Syria's Latakia: Three major blazes controlled
Shafaq News – Latakia Fire crews in Syria's Latakia province have contained three major wildfires, local officials confirmed on Wednesday, as blazes continued for a seventh straight day across the northern countryside. Latakia Governor Mohammad Othman stated that more than 80 Syrian Civil Defense teams, supported by international responders and aircraft from Turkiye, Jordan, and Lebanon, remain active in the field. The fires have scorched over 14,000 hectares, Othman noted, adding that rough terrain, intense heat, and shifting winds have hampered operations, while landmines and unexploded ordnance from past conflicts continue to endanger crews and block access routes. 'Flames are still active near Sheikh Hassan village,' he said. 'We've moved engines and teams forward to stop the spread into mountainous zones.' Meanwhile, Syrian Civil Defense Director Munir Mustafa described the situation as 'improving,' though several zones still need cooling to prevent flare-ups. He reported that the fire swept through forested areas in Wadi, Mount Zahia, and the al-Farnlaq reserve as winds intensified Tuesday night. Despite the conditions, responders protected six villages after preemptive evacuations. Authorities evacuated more than 25 families from al-Ghassaniyeh in the Kessab subdistrict as flames advanced on residential areas.

Libyan teen detained in Istanbul, his family says embassy has yet to contact him
The family of 17-year-old Libyan national Othman Al-Zalouk announced that their son has been held at a police station in Istanbul, Turkey, for several days, criticizing the Libyan Embassy in Ankara and the Consulate General in Istanbul for failing to contact him so far. In a widely shared social media post, the family said that Othman was detained following a complaint filed by a Turkish woman who accused him of photographing her son without permission at a shopping mall in Istanbul, despite the absence of any evidence supporting the allegation. The family added that Othman had traveled to Turkey for a short vacation after completing his exams and was taking souvenir photos at the 'Vadistanbul' shopping mall when a woman confronted him and claimed he had taken pictures of her son—an accusation he immediately denied. He handed over his phone to the woman, which was found to contain no photos or videos of her son. However, upon learning he was not a Turkish citizen, the woman insisted on calling mall security. Othman was taken to a police station, where Turkish authorities conducted an official search of his phone and found no incriminating material. Nevertheless, he remains in custody without any formal charges, raising concerns about legal procedures—especially given that he is considered a minor under both Libyan and international law. The family has called on Libyan authorities to urgently intervene and provide legal assistance to their son, stressing that the incident highlights the urgent need to strengthen legal protection for Libyan citizens abroad. As of now, the Libyan Embassy in Turkey has not issued an official statement, and there is no available information from Turkish authorities on whether formal charges will be filed or if the youth will be released.

QF's Qatar Academy Msheireb launches environmental awareness drive
Tribune News Network Doha Qatar Academy Msheireb, a part of Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE), has partnered with Msheireb Properties to launch the 'Liquid 3' Tree Project, that empowers students to apply academic knowledge to real-world environmental solutions and reinforces the school's commitment to sustainability and innovation. The 'Liquid 3' Tree Project provides a multidimensional learning experience that combines environmental science, technology, and community engagement. It enhances students' critical thinking, research, and teamwork skills, while strengthening their awareness of their role as change-makers in their communities. Lina Othman, innovation and creativity teacher at Qatar Academy Msheireb (QAM), said: 'At QAM, we believe that sustainability should go beyond theory, it should be a lived experience for our students. The 'Liquid 3' Tree Project brings this vision to life by allowing students to transform their scientific research into practical solutions that positively impact their environment.' Since the launch of the project, students have been engaged in every phase, from setting environmental criteria and analysing data, to selecting the ideal location for the 'Liquid 3' Tree on campus. Their research included monitoring sunlight exposure, pedestrian and vehicle flow, and visual signs of pollution, such as soot buildup and leaf discolouration. Speaking about the project's impact on students, Othman said, 'We've seen remarkable growth in students' environmental awareness. They now better understand how urban design influences air quality and ecosystem health. 'Beyond that, many students expressed a strong sense of pride and empowerment in seeing their research directly contribute to improving their school environment.' Othman noted that the project also fostered continuous learning, with an advanced device for measuring carbon dioxide levels installed next to the 'Liquid 3' Tree. This real-time air quality data supports student-led sustainability projects and community awareness initiatives within the Academy. 'Through these experiences, we are transforming students from passive learners into active contributors. Today, they are not just science students, they have become sustainability ambassadors within and beyond the school community,' Othman explained. 'They have taken the initiative to invite students from other schools to learn about the project, raise awareness about air pollution, and inspire further environmental initiatives.' She added that the project has helped students develop a range of essential skills, including research and analytical skills. She said, 'Projects like this foster a curious and purposeful mindset among students. Our goal is to graduate a generation of environmentally conscious global citizens who can actively contribute to advancing sustainability goals in line with Qatar National Vision 2030. 'When students see their ideas and research driving tangible change in their surroundings, it strengthens their belief in their ability to shape the future, and that is at the heart of our mission at QAM.'
