Geneva/Tehran, February 26 (Xinhua) — The third round of indirect Iranian-American nuclear talks, brokered by Oman, began in Geneva, Switzerland, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency reported on Thursday.

The current round of talks on Iran's nuclear program comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States over the increased American military presence in West Asia.

At around 9:00 a.m. local time, delegations from both sides arrived at the Omani ambassador's residence in Geneva for talks. Security was heightened around the building, with police posted along the perimeter.

According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, on Wednesday evening, before the start of the talks, the head of the Iranian delegation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, met with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi and outlined the Islamic Republic's views on nuclear issues and the lifting of sanctions, as well as conveying Tehran's key considerations.

A. Araghchi emphasized that “the success of negotiations depends on the seriousness of the other party, as well as on whether it will avoid contradictory behavior and positions.”

On Tuesday, he said on the social media site X that Iran was approaching the talks with the determination to reach a "fair and equitable" agreement as soon as possible.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he prefers to resolve the situation with Iran through diplomacy. "But one thing is certain: I will never allow… Iran to have nuclear weapons," he noted.

The current meeting follows two rounds of proximity nuclear talks held earlier this month. The first was held in the Omani capital of Muscat on February 6, and the second in Geneva on February 17. –0–

Pyongyang, February 26 (Xinhua) — Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) showed no change in his attitude toward the Republic of Korea (ROK), once again calling his neighbor the "most hostile object" and "eternal enemy" at the recent ruling party congress, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Thursday.

“The DPRK has nothing to discuss with the ROK, the most hostile entity, and we will forever exclude the ROK from the category of ‘fellow tribesmen,’” KCNA quotes Kim Jong-un as saying.

He also noted that his country defined inter-Korean relations as "relations between the most hostile states," calling this "the unchanging principled position of our party and government," the KCNA report said.

The Republic of Korea is a country that Pyongyang cannot trust, the North Korean leader stated, noting that in recent years and at the beginning of this year, the Republic of Korea has committed serious provocations by violating North Korean airspace, referring to incidents involving South Korean drone intrusions.

Kim Jong-un stated that “our party and government will not cling one iota to dialogue and cooperation with the ROK, which over many years have proven to be unscientific and unrealistic.”

“Since the Republic of Kazakhstan cannot escape its geopolitical position where it borders us, abandoning all relations with us and leaving us alone is the only way for its secure existence,” he emphasized.

If the ROK's noisy actions affect the security situation of the DPRK, "we can take any action," the DPRK leader said in his report. -0-

The Fight Against Drugs: Global Progress and New Regional Challenges

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

February 26, 2026 Peace and security

International cooperation under the three drug control conventions has significantly reduced the harm caused by drug trafficking and protected public health worldwide, according to the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB)'s 2025 report, published Thursday.

INCB President Sevil Atasoy emphasized that the system works thanks to the continued support of states: “The conventions – a solid basis for joint action – have curbed drug trafficking and abuse and ensured access to essential medicines for 60 years.”

Global Accounting and Notification System

In its report, the committee notes that thanks to a global tracking and reporting system, the diversion of legally produced substances into illicit channels is kept to a minimum. In 2025, the INCB-created PEN Online platform prevented an attempt to smuggle three tons of fentanyl precursor, which could have led to the production of up to 3.3 tons of the dangerous narcotic.

The organization emphasizes that modern data exchange tools enable states to more quickly respond to trafficking attempts and prevent fraud in the international trade of controlled substances. Cooperation with the private sector—the chemical industry, logistics companies, and online platforms—is also increasingly important.

Access to pain medications

The report places special emphasis on access to painkillers. Despite adequate global stockpiles, many low- and middle-income countries continue to face shortages of morphine-containing medications and difficulties in procuring them. INCB calls on countries to remove barriers that prevent patients from receiving the treatment they need.

Regional trends

The report identifies key regional trends: rising drug use in Africa, declining drug-related deaths in North America, an expanding cocaine market in South America, record levels of illicit methamphetamine production in East Asia, and increased trafficking through Oceania.

In recent years, according to the report, the illicit cocaine trade in Western and Central Europe has increased sharply, as evidenced by the widespread availability of this substance and the overall volume of seizures. Synthetic drug production is expanding in Europe, and the proliferation of new psychoactive substances remains a serious problem.

