there are many serious humanitarian missions to the resort in need here the cease fire was a 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 prisoners swap scheduled for saturday never happened were actually in regular discussions the size of the nature of our involvement however for now the date on the operation to begin is in the hands of the size and the our international committee of the right process ready to. support the sides. against humanity there are no allegations to release 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 got up by ended in 1994 the region blocks are surveyed john but it's

controlled by ethnic armenian forces backed by arminius government during fighting in the past many lost trust in cease fires the latest hasn't got off to a hopeful start because sort of elders who are just. a notorious police you. it has been disbanded in nigeria after days of night nationwide protests demanding an end to police brutality the special and he robbery squad is accused of torture and unlawful arrest this is a 4th time the unit's been dismantled and it is just reports from abuja. after 5 days of demonstrations that in some cases turned violent protesters are still using that victory. 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 of sars. the police chief said dissolving the unit whose members are father turnage the image of the police was necessary for

a force that is in serious need of changes disposition to rogueries court of the nigerian police and there was no nonsense. by dissolved or formations did that is just it will use command and the territory where there currently is used so no 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 by their victory activists now want to push for more accountability from judges and politicians did he show you know corruption is through very you know high legislative corruption is going on and is the act of corruption is going on so definitely all the institutions or the public institution need serious reform in order to respond to the aspiration of nigerians you cannot

have an organization that is supposed to be run by a law and order and it is completely drained you know cut it out it activities with impunity. on the streets many say they have heard it all before. is that the 1st time to the government have been banned not banned it is taught them so i didn't come up again so for me it's not simple and the fact that nigerians can actually got there and and so will cause actually and to do things that people who 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 how many greece al-jazeera of which are. is the director of amnesty international nigeria she says the skepticism about the decision to disclose the squalid. i think

it's a step in the right direction in terms of stopping the excessive use of the sas the bitrate crime scene then tyria well we want something that will be long lasting so disbanding this unit and creating another unit better than me that will continue to commit atrocities will still not be acceptable we want to complete all of our whole of the practices of the police in the interior they need to respect international and to understand this and the need to ensure that out operating within the law right now what we have east rule office says that no one can do anything to them and which has allowed to train who want them to actually bring those office says that the man accused they have this information orating they have been complaints we've also issued reports of several minutes oreo's sections in the states where

atrocities that the economy did so who actually loved them to say this is what we're going to do investigate and before every deploy any officers to make sure doesn't have a specific and the need or the complaints it gives that if set aside and actually prosecuted and the center national is accusing the tanzanian government of political oppression ahead of this man's general election the human rights organization says the law is being weaponized to crackdown on opposition figures and journalists out 0 spoke with the main opposition candidates about his fares for the vote. it was to lisa says he's worried about his safety while campaigning he's also concerned about the independence of the electoral commission that barred him from campaigning for 7 days last week electoral fishel save his conduct while on the campaign trail had been polarized lisa recently returned to tanzania from belgium to run for president he left 3 years ago when he was

seriously injured after being repeatedly short by an identified gunmen he's told al jazeera he does not believe that the election at the end of the month will be free fair or transparent we are not going to accept stolen election. we have received elections. millions of people on to the streets. democratic action. action. the integrity of the election defend their votes if it comes to. his main competitor president john fully he's also outcome painting attracting thousands of people to these rallies that he's been accused by human rights organizations and the opposition of being a dictator and presiding over a government that is intolerant of dissent and has cattails rights of expression and the media the president has avoided that debate instead focusing on his record

on elisei he's on the right truck has done very well in they can only front. the projects that we are talking about has done very well in. the issues of governance especially fighting corruption in all fronts leanest wall but is one of 29000000 tons and hence registered to vote on the 28th of october he too has been watching political developments and is worried about the possibility of violence at the polls. i want a leader who is not just promising things he has to deliver i like to see a more transparent election previously the results have been taking too long to come out and that increases us the more the election draws closer the more aggressive the campaigns have become voters like will say we just hope to be able to cast their ballots safely catherine soy al-jazeera. and we should say we have

contacted the town's name government about these allegations but we received no response. that's brian at c.s.a. associate dean of the college of humanities education and social sciences at delaware state university welcome to you say i want to begin it's not just in the african continent this happens in a lot of places a man or woman starts out as the hero of the people and then eventually they become the oppressors of the very people they champion in the 1st place right yes i think it's a bit more complicated and bad but it's that has followed the line of thinking. he came in my go fully that is highly recommend in the maze of i'm tired corruption newness he was known all 'd around the country as a simple from the peasants and so he came in with

a lot of promise in the last few years however it appears as though he has decided . he wants to maintain his position and one way to do it is make sure that he would do what he wants and. maintain his position and that's where he's taken a whole lot of human rights wives has been talking about banning organizations. closing down newspapers arresting opposition leaders those. democratic inspired movements and therefore all this attention but he's good. but we're hoping that. the court made clear that the closer we get to the election hopefully there will be for people to cast their ballots. is this unique to tanzania or is that a set of circumstances powerful institutions perhaps like the army perhaps like the

