Cairo, October 6 (Xinhua) — Ensuring a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, releasing prisoners and detainees, and launching a political process to establish a Palestinian state are steps in the right direction toward achieving lasting peace and stability, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi said Monday in a televised address commemorating the 52nd anniversary of the end of Egypt's 1973 war with Israel.

A.F. al-Sisi thanked the American side for the recent initiative to bring about a ceasefire after the two-year conflict in Gaza.

His statement came as a Hamas delegation led by senior official Khalil al-Hayya arrived in Egypt on Sunday for talks with Israel. The talks are expected to cover the terms of a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, and a prisoner exchange, Hamas reports.

"Reconciliation, not confrontation, is the only way to build a secure future for our children," said A.F. el-Sisi. He added that Egypt's 1979 peace treaty with Israel was not just an agreement, but a model of a "just peace" that strengthened stability.

Tehran, October 6 (Xinhua) — Iran has always supported any initiatives that guarantee an end to "ethnic cleansing and inhumane war crimes" in Gaza and create conditions for Palestinians to realize their right to self-determination, the country's Foreign Ministry stated late Sunday evening.

In its statement, the department condemned the US-proposed Gaza ceasefire plan, describing it as having “unsustainable aspects and aspects.”

The document also speaks of Israel's repeated violations of its obligations, particularly its "expansionist and racist" plans. The ministry emphasized the responsibility of other states to ensure the Palestinians' right to self-determination and liberation from Israeli occupation.

Iran welcomes any efforts aimed at "ending the ongoing genocide" of Palestinians in the coastal enclave, as well as ensuring the withdrawal of Israeli troops, the delivery of humanitarian aid and the reconstruction of Gaza, the statement said. -0-

The team, which includes representatives from SPbGASU: Alexandra Yalovitskaya (IRNITU) – team assistant; Diana Piletskaya; Ekaterina Miroshnichenko (MARCHI); Pavel Burnin (IRNITU); Alexey Levashev – PhD, team leader (IRNITU)

Diana Piletskaya and Vladislav Podberezsky, Master's students in the Land Management and Cadastre program specializing in Cadastral Management, are participating in the International Baikal Winter Urban Planning University, organized by the Irkutsk National Research Technical University (IRNITU). The event's theme is "Irkutsk. Karl Marx Street Neighborhoods. New Life for the Historic Center." The first session took place from September 18–24, and the second is scheduled for February 2026.

The competition involves developing projects aimed at improving the city's environment, architectural and urban design, infrastructure, and transportation. Every year since 1999, the International Baikal Winter Urban Planning University has proposed a series of topics important to the city and related to improving the urban environment. This year, students from various cities in Russia and abroad were divided into six teams based on their interests and competencies. Diana and Vladislav were members of the team working on the topic "Revitalization of Karl Marx Street. A New Transportation Plan for Irkutsk."

Since the project is intended to be practical, it consists of three stages. The first session represented the first stage and involved developing the technical specifications for subsequent steps. From September 2025 to February 2026, teams will work remotely to develop various project proposals on their topic, collaborating with other teams to create a unified framework of mutually complementary ideas and integrating them into a single, cohesive project. A second in-person session will be held in Irkutsk at the end of February, during which the teams will meet again to discuss their existing materials and proposals, make any adjustments, and present their projects to leading Russian architects and urban planners, as well as international experts.

"'Preparatory process for the technical specification defense' sounds confusing, but in reality, it was a very intense period during which various project development options were discussed, various combinations and possible design proposals were explored. The defense was quite exciting and challenging; the topic was declared to be of utmost importance to the city. The experts presented their proposals and ideas for what they would like to see at the end of the competition, and also offered parting words.

Each month, the project curator will hold a remote meeting with each team, during which all current developments will be presented.

"Cadastral activities enable urban planners to translate their ideas into feasible, legally feasible, cost-effective, and safe solutions that improve the quality of life in the city," noted Yana Volkova, PhD, Acting Head of the Department of Geodesy, Land Management, and Cadastre at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 4, 2025, students from the Expeditionary Corps of the State University of Management arrived in the village of Vozhega in the Vologda Region to carry out restoration work in churches.

On the first day, Father John, the rector of the local diocese, gave the expedition participants a tour of the village and told them about its history. During the tour, the students visited the Church of the Prophet Elijah and the Trinity Church, which was under construction. For the latter, our expedition provided two bricks bearing the name of the University of Management and the University Expeditionary Corps, which will support the walls of the new church.

Next, the children visited the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village of Gridino and learned the history of this place.

On the second day, the students were introduced to the churches of Beketovskaya village. Their work week began there. The girls were busy landscaping the grounds of Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, while the young men took on what was literally the dirtiest and dustiest work – clearing slag and sawdust from the church's ceiling and attic.

On the third day, work is scheduled to dismantle the ceiling of the old workshop at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Our students will also help clean out the interior of St. Nicholas Church.

We share the impressions of the expedition participants, this time including a master's student from the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Nikita Belyaev, ISUiP, third-year: "Every trip is a living lesson that can't be learned in a classroom. It's constant movement, new people, unexpected discoveries. It's the best way to broaden your horizons—not by watching other people's content, but through your own experiences."

Polina Gindullina, IIS, third-year student: "For me, the Expeditionary Corps is primarily about people and the road. Expeditionary life, with its simple routine and lack of convention, naturally brings people together. Shared challenges and experiences become the foundation for warm and close relationships. And so, gradually, with each trip, the team develops into a true road family with its own stories and vibe. On the road, you develop the skill of being flexible and appreciating not only the result but the journey itself. It allows you to organize your thoughts, focus on what's important, and reminds you how wonderful it is to be in the moment and appreciate the beauty of nature."

Anastasia Kuznetsova, IOM, second-year: "The expeditionary corps feels like one big family, like friends you've been going to the same camp with for years. They're all sociable, hardworking people who know what they want. It's not like everyone's on their own on these trips; we're all together, a team that works together during the day and gathers in the evening to discuss the day, play games, and just spend time together. Plus, it's great to know that you're not only having a good time but also helping people."

Kătălin Grigoryev, ISULP, first-year master's student: "I enjoy being part of the Expeditionary Corps for several reasons. First and foremost, it's a huge contribution to the development of our university's expeditions. Also, in my opinion, it's during an expedition that you can truly experience and understand how a team works and the roles within it, which is essential knowledge for future university managers."

Fyodor Gudkov, RSUH, Historical and Archival Institute, Faculty of Archival Science and Documentation, first-year Master's student: "Traveling and expeditions are very interesting to me. I've been involved in active tourism since childhood, participating in long rafting trips on the Seversky Donets River and long-distance cycling trips. I'm happy to be part of the GUU Expeditionary Corps, as it offers a unique opportunity to see my country and also to benefit society by participating in creative work. This is precisely the goal of our current trip to the village of Beketovskaya in the Vologda Oblast. I'm looking forward to new experiences, the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural and historical sites, and to helping specific people. This type of volunteer work is not at all foreign to me—I've volunteered twice in the SVO zone. I hope to go on hikes and trips with the GUU Expeditionary Corps as often as possible!"
