NordStar Airlines operated its inaugural flight on the Norilsk-Krasnodar route. The first flight, after a lengthy hiatus, took place on October 6, 2025. Passengers will be able to fly to Krasnodar twice a week in the future.

The first flight from Norilsk Airport to Krasnodar departed with a high occupancy rate, demonstrating the high demand for this route among passengers.

This important event marks the return of a historic route long beloved by our passengers living in the Norilsk industrial region. Krasnodar has always held a special place among NordStar's routes, and now, with the lifting of flight restrictions to the capital of Kuban, this route will once again open up the opportunity for Norilsk residents to vacation at the resorts of the Krasnodar Region, as well as visit cities such as Anapa, Sochi, and others.

"NordStar Airlines is constantly working to expand its route network, striving to make air travel from Norilsk more diverse and comfortable. By reopening flights to Krasnodar, we hope that they will be a wonderful addition to our existing routes in 2025, and that our passengers will be able to discover even more travel options within the Krasnodar Region," NordStar Airlines' press service reported.

It's worth noting that previously, due to air travel restrictions to cities in the Krasnodar Krai, the journey south for passengers involved numerous transfers and significant time expenditures. The launch of two convenient weekly flights will allow passengers to travel with their usual comfort.

Tickets for these and other NordStar flights can be purchased on the official website. www.nordstar.ru, in the airline's mobile app, at city ticket agencies, as well as through the NordStar Airlines Contact Center by phone at 8-800-700-8-007 (free call within Russia) or by dialing *0887 for free calls within the Russian Federation from a mobile phone.

Brasilia, October 6 – Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and US President Donald Trump held a telephone conversation on Monday, initiated by the latter. During the conversation, the Brazilian leader called on his US counterpart to lift the recently imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods, according to the Communications Secretariat of the Brazilian President's Office.

In a telephone conversation, L.I. Lula da Silva noted that Brazil is one of three G20 countries with which the United States has a positive trade balance, and called on D. Trump to lift tariffs and sanctions against Brazilian officials, including the revocation of their American visas.

“The leaders of the two countries spoke in a friendly tone for 30 minutes,” the statement said.

Also participating in the conversation were Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, the President's press secretary and his chief adviser.

The call came amid tensions over Trump's decision to impose 50 percent tariffs on a range of Brazilian goods, starting August 6.

The two leaders agreed to meet in person in the near future. L.I. Lula da Silva again invited Donald Trump to attend the UN Climate Change Conference, which will be held this November in the Amazonian city of Belém.

The US President announced the possibility of a direct meeting with the Brazilian leader last month during the UN General Assembly in New York. The two presidents briefly met, greeting each other and expressing their willingness to engage in dialogue.

Lusaka, October 7 (Xinhua) — Four illegal miners were killed in a gold mine collapse in Shivangandu district in northern Zambia, police said on Monday.

Police Public Relations Officer Ray Hamunga said the pit wall at the gold mine collapsed on Sunday afternoon while four workers were manually digging for gold.

Efforts were immediately made to retrieve the bodies, but by the time rescuers reached the workers, all four had already died, the officer said in a statement on Facebook.

R. Hamunga once again called on the public not to engage in illegal mining.

The discovery of minerals such as gold in some areas of Zambia has led to a rise in illegal mining, despite government efforts to legalise small-scale operations through licences.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump announced Monday that a 25 percent tariff on imported medium- and heavy-duty trucks will take effect from November 1.

“Starting November 1, 2025, all medium and heavy-duty trucks entering the United States from other countries will be subject to a 25% tariff,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

On September 25, he announced a 25 percent tariff on "heavy/large/trucks" manufactured outside the United States, effective October 1. "We need our truckers to be financially healthy and strong for many reasons, but most of all, for national security!" he wrote then.

According to local media reports, the tariff's implementation was delayed due to opposition from major US automakers concerned about potential supply chain disruptions and rising costs.

Vienna, October 7 (Xinhua) — Multiple shelling sounds were heard at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) on Monday amid the facility's longest-ever power outage, posing "growing risks" to its nuclear safety, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement.

In the afternoon, a total of approximately 15 rounds of shelling were carried out at close and medium ranges from the plant. Zaporizhzhya NPP informed the IAEA that two rounds were carried out approximately 1.25 km from the site perimeter, according to the IAEA statement.

