Former Russian Premier League referee Igor Fedotov shared new thoughts on the controversial situation that occurred at the beginning of the match between Spartak and Baltika. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Anton Zabolotniy received a red card from Sergey Karasyov after the intervention of the VAR system for a foul. Fedotov expressed surprise that, despite Karasyov's high qualifications, he initially did not see the situation fully. Additionally, it is possible that the assistant referee was also unable to assess the situation correctly. Fedotov maintained his opinion that Zabolotniy should have only received a yellow card. At the same time, he expects the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union to support Karasyov. For reference, the Spartak team lost to Baltika 0:3 at home.

Famous former footballer Aleksandr Mostovoy commented on Baktiyor Zayniddinov's transfer to the "Dinamo" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The Moscow team announced the transfer of the Kazakh player on Monday. Zayniddinov is capable of playing in several positions in defense and midfield. According to Mostovoy, the current "Dinamo" is only acquiring familiar players. However, if there is an opportunity, there is no reason to refuse. If the club has funds, it is good to buy players. He also shared his thoughts on the player's price in an interview with Metaratings. He emphasized that 3 million euros for one player is a lot of money, as in the past, that amount could buy several players. Additionally, Valeriy Karpin previously worked with Baktiyor Zayniddinov at the "Rostov" club. Currently, "Dinamo" has accumulated four points after two rounds of the Premier League. This is the team's result at the start of the season. Overall, Zayniddinov's transfer is an important event for the club, and his addition to the team will help improve the quality of the game.

Flang defender Eli Dasa, who left the Moscow "Dinamo" club this summer, may play in the Russian championship again. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This was reported by Israel's Ynet publication. According to the source, the "Lokomotiv" club wants to add Dasa as a free agent. The railway workers' management has been negotiating with the Israeli footballer for several days. Dasa has played three seasons in the Russian Premier League. In the last football season, he played 26 matches for the "white-blue" team, scored one goal, and provided one assist. According to Transfermarkt, the market value of the 32-year-old footballer is one million euros. Thus, the likelihood of Eli Dasa returning to the Russian championship is high, and the "Lokomotiv" club is actively working to add him to their squad. Given the player's experience and role in the game, he is expected to provide significant help to the team.

Agent Ilya Samoshnikov's representative Aleksey Babir commented on the possibility of the «Lokomotiv» defender leaving the club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It is noted that Ilya is planning to move to the «Spartak» team. Previously, it was known that the player underwent an MRI scan and was working on finalizing his transfer to the «red-whites». According to Babir, Ilya is being pursued not only by «Spartak», but also by several other clubs. He is currently a player of «Lokomotiv» and has returned to the field after recovering. The agent emphasized that the main goal at this stage is to achieve good physical condition after the injury. Recently, Ilya returned to the field after a long break. The defender came on in the second half of the match between «Lokomotiv» and «Krasnodar». In this match, the «Railwaymen» won 2:1. A decision about Samoshnikov's future will be clarified after an agreement is reached between the team and the player.

Franco Kamotschi, who was a consultant to the former president, shared his thoughts on Anton Zabolotniy, the new player of Moscow's "Spartak". This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, blaming Zabolotniy for "Spartak's" defeats would be incorrect. Because he was not invited to the club by himself; this decision was made by the team leaders, who believed in his ability to strengthen the team. Therefore, it is unfair to criticize or insult him. It should be noted that Zabolotniy left the field in the 11th minute of the match between "Spartak" and "Baltika". He received a direct red card. In this match, the "Spartak" team lost two players, and in the second half, the foreign player Markinyos had a negative impact on the team. These circumstances led to the team's defeat. According to Kamotschi, individual mistakes in such situations should be assessed at the team level.

Relations between North and South Korea have become tense again. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korea's leader and one of the influential figures in the country's political elite, firmly rejected all attempts by South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol aimed at reconciliation. This was reported by aljazeera.com. According to reports, South Korean officials have decided to temporarily suspend propaganda broadcasts being conducted in the border area. However, Kim Yo Jong assessed this step as a temporary halt to something that should not have been done in the first place. She emphasized that if Seoul tries to forget previous political events with a few emotional words, it could turn into a serious and irreparable mistake. She also referred to South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's idea of inviting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to the APEC summit as fanciful. In Kim Yo Jong's opinion, the new government's commitment to a military alliance with the United States and its stance against Pyongyang is almost no different from that of the previous conservative president. Kim Yo Jong stated: “No matter what policy Seoul pursues or what proposals it makes, Pyongyang has no interest in such actions. We see no basis for a meeting or negotiations with South Korea.” South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol came to power in June of this year. His ruling Democratic Party is known as a supporter of improving bilateral relations, but practical results have yet to be seen. Thus, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is becoming increasingly acute. As hopes for negotiations and reconciliation are dwindling, security-related issues are coming to the forefront in the region. The public is waiting to see what the future of relations between the Koreas will be.