Canada, Mexico, and the United States have further intensified their efforts to combat drug production and trafficking in recent years. Overdose rates have declined in both Canada (by 17 percent) and the United States (by 27 percent), but the authors of the document believe it is too early to assess whether this decline will become a sustainable trend. The non-medical use of opioids remains a public health concern for experts.

“Protecting people’s health from the dangers posed by drugs is our shared responsibility,” Sevil Atasoy said, calling on countries to further strengthen international cooperation.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From February 20th to 22nd, the F.G. Uglov Student Olympiad in Surgery was held at the Irkutsk State Medical University. For the third time, the competition brought together the best representatives of student medical science and their mentors from Krasnodar, Kazan, Moscow, Chita, St. Petersburg, and Irkutsk.

The Olympics were dedicated to the memory of Academician Fyodor Uglov, a distinguished surgeon from a small village in the Irkutsk region. He was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest practicing surgeon, with the longest career in the field—65 years (from 1929 to 1994). He performed one of his last operations on the eve of his centenary, in the presence of representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.

The competition participants completed eight tasks. The traditional challenges included "Quick Hands," "Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting," "Kidney Transplant," "Plastic Surgery," "Theoretical," and "Coloproctology." This year, an additional competition was added, dedicated to urology and the complex reconstructive procedure known as Studer's procedure.

To liven up the competition atmosphere, the children were given a pelmeni-making workshop. The choice of dish was no accident: according to Uglov's wife, pelmeni were the surgeon's favorite Siberian delicacy, always reminding him of his native land.

The RUDN University team, General Medicine program:

Daria Shelyakova, 4th year; Daryana Voikina, 4th year; Karina Amoeva, 5th year; Sofya Naumkina, 4th year; Mikhail Zhiryakov, 5th year; Elizaveta Pashkova, 4th year; Puria Zarei, 4th year; Leonid Banar, 6th year; Anna Davydova, 4th year.

The team's mentor was Pavel Dmitrievich Stefan, an oncologist, urologist, and assistant professor at the Accreditation and Simulation Center of the Medical Institute.

Winners in individual categories

Following the competition, RUDN students demonstrated high results in various competitions:

Leonid Banar and Daryana Voykina won the Kidney Transplantation competition; Anna Davydova and Sofia Naumkina won the Urology competition; Puria Zarei and Elizaveta Pashkova won the Coloproctology competition; Mikhail Zhiryakov and Daria Shelyakova won the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting competition; Karina Amoeva won the Plastic Surgery competition.

The entire team participated in the theoretical competition. The overall team result was third place.

Growth vector

Mikhail Zhiryakov explained that he was invited to the Olympiad as an assistant by Daria Shelyakova because he had already worked in operating rooms and was familiar with the properties of suture material. The competition they participated in as a pair involved coronary artery bypass grafting using a venous conduit from the great saphenous vein. Daria Shelyakova performed the procedure by cutting the existing conduit and suturing it layer by layer to the vessels. She used a prolene thread as thin as a human hair, and the hole in the aorta was created using a special instrument called an aortic punch.

"Third place is a great growth spurt and a joy for our colleagues! Irkutsk welcomed us warmly and warmly. The guipure trim on the local houses immediately caught our eye. Irkutsk has the most wonderful girls and the bravest men! On the first day, local poets performed for us and introduced us to the history of the Siberian capital. We drank coffee and met colleagues from other universities in our vast country," said Mikhail Zhiryakov.

"This was my first time at the Olympics as captain. All the guys prepared seriously and showed a worthy result. Perhaps things didn't go as we would have liked, but this gave us the opportunity to analyze all our mistakes and strive only for the future. These guys still have a lot ahead of them, I'm proud of them all, we were a team," says Daria Shelyakova.

Elizaveta Pashkova also noted that Irkutsk welcomed her very warmly: the temperature in the city was plus five degrees Celsius, and the sun was shining brightly. The participants only experienced the Siberian cold on the third day, when they went to Lake Baikal. She called this trip a true winter miracle, providing unforgettable impressions. Elizaveta participated in the proctology competition as an assistant. This was her first experience participating in the Olympiad.

