At the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a detailed address outlining his country's foreign policy priorities and calling on the international community to work together for peace and sustainable development. He addressed the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and called on Israel to immediately cease military action.

Conflicts and Mediation

The President emphasized that Turkey consistently advocates ending wars and seeking diplomatic solutions. He recalled Ankara's role in establishing direct contacts between Russia and Ukraine, including on prisoner exchanges, as well as its mediation efforts to normalize relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Erdoğan specifically noted the "welcome steps" taken in recent months, which, with US mediation, have brought these countries closer to a lasting peace, and expressed hope for the successful completion of the normalization process between Turkey and Armenia.

Regional security

The head of state stated that Turkey continues to consistently advocate for peace and stability in Syria, supporting the vision of a unified country free of terrorism. He expressed confidence that Syria's future will be built on the foundation of justice and cooperation with neighboring states. Touching on Iran's nuclear program, the president emphasized the importance of a diplomatic solution to avoid new crises in the region.

Erdoğan also called for recognition of the rights of Turkish Cypriots and stated that projects in the Eastern Mediterranean that exclude Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus "will not succeed." He reiterated his call for the international community to recognize Northern Cyprus and establish relations with it.

Global Challenges and Partnerships

The Turkish President emphasized his country's active participation in UN, NATO, OSCE, and EU operations. He placed particular emphasis on developing cooperation in Central Asia, the Balkans, South Asia, and Africa. Erdoğan noted the importance of efforts to resolve the crises in Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Touching on the economic agenda, he advocated for the reform of international trade and a fair global financial architecture based on the principle of “leaving no one behind.”

"We attach great importance to the peace, stability, and prosperity of our fraternal countries in Central Asia," the Turkish leader continued. "This is the homeland of our ancestors. The Organization of Turkic States is moving forward. We will go beyond being simply a regional player."

Climate and technology

The President recalled Turkey's national goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2053, as well as the Zero Waste movement (referring to food waste – editor's note), which is gaining popularity worldwide under the patronage of First Lady Emine Erdogan.

In closing, he stressed that the transformative power of artificial intelligence should be available to all countries and “serve the interests of all humanity.”

President Trump: The era of stability has given way to large-scale crises

September 23, 2025 UN

Speaking during the UN General Assembly's general debate, US President Donald Trump declared that the United Nations is failing to fulfill its potential. He noted that in the six years since his last address to the General Assembly, "an era of calm and stability has given way to the massive crises of our time."

Trump criticized the UN, saying it had failed to try to end several wars he said he had worked to end.

Trump claimed to have "ended seven wars," including those between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, and India and Pakistan. He accused the UN of failing to help him.

Ukraine: India and China are funding the war

Speaking about Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump accused India and China of financing the war by buying oil from Russia.

Trump also criticized European countries for buying Russian oil while trying to increase pressure on Russia.

The President said he plans to discuss the issue with European leaders today.

Trump said he thought stopping the war would be easier. The US president noted that he had always had a "good relationship" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Gaza: Recognition of Palestine is a 'reward for Hamas'

Trump said that the decision by some countries to recognize a Palestinian state would be a reward for Hamas. He accused Hamas of refusing to release hostages and accept "reasonable peace proposals."

"We cannot forget October 7," he said, calling for the release of all hostages.

Migration: European countries are being destroyed by 'political correctness'

Trump devoted a significant portion of his speech to migration. He said the US government had taken decisive measures to control illegal immigration. These included mass detentions and deportations of those who crossed the US border illegally.

"They just stopped coming here. They don't come here anymore," the US president said.

According to him, these measures also helped save the lives of the migrants themselves, as they died on the way to the United States.

Trump also accused the UN of "financing" illegal immigration and claimed that European countries are being destroyed by an "invasion" of illegal immigrants. He blamed Europe's failure to limit migration on "political correctness."

Climate: 'UN forecasts were wrong'

In his speech, Trump called the fight against climate change a "scam" and criticized countries' efforts to reduce their carbon footprints. He said renewable energy is expensive and inefficient. He praised the use of coal, oil, and gas.

Trump also said that predictions from the UN and other climate change groups had been "wrong."

The introduction of tariffs is a “protective mechanism”

The US president said his administration's imposition of tariffs on many countries is a way to protect the US economy, which has been damaged by the actions of other countries that he says ignore international trade rules.

