WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Friday set Sunday as the deadline for Hamas to accept a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.

On his TruthSocial social media page, the US president wrote that Hamas is being given one last chance. An agreement must be reached by 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, or else "Hamas will face a hell like no one has ever seen."

He also called on Palestinians to immediately leave dangerous areas and move to safer parts of the enclave.

On September 29, the US presidential administration presented a 20-point plan for Gaza following talks between Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

The plan calls for a ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages, a phased Israeli withdrawal, demilitarization of Gaza, and international oversight of Gaza's reconstruction and governance after the conflict ends, as well as the exclusion of Hamas from the enclave's governance structure.

According to the terms of the deal, Israel will cease hostilities and withdraw to agreed-upon lines. Hamas must release all hostages and return the bodies of the dead within 72 hours of Israel's public acceptance of the agreement. In exchange, Israel will release 250 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment and 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023. Disarmed Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence will be granted amnesty, and those who wish to leave Gaza will be granted safe passage to host countries.

At a press conference after the meeting, B. Netanyahu endorsed the US plan, stating that it meets Israel's main goals: the return of hostages, the elimination of Hamas's military potential, the end of the group's political presence, and a guarantee of the demilitarization of Gaza. –0–

NSU celebrated the anniversary of the Faculty of Information Technology

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 2, the scientific and practical conference “Technological Sovereignty Begins with Us,” dedicated to the 25th anniversary, was held in the conference hall of the new NSU classroom building. Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) of NSUThe event brought together students, faculty, researchers, and the faculty's partners. The conference addressed the development of domestic IT technologies. A ceremony celebrating the faculty's anniversary was part of the conference.

The scientific and practical conference began with a presentation by Mikhail Lavrentyev, Dean of the NSU Faculty of Information Technologies and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who discussed the faculty's history, development, and key achievements.

"On a day like this, I certainly want to remember Vladimir Ivanovich Nifontov, the founding dean of the Faculty of Information Technology. At the initiative of NSU Rector Nikolai Sergeyevich Dikansky, he took on a difficult task: he founded our faculty, which is still growing, on the premises of the Faculty of Engineering at the NSU Higher College of Informatics. Thanks to Vladimir Ivanovich, the Faculty of Information Technology is currently growing and developing. Another dean who made a significant contribution to the development of our faculty was Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Anatoly Mikhailovich Fedotov; it was always comfortable and pleasant to work with him," said Mikhail Lavrentyev.

According to SuperJob, NSU's Faculty of Information Technologies ranks 7th in Russia for graduate salaries. It is also among the top 301–350 universities in the Computer Science category.

"This year, the competition for the faculty's graduate program is 2.5 applicants per place, which demonstrates that graduate school has become popular among IT specialists. I'm pleased to announce that our dissertation defense council for technical sciences has been established. Only a few universities have been authorized to award academic degrees. Our university joined this cohort, and our council began its work this year. Three dissertation defenses have already been held, and a fourth is being processed," emphasized Mikhail Lavrentyev.

In total, the Faculty of Industrial Technologies (FIT) has over 300 faculty members, 185 of whom are company directors and leading IT specialists. The faculty collaborates closely with businesses: four joint laboratories currently operate at the Faculty of Industrial Technologies (FIT): SberLab NSU, Shift Lab, YADRO Laboratory, and PGLab. To further foster fruitful collaboration with partners, the university has established the honorary titles of "Industrial Professor" and "Industrial Associate Professor." These titles enable company representatives to obtain associate professor positions at the university without holding an academic degree.

The faculty also includes many candidates and doctors of science, as well as staff members from Akademgorodok institutes. For example, the faculty closely collaborates with the A.P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems, the S. L. Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, the Federal Research Center for Information and Computational Technologies, and others.

"The Institute of Cytology and Genetics and the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics are particularly noteworthy in this list—two institutes that aren't specifically targeted at IT specialists. Nevertheless, we've developed fruitful collaborations with each, and each offers its own educational specializations. Students actively choose and continue their scientific and engineering careers directly at these institutes. One of the faculty's graduates, Deputy Dean for Master's Studies A.A. Vlasov, began his career at the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics, defended his dissertation in geophysics, and then returned to the university—a shining example of an interesting and successful career," added Mikhail Lavrentyev.

