This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to the new regulation, a maximum of five foreign players can be on the field at the same time, and the total number of foreign players in the team's roster must not exceed ten.

He stated that restrictions on foreign players are frequently changed, which may cause some clubs to struggle to adapt to the new regulations. Kobelev also emphasized that it is not appropriate for five foreign players to sit on the bench under the new rules.

Additionally, Kobelev drew attention to the issues in the salary system for players.

Kobelev stressed the need to maintain balance in these matters.

The war in Gaza has been ongoing for almost two years, but Hamas continues to pay thousands of civilian employees every month through a secret system. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This system is dangerous and complex, based on cash. Hamas pays approximately 7 million dollars in total to about 30,000 civilian employees every 10 weeks. The amount paid to each employee constitutes only 20 percent of their pre-war salary. Typically, this amount is around 300 dollars and is often delivered in unusable or damaged condition. Due to the banking system being non-functional, employees receive money in secret locations. Salary recipients are sent secret messages via phone, for example, "Go have tea with a friend." At the designated location, an unknown person hands over the money in an envelope and disappears immediately. An employee from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Hamas stated in an interview that every time he goes to receive his salary, he says goodbye to his family. He emphasized, "I might not come back this time." Israel is trying to strike this payment system. Salary distributors are regularly targeted, making each payment operation life-threatening. Along with salaries, Hamas is also distributing food aid to its supporters. However, since the aid is only given to families close to Hamas, discontent among the people is growing. During the war, Hamas is maintaining financial stability mainly through reserves of 700 million dollars secretly stored in underground tunnel systems before the war. This funding allows the organization to continue its activities even in a complex situation.

Recent scientific research has unveiled new secrets of a cosmic event that caused significant changes in human history. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In collaborative research conducted by Western and Russian scientists, definitive traces of a comet that collided with Earth 12,800 years ago were found at the bottom of Baffin Bay. This discovery helps to better understand the impact of cosmic events on climate and the development of civilizations on Earth. A team of scientists led by Professor Christopher Moore from the University of South Carolina thoroughly studied geological samples taken from the seabed from molecular and geochemical perspectives. As a result, metals such as platinum, iridium, nickel, and cobalt were found in high quantities, confirming that their origin is not natural but rather from a cosmic source. According to Vladimir Selmovich, a specialist at the "Borok" geophysical observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Earth Physics, such cosmic collisions have caused climate crises on Earth and led to the extinction of some ancient civilizations. The comet collision approximately 12,800 years ago triggered a global cooling, marking the beginning of the Ice Age. Scientists who examined the morphology and composition of micro-particles identified them as remnants of the comet. The cosmic dust that spread into the Earth's atmosphere resulted in a significant cooling on our planet for a short period, lasting about 1,400 years. This discovery further proves the significant role of cosmic events in global climate changes, the animal and plant world, and the extinction of ancient civilizations. The recently published research holds great importance not only for science but also for humanity's past and future. It is recommended to continue monitoring new scientific findings regarding the role of cosmic events in Earth's history and their impact on climate change. These discoveries once again highlight the necessity of searching for natural phenomena not only on Earth but also in the cosmos. Stay tuned for new information about cosmic mysteries and significant changes in Earth's history.

International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
