According to the draft state program planned for 2025, a special "Carbon Collection" system is set to be implemented for industrial products with a high carbon footprint (cement, coal, compressed gas, etc.). The funds collected through this collection will be directed towards addressing ecological problems in the regions, as reported by the kun.uz website. What is the "Carbon Collection" and who will it apply to? This system aims to establish compensation payments for companies that produce and sell products with a high carbon footprint. This collection is considered one of the measures aimed at increasing ecological sustainability and protecting the environment. Plan to expand local production The program draft will develop measures to analyze imported products and localize them. It also envisions the expansion of production of industrial products that replace imports by large enterprises. The following will be implemented: * Analyzing products with high import volumes and establishing measures for their localization. * Developing investment projects for the production of substitute products and attracting investors. * Establishing internal production by large enterprises to develop the "driver" sectors of the industry. The state aims to expand local production, reduce dependency on imports, and ensure ecological sustainability through this plan that combines ecology and economic development.

Abduqodir Husanov's transfer to "Manchester City" is significant not only for its sporting achievement but also for its financial benefit. This transfer, valued at 50 million euros (40 million base amount and 10 million bonuses), is expected to bring additional income to the player. Factors affecting the player's income: Share and bonuses in the contract: In many cases, players have the right to receive 5-10% of the transfer fee. If Husanov has signed such a contract, his income could be around 2-5 million euros. This amount depends on the special agreements between the player and the club. Loyalty bonuses: If Husanov has maintained good relations with the "Lans" club and has not caused issues during the transfer process, he may receive an additional bonus for loyalty. This bonus usually constitutes 2-5% of the transfer value, which could bring the player an extra 1-2 million euros. Agency contract: The player's agent may negotiate favorable terms for his benefit. Experienced agents create opportunities for their clients to receive a higher share. Husanov's agent is also expected to play an active role in this process. Real-life examples: Pogba's transfer (2016): When he moved from "Juventus" to "Manchester United," Pogba received significant bonuses from the transfer, and his agent also earned a huge commission. Neymar's transfer (2017): In the 222 million euro transfer, Neymar and his family received a large amount of "transfer bonuses." The income derived from Husanov's transfer is expected to be substantial, depending on his contract and agreements with his agent. This income will contribute to the player's future financial stability.

A massive forest fire that broke out near Los Angeles, California, is being observed from space. Satellite images clearly show the area of the fire and the large plume of smoke. The smoke has spread over a wide area due to the wind, affecting Los Angeles and surrounding rural areas. The fire has engulfed over 12,000 acres, leading to the evacuation of more than a thousand residents to safe areas. Firefighting crews and special services are working vigorously to bring the fire under control. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning due to strong winds and low humidity levels. This fire could further worsen the ecological situation in California and cause serious damage to the local economy.

News surrounding the transfer of 20-year-old central defender Abduqodir Husanov is increasing. Various media outlets continue to report on the Uzbek footballer, who is in the spotlight of more than ten clubs in Europe. Currently, Husanov is not with “Lans” and is not preparing for the upcoming matches. It has been reported that he is very close to moving to “Manchester City.” The club's head coach, Josep Guardiola, supports Husanov's transfer and has high hopes for his talent. This transfer is expected to be the largest deal in the history of Uzbek football. “Manchester City” is ready to allocate 50 million euros for the young player. This figure is significantly higher than the previous record — Eldor Shomurodov's transfer to “Roma” for 19.6 million euros. Husanov's agents, Football Group LLC, confirmed in an interview with Russia's “Match TV” that negotiations regarding the transfer are ongoing. They stated: — Yes, this is a fact. Negotiations are continuing, but a contract has not yet been signed. Husanov is currently in the process of obtaining a work visa for the United Kingdom.

The scientists at the National Institute of Health in Japan have found that peaches possess properties that slow down the aging process and extend lifespan. The research results were published in the Asian Journal of Longevity Research (AJLR). “Peaches are a true treasure of antioxidants. This fruit, rich in soluble and insoluble fibers, creates a strong protective shield for the body,” said Dr. Kenzo Hashimoto, a specialist in gerontology and dietetics at Tokyo Medical University. According to the research, antioxidants such as beta-carotene and polyphenols in peaches have the ability to selectively eliminate cancer cells without harming healthy cells. The effectiveness is particularly high when consuming well-ripened peaches. Based on experiments conducted on model organisms, it has been concluded that peach extract can extend lifespan by up to 23 percent. Scientists believe that regular consumption of peaches could become the cheapest and simplest way to enhance health and prolong life.

Famous footballer Edgar Davids, who played for Juventus in past years, learned that his acquaintance Nabila Habibi committed theft. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The ad.nl portal provided information about this. According to the publication, Davids found out several years later that his painting collection had been stolen. He had entrusted the collection to a trusted person. For a while, Habibi also lived in his house. While Davids believed the collection was kept in a safe place, Habibi stole 37 paintings, pawned them at various pawnshops, and received approximately 30 thousand euros. In 2017, when Habibi was unable to repay her debts, the pawnshops gained the right to sell the paintings. One of the buyers saw Davids' name on the back of a painting and contacted him through social networks. After that, Davids filed a lawsuit. Habibi admitted to the theft. Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.

The general secondary education system in Uzbekistan is undergoing fundamental changes. This was reported by Upl.uz. The country has officially begun implementing a 12-year education model. This was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. In the near future, a normative legal document confirming these innovations is expected to be signed. This decision was made as part of a comprehensive program to reform the education sector. The program was presented to the president on September 8 and envisions a systematic renewal of all stages from preschool to higher education. The transition to 12-year education is being carried out to align with international experience. The results of the PISA study conducted in 2022 showed that in 85% of countries considered leaders in education, the number of school years is exactly 12. The introduction of the new model will allow adapting curricula to international standards and also enable students to be well-prepared for subsequent stages of education and vocational training. The updated system structure will be as follows: the first year is designated as a preparatory stage for 6-year-old children, which is considered part of primary education. Primary education will last a total of 5 years, including 1 year of preparation and 4 years of primary school. The next stage is basic general secondary education, covering grades 5 to 9 and lasting 5 years. The final 2 years constitute complete general secondary education, which will be conducted in schools, academic lyceums, specialized military schools, or technical colleges. To ensure a smooth transition process and create the necessary infrastructure, about 3,600 new schools will be built and more than a thousand state kindergartens will be opened. It is precisely in these institutions that the updated preparatory program for the youngest students will be piloted. An interesting point is that information about the transition to 12-year education had been actively discussed on social networks since 2023. However, at that time, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education officially denied these claims, emphasizing that the 11-year education system was in effect. The current decision shows that approaches at the state level have been reconsidered and there is political will to implement large-scale reforms. In the history of independent Uzbekistan, a 12-year education system has existed before. From 2010 to 2017, education was organized based on a 9+3 scheme, where students who completed grade 9 were required to continue their studies at vocational colleges and academic lyceums.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