Later at the conference, leading IT specialists and IT company executives presented reports on topics such as technological independence, software import substitution, artificial intelligence developments, and infrastructure solutions, and also shared experiences with students from the faculty. Speakers included representatives from SberTech, SoftLab-NSK, Data East, Exposoft, and others.

The ceremony, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the faculty, began with a speech by NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk:

"I am pleased to be here at the Faculty of Information Technology's celebration. As many of you know, the Faculty of Information Technology emerged during the era of faculty formation, under Nikolai Sergeyevich Dikansky. On this day, it's worth recognizing the Faculty's deans, all of whom were remarkable individuals. For example, the organizing dean, Vladimir Ivanovich Nifontov, was a poet, an artist, and a mountain climber. It's also worth remembering those who stood at the origins of computer science, two outstanding figures in Akademgorodok—Andrei Petrovich Ershov and Igor Vasilyevich Pottosin."

Importantly, the faculty maintains its growth momentum: for example, the average Unified State Exam (USE) score for the Computer Science and Systems Engineering program this year was 91.3, 1.6 points higher than the 2024 target, and for Software Engineering and Computer Science, it was 88, one of the highest scores at NSU. Considering the number of students enrolled on a state-funded basis, this is an excellent indicator for the entire university. I sincerely congratulate the faculty, wishing them prosperity and growth. We have high hopes for the development of the Faculty of Information Technologies and the IT industry in Akademgorodok. Twenty-five years is a wonderful year. It's young, vibrant, and exciting.

Vice Governor of the Novosibirsk Region Irina Manuilova joined in the congratulations:

"Twenty-five is a time when you've developed a certain confidence, a clear vision, and a passion for what you do. I want the faculty to maintain and enhance these qualities. The faculty is engaged in a task of paramount importance to the country, because training IT specialists means addressing the challenges of technological sovereignty, technological leadership in the truest sense. Without IT technologies, without working with artificial intelligence, it's unlikely we can expect any significant success. And you, future specialists, must be the first to do this. Over these 25 years, this school has developed, and it has become one of the best not only in the country but also in the world. And so I'm confident that success and a breakthrough await us. The faculty has developed a unique ecosystem where education, science, and industry, represented by IT companies, work together." This is what the founders of our Akademgorodok bequeathed to us, and I am confident that this model, which is successfully implemented today at your faculty, will continue to justify its purpose for many decades to come!

The ceremony also included awards to faculty members and partners for their work and contributions to the development of the NSU Faculty of Information Technology.

The Governor of the Novosibirsk Region awarded its awards to: Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology for Postgraduate Studies Aris Savvich Tersenov and Industrial Professor of NSU, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology for Master's Studies Alexander Alexandrovich Vlasov.

The Sovetsky District Administration presented a certificate of gratitude to Associate Professor and Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Gulnara Erkinovna Yakhyaeva and Senior Lecturer Marina Anatolyevna Derzho.

At the end of the ceremony, the students of the Class of 2025 read a message to the students of 2050, “sealed” it in a time capsule, which they handed over to the Dean of the Faculty for safekeeping.

Events celebrating the 25th anniversary of the NSU Faculty of Information Technologies are taking place throughout this week—Programmer's Week. It includes hackathons, quizzes, a research and practice conference, a first-year student orientation, and an Olympiad. The celebratory week will conclude on October 5th with the online round of the 26th I.V. Pottosin Open All-Siberian Programming Olympiad, the largest IT event in Russia.

The forum's plenary session will take place in Makhachkala on October 3.

Dear friends!

I am pleased to welcome you to the II International Forum “Sustainable Development of Mountain Territories”.

It brings together leading experts, representatives of educational and research institutions, business communities, and public organizations. It provides a unique opportunity to discuss the most pressing issues, exchange best practices, find comprehensive solutions, and strengthen interstate cooperation.

