going to have to leave it there for now but it will be interesting to see how it develops over the next few weeks of course just 3 weeks to go before d polling day sir professor eric hebron they thank you so much for your time good to be with you. Now Indias Health minister has warned of big trouble if coronavirus measures arent taken seriously and people are being urged not to gather in groups from major religious festivals in the coming weeks and months the country added close to 75000 new cases in the past 24 hours pushing total infections to 7000000 thats the 2nd highest number of covert cases in the world 1000000 of those new cases were registered in the past 13 days alone the number of people who have died from the virus now stands at more than 108000 but economic concerns are still top of the mind for the government and the economy contracted by almost a quarter in the 3 months to june the worst figure on record. We have to go somewhere with to the bus station right away station we have to go out thats how we make areas meet were following musky ticket physical distancing in hand washing or sanitizing them after touching anything. People had a fear of corona virus in march april but its not there anymore some are also stepping out of homes because they have to go to work as they dont have any money and they dont have any option. Well scientists in chile are investigating a possible mutation of the corona virus which could make it more contagious questions emerged after the remote region of lag a on is reported a highly disproportionate number of chinas infections are latin american editor of the sea and human reports. Named after the explorer magellan chiles mother younis region and its capital that in us are known as the gateway to antartica a place so cold you need heating nearly year round scientists at the university of miami is investigating why remote region with only one percent of the population is of a just ring nearly 20 percent of the countrys cases of cold in 19 have discovered a new strand of corona virus has taken over. All that mutation phenomenon happened everywhere in the world at the beginning of the pandemic simultaneously but this time its restricted to new wave and to a particular geographic location this strand once existed in very small quantities elsewhere but for reasons still unclear it is expanded only in. The viruses and here in spro team is different but what that implies is still unclear. What is clear is that unlike the 1st wave in april since august infections in my that yanis have been steadily increasing despite a Strict Lockdown earlier this week the number of people infected have not yet it was the same as here in the capital except that now they got it has the lowest population density in the country 170000 versus 8000000 here in santiago experts say there could be many reasons including the weather but they cant rule out that the new strand of the virus is mainly to blame. The Pan American Health organization is assisting chilean Scientists Say in an effort to know more especially to confirm whether this new version of cold 19 is far more contagious than previous trends. If the hypothesis is validated it would obviously be worrisome because of the degree of the contagion we are seeing in my gut younus were to spread nationwide it would mean 25000. 00 new cases per day and that is a dangerous scenario indeed. And while the Scientific Community attempts to determine the consequences of this mutation air force planes have started many of backing critical patients 3000 kilometers from other yanez to the capital to ensure that hospitals will be able to cope with the unrelenting viral outbreak you see in human aljazeera sent the hour.

Skiing at all to demand president Alexander Lucas shank a resignation people want change and yes of course the weather mightst change things you know further as we approach the winter but at the moment i see still a lot of mobilization and the fact that a lot of opposition figures have been even detained or pushed out of the country hasnt significant impacted the the mobilization on the ground people are still coming out to protest just by the fact that these protests and facsimile leave the us an unexpected meeting held by lucas shango with opposition activists in a prison led to many doubting the strength of his position state media says he discussed constitutional reform with his political rivals.

Several iran backed militia groups in iraq have agreed to stop rocket attacks on u. S. Forces a spokesman for the cathay but Hezbollah Group says the cease fire is conditional upon iraqs government providing a timetable for the withdrawal of american troops the groups have set no deadline but insisted of u. S. Troops stay they will unleash more Violent Attacks that they have hezbollah is nominally incorporated into Iraq Security apparatus but has been accused of acting outside the formal chain of command. From a sob lucy joins me by skype from doha is a critical security professor who specializes in armed groups search thank you so much for joining us here on on jazeera 1st of all the timing i suppose is interesting of this why do you think this is a group of militia groups have made this announcement of a ceasefire now does the fact that we have u. S. Elections literally weeks away have anything to do with it was definitely barbara as you know if you once time were going to have u. S. President ial elections and ever since President Trump took power in the white house he has been increasing pressure on iran and his policy what is called the maximum pressure he withdrew from the Nuclear Agreement you also assess and made it general lay my mate so at this point iran would like to you know decrease the tension in hopes that you know in the white house they will have you know a President Biden that the woods more likely would like to plunk diplomacy in dealing with iran is sort of trump i suppose at this point assuming that the Iraqi Government even wanted to but almost impossible for them to provide a timetable for the withdrawal of american troops for the very reason that they dont know who the next president is going to be split do you think this does to iran iraq relations because iraq has obviously been going through a difficult time protests against corruption covert 19 is it there quite considerably the price of oil plummeting as well what do you think it does to to iraq itself. Well its not going to make lots of difference because you know iraq has a lot of crises and these are structural problems that its facing at times of economy in terms of the political system in terms of social relations between the different factions within within the society however at least as again you know stop the u. S. From close and u. S. Embassy and probably decrease pressure on iraq because President Trump as you might know have also shortened the sanctions waiver on iraq so hopefully at least in the 2 or 3 months iraq would witness someone its a more stable situation than it faced you know the previous years tell us a little bit more about this group the cut Hezbollah Group in iran backed militia groups and chemically part of the infrastructure in iraq but not really just paint us a picture of the role of this group. Well basically if theyre affiliated with iran they most likely go by irans dictates they do not go by the dictates of the iraqi Prime Minister and it has been as store on the back of the rocky states for a very long time and its very difficult to address this problem because the state of iraq is very weak attempts of the security are a pair of paradis that it has so this problem is going to continue whether hezbollah. Or other militias that are affiliated with iraq because theyre basically much more powerful than the Security Apparatus under the control of the governments and of course i mean you know the mere fact that after all these years after the u. S. Attack an invasion that there are still american troops in iraq is an issue in itself what do you think the worries are from the iraqi side what might happen not if but when american troops leave well the problem would definitely be if that is going to be increased iranian influence in iraq and in addition to that we might see also an increase of tension between the sunnis and the shia specialists you have a lot of shia militias you know take it control of sunni areas so there is also a possibility we might see you know a region wouldnt juries are going to sion of another sunni groups like isis. And that would also threaten the state of iraq and the commute different communities within iraq as well most.

Production is restarting at libyas Largest Oil Field day shara has been closed for most of the year because of a blockade imposed by the warlord honey for half that libya used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude a day generating an important stream of income valentine now has more now from tripoli.
