man as a reason again as more bodies are pulled from that after. the pain of losing their children and other relatives is a comparing it with anger they say they've all read the suffered enough in 30 years of the scum flick that. will destroy them we don't want to see for they killed our children born to just been hit by several me saw strikes in the past week but this one was particularly destructive neighbor said there are other civilians under the rubble one all that has been found and taken out from here civil defense 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 don't rally as i ses with her brothers help they barely manage to rescue her children who were about to suffocate under to

rubble her mother and me away i was the last one to get out severely injured almost . now going to kind of i was also suffering its main cities stuff thank you that was again under heavy fire overnight but authorities say it's 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 rb john hasn't disclosed how many of his troops have been killed and the very very. government the president you're absolutely correct supported the cease fire this is a very important question very minimal. you know to do the humanitarian function there are many serious humanitarian missions to the resort immediately 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 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 crossed and ready to. support the sides. against humanity there are no obligation 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 caught up i 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 although al-jazeera can just reach out. a notorious police units been disbanded in nigeria after days of nationwide protests demanding an end to police brutality the special and he robbery squad is accused of torture murder and unlawful arrests this is the full time the unit is being dismantled reports from a vigil. 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 2 robbery squad of sas. the police chief said dissolving the unit whose members have father turnage the image of the police was necessary for a force that is in serious need of changes this mission to rogue rescored of the nigerian police and the words known as science. by dissolved or formations

did that is just it will use command and the territory where there currently is used and i mean this court 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 to do show you know corruption is through very you know high legislative corruption is going on and is the active 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 out in our activities with impunity.

on the streets many say they have heard it all before. is that it was time to end this government have been banned not banned it is sound i didn't come up again. 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. say is the director of amnesty international nigeria she says the skepticism about the decision to dissolve the school. i think it's a step in the right direction in terms of stopping the excessive use of the sas the

bitrate crime scene name geria 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 overhaul of the practices of the police in the interior they need to respect international and you understand this and they need to ensure that they are 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 in puny to try to 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 address it is that may come into it so who actually have loved them to say this is what we're going to do investigate and before every deploy any officers

to make sure that is specific and we mean what the complaints it gives that are set aside and actually prosecuted. starting in nigeria and at least 6 people have died after a building collapsed in lagos construction workers were adding a 2nd floor to the unfinished building when the incident happened there off as a number of people may be trapped under the rubble. unless internationals accusing the tanzanian government of political oppression ahead of this man's general election the human rights organization said the law is being weaponized to crackdown on opposition figures and journalists out 0 spoke with the main opposition candidate about his face for the vote. 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 fish will save his conduct while on the campaign trail had

been polarized. recently returned to tanzania from belgium to run for president he laughed 3 years ago when he was seriously injured after being repeatedly short by an identified gunman 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 elections we accept every election we call millions of people on the streets. democratic action piece action to defend the integrity of the election the fan. if it comes with. his main competitor president john paul 2 fully he's also outcome painting attracting thousands of people to his rallies. 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. i could honestly say he's on the right truck he's done very well in they cannot make front. the projects that we are talking about he's done very well in. the issues of governance especially fighting corruption in all fronts leanest wall but is one of 29000000 tons of registered to vote on the 28th of october he too has been watching political developments and he's worried about the possibility of violence at the polls. i want to you know who's 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 tension us the more the election draws closer the more aggressive the complaints have become voters like will say we just hope to be able

to cast their ballots safely catherine solely al-jazeera and we should say we contacted the tanzania in government about these allegations but we received no response. dean of the college of humanities education and social sciences at delaware state university he says things have changed since the president 1st came to power. he came in my go fully that is highly recommended in the blaze of untied corruption newness he was known all 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 if he has decided that perhaps he wants to maintain his position and one way to do it is make sure that he will do what he wants and thereby maintain his position and that's why he's

taken a whole lot of steps that have been in the right of wives have been talking about banning of liberations. closing down newspapers arresting opposition leaders those are not democratic inspired movements and therefore all this attention that he's getting. but we're hoping that i have. the court made clear that the closer we get to the election hopefully the there will be people people to cast their ballots. still had on al-jazeera. declaring that he's free of coronavirus u.s. president donald trump prepares to hit the campaign trail. and hoping for a fairy run we speak to people in care just on amid the recent political unrest.

