According to the Legalbet source, the "Citizens" scouts are negotiating with the representatives of midfielder Batrakov about his potential transfer.

This season, Batrakov has scored eight goals in seven matches for the "Railwaymen". According to Transfermarkt data, his market value is 12 million euros.

Former coach of Moscow’s Lokomotiv, Yuri Syomin, shared his opinion about Sobolev’s performance and effectiveness. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He highly rated the participation of Saint Petersburg Zenit’s central forward Aleksandr Sobolev in the match against Spartak. Sobolev came on as a substitute and managed to score an important goal. According to the expert, Sobolev’s goal, especially since it influenced the final result of the game, indicates that his performance was good. The match between Spartak and Zenit took place at the Lukoil Arena stadium and ended in a 2:2 draw. This season, Sobolev has appeared in four Premier League matches and scored two goals. The 28-year-old forward is important for his team, and his activity positively affects the team’s overall results. Sobolev’s performance and results are of great importance to the team, and his future as well as his contribution to the team are highly valued.

Veteran former player of the Zenit team Konstantin Lepyohin shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with the publication Euro-Football.Ru about the draw against Moscow Spartak and the situation at the Saint Petersburg club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, earning one point from the Moscow trip is a fortunate result for Zenit. It is noteworthy that the team played part of the match with a numerical disadvantage, came back from a losing position, and finished the game with a 2:2 score. Lepyohin said he was surprised by Zenit's slow-paced game. In his opinion, the team wants to gain more ball control, but this does not always happen. The players often make safe backward passes instead of quick and dangerous forward passes, which slows down attacks and does not lead to positional attacks. Also, they cannot keep possession of the ball for a long time, making it difficult to continue positional football. According to Lepyohin, Zenit currently needs to change their tactics. It is unclear whether the players are ready or willing to implement this. When strong opponents like Spartak apply pressure in all areas of the field, Zenit players struggle to get out of it. When long passes are made, no one can hold onto the ball. Lepyohin stated that if Zenit fails to win against Makhachkala Dinamo in the next home game, questions may arise about the trust in head coach Sergey Semak. He is currently under great pressure. Lepyohin emphasized that Semak has worked well with many foreign players, but some players have exhausted their potential. Therefore, it may be time to refresh and rotate the squad. Speaking about Spartak head coach Dejan Stanković's future, Lepyohin said his team showed a good performance in the game, but it is still too early to dismiss him. He stressed that a head coach change during the season poses a great risk and is not always beneficial. The club management should maintain a stable and emotion-free position. The interview was conducted by Elena Grigoryevskaya.

The Transfermarkt website values the player's market price at 7.5 million euros. Based on this information, Mallorca is preparing to add Kumbulla to their squad.

US President Donald Trump's recent statement has attracted significant attention in international political circles. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to information distributed by the Axios agency, during a phone conversation with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on August 22, Trump expressed his intention to hold a trilateral summit involving Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskiy. According to sources, in a phone call following the summit, Trump informed European leaders of his plan to invite Putin and Zelenskiy to a meeting simultaneously next Friday. Additionally, on August 18, the White House planned to hold a meeting with Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and representatives of the European Union. This meeting is regarded as an important stage in the peace negotiation process. In an interview with Fox News about the negotiations with Putin, Trump emphasized that the parties are "close to an agreement." In his opinion, the main decision now rests with Ukraine and this situation "depends on President Zelenskiy's position." In conclusion, the trilateral summit expected to be held in August will remain one of the most important political events attracting the attention of the international community. The issue of an agreement between Ukraine and Russia is expected to be discussed as one of the most pressing topics in the coming days.