"I'd like to express my gratitude to the experts—all highly skilled specialists and, at the same time, very warm-hearted people, true doctors! And also, thank you to the entire team who were there for me and supported me at every step. Thank you all for the opportunity to experience such unforgettable and touching emotions," says Elizaveta Pashkova.

Anna Davydova shared that it was a great honor for her to participate in the Uglov Olympiad. In the urology competition, she and her partner had to create a new bladder from a section of the ileum—a procedure required for bladder cancer patients.

"This experience exceeded all expectations; we managed to take third place. Irkutsk is a city with a soul, with many interesting cultural sites. With love from Siberia," says Anna Davydova.

The Olympiad organizers noted the high level of preparation of all participants and the importance of holding such events for exchanging experiences between medical students from across the country. The RUDN University team demonstrated its professionalism and ability to work under challenging competitive conditions, representing the university with distinction at this prestigious competition.

Students from the RUDN University Institute of Ecology have been selected for the 2026 Floating University.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Large-scale ocean research begins in the classrooms of the country's leading universities. Fourteen students from the RUDN University Institute of Ecology participated in the All-Russian scientific and educational program "Floating University." They passed a rigorous competitive selection process and received personal invitations to the Winter School, which took place from February 7 to 14.

The Floating University is a unique ecosystem that fosters a professional community of young ocean researchers. For RUDN students, the trip became a true springboard into science, allowing them to progress from theory to practice under the guidance of leading Russian scientists.

The participants from the Institute of Ecology spanned a wide range of years, from first-year students to graduate students, each finding their own research focus. They worked at leading institutes and laboratories in the Northern Capital, studying the ocean's role in the carbon cycle, molecular biology, and satellite oceanography.

Direction for a future career

Third-year student Diana Fortuna admitted that the decision to participate came spontaneously, but exceeded all expectations.

"I've known about the Floating University for a long time from our scientific community, GreenLab. I tried to enroll in my first year, but it didn't work out. This time, after a consultation, everything worked out. The program not only met but exceeded my expectations—I saw a completely new direction for my future career," says Diana Fortuna.

The girl particularly noted the lecture on toxic algae in Kamchatka, which opened up an unexplored area of research for her, and the work in the laboratory.

"We've mastered the full cycle of genetic research into bacteria capable of oxidizing plastic—from seeding to DNA sequencing. This is invaluable!" — Diana Fortuna.

Student Alexandra Erbaeva, a participant in the "Role of the Ocean in the Carbon Cycle" track at St. Petersburg State University, shared that she was fortunate to work at the O. Yu. Schmidt Laboratory at the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, where the school participants not only learned about research methods but also saw the equipment in action.

"But the most striking event was the satellite oceanography workshop. We used MATLAB to create real-world maps of chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Gulf of Finland based on data from 1970 to 2025. It's one thing to read about it in textbooks, but quite another to see for yourself how the ocean 'greens' in summer in satellite images," says Alexandra Erbaeva.

Alexandra was also impressed by the lecture on coastal protection issues, which used real-life examples to demonstrate how engineering errors can destroy the coastline.

"It made me think about the complexity and responsibility of our future profession," says Alexandra Erbaeva.

A new stage lies ahead

The mission of the Floating University is to attract talented young people to Earth sciences and build a community of professionals. Judging by the feedback from RUDN students, this mission is being successfully accomplished. The students not only immersed themselves in current oceanographic issues, from the carbon cycle to microplastics, but also established connections with future colleagues and mentors.

Our students' participation in the Floating University 2026 Winter School confirms the high level of training at the university and their commitment to solving fundamental and applied problems of our time. A new stage lies ahead for the students: processing the data they receive and, perhaps, participating in real marine expeditions, where they will apply their acquired knowledge in the open ocean.

The RUDN delegation at the Floating University-2026 Winter School included: Alina Nazmieva, Diana Fortuna, Ekaterina Benyuk, Daria Dobrova, Valeria Loseva, Anastasia Kireeva, Polina Logunova, Veronika Menshikova, Natalia Dianova, Daria Popova, Vadim Solastey, Galina Stogova, Valeria Topilina, and Alexandra Erbaeva.
