St. Petersburg Polytechnic University participated in EduTrac Oman, one of the largest educational exhibitions in the Gulf region, held in Muscat. The event provided a platform for universities and other institutions to connect with prospective students, prospective students, and their parents. The Polytechnic University was represented by Hamouda Khaled, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Mechanical Engineering, and Albina Bakurina, Deputy Head of the International Student Services Department.

In addition to the Polytechnic University, universities from Oman, Iran, the UK, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Japan, and Malaysia were represented at the exhibition. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University became the first Russian university to participate in person, generating excitement among participants and visitors.

Oleg Levin, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Sultanate of Oman, and his wife visited the Polytechnic University booth. The exhibition also marked the opening of the Russian House's partner booth in Oman. Discussions were held with its director, Anna Popova, on ways to collaborate with the Polytechnic University to promote Russian education in Oman.

Education in Russia generated considerable interest among exhibition visitors. Omani applicants expressed interest in the English-language programs, engineering, and IT programs offered at the Polytechnic University. Guests were given detailed information about admissions pathways, with a focus on the International Olympiad of the Association of Global Universities.

The trip allowed the university to assess its prospects for entering the Omani market and introduce local prospective students to Russian education. The Polytechnic students held productive negotiations with universities in Iran and India willing to collaborate, and also agreed to joint career guidance events with an Omani school.

"It was gratifying to hear some visitors say they came to the exhibition specifically to meet with Polytechnic University representatives, which speaks to our university's brand recognition abroad. We hope that the results achieved at the exhibition will be further developed into joint projects and increase the number of international students at Polytechnic University," noted Albina Bakurina.

UNICEF: Two-thirds of children in Europe and Central Asia experience violent parenting

October 13, 2025 Human rights

Nearly one in three children in Europe and Central Asia experiences physical punishment at home, and two-thirds of children experience psychological aggression. According to a new report published today by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), these are the most common forms of violence against children.

Data from the report "Where We Live and Learn: Violence Against Children in Europe and Central Asia" shows that physical punishment, including spanking, pinching, and hitting, is used against more than 30 percent of children in the region. Psychological aggression, including threats, humiliation, and verbal abuse, affects up to 69 percent of children in 15 countries and territories in the region for which data are available.

“Violence affects the lives of too many children in Europe and Central Asia, often at the hands of those who are supposed to protect and care for them,” said Regina De Dominicis, UNICEF Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia. “And while prohibition of all forms of corporal punishment under all circumstances is an important step, governments must go beyond that and invest in parental education, strong protection systems and community-based services to prevent violence and respond to it when it occurs.”

The vicious circle of violence

Data shows that over 90 percent of parents believe that physical punishment and psychological aggression are unnecessary, yet many still resort to them. This is often due to their inability to control their own emotions and a lack of awareness of the long-term detrimental impact of violent discipline on children's development and behavior.

WHO report: Corporal punishment widespread and harmful to children's health

Children exposed to physical or psychological abuse are more likely to suffer from mental health problems, struggle in school, and exhibit aggressive behavior. These consequences can continue into adulthood, increasing the likelihood of violence in their future families and communities. This perpetuates a vicious cycle of intergenerational violence.

Corporal punishment is currently prohibited in all settings, including the home, in 38 of the region's 55 countries and territories, but legislation must be supported by specific support for parents and caregivers, including parenting training programs and family support services.

Multidisciplinary support

The report also analyses the prevalence of sexual abuse and violence against children in schools:

Between 1 and 14 percent of women in 19 EU countries report experiencing sexual violence before the age of 15, although the actual figures are likely much higher. On average, 11 percent of children in the region report were bullied at school, 15 percent report having encountered cyberbullying, and 10 percent were involved in fights.

The global cost of violence against children, according to UNICEF, is estimated at $7 trillion per year, which is about 8 percent of global GDP.

Promising models such as Barnahus, which provides child survivors of violence with multidisciplinary, tailored support, demonstrate that coordinated services can help children overcome the effects of violence and achieve justice.

UNICEF offers six recommendations to accelerate progress:

Prohibit all forms of corporal punishment in all settings; invest in parenting training programmes and family support services that promote positive disciplinary measures; expand access to justice and child-sensitive social services; scale up the implementation of safe and inclusive learning environments free from peer and teacher violence; prioritize data collection and monitoring to track incidents of violence and assess progress; ensure that all children, including those with disabilities, on the move or in care, receive support.

Ending violence against children is a legal obligation under Convention on the Rights of the Child and a global commitment within the framework of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable DevelopmentHowever, the Europe and Central Asia region is not meeting the targets for achieving this goal.

Ramallah's mayor on life under occupation

October 13, 2025 Peace and security

Ramallah, located in the occupied Palestinian territory on the West Bank, is a bustling urban center surrounded by barriers and checkpoints that define every aspect of residents' lives. Speaking at the UN Forum of Mayors in Geneva, Ramallah Mayor Issa Kassis noted that the challenges facing city authorities are exacerbated by conflict and occupation.

For Cassis, housing isn't a privilege, but a matter of survival. "We resist," he says, "simply by remaining on our land. Occupation isn't just tanks and soldiers. It restricts not only your movement, but also your thoughts, plans, aspirations, and your vision of the future."

Providing basic services under occupation is also more difficult: "Our wells are located in Area C of the West Bank, where Israeli security is controlled. Israeli settlements are also located there, and settlers are attacking these water sources, undermining efforts to provide water, which is already among the lowest per capita in the world. Meanwhile, settlers enjoy their swimming pools."

