A new simplified VAR system is being tested in women's football in Spain. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This system is called Football Video Support and performs similar functions to the previous VAR system. However, in this system, the initiative to review video replays is carried out not by the referee, but by the team coaches. That is, coaches can appeal to video assistance in certain situations. Nevertheless, the final decisions are made by the main referee on the field. The new system operates based on four main principles. These are: determining whether the ball crossed the goal line or not, awarding or denying a penalty, determining whether a player is offside, and assessing the level of a player's foul (yellow or red card). Additionally, each team is granted the right to use video assistance only twice during the match, and once more in extra time. This prevents repeated reviews from occurring at every minute of the game and ensures that the match proceeds in an orderly manner. This approach serves to make the game transparent and fair.

Nicolas Jackson is mentioned as another player who could move from “Chelsea” to “Arsenal”. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In recent years, “Arsenal” has added many players from “Chelsea” to its ranks. However, in this case, with Jackson, it seems that such a situation will not be repeated.

Currently, the main contenders for Jackson are “Newcastle” and “Aston Villa”. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the transfer value of the 24-year-old forward is estimated at 50 million euros. His current contract is set to last until 2033. It is worth noting that this summer “Arsenal” has already purchased another forward – Viktor Dyokeresh from Lisbon's “Sporting” club. For this reason, the club is not actively pursuing the purchase of Jackson. “Arsenal” continues to strengthen its squad with new players, but Jackson's potential transfer is not currently on the agenda.

Currently, head coach Xabi Alonso is looking to rely on the duo of Mbappe and Vinicius in the attacking line. For this reason, Rodriyo may not get regular playing time. However, the player himself does not want to leave the club. In most cases, in such a situation, it would be appropriate to loan the player to another team, but Real is not considering such a decision. The Madrid club has taken a firm stance on this matter. According to some sources, England's Arsenal was ready to add the 24-year-old player to their squad. Nevertheless, Real has decided not to loan Rodriyo out.

The US officials have once again clearly stated their position in the international political arena. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Vice President James Vance openly stated during a meeting in London with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy that there is no plan to recognize Palestine as an independent state. According to him, Washington is currently not showing any initiative in this regard and is focusing primarily on eliminating the radical HAMAS group. In his statement, Vance said: “I personally do not understand the practical aspect of recognizing the state of Palestine, as there is no real and fully authorized government there.” In his opinion, President Donald Trump has clearly defined American objectives regarding the situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The main task is to prevent HAMAS from attacking innocent Israeli civilians. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to completely eliminate the radical movement. Vance also paid special attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. President Trump emphasized that he is deeply affected by the severe situation in the region. For this reason, Washington is ready to take decisive measures to resolve this issue. In July, Trump assessed the negotiations between HAMAS and Israel as unsatisfactory. According to him, the only way to resolve the crisis quickly and effectively is for HAMAS to fully surrender. Additionally, the Israeli government approved plans to expand ground military operations in the Gaza Strip. This decision was made as a result of abandoning negotiations for the release of Israelis held hostage by HAMAS. At the same time, three countries of the "Big Seven" group — France, the United Kingdom, and Canada — expressed their intention to recognize Palestine as an independent state. This process may be formalized at the UN General Assembly expected to take place in September. Currently, 147 countries in the world recognize Palestine as a state. In 2024, the USA vetoed Palestine's full membership in the UN. Since this year, ten countries, including Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Armenia, have supported this decision. This complex situation in international politics is becoming a significant test not only for the Middle East region but also for global diplomacy.

Famous former footballer Eden Hazard mentioned the strongest opponent he faced during his career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Belgian national team member Eden Hazard specifically highlighted England's “Manchester City” as the strongest rival in his interview. He recalled his matches against this team, emphasizing that “Manchester City” under the leadership of Josep Guardiola played at a very high level from 2017 to 2019. According to Hazard, it was very difficult to face “Manchester City” during that time, as the opponent hardly gave the ball to others and there was no opportunity to gain possession during the game. Hazard noted that he never played against “Barcelona” led by Lionel Messi, but acknowledged that “Manchester City” under Guardiola was one of the strongest teams. It is worth mentioning that Eden Hazard played for London’s “Chelsea” from 2012 to 2019. After that, he moved to Madrid’s “Real” but was unable to fully showcase himself due to injuries. Hazard retired from professional football in 2023.

Florian Wirtz is 22 years old and has played 197 matches in all competitions for Bayer, scoring 57 goals and providing 65 assists during that time. Arne Slot said at the press conference: "Wirtz is used to playing a game every three to four days in the German championship. However, after two months, we will need to ask him: Does the intensity of the English Premier League matches match or differ from that of the Bundesliga?" The coach emphasized that the new player will need time to adapt to the new environment. In his opinion, Wirtz's experience and performance could be beneficial for "Liverpool." The club's management and fans expect high results from him. In the new season, Florian Wirtz is expected to become one of the key players of the team.