"We used tariffs as a defense mechanism," he said. He also claimed that the economies of countries that complied with the rules were destroyed.

"The UN needs repair": Annalena Baerbock called for reform of the global organization

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

September 23, 2025 UN

During the UN General Assembly's general debate, Annalena Baerbock, President of its 80th session, addressed the session. She emphasized that the current meeting is taking place amid numerous crises—from wars and humanitarian disasters to climate change and technological challenges—and that only by working together can the international community overcome them.

Baerbock recalled the tragedies millions of people experience daily: from elderly Ukrainian women forced to take shelter from drones, to Haitian children afraid to go to school, and women in the Democratic Republic of Congo hiding their daughters from armed groups.

"What we definitely cannot do is allow cynics to exploit these crises to declare the UN obsolete or irrelevant. The Charter is only as strong and powerful as its member states' willingness to abide by it," she said.

Lessons from the past and hope for the future

Baerbock drew parallels with the founding of the UN after World War II, when the world lay in ruins. The signing of the Charter became a "guiding light" for entire generations, she emphasized. "The history of the Organization is not a history of easy victories, but a history of persistent efforts, undertaken again and again," the President of the General Assembly noted.

She urged states to remember that true leadership is not about imposing will, but about the ability to inspire and help others. "Helping others ultimately makes one's own country stronger," Baerbock said, recalling the WHO's role in the fight against the pandemic. Covid-19 and the importance of joint action in the face of the climate crisis.

Reform and election of the next UN chief

According to the President of the General Assembly, the Organization is currently at a crossroads. "Even the very heart of dialogue and diplomacy needs repair. Therefore, the UN80 initiative and the overall reform process are not a luxury, but a necessity," she emphasized. This means strengthening the flexibility and effectiveness of the system, as well as accelerating progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Baerbock also addressed the issue of gender equality in UN leadership. In its 80 years of existence, the Organization has never elected a woman to the post of Secretary-General. "One might wonder how it is that out of four billion potential candidates, not a single suitable one has emerged?" she said, emphasizing the need for change.

A call for joint action

In closing, Baerbock reminded everyone that the future of the UN depends on the ability of states to act together: "Can we demonstrate to people around the world that the United Nations still exists today and will exist tomorrow and for the next eight decades? Because ultimately, it is a vital necessity for all countries."

UN Secretary-General: "In a world of many decisions, there is one we must not make: the decision to give up."

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

September 23, 2025 UN

Speaking in the General Assembly Hall, the UN Secretary-General called on world leaders to make decisive choices in favor of peace, human rights, climate justice, and strengthened multilateralism. António Guterres recalled that the United Nations, now eighty years old, was born "not as a dream of perfection, but as a strategy for human survival."

The Secretary-General described the modern era as "an age of reckless upheaval and endless suffering," where "the pillars of peace and progress are crumbling under the weight of impunity, inequality, and indifference." He noted that humanity once again faces a choice—whether it will be "a world of force or a world of law," "a world where the right of might is law, or a world that is just for all."

"Impunity is the mother of chaos"

In his speech, Guterres outlined five areas he called "critical" for the modern era. First and foremost, he said, is the need to build a world based on international law.

"Impunity is the mother of chaos," the Secretary-General said, pointing to the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, Ukraine, and Gaza. He asserted that the only viable path to peace in the Middle East is a two-state solution.

"A permanent ceasefire is needed now," the UN chief emphasized. "The release of all hostages is immediate. Full humanitarian access is needed now."

“The past year has brought glimmers of hope, including the ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand and the US-brokered agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” the Secretary-General said.

"Human rights are not an adornment to the world, but its foundation."

The second general direction of activity Antonio Guterres called the protection of dignity and human rights.

"Human rights are not the world's ornament, but its foundation," he said, calling for the protection of journalists, human rights defenders, refugees, and migrants. The Secretary-General added that development finance is the "fuel" without which the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be achieved.

"Hydrocarbon fuels are a losing bet"

The third focus, according to Guterres, must be climate justice. "Hydrocarbon fuels are a losing bet," he noted, recalling that almost all new energy capacity last year was generated from renewable sources. The Secretary-General warned that investment in the transition to green energy remains too uneven, and that "the window for keeping warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is closing."

Machines should not decide who lives and who dies.

Speaking about new technologies, the Secretary-General emphasized the need to put them to the service of humanity. "Machines should not decide who lives and who dies," he stated, emphasizing the importance of creating and maintaining international mechanisms to regulate artificial intelligence, including the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.

