Moscow, November 5 (Xinhua) — Russia has always strictly adhered to its obligations under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and will continue to do so until another country conducts such tests. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this on Wednesday at a briefing with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council.

"Russia has always strictly adhered to its obligations under the treaty. And we have no plans to deviate from these obligations," TASS quoted him as saying.

At the same time, the Russian president indicated that if other countries conduct nuclear tests, Russia will be forced to take retaliatory action. "In my 2023 address to the Federal Assembly, I stated that if the United States or other states party to the relevant treaty conduct such tests, Russia will also be required to take appropriate retaliatory action," he emphasized.

Vladimir Putin instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the intelligence services, and civilian agencies to do everything possible to gather additional information on this issue, conduct its analysis at the Russian Security Council, and submit coordinated proposals on the possible commencement of work on preparing for nuclear weapons tests. –0–

Military Intelligence Officer Day: The Power of Knowledge, Honor, and Duty

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

November 5th marks Military Intelligence Day in Russia—a professional holiday for soldiers on the invisible front, whose work determines the success of military operations and the country's security.

Military intelligence as a branch of the armed forces was established in 1918, and since 1942 it has been coordinated by the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. The GRU's symbol is a flying bat—an emblem that reflects the essence of the profession: operating in the shadows, seeing what is hidden from others, and delivering precise, accurate strikes.

From the first days of the Great Patriotic War, intelligence officers were on the front lines, gathering information about enemy plans and ensuring the success of operations near Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk. It was military intelligence that made a decisive contribution to the preparations for the liberation of Europe. Their exploits were rarely reported, but thousands of lives depended on their work.

Today, military intelligence is more than just covert operations and frontline work. It has become a high-tech military discipline, combining traditional intelligence work, big data analysis, satellite and electronic monitoring. It's an elite service that values intelligence, perseverance, and the ability to think several steps ahead. Modern intelligence officers analyze global risks, cyber threats, satellite data, troop movements, and economic processes. They operate at the intersection of technology and analytics, where artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cybersecurity are essential.

Their mission remains the same: to stay ahead of threats, anticipate enemy actions, and defend the country while upholding the traditions of professionalism and honor established by their predecessors.

At GUU, we traditionally train specialists for whom analysis, strategic thinking, and responsibility are not just professional skills, but a way of thinking. These qualities are akin to the spirit of intelligence—service to a cause where success always requires knowledge and precision.

We congratulate the veterans and active military intelligence officers—the elite of the Russian armed forces, those who serve with honor, defending the country anywhere in the world. May devotion to duty, the power of knowledge, and determination always be your true allies.

BEIJING, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — China on Wednesday reiterated its protest over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent meeting with representatives of the Chinese region of Taiwan, calling on Japan to reflect on its historical guilt and strictly adhere to the one-China principle.

“There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of Chinese territory,” Zhang Han, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, said at a press conference in response to a media question.

Zhang Han noted that Japan's actions grossly violated the one-China principle, the spirit of the Four Sino-Japanese Political Documents, and the basic norms of international relations, sending a serious wrong signal to separatists advocating for "Taiwan independence."

“We express our strong protest in this regard,” she emphasized.

On October 31 and November 1, S. Takaichi posted photos and comments on social media about her meeting and communication with representatives of the Chinese region of Taiwan on the sidelines of the informal meeting of the leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. –0–

Beijing, November 5 (Xinhua) — Mainland China always values the opinions and suggestions of its Taiwanese compatriots and strives to create convenient conditions for them to travel to the mainland, Zhang Han, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, announced on Wednesday.

The number of entry points in mainland China authorized to issue single-entry permits on arrival to Taiwan residents will increase to 100 from November 20, according to the State Immigration Administration of the People's Republic of China.

Zhang Han announced at a press conference that Taiwanese nationals can fly or sail to the mainland from anywhere in the world and receive an entry permit at the port of entry within 30 minutes. The permit allows for a stay of up to three months.