Mountain ecosystems occupy a quarter of the planet's surface and provide clean water to more than half the world's population. Current climate change is causing glaciers to melt, leading to negative global consequences. Today, the international community faces serious challenges, including preserving the ecological balance, landscape and biological diversity, and the sustainable use of water and mineral resources. This is why holding such large-scale events is particularly important.

I am confident that the forum's constructive discussions will yield many interesting ideas and proposals. In collaboration with our international colleagues, we will develop specific mechanisms for adapting mountain regions to climate change, and adopt joint initiatives aimed at protecting the environment, improving the socioeconomic well-being, and improving the quality of life of people living in these areas.

I wish all participants fruitful work, success and all the best.

M. Mishustin

"Your forum has become a key platform for the professional community to define common values and guiding principles for youth education. This year, over a thousand homeroom teachers and vocational education group supervisors from all Russian regions participated in the event. You are a truly powerful team of experts. Colleagues from friendly countries—Abkhazia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and South Ossetia—also attended the forum," he noted.

Dmitry Chernyshenko reported that the business program included many interesting meetings. They discussed such topical issues as the quality of education, character development in modern schools, the role of the homeroom teacher in shaping students' personalities, and the implementation of digital technologies. In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister congratulated the forum participants on the upcoming Teacher's Day and wished them professional success, creative achievements, and the greatest possible number of talented students.

Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov noted that competitions are not simply a contest of skill, but a vital tool for developing domestic education.

"In 2025, we continued our work to create a unified ecosystem of competitions. This allows us to strengthen the professional community, share best practices, and jointly address key public policy challenges in education. By joining forces, we are creating continuity between educational levels, supporting mentoring, and identifying true leaders capable of influencing the country's educational agenda. Your experience is the foundation for educating the younger generation in the spirit of traditional Russian values," the minister greeted the finalists.

Sergey Kravtsov emphasized that each of the contestants is a true professional whose hard work, dedication, and boundless love for children shape the country's future. He emphasized that teachers nurture individuals, lay moral foundations, and teach them to think, empathize, and win.

"This victory is ours—together with my family, my school, my teachers, my students, and my Belgorod region. Along the competition path, I met a huge number of wonderful people and tried to learn from them. On the eve of Teacher's Day, I wish everyone the opportunity to learn from everyone and everything," said Dmitry Balanchukov.

He cited one expression that helped him in this competition: "If three people are going, then your teacher will definitely be among them. And even among your students."

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting to discuss the progress of the federal project "Forest Conservation" within the national project "Environmental Well-Being." The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Federal Forestry Agency, and other relevant agencies.

Dmitry Patrushev reported that more than 71 billion rubles have been allocated for the current federal project by 2030, which is more than 70% more than the funding for this area in the previous national project.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that reforestation has shown a steady positive trend since 2021: more forests are being added than are being lost. In addition to maintaining this positive balance, the new federal project places emphasis on improving the quality of reforestation. These measures include the reconstruction of existing and the creation of new state-owned forest shelterbelts around certain major industrial centers. Work is currently underway to expand the list of areas where reforestation is most needed.

Fundamentally new areas have also emerged. For example, research is being conducted to create a database of genetic and breeding data for forest-forming tree species. This will increase the resilience of forest stands, including to diseases and pests.

A reserve seed stock is being created to support reforestation. For the first time, the federal project includes the restoration of existing forest nurseries and the creation of new ones.

One of the project's key goals is to ensure effective forest fire prevention. Significant funds are allocated annually from the federal budget for this purpose. As part of the federal project, a forest fire center was established in the Zabaikalsky Krai this year. By 2030, more than 1,700 units of specialized equipment for forest fire suppression will be purchased.

The federal project "Forest Conservation" aims to achieve the national goal of "Environmental Well-being." The federal project aims to preserve and enhance the country's forests to create comfortable and safe living conditions, as well as to maintain and develop the economic potential of the forestry sector.
