As tensions rise in the U.S. political arena, a new controversial movement by Donald Trump's supporters has emerged. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The right-leaning American Accountability Foundation (AAF) has provided the public with detailed information about 175 federal officials. This list includes not only their names and positions but also their photographs and personal information. AAF accuses these individuals of promoting radical ideas, particularly the principles of equality, diversity, and inclusivity. This has led to criticism against them in the public sphere. Following the release of the list, officials have faced various threats, pressure, and online harassment. Some have been fired, and two employees were forced to leave the country for safety reasons. Interestingly, some officials on the list have served not only in the current democratic government but also in the previous Republican administration. Despite their bipartisan activities, they are facing criticism related to inclusive views. The American Accountability Foundation is gradually directing its activities against the Joe Biden administration, and this organization is being used as a political weapon in Donald Trump's reelection campaign. This situation indicates that the level of personal threat in political struggles has risen in the U.S. According to reports, more than 88 officials on the list have either left the government or been forced to take administrative leave. Some were fired, while others left voluntarily under the threat of removal from office or reassignment. This situation raises serious issues regarding the safety and personal rights of public servants. Regardless of political views, public harassment is considered contrary to American democratic values. This incident clearly demonstrates how much political conflicts have intruded into personal lives. The public is closely watching how this process will unfold.

According to the AP News agency of the USA, the famous Hubble Space Telescope has captured the clearest images of a high-speed comet coming from another star system for the first time. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This object is a comet named 3I-Atlas, which is considered the third known interstellar object recorded by humanity. Astronomers only identified this comet last month, and it has been confirmed that it poses no threat to Earth. Initial estimates suggested that the comet's icy nucleus was several tens of kilometers in size. However, observations made by the Hubble telescope revealed that its nucleus has a diameter of approximately 5.6 kilometers. This interstellar comet is moving at a speed of 209,000 kilometers per hour. It will pass not near Earth, but closer to Mars, posing no danger to either planet. Current data indicates that the comet is located about 446 million kilometers away from us. The images taken by Hubble show a droplet-like layer of dust surrounding the comet and a long dusty tail forming behind it. This indicates that it is moving at high speed and changing under the influence of light and heat. Thus, the 3I-Atlas comet serves as a source of new information and discoveries for space scientists.

The Georgian footballer Zaza Janashiya once played for the "Lokomotiv" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He expressed his thoughts on the tightening of restrictions on the number of legionnaires in Russian football. Recently, the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Degtyaryov, proposed reducing the number of legionnaires in Premier League clubs. Zaza Janashiya considers this decision to be correct. According to him, starting from the next season, new restrictions for legionnaires will be introduced in the Russian Premier League. It is necessary to reduce the number of foreign players in the championship, as this will help strengthen the Russian national team. He believes that there should not be too many legionnaires, as it is important to train and develop local players. Under the current regulations, Premier League clubs can have 13 foreign players, and 8 of them can be on the field at the same time. According to the new rules, this restriction is expected to become stricter, and a "10+5" system will be introduced. This means that there can be 10 legionnaires in the club, and 5 of them can play on the field at the same time. These changes are expected to contribute to the experience of local players and the enhancement of the national team’s potential.

Additionally, according to the expert, it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions about the Moscow team's prospects for the season. For now, it is only possible to speak based on the results of the initial stages. Under the leadership of Mikhail Galaktionov, the "Lokomotiv" team has won three consecutive matches in the current championship, accumulating a total of 9 points. The team will face "Spartak" in the capital derby on Saturday. This match will start at 18:00 Moscow time.

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.

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.

Widely supported by the residents of London, this demonstration became a vivid example of political activism and unity.