The spokesperson added that Taiwan residents can also obtain a travel permit in the form of a card valid for five years in mainland China through exit-entry authorities at the county level or above or through travel agencies in Taiwan.

"For Taiwanese compatriots visiting mainland China for the first time, permits are issued free of charge, and entry to more than 1,000 tourist attractions is also free," Zhang Han said, assuring that the personal information of permit holders will be strictly protected in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Commenting on recent "warnings" from Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council and the Taiwan Strait Exchange Foundation about the "risks" of traveling to the mainland, Zhang Han said the Democratic Progressive Party administration in Taiwan is deliberately hyping the issue in an attempt to hinder cross-strait exchanges and travel.

“As long as the law is observed, our Taiwanese compatriots can travel to mainland China just as easily and safely as they return home,” the official spokesperson emphasized.

Beijing, November 5 (Xinhua) — Individuals who persistently engage in separatist activities aimed at achieving "Taiwan independence," regardless of their location, will be subject to appropriate penalties, and their legal accountability will be for life, Zhang Han, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, announced on Wednesday.

At a press conference, Zhang Han said the investigation launched by mainland Chinese police against Taiwanese separatist Shen Boyang is a legitimate and justified step to combat separatism and protect national unity.

Commenting on Taiwan's claims regarding jurisdiction in this case, the official representative emphasized that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and that activities aimed at achieving "Taiwan independence" constitute a criminal act of separatism and national treason.

She clarified that the relevant judicial and law enforcement measures are aimed exclusively at a few individuals involved in serious separatist activities and do not affect the vast majority of Taiwan's residents. –0–

UN Secretary-General: Security Council approval required for Gaza stabilization force

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

November 4, 2025 Peace and security

During the transition period in Gaza, it is necessary to maintain unity between the enclave and the West Bank, and strive to achieve a two-state solution. UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated this on Tuesday, speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha.

Journalists asked him about cooperation with Israel and US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for the Gaza Strip, which calls for the deployment of a temporary international stabilization force in the enclave.

Expanding humanitarian operations

The Secretary-General stated that the UN is committed to increasing the scale of humanitarian aid in Gaza and ensuring it reaches the entire population. He added that the United States has been instrumental in ensuring that "Israel at least gradually removes some of the obstacles and difficulties that still exist" along this path.

“We strongly support the principles that the ceasefire must be respected, that all parties are obliged to implement it, and that the next stage must ensure connectivity between Gaza and the West Bank,” Guterres continued, “and we believe that this must lead to the implementation of the two-state solution and the recognition of an independent Palestinian state.”

The Secretary-General emphasized that the UN's positions are "very clear" and do not depend "on cooperation with any particular country."

US draft resolution

He noted that the United States is developing a draft Security Council resolution on Gaza in consultation with other members of the Security Council, but the UN Secretariat is not participating in the discussions.

"We believe that any entity that is created in Gaza must have legitimacy through a mandate from the Security Council," Guterres said.

Asked whether this included international forces, he replied that "that is one of the topics of discussion" and that "it would be important to train and form a Palestinian police force."

The UN chief stressed that the transition period should lead to a situation in which Gaza and the West Bank are united, and the Palestinian Authority will have full control over the entire territory.

Top Stories of the Day | Tuesday: Doha, Climate, Sudan, Turkic Languages

November 4, 2025 UN

The main news of the day at the UN and around the world: the adoption of the Doha Political Declaration, a new report on reducing emissions and forecasting global temperature rise, the Secretary-General's call to end the violence in Sudan, and the proclamation of World Day of Turkic Languages.

Doha Declaration

World leaders adopted the Doha Political Declaration on Tuesday at the Second World Summit for Social Development, reaffirming their global commitment to building more just and inclusive societies. The declaration represents a collective commitment by governments to fight poverty, create decent jobs, combat discrimination, expand access to social protection, and protect human rights. The document emphasizes that social development is essential for peace, stability, and economic growth. The summit in Doha, Qatar, brought together more than 40 heads of state and government, 170 ministers, heads of international organizations, civil society representatives, and experts.