New events are unfolding in the European political arena. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the conflict in Ukraine may soon enter a new phase. He emphasized that while the war has not fully ended, it is likely to freeze sooner than expected. Tusk recently stated that he had been in contact with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He mentioned that although Zelensky is approaching the situation cautiously, he remains hopeful and optimistic. The Polish leader also highlighted that Ukraine is interested in actively cooperating with European countries in future agreements. Zelensky provided information about his conversation with Tusk on his social media, but did not disclose the key aspects of the discussion. This week, the Ukrainian president communicated via phone with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and other European leaders. At the end of the conversations, officials issued brief statements confirming continued support for Ukraine. Attention is also being drawn to Donald Trump's mediation efforts. The European Union's Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, Anitta Hipper, specifically noted that Russia does not genuinely want peace. On August 6, Donald Trump spoke with European leaders and provided information about the results of his special envoy Stephen Witkoff's visit to Moscow. The Washington Post, citing sources, reported that the preparation for a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is causing concern in Europe. According to sources, while determination and discipline are expected from Trump, he is not attempting to exert pressure on the Russian leader. A high-ranking official in Ukraine expressed hope anonymously that if a ceasefire is achieved in the air attacks, even if there is no peace on land as a preliminary step, it would be a significant achievement. However, he acknowledged that the agreements are merely tactics employed by Russia to placate Trump. The Washington Post source emphasized that trust between the parties has completely eroded. Currently, there is both concern and hope among European and Ukrainian leaders. That is, how the situation in Ukraine will change in the coming weeks and how the positions of Europe and the USA will shape is at the center of attention. The proximity of a real solution to the issue of freezing the conflict will become clear in the coming days.

"Barcelona" football club midfielder Lamin Yamal addressed his teammate Inyigo Martines. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

There are changes in the player numbers at the “Real” football club this summer. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Kylian Mbappe will now take the field wearing the number 10 jersey. This number previously belonged to Luka Modric. As a result, the number 9 has become vacant. Earlier, there were reports that the club management might give the number 9 to Gonzalo Garcia. Gonzalo Garcia had performed well in last year's Club World Cup. However, new information has emerged. According to new information, the number 9 will go to another forward – 19-year-old Endrik. Endrik previously played under the number 16 for “Real.” He also stands out with his talent in the Brazil national team. Endrik has participated in 37 matches for “Real” so far. In these matches, he has scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist. The club management and coaching staff believe that he will continue to benefit the team in the future. Thus, the player numbers for the new season have been determined for the “Real” team.

Former president of the “Spartak” football club Andrey Chervichenko criticized the club's sports director Fransis Kahigao's activities. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Kahigao is purchasing players who are not beneficial for the club. Chervichenko emphasized that this situation was particularly evident in the match against “Akron”. He stated that the new players of “Spartak” did not fully demonstrate themselves and the money spent on them did not justify itself. The players of “Akron” showed that they are no less capable than the new “Spartak” players Liva Garcia and Jedson Fernandes. This has been a significant loss for the club, says Chervichenko. According to reports, Liva Garcia joined “Spartak” for 18.7 million euros in the winter of 2025. For Jedson Fernandes, the Moscow club paid 20.7 million euros this summer. This amount does not include bonuses. In the match against “Akron”, “Spartak” conceded a goal in the final minutes and managed to earn only one point. The game ended with a score of 1:1. Thus, it can be seen that the money spent on the club's new players has not justified itself so far. Experts are evaluating this situation as a serious problem.

Apple presented its new flagship smartphones, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, in September. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

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.

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.

According to the President's decree, the ToshTech Technical University will be established in Tashkent city. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This new higher education institution will play an important role in developing modern engineering knowledge in our country and training competitive specialists. According to the decree, the university will have full independence in academic, financial, and organizational management matters. This will allow the educational process to be organized in accordance with international standards.

From the next year, that is, the 2026-2027 academic year, bachelor's degree programs will begin operating at the university. Students will have the opportunity to receive education in modern subjects. Additionally, from the 2027-2028 academic year, master's and postgraduate programs will also be gradually introduced. Studying at the university will be organized on the basis of state grants and tuition contracts. Classes will be conducted not only in Uzbek but also in foreign languages. This will enable students to gain international experience and expand their knowledge further. The most important aspect is that all students admitted by the 2029-2030 academic year will receive completely free education based on state grants. Through this initiative, ToshTech Technical University will play a significant role in enhancing the engineering and research potential of our country, as well as creating new opportunities for young people (source: zamin.uz).