Speaking about strengthening the UN, Guterres emphasized that the Organization needs reform and the support of Member States. "For every dollar invested in peacebuilding, states spend $750 on weapons," he recalled. "This is not only short-sighted but also unjustified."

"Real power comes from people."

In concluding his speech, the Secretary-General drew on his personal experience of living under a dictatorship (referring to the Salazar regime in Portugal – editor’s note): “I grew up in a world where there were almost no elections… I understood that real strength comes from people – from our shared determination to defend dignity.”

"In a world of many decisions, there is one we must never make: the decision to give up," said António Guterres. "We must never give up. That is my promise to you."

Time Travel: "Not a Geography Lesson" at the Imperial Farm

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Save Nature Foundation

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 20th, the Imperial Farm, a vibrant educational event, "NOT a Geography Lesson at the Imperial Farm. In Search of Fantastic Animals," was held at the Tsarskoye Selo State Museum-Reserve. Organized by the Russian Geographical Society, the "Revival of Nature" Charitable Foundation was a traditional partner. This event was a true celebration of learning and discovery.

Fifty participants, including children and adults, gathered for a captivating journey back in time. They witnessed the splendor of the imperial court, soaked in the atmosphere of the past, and experienced the richness of Russia's natural heritage.

The organizers made sure the event was engaging and accessible to all participants. It began with a demonstration video of the "NOT a Geography Lesson" project, which explained the essence of the educational process and inspired the students to explore further.

The next step was a welcoming speech by Yana Yuryevna Fedosova, Director of the Youth Affairs Department of the Russian Geographical Society. She emphasized the importance of fostering environmental responsibility among the younger generation of Russians.

The official part of the presentation was continued by a representative of the "Revival of Nature" Charitable Foundation. Nadezhda Tsukanova, the Foundation's copywriter and social media manager, shared information about current initiatives aimed at environmental education, the conservation of natural resources, and rare species. The children then watched videos produced by the "Revival of Nature" Charitable Foundation.

The young explorers then met the farm's staff. Lyudmila Kashtanova, coordinator of the Tsarskoye Selo Museum-Reserve, shared fascinating facts about the development of agriculture and botany in the 19th century. Olga Filippova, the reserve's chief park curator, told the participants about unique plants brought from around the world and how horticulture developed in Russia and around the world in the 19th century. She also described which exotic plants were most commonly found in the gardens of the Imperial Residence, and which plants, so common today, were imported and acclimatized in Russia. The participants also met with scientists who made significant contributions to the development of horticulture in the 19th century.

After the theoretical part, the participants moved directly to the Imperial Farm grounds, where the real fun began. The tour followed a route that included ancient structures dating back to the 19th century.

The first stop on the route was a working stable, located in a former cowshed. Here, the children had their first encounter with the world of true professionals—the farm workers. They were given a detailed account of the Orlov Trotters, favored by Russian Emperors Alexander I and Nicholas II, and were introduced to modern methods of caring for these noble animals.

The children not only listened to the guides' stories but also got to participate in the process themselves: they brushed the mane of the charming pony Karamelka and learned about the behavior and nutrition of horses. Many felt a special connection with nature, as interacting with animals helps them better understand the environment and the responsibility each person has for its preservation.

The tour continued, covering various areas of the farm. The next stop was the former dairy pavilion and calf barn, where restorers preserved the original feeding troughs and even sections of the floor. Participants then visited the former goat, sheep, and poultry houses.

The most touching moment of the tour was a walk through the old Pensioners' Stables, built specifically for the eight elderly horses of Alexander I, who served the Russian Emperor faithfully.

The final stop of the program was a visit to the 19th-century cemetery located next to the Pesionary Stables. This memorial has remained virtually unchanged since the reigns of Alexander I and Nicholas II. It is here that 120 horses of the imperial family, some of which are famous for their role in historical events in Russia, find their final resting place.

All the children were deeply engaged in the excursion, asking many questions and actively participating at every stop. Despite the weather, the exploration was fun and engaging, leaving a lasting impression on the young nature and history lovers.

The final event of the festival was the awards ceremony. Each participant received commemorative souvenirs bearing the logo of the Russian Geographical Society and the "Revival of Nature" Charitable Foundation, cementing their sense of involvement in the great cause of environmental conservation.