Reducing emissions

According to an analysis by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), countries' new climate commitments under the Paris Agreement have only marginally improved the projected global temperature rise this century. Climate threats continue to mount. A new UNEP report states that if countries fully implement their emissions reduction pledges, global temperatures will rise by 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century. Last year, the projected increase was 2.6 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the world remains far from the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping warming to 2 degrees Celsius.

Famine in Sudan

Despite the food situation, António Guterres on Tuesday called on the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Intervention Force rebels to cease fire and come to the negotiating table.

Turkic Languages Day

Participants in the 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference, currently taking place in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, adopted a resolution establishing a World Day of Turkic Languages. It will be celebrated on December 15. According to the document, the proclamation of the Day will contribute to the implementation of UNESCO's priorities in the areas of linguistic and cultural diversity, as well as the preservation and development of oral traditions and forms of expression. The inclusion of Turkic languages on the agenda of the UNESCO General Conference was requested by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan, with the support of 21 other countries.

Famine in Sudan: Two cities cut off from aid

November 4, 2025 Humanitarian aid

A new study shows a stark contrast in nutritional conditions across conflict lines in war-torn Sudan, UN humanitarian agencies reported Tuesday. While the food situation has begun to improve in areas where fighting has subsided, full-scale famine threatens residents in areas cut off from aid or under siege.

Conditions of mass starvation were confirmed in El Fasher and Kadugli, where "people have endured months without reliable access to food and health care," the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said in a joint statement.

Call for a ceasefire

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres On Tuesday, Guterres called for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan amid disturbing images of alleged massacres in El Fasher and elsewhere. He called on the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Intervention Force rebels to "come to the negotiating table to end this nightmare of violence."

Heavy fighting between rival armies erupted in Sudan in April 2023, leading to a massive humanitarian disaster. Last week, El Fasher, which had been under government control, fell after more than 500 days of rebel siege. Hundreds of civilians, including aid workers, were reportedly killed, and many more remain trapped behind barricades.

Millions continue to starve

According to the analysis within the framework Integrated classification of food security phasesBy September, approximately 21.2 million people in Sudan—45 percent of the population—were facing acute food insecurity. This represents a slight improvement. Approximately 3.4 million people are no longer experiencing crisis levels of hunger.

The improvements are linked to gradual stabilisation since May in three states – Khartoum, El Gezira and Sennar.

"But these achievements are limited," UN agencies noted. "The widespread crisis has devastated the economy and vital services, and much of the infrastructure on which people depend has been damaged or destroyed."

Fragile progress

Favorable conditions for harvesting are expected after the current harvest and next year, which could reduce the level of hunger crisis. However, "this fragile success is highly localized," as many families returning to their hometowns in Khartoum and El Gezira will face difficulties in reaping the fruits of their labor.

Meanwhile, active fighting continues in the western regions of the country, particularly in North and South Darfur, as well as West and South Kordofan. Famine there is expected to worsen starting in February as food supplies deplete and fighting continues.

Hunger in besieged areas

Experts have determined that full-scale famine conditions are present in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, and Kadugli in South Kordofan, which have been largely cut off from supplies due to the conflict.

UN agencies noted that the situation in Dilling, South Kordofan, "is likely similar to Kadugli, but cannot be classified due to a lack of reliable data as a result of limited humanitarian access and ongoing fighting."

There have been slight improvements in the western Nuba Mountains, but hunger levels remain high until humanitarian access improves.

Experts predict the risk of widespread famine in 20 more areas of Darfur and Kordofan, including rural settlements, camps for displaced people, and several new locations in East Darfur and South Kordofan.

Meanwhile, with health, water and sanitation systems collapsing in Sudan, cholera, malaria and measles also continue to spread.