There have been no reports of casualties or damage so far. However, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that the shelling once again highlighted the ongoing danger facing the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

"The nuclear safety situation is clearly not improving. On the contrary, the risks are growing," said R. Grossi. "The plant has been without external power for almost two weeks, forcing it to rely on emergency diesel generators to provide the electricity needed to cool the shut-down reactors and spent fuel. This is an extremely difficult situation."

In his statement, R. Grossi called for “maximum military restraint near nuclear facilities,” noting that he would continue to cooperate with Russia and Ukraine to quickly restore external power supply to the nuclear power plant.

On September 23, due to a conflict, the Zaporizhzhya NPP lost connection to the last remaining 750-kilovolt power line. Eight emergency diesel generators are currently operating to provide backup power to the facility.

"I condemn the killing of Anthony Lallican and call for a full and transparent investigation. Journalists play a key role in informing the world and ensuring the right of local populations to access information. I reiterate the need to respect international humanitarian law, including UN Security Council Resolution 2222 on the protection of journalists, media workers, and associated persons in conflict, the provisions of which are reaffirmed in the UN Pact for the Future," Azoulay said.

Antoni Lallican worked as a photojournalist for Le Monde, Le Figaro, Libération, Mediapart, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Die Welt, Le Temps, Der Standard, and La Presse. He was reportedly killed in a drone strike while wearing a vest emblazoned with the word "Press" and on assignment for the Hans Lucas photo agency.

According to UNESCO, at least 23 journalists and media workers have died in the line of duty in Ukraine since February 2022. This figure does not include those whose deaths were not related to their journalistic work.

'Find everyone': Head of UN mission searching for missing Syrians outlines progress

"We're looking for everyone. No exceptions." With these words, Carla Quintana, head of the UN Independent Institute for Missing Persons in Syria, began a discussion about the work of the new body, created at the initiative of the families of missing persons. In an interview with the UN News Service, she discussed the initial results, challenges, and the hope her mission brings.

The Institute, just two years old, was established by a UN General Assembly resolution. It has become a unique example of international support for an initiative coming from the victims themselves. "This is not just an institution; it is a collective effort of the Syrian people, the international community, civil society organizations, and the new authorities," Quintana emphasizes.

"The most important thing is to gain the trust of the victims' families."

The institute's mandate covers all missing persons in Syria and those who disappeared while attempting to flee the country. This includes victims of enforced disappearances, children who disappeared during the conflict, migrants, and people who disappeared after the overthrow of the Assad regime.

"We started with cases where we already have reliable information. These are disappearances related to the former regime, ISIS activities, and migration. But that doesn't mean we're ignoring other cases. We just have less data on them yet," Quintana explains.

One of the main problems in the work remains limited access to information.

"To find missing people, we need to gather all the pieces of the puzzle – oral testimony, documents, and information from various sources. But the most important thing is to gain the families' trust," says Quintana.

The Institute is actively working to create data exchange channels between all parties, from the Syrian authorities to international organizations.

Time is of the essence

Quintana, who has experience working in Mexico and other Latin American countries, emphasizes: "We can't waste time experimenting. We know what methods work, and we're ready to share them."

"Every day of delay means lost witnesses, vanished documents, and dying relatives. We must act quickly," she says.

The Institute has already formed a forensic unit to work with both the living and the deceased.

"We were created thanks to the efforts of Syrian families, and we work with them every day," Quintana emphasizes. The institute holds regular meetings, updates information, and consults with relatives and organizations. The first meeting of the advisory board, which includes family representatives, experts, and activists, was recently held.

A story that remains in the heart

When asked about the most touching encounter, Quintana recalls the women from Daraya who met with representatives of an international organization for the first time.

"One of them told me she started looking for a husband when her daughter was just three months old," Quintana recalls. "This woman was with her daughter when she shared this story with us. She told me she'd started studying and was now a teacher herself. I looked at her daughter's face, now 13 or 14 years old, and realized that for the first time, she was understanding everything her mother had gone through. She was so proud of her. Ultimately, this woman managed to find her husband and give her daughter hope and new opportunities. These are the moments we work for."