One of the important situations in the second round of the Russian championship was the dismissal of Spartak's striker Anton Zabolotyn, as commented by former Russian referee Sergey Lapochkin. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In the match, good speed, a strong shot with the correct foot, and the high impact of open thorns were observed. As Lapochkin noted, the shot reached the area of the calf muscles, and a little later, the upper part of the calf muscles. According to the referee, the striker did not do this intentionally, but all criteria were present for issuing a red card. Additionally, the Spartak team lost not only Anton Zabolotyn but also the foreign player Markinhos in the match against Baltika. He received a second warning and had to continue the game in the second half with seven players. These situations negatively affected the team's chances in the match. Overall, the referee's decisions were within the law, demonstrating the necessity of strict adherence to football rules.

Danil Glebov, a midfielder of the Moscow "Dinamo" team, spoke about how head coach Valeriy Karpin chose the team captain. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The captain of Moscow "Dinamo" is Daniil Fomin, a midfielder of the Russian national team. It is worth noting that Valeriy Karpin was appointed as the head coach of "Dinamo" this summer. Previously, he had worked at the "Rostov" team for several years. Under the new coach, "Dinamo" has accumulated four points after two rounds.

At the same time, they aim to occupy as high positions as possible in the league table by the end of the season. Gassama revealed this in an interview with "RB Sport." It is worth noting that "Baltika" collected four points in the first two rounds of the current season. In both matches, the team played in Moscow. In the first round, they drew with "Dinamo," managed by Valery Karpin, complicating the coach's debut (1:1). In the second round, "Baltika" defeated "Spartak" with a score of 3:0.

The "Spartak" team is preparing to make the most expensive incoming transfer in its history. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The "red-whites" are planning to pay twenty million euros to "Beshiktash" for Jedsan Fernandes. According to Metaratings, "Spartak" has agreed to the terms of "Beshiktash" and will make the payment for Jedsan in one go. This decision has accelerated the midfielder's transfer. According to Transfermarkt, the most expensive purchase in "Spartak" history so far is Levi Garcia, for whom the team spent 18.7 million euros. Additionally, according to media reports, the amount for Jedsan's transfer could increase by another five million euros due to bonuses. According to a Turkish journalist, Jedsan's move to "Spartak" is expected to happen soon. This transfer is anticipated to be an important step for the team's future successes.

The former head coach of the "Krylya Sovetov" team, Igor Osinkin, commented on the most exciting match of the second round of the Russian championship – the game between "Baltika" and Moscow's "Spartak." This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, "Baltika" organized the game correctly, executing their plan without rushing or opening up. The team showed patience, which brought them a positive result. The game of the "Spartak" team was disrupted due to Zabolotnoy leaving the field. This situation forced them to change their game plans, and the team lost two of their players. As a result, "Baltika" scored three goals against "Spartak," defeating their opponent. After two rounds, "Baltika" has accumulated four points. In the first round, they played a draw against the "Dinamo" team. These results demonstrate "Baltika's" strong performance this season and indicate that good results can be expected in future matches.

Starting from August 1, 2025, significant changes will occur in the food product regulation system in Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz. From now on, the cancellation of the mandatory nature of technical regulations and standards, including GOSTs, will take place. Instead, sanitary rules and hygiene standards developed by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Committee and agreed upon with the relevant authorities will apply directly. The new regulation does not mean a reduction in the safety requirements for food products. Products must be safe for consumption as before. However, the focus of control is changing: instead of strict compliance with technical regulations, attention will be paid to sanitary and hygiene requirements. For manufacturers, these changes will allow for the simplification of administrative processes and the flexibility of production processes. At the same time, risk factors may increase for consumers. The absence of strict quality standards set by GOSTs and technical regulations may lead to significant differences in product quality among various manufacturers. If regulatory bodies do not operate effectively, low-quality products may appear in the market, which could negatively impact consumers' health. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers exercise particular caution when selecting food products. It is necessary to carefully examine the product composition, check storage conditions, and verify the expiration date. These measures are crucial for ensuring health and safety.

Football agent Anzor Gargaev commented on Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov's performance in the "Besiktas" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Zaynutdinov could not fully show himself at "Besiktas" because he got injured right away, which negatively affected his game. Turkish football seemed complicated to him, and this situation often occurs with players. The agent believes that perhaps "Besiktas" is not the right team for Zaynutdinov. Recently, the Moscow "Dinamo" team signed a contract with a Kazakh defender. Zaynutdinov will play for Valery Karpin's team until June 2029. He played in Turkey for two seasons, appearing in a total of 49 matches. In those games, he scored one goal and provided one assist. These statistics give information about his activity at "Besiktas." Overall, it can be said that Zaynutdinov's experience playing in Turkey has been complicated and not easy.