To adapt, Ramallah is investing in wastewater treatment and irrigation projects, using recycled water to create green spaces. "When you see greenery, you see hope. And when you see hope, you strive for it," says the mayor.

Cultivating resilience

The cost of occupation is measured not primarily in barriers and shortages, but in lost lives. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023, more than 200 of them children.

Local residents are constantly under pressure, especially for families with children. "We are a young society," explains Kassis. "More than 65 percent of Ramallah residents are under 40. Half of them are teenagers or children." He says parents want their children to live freely and enjoy life, but they constantly fear harassment and arbitrary arrests.

"Thousands of people are behind bars. Every day, people are detained without a court order and held for six months, with the possibility of extension. The goal is to crush our spirit," the mayor believes. Nevertheless, he emphasizes, resilience remains: "Look at Gaza. Look at the smiling children. For me, that's resilience. These people choose life, no matter what."

Cassis believes that resilience must be nurtured from childhood – through education, green spaces, and fostering pride in one's land. "We've built this through years of hard work and raising our children to appreciate life, the beauty of the city, love the land, and feel a sense of belonging. It's part of our DNA in the municipality," he notes.

The way forward

The UN supports a two-state solution as the basis for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—an independent Palestinian state living side by side with Israel in peace and security. Key issues that remain to be resolved include borders, settlements, the status of Jerusalem, the refugee issue, and security arrangements.

Until that vision becomes reality, says Kassis, the people of Ramallah will continue to live in hope.

UN chief calls for urgent action to combat road accidents

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

October 13, 2025 UN

Every year, 1.2 million people die on the world's roads, and another 50 million are injured. "These aren't just statistics. These are children going to school, parents going to work, people whose lives are shattered in an instant," reads a statement from the Secretary-General, delivered Monday by Assistant Secretary-General Naveed Hanif at a high-level event at UN Headquarters.

Road accidents are the eighth leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of death among children over five and young adults. The problem is particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries, where 90 percent of all road deaths occur. Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and children—those who lack access to safe transportation and road infrastructure—are the most common victims.

The Secretary-General emphasized that solutions already exist: from improved urban planning and safe public transport to mandatory helmet and seatbelt use, speed enforcement, and effective emergency protocols. These measures have the potential to save thousands of lives.

The UN actively supports road safety efforts, with 94 countries already receiving assistance. In Brazil, the implementation of speed control protocols has reduced fatalities, in Rwanda, helmet laws protect motorcyclists every day, and in Laos, a new licensing system improves driver safety.

On the eve of the start UN Decade of Sustainable Transport calls for new partnerships in which philanthropic organizations should play a key role. "Your commitment has helped overcome polio, tuberculosis, hunger, and maternal mortality. Now it can transform the road safety landscape," António Guterres noted.

Road safety, according to the Secretary-General, is not only a matter of public health but also of development, urban planning, and climate action. "Together, we can save millions of lives and give the green light to road safety," he concluded.

The situation in Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who is taking part in the peace summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, welcomes the ongoing compliance with the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, as well as the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees. He called on all parties to strengthen this regime and transform it into a lasting peace. Meanwhile, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher announced the release of an additional $11 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund to expand humanitarian operations in the enclave ahead of winter. Speaking today in Sharm el-Sheikh ahead of the summit, he noted that the UN and partners are actively implementing their humanitarian plan.

Conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo

There is now "realistic hope" for a ceasefire that will pave the way for a lasting and final settlement to the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). UN Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa Huang Xia stated this at a Security Council meeting on Monday. He stated that despite the progress achieved through peace initiatives, further efforts are needed to achieve sustainable peace. The Special Envoy praised the efforts of the United States and Qatar to facilitate negotiations and expressed hope that they will resume soon.

Violence in South Sudan

This was stated today by experts from the UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan following their mission to the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. They reported that the number of armed clashes and forced displacements is again increasing: approximately 300,000 people have fled the country since the beginning of the year. The region is home to 2.5 million South Sudanese refugees.

Antimicrobial resistance

Every sixth laboratory-confirmed case of infection with common bacterial infections worldwide in 2023 was characterized by resistance to antibiotic treatmentBetween 2018 and 2023, more than 40 percent of monitored pathogen-antibiotic combinations demonstrated increasing resistance, according to a report published today by the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO data indicate that growing resistance to essential antibiotics poses a growing threat to public health.

Moscow, October 14 (Xinhua) – Russia is prepared for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, but due to the lack of alternatives, it is continuing its special military operation. This was stated by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday, according to the TASS news agency.

According to the Kremlin spokesman, the Russian side remains open and ready for dialogue: “One way or another, Russia will secure its interests and achieve its goals.”

D. Peskov noted that Moscow welcomes any efforts aimed at finding paths to peace, including US initiatives. "We certainly welcome such intentions and the confirmation of political will, so that all this contributes to the search for peaceful paths," he said.

He expressed hope that US influence and the diplomatic skills of President Donald Trump's envoys will help encourage Kyiv to be more proactive and committed to the peace process. According to D. Peskov, the US president's special envoy, Steven Witkoff, has proven himself an effective negotiator, and Moscow expects his work to continue to contribute to the conflict resolution.

Commenting on the possibility of transferring American Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, the press secretary noted that conclusions should be drawn based on the results of the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Let's wait for the statements, listen to them, and analyze them."
