The sale of dolls and small figurines in the shape of humans or animals intended for children has been strictly prohibited in the city of Kandahar. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to local sources, this decision was made on religious grounds. Guardians of morality and virtue in the region have repeatedly inspected stores and demanded the removal of such toys from sale. They have firmly stated that these items are considered "haram" and that there is no permission to sell them. The ban is not limited to dolls; other toys depicting humans or animals have also been included in the list. Such goods are being evaluated as "idol-like." Although officials have not provided an official comment, local traders are taking the situation seriously. They say that trade was already slow, and the new decision has further reduced revenue. According to shopkeepers, urgent instructions have been given that "any figurine or doll depicting a living being must be removed." Some traders are not disclosing their names out of fear. Moral guardians are conducting repeated inspections in the markets. Toy stores are becoming empty, with only balloons, paper decorations, and items without images left on the shelves. Oral instructions stating "these toys are haram, you cannot sell them" have been repeated several times. Stores that do not comply with the demand have been warned that administrative measures may be taken against them. After the announcement of the ban, many traders are looking for ways to hide more expensive dolls and figurines in warehouses or send them to other provinces. This restriction is negatively impacting their family income. Although the sale of dolls does not constitute a large part of Kandahar's economy, it was a small and steady channel that filled the circulating funds in the children's market. Now this channel is shrinking. Due to the decline in trade, prices may fluctuate sharply, goods may transition to underground circulation, or may completely spoil. Sellers do not know which path to choose. Wholesalers who make contracts with private producers are also in a difficult situation. Orders have stopped, payments are delayed. Some are discussing the issue of canceling contracts. The ministry that oversees moral regulations has been intervening in social spheres through various bans and restrictions in recent years. The demands regarding music, images, clothing, and women's activism have gradually tightened, as reported by international media several times. In particular, the issue of images is at the center of attention. Demands regarding items depicting statues, mannequin heads, and living creatures have been strict in the past as well. There are documented cases where authorities have been given the power to cover or cut mannequin heads. In historical periods, idols, statues, or images of living beings were rejected when they contradicted religious beliefs. The current restrictions are seen as a continuation of that cultural-religious heritage. The biggest problem for retail stores is how to dispose of the goods that remain in stock. Exporting is expensive, and selling secretly in the local market is considered risky. Market instability decreases trust. Some sellers are looking for "image-free" alternatives for children, such as construction sets, jigsaw puzzles, and paper game kits. However, such demand does not reach the level of dolls. One of the traders from the internal market said by the Amu River: "Trade was low before, now it has completely dropped. We are barely surviving." This sentiment reflects the mood of many other store owners. In an effort to alleviate the situation, some are offering small spinning tops, paper flyers, and balloon sets.

He described his time at Manchester United as an important period of his life and expressed gratitude to the club. Rashford wishes his former team success in the future.

Last season, under head coach Ruben Amorim, Rashford was less involved in the Manchester United squad. For this reason, he decided to move to his new club, FC Barcelona. FC Barcelona officially announced that they had signed a contract with Rashford.

According to them, Juan believes that his club will win the Russian Premier League championship this season. He is currently not considering moving to another team.

The newly added players are gradually improving their game. The coaching staff indicated that they were not fully satisfied with the attacking line in the match against Dynamo in Moscow, as the players did not create serious scoring opportunities in the second half of the game. The match between Spartak and Baltika in the next round will take place at Lukoil Arena on July 26. This match is of great importance within the RPL framework, as the teams will try to showcase their strength. Talalaev's team believes in its strength and strives for success

According to former Sankt-Petersburg "Zenit" striker Pavel Pogrebnyak, Markus Vendel should stay at the club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Then his partnership with Jerson Santos will be very strong. Pogrebnyak emphasized in an interview with "Sport-Ekspress" that the connection between Vendel and Jerson will be a great strength for the team. Their game could make the Russian championship even more attractive. It is worth noting that at the end of last season, Vendel was expected to move to "Botafogo," but this transfer did not happen. Currently, "Zenit" is still considering the option of selling Markus. Jerson, on the other hand, moved from "Flamengo" to "Zenit" in the summer of 2025. Their joint play is hoped to further strengthen the team's central line. Thus, the club management and fans want Vendel to stay, which will have a positive impact on the team.