Dmitriy Gafin, the chairman of the board of directors of the "Dinamo" football club, expressed his thoughts on the possibility of increasing the salaries of Russian football referees. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, discussions are ongoing on this topic, and this decision is considered correct. However, the increase in salaries should not only be tied to improving conditions but also depend on the quality of referees' performance ratings. Gafin emphasized this in an interview with the "Sport-Express" publication. Issues regarding refereeing in Russian football are still being discussed, even though the VAR system has been operational for several years. For example, the "Spartak" club has appealed to the Ethics and Sports Commission of the Russian Football Union to review the refereeing decisions of the first two matches of the new season. The matches of the third round of the Russian championship will take place from August 2 to August 4. These matches are highly anticipated by football fans. The improvement of refereeing quality and the adoption of fair decisions are crucial for ensuring the transparency and fairness of the games.

The Tashkent metro announces a temporary suspension of train operations on the above-ground sections of the metro circular line starting from August 2, 2025. This was reported by Upl.uz. The restrictions will cover the stations from "Technopark" to "Yangiobod".

Former Zenit coach Boris Rapoport commented on the St. Petersburg team's midfielder Jerson. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Sergey Semak substituted the Brazilian player at the end of the game, in the final minutes of the second half. After that, a goal was conceded in front of Zenit's goal. In the match held in Kazan, the score was equalized at 2:2. According to Rapoport, Semak should have brought Jerson onto the field only in the second half, just like in the previous match against Rostov. The former coach also emphasized that Zenit's head coach is trying to prepare Jerson for the match against CSKA. According to Rapoport, Brazilian players usually take a long time to adapt in the Zenit team. For this reason, the team coach is trying to give Jerson more game practice. The match between Zenit and CSKA within the Premier League will take place on August 3, Sunday. This match is of significant importance for both teams.

The search and rescue operations for the teenager who went missing in the waters of the Northern Fergana Canal have been ongoing for the fifth day in the Namangan region. This was reported by Upl.uz. The tragic incident that occurred on July 23, Wednesday, has affected the lives of two minors. According to official information, a signal regarding the incident was received at 13:48 by the duty section of the Namangan district. Two middle-aged children went underwater while swimming in a technological water reservoir near the village council without adult supervision. This area is officially prohibited for swimming and is not adapted for safe recreation, as local authorities and agencies continuously warn. A special group was quickly formed to carry out the search operations. The group includes professional divers and rescuers from the Namangan, Chust, and Pap districts, as well as specialists from the regional fire and rescue unit. The operation is continuously ongoing, checking the canal bed with surface and underwater equipment. Factors complicating the search operations include strong currents and low visibility. The efforts of the rescuers yielded partial results on July 25, Friday. Two days after the search began, the body of one teenager was found and retrieved from the water. The fate of the second child, born in 2009, remains unknown. Search operations are fully continuing on the morning of July 28, Monday. This incident is the latest in a series of tragedies that have recently occurred in Uzbekistan's water bodies. Earlier, the drowning of a woman and her two children due to a private boat capsizing in Karakalpakstan drew significant public attention. The man who was operating the boat organized a family outing, but the incident ended tragically due to non-compliance with safety regulations in the water. Many water channels in Central Asia, including the Northern Fergana Canal, were built during the Soviet era primarily for irrigation and agricultural needs. Their design is not intended for recreation or swimming. Concrete slabs, sharp changes in depth, and strong currents make such places very dangerous for swimming. For this reason, the population is advised to exercise caution in water bodies and not to swim in officially prohibited areas.

Since the law banning marriages between relatives came into effect in Azerbaijan in July 2025, the number of weddings has significantly decreased. This was reported by Zamin.uz. For example, while more than 5,000 marriages were registered in June, this figure dropped to 2,694 in July. Experts associate these changes closely with the enforcement of the law prohibiting marriages between close relatives. According to the law, marriage is completely prohibited between children of brothers and sisters who share a common grandfather or grandmother, as well as between biological cousins. The main goal of this law is to reduce the number of children born with genetic defects and to ensure a healthy generation. Medical specialists emphasize that marriages between relatives often lead to hereditary diseases, which negatively affect the health of future generations. According to data from the Ministry of Justice of Azerbaijan, from January to July 2025, 12,146 divorce cases were recorded in the country, a slight decrease compared to the previous year. The divorce rate per 1,000 people dropped from 2.1 to 2.0. In accordance with the new law, individuals applying for marriage registration are required to submit their birth certificates and their parents' documents to determine the degree of kinship. If a violation of the law is detected, administrative or criminal liability will be imposed for such cases. These regulations serve to build a healthy and stable society.