And although the weather was changeable, the mood remained excellent.

Thanks to a joint initiative by the Russian Geographical Society and the Revival of Nature Charitable Foundation, children were given the opportunity to connect with history, feel the spirit of imperial traditions, and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of caring for nature.

WHO: A number of studies have found no link between autism and paracetamol use during pregnancy.

September 23, 2025 Healthcare

Although some studies have shown a possible link between acetaminophen (paracetamol) use during pregnancy and autism, the available data is conflicting. Several studies have found no such link, World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic stated at a press briefing in Geneva today.

"If the link between acetaminophen and autism were strong, it would likely be observed consistently across multiple studies. The lack of reproducibility requires us to exercise caution when drawing causal conclusions about the role of acetaminophen in autism," he said.

Reproducibility in medical research means that scientists using the same method as in the original study can obtain the same results.

As a reminder, the day before, US President Donald Trump stated at a press conference at the White House that the active ingredient in Tylenol, acetaminophen, significantly increases the risk of autism in children if a woman takes it during pregnancy.

Trump presented data from the US Department of Health and Human Services and related agencies regarding the rise in autism cases in the country. The president noted that the department is preparing new regulatory measures on this issue. Trump also reiterated the link between autism and vaccination.

"It is important for women to continue to follow the advice of their doctors or healthcare professionals, who can help assess their individual circumstances and prescribe the necessary medications," Jasarevic emphasized, adding that medications should be used with caution during pregnancy, especially in the first three months.

Support for people with autism

There are nearly 62 million people worldwide with autism spectrum disorders. These disorders will be discussed on September 25 at a high-level meeting on noncommunicable diseases and mental health, which will be held as part of the UN General Assembly's Week of General Policy Debate.

“We, as a global community, need to do more to understand the causes of autism and the best ways to care for and support people with autism and their families,” Jasarevic said.

Vaccination schedule

The WHO childhood vaccination schedule has been adopted by all countries and has saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years, Jasarevic recalled.

"It remains crucial for the health and well-being of every child and every community. This calendar is constantly being updated in line with scientific advances and protects children, adolescents, and adults from 30 infectious diseases," he said.

All WHO vaccination recommendations are based on a thorough analysis of evidence, he stressed.

The first tram line in Russia without an overhead contact network has opened on Academician Sakharov Avenue.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

A new tram line, route #90, has been launched from Sokolniki to Paveletsky Station, connecting 20 stations on the rail network—four central railway stations and sixteen metro and MCD stations. The new route is served by approximately 20 modern "Lvenok-Moskva" trams with autonomous propulsion, which operate for 2 km along Akademika Sakharova Prospekt without connecting to the overhead wire, using stored energy.

The new line significantly improved transportation on Akademika Sakharova Avenue and Masha Poryvayeva Street, which were previously unserved by public transport. Approximately 300,000 Muscovites now have more convenient and faster travel options; for example, the tram now offers a faster ride from Three Stations Square to Paveletsky Station than the metro.

Since its launch on September 10, 2025, autonomous trams have completed over 1,300 trips, demonstrating the high reliability and demand for the new route. This is the first step toward the creation of the Moscow Tram Diameters and the completion of the tram fleet renewal by the end of 2026.

"The new route 90, launched by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, has proven its popularity. Travel within the city center has become more convenient and faster for residents and visitors. We are closely monitoring the operation of the trams on this route," added Maxim Liksutov.

Today we are happy to share some great news! The newspaper "Russian North" dedicated an entire article to it (HTTPS: //VVV.K.87.ru/ Yuka-i-Turism/165/20154) the work of a group of researchers from the Beringia National Park, conducting important cetacean research in the Senyavin Strait. Support from the Revival of Nature Charitable Foundation enabled the team of scientists to conduct successful observations thanks to specialized equipment provided by our Foundation: a motorboat, cameras with long lenses, quadcopters, and waterproof cases.

The article's main focus is Olga Titova, a senior researcher at Beringia National Park. She provided readers with a detailed account of the importance of regularly measuring the size and health of cetaceans living in the Senyavin Strait. Using modern technology, Olga and her colleagues continue to study the health of large marine creatures using non-invasive methods, such as drone imaging, while avoiding disturbance to the animals.