In the last seven months, several publications in the Middle East, particularly Israel's "Yedioth Ahronoth" newspaper, reported that three assassination attempts against Syria's interim president Ahmad ash-Shar have been thwarted. This was reported by Zamin.uz. However, these reports have not been fully confirmed by independent official sources. The first attempt was planned to take place in March near the Qasr al-Shaab palace in Damascus. Turkish security forces acted quickly and neutralized the suspect. The plans for the second assassination were identified before Ahmad ash-Shar's visit to the city of Dar'a, which borders Jordan, and were successfully thwarted in cooperation with Syrian and Turkish security agencies. The third attempt, according to sources, is considered the most serious and was intended to be carried out covertly in Damascus along ash-Shar's regular route. Special services also identified and prevented this action in time. According to Israeli and Arab sources, Ahmad ash-Shar ordered to limit information about the assassination attempts to avoid unnecessary panic and chaos among the population. Caution is advised regarding these reports until official confirmation is received. Additionally, it is said that the "Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham" group played a significant role in the overthrow of Bashar Assad's regime on December 8, 2024. As a result of these events, Ahmad ash-Shar is recognized as the practical leader of the country. These conclusions have also not been fully confirmed by independent sources. Recently, Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli referred to Ahmad ash-Shar as a terrorist and called for his elimination, attracting international attention. The political situation is becoming more complex, intensifying tensions in the security field as well. According to Turkish media, the Damascus leadership has requested assistance from Ankara to enhance defense capabilities, strengthen border security, and combat armed groups. The Turkish side stated that it would continue to provide training, practical experience exchange, and technical assistance. The Turkish Ministry of Defense indicated that supporting political unity and territorial integrity in the region, as well as ensuring stable peace, is a primary goal. Amid the information about the assassination attempts, the balance of power in Syria is once again in the spotlight. If the provided information is true, defense systems are actively working in cooperation. However, until complete official and technical information is provided, all conclusions remain conditional. The main question for observers is what preventive measures the security structures are taking after three attempts. Information regarding measures such as changing convoy routes, updating signal encryption systems, and expanding the network of local informants is currently limited. The political situation in the region is constantly changing, and threats to high-ranking individuals are emerging in hybrid forms. Local groups, external influences, information operations, and terrorist networks can become active simultaneously. Therefore, the future development of security cooperation between Syria and Turkey is of great importance. In conclusion, recent events indicate that there are vulnerabilities in the protection of high-ranking political figures. Although the three assassination attempts have been successfully thwarted, the level of threat remains high. It is essential to closely monitor signals and information coming through Telegram, open sources, and international diplomatic channels. Stable security is an ongoing and continuous process.

Football agent Dmitriy Selyuk explained that it is preferable for Sergey Pinyaev to stay at Lokomotiv. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It is noted that the forward recently rejected a move to CSKA. According to Selyuk, Pinyaev has already adapted to Lokomotiv. The team’s head coach Galaktionov knows well how to utilize him, and the team members are also familiar with his playing style and capabilities. They understand each other well and are demonstrating good teamwork. The agent emphasized that moving to CSKA does not align with Pinyaev's desire to go to Europe. Currently, due to sanctions imposed on the "army" club, a transfer to a European club is impossible for the player. In the last season, Sergey Pinyaev scored 19 goals and assists in 38 matches. This result shows his significant contribution to the team. Thus, staying at Lokomotiv is considered a favorable and promising option for the player.

His previous club is Brazil's prestigious team "Flamengo." Hulk played for "Zenit" from 2012 to 2016 and is currently active in his homeland, Brazil.

Drozdov emphasized that he wants to see "Spartak" fighting for the championship. According to Drozdov, the "Krasnodar" team will face difficulties in defending their championship title in the upcoming season. For example, in the match against "Pari NN," "Krasnodar" could not deliver the expected result. The 2024-2025 season was historic for "Krasnodar," as they secured the championship title for the first time. Meanwhile, "Zenit" finished the season in second place after winning six consecutive gold medals. "Spartak" took fourth place. This season, competition among the teams is expected to be exciting.

Valeriy Nepomnyashiy commented on the recent victory of the "Krasnodar" team over "Pari NN" in the Russian Premier League and their upcoming match. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, although "Krasnodar" won their game in an illogical manner, the "Pari NN" team displayed a worthy performance. He also noted that the "Lokomotiv" and "Pari NN" teams did not perform as expected. Nepomnyashiy emphasized that he is expecting quality play from both teams, but his main favorite is "Krasnodar." It is worth mentioning that the match between "Krasnodar" and "Lokomotiv" will take place on July 26, Saturday. "Lokomotiv" defeated "Pari NN" 3:0 at home in the first round. This match is also considered one of the important games of the Russian championship.

Germany aims to lead in military technologies in Europe. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The country plans to increase its military budget to 162 billion euros by 2029. These funds will primarily be directed towards the development of artificial intelligence, autonomous robots, combat drones, and advanced surveillance technologies. One of the most notable startups is Helsing, which creates combat drones and artificial intelligence solutions. Recently, its value was estimated at 12 billion dollars. According to Gundbert Sherf, Europe is investing more in military technologies than the United States for the first time. Additionally, a technology called "spy swallows," developed by a startup in Germany named Swarm Biotactics, is gaining particular attention. These live insects are controlled through artificial stimulation, allowing for real-time intelligence data collection. The German government is preparing a draft law to simplify the entry of startups into new defense tenders. This law will allow small companies to participate in military contracts on a prepayment basis. It is also envisioned that only manufacturers within the European Union will be allowed to participate. Startups in the country such as ARX Robotics, Quantum Systems, and Donaustahl are engaged in creating AI-powered robots, drones, and new types of weapons. While the role of the US in NATO is becoming uncertain, Germany is striving to enhance its military capabilities and localize the European defense industry. Although Germany's economy has slowed down in the last two years, investments in military technologies could be a revitalizing factor for the economy. In 2024, venture capital investments directed towards defense startups in Europe reached 1 billion dollars, with Germany being the most active investor in this field.
