The Russian Ministry of Sports plans to tighten the restrictions on the number of legionnaires starting from the next season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Famous coach Sergey Tashuev does not support such a decision. In his opinion, such restrictions will not yield positive results, especially in the context of Russia's isolation in international football.

He believes that it is necessary to abandon artificial measures and seek ways to increase the number of strong players. The coach suggests not changing the limit on the number of legionnaires until the restrictions imposed on the Russian Football Union by UEFA and FIFA are lifted. After that, the situation should be monitored. Currently, the number of legionnaires in the Russian Premier League teams is set according to the "13+8" formula: 13 legionnaires can be included in the season application, and a maximum of 8 legionnaires must be on the field at the same time. According to media reports, the Ministry of Sports supports the "10+5" formula. This means further reduction in the number of legionnaires.

The police in Shanxi province, China, arrested a couple attempting to vandalize a historical monument. This was reported by Zamin.uz. They tried to cut stones from the Great Wall of China, which has a thousand-year history, and sell them on the online market. The Linfen city police identified a suspicious advertisement on the marketplace and uncovered this crime. The advertisement stated, "Authentic bricks from the Great Wall of China for sale. Price 95 yuan." Law enforcement tracked down the couple who violated the law — Wan and Qian — in Beichunxuan village.

The failure to collect waste during the summer in various cities in the US has become a serious issue. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This situation has arisen due to the strike of workers from the private waste management company Republic Services. The workers express dissatisfaction with their wages and social security conditions. As a result, millions of Americans are facing waste issues. Strikes have spread across the entire country. On July 1, the Teamsters Local 25 union, covering 14 cities near Boston, began a strike by waste workers. This movement later expanded to California, Illinois, Georgia, and Washington states. Although agreements have been reached with some cities, the problem remains unresolved in many areas. Mike Ortiz, a driver with 17 years of experience from Malden, emphasizes the low wages, stating, "You can't live a month on the salary they are offering." The total number of striking workers has exceeded 2,000. They are dissatisfied with equipment malfunctions, poor hygiene conditions, and a hazardous work environment. Republic Services accused the union of illegal activities during the strikes. Allegations included slashing tires, spraying chemicals, and assaulting drivers. However, the Teamsters deny these accusations. Experts believe that the accumulation of waste in open areas, especially during the summer months, negatively impacts health and hygiene. This increases public pressure in favor of the workers. For example, in Philadelphia, an agreement was reached within just eight days of the workers going on strike. Some cities have established alternative waste collection points, while in some areas, temporary contracts have been made with other private companies. However, these measures incur additional costs to the budget. For this reason, negotiations are ongoing to find a permanent solution to the problem.