On August 15, a special lunch ceremony in honor of Vladimir Putin was planned to be held after the meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This information became known after documents belonging to the U.S. State Department protocol service were found in a hotel in Anchorage. The documents obtained by NPR radio contained instructions for protocol service staff, their phone numbers, the arrangement of delegations, and rules for pronouncing Russian names. For example, the name Putin was indicated to be pronounced as “POO-tihn,” Lavrov as “Laav-rof,” and Ushakov as “Oo-sha-kov.” The documents were found by an unknown client at the Captain Cook hotel in Anchorage and submitted to the NPR editorial office. They were published at 9:00 local time, about two hours before the presidents' meeting. The documents show that preparations for the meeting were carried out hastily. Initially, the meeting was planned in a “two-by-two” format, with Putin and his aide Yuri Ushakov representing Russia, and President Donald Trump and his representative Steve Whitkoff representing the U.S. Later, both sides changed to three participants each. Sergey Lavrov joined from the Russian side, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined the U.S. delegation. According to the protocol, a lunch ceremony “in honor of His Excellency the President of the Russian Federation” was planned after the meeting. Six people from each side were supposed to participate. The menu included green salad with vinaigrette, bread with rosemary and lemon butter, main dishes of pepper sauce or halibut fish fillet, and mashed potatoes as a side dish. For dessert, crème brûlée with ice cream was offered. Also, Trump was planned to present Putin with a white-headed eagle statue as a symbol of the United States. However, in the end, this lunch ceremony did not take place. This information sparked wide discussions in the West. Some politicians and opposition figures criticized the symbolic “respect” shown by American soldiers laying out a carpet in front of the Russian president's plane. Critics argued that the U.S. president, accepted as the leader of the free world, receiving an autocrat accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court as an honored guest is a serious political symbol. Moreover, the disclosure of the documents showed insufficient attention to information security in the Trump administration. According to NPR, in March of this year, a journalist was accidentally added to a chat where high-level U.S. officials were discussing military plans in Yemen. In conclusion, this incident surrounding the negotiations in Anchorage is causing significant discussions not only politically but also symbolically and from the perspective of information security.

Russian State Duma deputy Vitaliy Milonov commented on Aleksandr Sobolev, the forward of the Zenit team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. On Saturday evening, Sobolev scored a goal in the Russian Premier League match against Spartak. The game ended in a 2-2 draw. According to Milonov, Sobolev is a true Russian athlete who plays well and does not lose himself under pressure. He also criticized those who are making noise against Sobolev, saying they do not know how to run or score goals, they only shout. The deputy emphasized that national football players do not separate themselves from the team in any situation. It should be noted that after the match against Spartak, Sobolev was criticized by the fans of the Moscow club. The footballer was insulted and money was shown to him. Aleksandr Sobolev transferred from Spartak to Zenit last summer. Currently, Zenit is in ninth place in the Russian championship standings.

He said that at the end of the last season he underwent surgery to eliminate a problem that had been bothering him for a long time in his heel. He emphasized that he currently feels good. During the summer, he did not stay in one place but traveled to many interesting places to improve his physical condition. At the same time, he continued the recovery process. Timber revealed that he visited Curaçao, where his mother was born, and Turkey, as well as places like Miami and Marbella. In addition, he also spent time in Asia.

The Munich team won 2:1 and claimed the trophy. Experts from the Transfermarkt portal estimate Nik Voltemade at 30 million euros. However, Stuttgart club wants to set the player's price at a much higher level. Currently, negotiations between the parties are ongoing and additional time is needed to reach an agreement. The player's transfer is considered important for the team.

Footballer Carlos Baleba is likely to stay at Brighton in the summer. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The club management is against selling the midfielder to Manchester United. According to IndyKaila News, the Cameroonian player is very upset by this decision. Manchester United has held several negotiations with Brighton to buy the player.

His main goal is to join a top-level team and further develop his career. The disagreements between the club and the player have not yet been resolved.

Vladimir Slishkovich, head coach of the Orenburg team, gave an interview to Match TV before the game against Akron. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the team secured their first win of the season this week, although it was in the Cup. This victory was very important psychologically and made the team more confident. Slishkovich emphasized that he was especially pleased with their performance in the second half of the match against Akhmat. Now it is necessary to play at that level throughout the entire game.

Many new players have appeared in the team and they are still trying to find their style of play. The head coach believes that continuing on this path is the right decision. New player Mufi Fahd is making his debut today. He will play in his position. The coach said that he decides which position the player will play in and never asks the player about it. Mufi Fahd has great experience and adapts quickly. The coach hopes that today he will show why he was signed for the team.