judiciary the actually allow these things to happen because they in their interest or is this a very unique thing. it's both both answers yes and yes in the sense that if you look across the continent we have several countries where elections are doing very there are about 3 of 4 areas gonna in december. ethiopia was supposed 'd to go in october times and then in october. i believe we have the central african republic and november so there are a lot of elections going on and you can see evidence of what's going on in tanzania and some of these places we know would have been in mali as we know military said it's taking matters 'd into their own hands one hopes one hopes that the military would be as a venture in time than in the good news is we haven't heard anything 'd about them

so far 'd and the hope is that there 'd will be that calming force. because he's not just in tanzania that this happens as you say across not just the african continent but in other parts of the world as well is there any interest in the international community to tackle things like this or is it look they're not making that much trouble let's just leave them let's just leave them to do what they need to do less not get involved i think it is of international importance but i'm a hazard a guess to say that what is happening in my own neck of the woods and the united states has had a lot more people paying not as much attention to all the elections that i have been on the continent but it is important to say bad what happens on the african continent matters 'd a lot in matters to chime and what happens in the united states matters to china and in those 2 example of what happens on the continent is going to play

a part in what happens in the world state acosta thank you very much. thank you. still ahead on out his era. declaring that he is free of coronavirus us present donald trump prepares the hit the campaign trail. protests in batteries turned violent as police and demonstrators clashed in the capital. well i was hard to identify how to conduct tonight but when it made landfall in the lower go this was the effect on camera now this is the 2nd in 6 weeks so this damage has just added to if you like it's the 2nd tranche and the rain that spread

from doubts which is going now is reached in the eastern seaboard on monday being followed by an equally active frontal trough going through the upper midwest now between the 2 of them we had a chance to set in the new season so the pictures of fall in new england and counters on terra obvious for but of course the incoming wind and rain could make that michael the leaves fall disappointing really generally speaking it's fine following the hurricane weather all the way through the states to get to washington wyoming and idaho where rain is spreading it was quite active on the the state coast in washington but it's still early improving as is the case in the caribbean to be honest we've seen the active weather recently is there scattered showers it's mexico getting the focus a shower rain over the next day or so monday and indeed tuesday dubi showers alf's where there are showers to further south particularly in brazil where we're pleased to see them especially in the punter now.

reminder of our top stories this hour. a ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan is under threat with both sides accusing the other of heavy shelling in civilian areas at least 8 people have been killed in the latest fighting over the disputed region of nicola cut about. a notorious police units in nigeria is being disbanded for the 1st full time after days of nationwide protests and special anti robbery squad is accused of torture and arrests. tanzania's government is being accused of weaponized in the law to crackdown on freedom of expression and peaceful assembly ahead of this election. the government to reverse the decline in political and media freedoms. us president donald trump says he's free of corona virus and he's likely immune but questions remain about his health a week after he tested positive. tom's declaration comes as he gets ready to resume

campaigning on monday the white house doctor says it no longer poses a risk of transmitting the virus but he stopped short of saying if champ a trump had tested negative. from washington d.c. there's a whole host of problems here but it's left the whole thing is left a lot of uncertainty quite frankly primarily because it's now been nearly 24 hours since we last received an update from president donald trump's a doctor and even the last update to the late saturday night was very vague and left a lot of questions rather than answers for example has donald trump tested negative or not and those are simply questions we do not have answers to so given the vague information or lack of information from the doctors and giving no more information on on sunday it's left donald trump to tweet he's basically saying that he is fine that he can no longer get the virus he's claiming he's in you and that he can no

longer give the virus to anyone as well now that's a very problematic or suspect statement and even twitter had to mark that tweet by the president of the united states is a tweet that in twitter's words is misleading and could lead to a negative consequences when it comes to corona virus so essentially there's still still quite a few questions that remain to be answered but so far it's been nearly 24 hours since we've gotten any other update from the president's doctors and so it's left a lot of people to just assume that if he has not come out and group and that he's tested negative that he must still be positive for a president that certainly wants to give the impression at least that he's doing ok that he's fine he's essentially telling the american people just trust me everything is ok. anti government demonstrators in by the roots are keeping the pressure on president alexander lukashenko to step down they protested in the

capital for 10 consecutive sunday despite a crackdown by police alexandra byers reports. clearing from tear gas and stun grenades similar scenes of chaos and panic across the capital scores of people detained in the most violent police crackdown seen in weeks several 1000 protesters dodge police who used water cannon and stun grenades tackled and beaten with batons by masked officers others seen injured and dazed on the ground. more than 13000 people have been detained in weeks of protests they say the presidential election in early august was rigged they're risking it all to demand president alexander lukashenko resignation people want change and yes of course the weather might strange 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 either detained or pushed out of the country hasn't significantly impacted the their mobilization on the ground people are still coming out to protest just by the fact that these protests i think to believe the less. an unexpected meeting held by lucas and go 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. you know half of you here are lawyers and perfectly understand that the constitution can't be written in the streets and i'm trying to convince both your supporters and society at large that we must have a broader view towards these problems. but beyond those prison walls the deadlock continues with military vehicles and armed police still dominating the streets and protesters vowing to continue until they see real democratic change alexandra