how there's not much evidence action in the sky above the middle east but that's no big surprise however it is cooling down because the wind directions allows seeing the sunshine because the monsoon drafts going away the horrific stuff the tension the heart $34.00 dropping to about $32.00 is below average this time of the year and we're slightly above average in baghdad these are not extremes it's just the slowly changing season the rain is further science now stretching from stu south sudan than towards d r c typically is the went but this rain throughout the rift valley but concentrating just to the west out of so there is still rain in tanzania the rains of the for washing quite substantially in the southern part of towns and here but anywhere really from juba south which you'd expect to find those showers often in bands and often the bands stretch science beyond the rift valley so you get a better rain this time of the year in zimbabwe and zambia and it's there it's been

the forecast it's going to happen the next day or so they tend to form a couple days and disappear and that's certainly case most of south africa's looking dry in the sun comes out in johannesburg it's there in cape town suddenly breeze yes suffered about 90 degrees not cold could be better. but. cut through the noise if you're back up when millions of you into the wee hours and listening journalist act is going to find a way to tell that story why. the problem is that they're just really talking a lot of people of power who are making. friends from. political effect with. words arrested on sunday. by the listening post monitors and in tougher it's the media on al-jazeera.

to watching out is there a reminder of our top stories this 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 i'm not going to count about. a notorious police unit in nigeria is being discredited for the full time after days of nationwide protests the special and hero brew squad is accused of torture and florists. the tanzanian government is being accused of political oppression ahead of this month's general election i'm just international says the law is being weaponized to crackdown on opposition figures and journalists.

u.s. president donald trump says he's free of coronavirus and is likely to mean but questions remain about his health a week after he tested positive. this declaration comes as he gets ready to resume campaigning on monday the white house doctor says he no longer poses a risk of transmitting the virus but he stopped short of saying if trump had tested negative gabriella's on the has more 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 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 you noon 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 proven 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

and that he's fine he's essentially telling the american people just trust me everything is ok that is that she is a professor of epidemiology at the city university of new york school of public health he says trump is lacking empathy in his statements on the coronavirus. the president is far from an expert on covert 19 and he's routinely chosen to deviate from the opinions of actual experts in his behavior and his public statements and that usually amount to misinformation so i think the general public in the media should really do well not place too much credence into statements about its future or current risk of spreading corona virus or whether he's immune to coping 1000 in the future but i mean let's just start with the question of whether or not he's infectious or not at this time in the expert guidance it's pretty clear that someone with copd 19 can be infectious for 10 days after the date of symptom onset which help clean out is different from the date of diagnosis and in addition to that they have to be fever free for more than 24 hours without fever you see

medication and symptoms have to be unproven and the white house position hasn't provided information on all of these criteria yet and this is why it's unclear in my view has to be infectious status of president trump at the moment and with regard to immunity to coronavirus c.t. likely doesn't have immunity now for at least 2 reasons 1st the antibodies he has now are those that were infuse as part of an experimental treatment not those generated by his immune system so any protective effect of these antibodies if they are effective is temporary and 2nd we don't really know with certainty yet that infection with grown a virus confers short or long term immunity in fact you know there's been a handful of well documented cases of reinfection within $30.90 days of having what was 19 so i think it would be a mistake for him or anyone to assume that they're new to corona virus after infection. we're just 3 weeks to go to the presidential election the latest poll by

the washington post and a.b.c. news suggest the coronavirus pandemic is hurting donald trump. who they trust more to handle the pandemic 55 percent of voters backed democratic candidate joe biden 17 points ahead of trump nationally biden has a 12 point lead over trump in the race for the white house among both registered and likely voters and it's women who are giving him the advantage biden is $23.00 points ahead among female voters that's the widest margin among women for any presidential candidate in polling dating back to 976. courtesans opposition is blaming russia for what they describe as last week's rigged election and the violence that followed on saturday the parliament named a new prime minister ending a power vacuum. that has more from the sky. only jonell fronts a small bakery on the outskirts of the curate's captioned be skank. he says he's

opposition groups. but the new prime minister supporters who had the day before charged to peaceful demonstration and vowed to support him with their lives ignored the 9 pm curfew and celebrated with fireworks into the night. already opposition and some pro-government parties and political analysts say the events of the last few days represent a significant step backwards along the path towards democracy for this country. they say power for criminal networks some that may even stretch as far as moscow may have been involved in the election rigging the post-election violence and will be happy with the result. and his supporters vehemently reject the allegation that he is involved with criminals you said he wants to arrest this man powerful clan leader one time deputy head of customs running back my train more in

happened everywhere in the world at the beginning of the pandemic simultaneously but this time it's restricted to a 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 inch protein is different but what that implies is still unclear what is clear is that unlike the 1st wave in april since august infections and magnanimous have been steadily increasing despite a strict lockdown earlier this week the number of people infected 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 can't rule

out that the new strand of the virus is mainly to blame. the pan american health organization is assisting chilean scientists in an effort to know more especially to confirm whether this new version of cold 19 is far more contagious than previous . if the hypothesis is validated it would obviously be worrisome because of the degree of the contagion we are seeing in my guy 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 janish to the capital to ensure that hospitals will be able to cope with the unrelenting viral outbreak you see in human al-jazeera. water levels an important river in power go i have dropped to the
