Authorities are urged to revoke the approval of these defunct institutes and update the official records to reflect the true state of the education sector in the country.(photo/prothomalo)

Russia opened a probe into “financing terrorism” implicating Western countries, alleging that funds received by US firms in Ukraine, including one that employed President Biden’s son Hunter, were used for “terrorism acts” in Russia. This comes as Moscow continues blaming the West and Ukraine for a deadly attack claimed by ISIS. The Investigative Committee cited Burisma, the company Hunter Biden worked for, saying it aims to establish links between the perpetrators and “foreign curators.” The White House dismissed the probe as “nonsense,” stating Russia knows ISIS committed the attack.

Campbell said the U.S. had warned China about intelligence indicating Russia’s planned invasion of Ukraine.(photo/x)
The United States has agreed to sell $138 million worth of military equipment to Ukraine, including urgent upgrades to its HAWK missile defense systems. This comes as a larger $60 billion aid package remains stalled in the U.S. Congress. Ukraine’s air defenses have been vastly improved with U.S. equipment, but the delay in approving the larger aid package has forced Ukrainian soldiers to ration ammunition. The sale aims to enhance Ukraine’s ability to defend against Russian aerial attacks, as Moscow has intensified strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure.(photo/afp)

The study found that after four months on a ketogenic diet, participants with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder experienced significant improvements in their mental health, as well as reductions in weight, insulin resistance, and other metabolic markers. The findings indicate that nutritional interventions could be an effective complementary approach to treating severe mental illnesses and their associated metabolic complications.(photo/pexels)
A study from the University of Eastern Finland has found that a healthier diet, lower red meat consumption, more reading, and participation in organized sports can improve children’s reasoning skills in the first two years of school. The research showed that children with better overall diet quality, higher intake of low-fat dairy, and less screen time performed better on reasoning tests. While a lifestyle intervention did not impact cognitive development, the findings suggest that promoting healthy eating habits and encouraging reading and organized physical activity can support the development of reasoning abilities in children.(photo/pexels)