According to former footballer Vladimir Granat, the "Spartak" team should not dismiss head coach Dejan Stankovich anytime soon. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In his opinion, changing the coach now would not be beneficial for the team. Last Saturday, the capital club drew 2-2 with "Zenit". According to Granat, this match could serve as a catalyst for positive changes for "Spartak". It is currently difficult to assess the situation, but it is necessary not to replace the coach. The Serbian specialist has been serving as "Spartak"'s head coach since last summer. Last season, the team finished fourth in the Russian Premier League. This season, the "red-whites" are in 12th place with five points. Thus, changing the coach in the current state of the team is not advisable. The team still has many opportunities ahead, and results are expected to improve over time.

Today, September 7, a rare astronomical event — a total lunar eclipse — will occur in the sky over Uzbekistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, this event will be clearly visible from all regions of our country. During the lunar eclipse, the surface of the Moon will be completely in the Earth's shadow. The total phase of the eclipse will last 1 hour and 22 minutes, but the entire process will take more than 5 hours. This event will be observed not only in Uzbekistan but also in several countries across Eurasia and Africa. Specifically, the total lunar eclipse can be seen in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Arab countries, as well as Pakistan, India, China, South and North Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos. The central regions of Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and some parts of Australia will also experience the Moon fully in shadow. Europe, the Philippines, Hawaii, Fiji, and New Zealand will observe a partial eclipse.

The Russian Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA) has completed the necessary studies of a new mRNA vaccine against cancer and submitted the documents for its registration. This was reported by Upl.uz. This paves the way for the clinical use of the vaccine. The head of the agency, Veronika Skvortsova, recently provided this information in an interview with the publication "Izvestiya". According to her, the authorization documents for the use of the drug named "Enteromix" were submitted to the Ministry of Health at the end of summer 2025. This process was carried out after extensive preclinical trials, which confirmed the safety and efficacy of the drug. The development of this vaccine is part of a broader initiative to create personalized medicines. The drug, based on mRNA technology, aims to create a vaccine tailored to the characteristics of tumor cells unique to each patient. Studies were conducted on animals, particularly models suffering from intestinal adenocarcinoma. The results showed that the drug not only slowed tumor growth but also reduced its size by 75-80 percent. As Veronika Skvortsova emphasized, three years of research on this vaccine have been successfully completed, and its application in patients is planned in the near future following regulatory approval. Initially, patients with colorectal cancer will undergo this therapy, which will later be adapted for the most aggressive brain tumors such as melanoma and glioblastoma. Alongside advances in the field of cancer diseases, Russia is also achieving significant success in neuroprosthetics. Veronika Skvortsova noted that work is underway to make prosthetics sensitive by implanting microelectrodes into nerve endings. This direction is being developed through collaboration between the FMBA's Brain and Neurotechnology Center and the company "Motorika". This center has gained the status of a scientific center worldwide and has been provided with the appropriate grant. The process consists of several stages, ranging from eliminating phantom pain to preparing prosthetics using virtual reality and making them sensitive. To ensure wider access to these technologies, a network of specialized medical institutions is planned to be established. By 2027, it is planned to open ten new prosthetics and rehabilitation centers in various regions of the country, including Primorsky Krai. These centers will be based on the model of the first center operating in the village of Goluboye near Moscow. The mRNA technology underlying the new Russian vaccine gained worldwide recognition during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its potential for treating cancer has been studied by scientists for decades. In the mid-1990s, the first successful experiments were conducted in mice to induce an immune response against cancer cells using mRNA.

Apple presented its new flagship smartphones, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, in September. This was reported by Zamin.uz. These devices have been significantly updated not only in terms of internal capabilities but also in appearance. One of the biggest changes is that the rear camera module now spans the entire width of the body. The sensor layout remains the same as before, but the LiDAR and flash are now located on opposite sides. Apple has abandoned the titanium body and returned to an aluminum body.