"The remote whale measurement method used at Beringia is based on the experience of our international colleagues. For example, in Hawaii, scientists have long since learned to determine not only the width and length of whales from drone photographs, but also their volume and blubber thickness. We're currently trying to do the same in the Senyavin Strait," the specialist says.

Thanks to financial support from the Revival of Nature Charitable Foundation, scientists were able to equip themselves with modern tools, such as:

Camera with built-in GPS module Special long-focus lens Marine radios Waterproof cases Satellite communications

This approach ensures accurate measurement of whales' sizes and assessment of their physical condition without causing stress to the animals themselves.

Cetacean research plays a key role in preserving Arctic marine ecosystems. The data obtained led to the publication of an international cetacean catalog, which allows scientists to identify each individual by their individual characteristics, helping to track the animals' movements and physical condition.

We are pleased to have the opportunity to support such an important cause and sincerely thank the team of researchers from Beringia National Park for their professionalism and dedication.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 19, the St. Petersburg branch of the Museum-Reserve "Museum of the World Ocean" hosted a unique environmental education event, "NOT a Geography Lesson. Conquering the Arctic." The event was organized by the Russian Geographical Society. The "Revival of Nature" Charitable Foundation, as per tradition, partnered with the event.

The event brought together 30 young participants from among the activists of the youth movement of the Russian Geographical Society of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. It opened with an emotional video recounting the history of the creation and development of the Russian Geographical Society over the past 180 years. This screening allowed the young people to appreciate the significance of the work the organization has been carrying out for many years.

Yana Yuryevna Fedosova, Director of the Russian Geographical Society's Department of Youth Affairs, addressed the students with an inspiring speech, emphasizing the importance of preserving our planet's natural heritage and the significance of scientific research in the Arctic.

Nadezhda Tsukanova, copywriter and social media manager for the press service of the Revival of Nature Charitable Foundation, spoke about completed projects aimed at preserving Arctic fauna. The participants learned about the foundation's long-standing collaboration with Beringia National Park, where the Revival of Nature Charitable Foundation has provided modern equipment for monitoring the health of marine mammals, including a motorboat, drones, and professional cameras with long lenses. This allows scientists to obtain unique photographs, allowing them to study the health of individual whales in detail. This work resulted in the publication of an international whale catalog.

"Photographs allow us to see individual characteristics of animals, such as the coloration of the upper parts of the pectoral fins, which helps scientists accurately track populations and monitor each animal individually," emphasized Nadezhda Tsukanova.

Participants were also shown a fascinating cartoon about gray whales, created in collaboration with the Curaprox brand as part of the special environmental project "Life Script."

Next came the "NOT geography lesson," led by Nikolai Borisovich Yushkevich, an experienced sailor and captain of the legendary icebreaker Krasin. His lively and engaging account of the Arctic's nature, climate, and wildlife immersed the audience in the expedition atmosphere. Particularly impressive were the captain's personal accounts of encounters with Arctic wildlife, such as polar bears, walruses, and even the rare Arctic wolf. Such experiences gave the children an understanding of the importance of caring for the environment and the value of teamwork in challenging situations.

After completing the lecture portion, the students moved on to the practical portion of the program. Under the guidance of icebreaker staff, the students explored the ship from the inside, visiting the captain's cabin, the mess hall, the radio room, and the steering bridge. The tour allowed them to better understand the crew's daily life and the challenges of working in the harsh Arctic climate.

The final part was an interactive game, "Arctic Navigator." Participants divided into teams and tested their knowledge by plotting a safe route for the icebreaker amidst dangerous icebergs and storms. To succeed, they had to consider weather reports and navigate the map. Quizzes and tasks allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of the peculiarities of the planet's northernmost point.

The final results were summed up by presenting commemorative gifts to each participant. The winners of the game received a special prize from the "Revival of Nature" Charitable Foundation.

Following the event, representatives of the Revival of Nature Charitable Foundation expressed gratitude to their partners, placing particular emphasis on the contributions of the organizations that made the "NOLesson" possible: the Russian Geographical Society, the Museum of the World Ocean, and the crew of the legendary icebreaker Krasin.

"NOT a Geography Lesson. Conquering the Arctic" was lively, engaging, and useful, giving young people new impressions and knowledge. This experience will become a springboard for new discoveries and useful initiatives!

We wish the young participants continued success in their geographic studies, inspiration, and the joy of exploring our planet's natural resources. Together, we can make the world a better place and preserve nature for future generations!
