According to a report by the Daily Mail, Tottenham will make another attempt to purchase Savio soon. The 21-year-old player is unable to secure his place in the starting lineup at Manchester City. For this reason, he understands well that moving to the London team could allow him to become a regular starter. According to reports, Savio has played a total of 48 official matches for Manchester City. So far, he has scored 3 goals and provided 13 assists to his teammates. Tottenham aims to strengthen their attacking line by transferring Savio.

“Axmat” football team head coach Stanislav Cherchesov expressed his thoughts to the “Match TV” channel after the match against “Orenburg.” This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The coach noted that the team performed well in the first half, while the introduction of new players in the second half changed the dynamics of the game a bit. According to Cherchesov, it was planned to substitute two players at the same time in the second half, and this was carried out. However, in the second half, “Orenburg” took the initiative and managed to score a goal. After that, “Axmat” returned to the game, strengthening their attack with the substituted players and scored a good goal. But at the end of the game, they conceded another goal. The coach emphasized that this is football and such results are natural. He congratulated “Orenburg” on their victory and stated that his team would continue to prepare for the next matches. When asked about the defensive mistakes, Cherchesov mentioned that they would analyze this issue within the team, noted that “Orenburg” organized a good attack, and that a deep analysis of the game was planned. He encouraged his players, emphasizing that necessary conclusions would be drawn from each game.

According to Sergey Silkin, the former coach of the "Dinamo" team, the "Akhmat" club, representing the city of Grozny, is not capable of competing for the top spots in the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He believes that the victory over "Zenit" under the new head coach Stanislav Cherchesov was more of an emotional boost for the "Akhmat" team. Such situations often arise when a coach is changed, as players try to prove themselves in front of the new coach. Silkin stated: "I think Cherchesov cannot compete for top positions with "Akhmat". The victory over "Zenit" is a result of the team's emotional uplift. This situation often occurs when the coach changes," he emphasized. For reference, in the first game under Cherchesov's leadership, "Akhmat" defeated St. Petersburg's "Zenit" 1-0. After four rounds, the "Akhmat" team is in 12th place in the tournament table with three points. Therefore, the expert notes that high results should not be expected from the club.

The World Bank has published a report on "Accelerating Growth through Entrepreneurship, Technology, and Innovation" regarding the countries of Europe and Central Asia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The report provides forecasts on when developing countries in the region will join the ranks of high-income countries based on per capita income. According to the World Bank's calculations, the threshold for high-income countries in 2023 is set at an annual income of $14,005 per capita. The report states that Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are expected to reach this threshold in approximately 40 years. Kyrgyzstan, on the other hand, may achieve a high-income level in 70 years. Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, however, are projected to reach this level in over 100 years. Expert Mirkomil Kholboev believes that these forecasts are based on the average growth rates of the last decade. He also took into account the economic downturn during the pandemic and the deep recessions in some countries. According to Kholboev's recalculations, considering the recovery rates post-pandemic, Kazakhstan could reach high-income status in 2026, Turkmenistan in 2034, Tajikistan in 2037, and Uzbekistan in 2042. In 2024, Uzbekistan's total income reached 896.3 trillion soums. This represents an 18.5% nominal growth, and an 8.1% real growth when accounting for inflation. Per capita total income increased from 20 million soums to 24.1 million soums. Assuming an average dollar exchange rate of 12,500 soums, this translates to an annual income of between $1,600 and $1,900. The World Bank report notes that Uzbekistan's economy is expected to grow by approximately 5.9% in 2025 and 2026. Additionally, in 2024, personal remittances from Russia to Uzbekistan are projected to increase by 30%, approaching $15 billion. Remittances are a significant part of GDP. For example, in Tajikistan, this figure is close to 40%, in Kyrgyzstan it is over 20%, and in Kosovo, it is around 18%. The average figure is 7%. Without remittances, the poverty rate in Uzbekistan could have been twice as high. Moreover, Uzbekistan ranks among the top ten countries in the world in terms of remittance inflows. In 2024, the budget deficit was 3.3% of GDP, with the reduction of energy subsidies playing a significant role. In conclusion, according to the World Bank report, Uzbekistan needs to implement long-term and consistent economic reforms to join the ranks of high-income countries. Maintaining high levels of economic growth, expanding export potential, and investing in innovation are crucial factors in enhancing the country's competitiveness (source: World Bank reports, 2023).

Andrey Chervichenko previously served as the president of the Moscow Spartak football club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He commented on the reports that the club had made a job offer to English coach Steven Gerrard. Chervichenko stated that these claims are not true. According to him, such information is baseless and false. It has been reported that Steven Gerrard's agents have already declined this offer. They cited the current geopolitical situation as the main reason. Steven Gerrard played as a footballer for England's Liverpool club and the national team. Later, he began his coaching career. Gerrard has worked as a coach for Liverpool's youth team, England's Aston Villa club, Scotland's Rangers team (where he won a championship once), and Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittifaq club.

He emphasized that they prepare seriously for each match. According to him, regardless of whether it is a championship or cup game, the team always takes the field to win.

Some players have not been able to take the field for a long time. Therefore, today's game will not be easy for either team. He stated that there is no advantage for either team in this match; everything will be decided by the game on the field. Furthermore, due to the absence of a traditional striker in today's game, attacking players will be given more opportunities.

The meeting scheduled for August 15 between the leaders of Russia and the United States is considered very important not only in the political arena but also for the global financial system. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The outcomes of this meeting are expected to influence oil, gold, exchange rates, and stock prices. Experts are presenting their forecasts regarding these four financial instruments. In the oil market, in recent weeks, the price of Brent crude oil has fluctuated based on investor sentiments regarding statements made by Donald Trump and secondary sanctions against countries like India and China that purchase Russian oil. At the end of July, the oil price exceeded $73 per barrel, but as information about the presidential summit increased, prices fell. On August 12, the price of Brent oil on the London exchange dropped to $66 per barrel. There is a possibility of a short-term rally in prices due to the potential easing of pressure on Russian oil, but the risk of a decline remains due to the potential increase in supply in the medium term. The price of gold reached a historic record of $3534.1 per ounce on August 8. This is related to the US imposing tariffs on gold imports. In 2025, the price of gold is expected to stabilize around $3200–3300 per ounce due to stable purchases by central banks and global uncertainties. Gold will continue to hold its significance as a protective asset for investors, with ETF flows and changes in physical demand also taken into account. In the currency market, the easing of sanctions against Russia could lead to the strengthening of the ruble. However, there is also a possibility of increased capital outflow, especially if external accounts are restored. This situation may increase fluctuations in the ruble exchange rate in the short term. Therefore, it is crucial to manage risks, hedge, and ensure liquidity reserves. In the stock market, the lifting of sanctions against Russia is not easy, as many restrictions are imposed by the European Union. Nevertheless, international companies in the energy and logistics sectors may benefit from changes in their stock directions. The restoration of supply-demand chains, as well as investments returning to insurance and transportation sectors, may support prices. Emotions will run high in the news before and after the summit. Decisions should only be made based on concrete information. In the oil market, supply and inventory reports, central bank purchases and tariff policies in gold, the rhetoric of sanctions in currencies, and capital movements, as well as earnings forecasts by sector in stocks will be key factors. Most importantly, it is essential to diversify risks considering various scenarios. Regardless of the outcome of the meeting, markets will be very sensitive to short-term changes. Therefore, a strategic approach and long-term plans are always the key to success

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.

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.
