The Chinese government has launched a new device to destroy confiscated smartphones and extract data from them. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to TechCrunch, this device allows Chinese law enforcement agencies to easily access contacts, messages, photos, and other personal information on the phones. The device is primarily used on the phones of individuals who have been detained and are under investigation. Experts believe that this technology poses a serious threat to human rights and personal privacy. The device operates without an internet connection and connects directly to the phone. Moreover, it is capable of bypassing biometric protections such as facial recognition or fingerprints, rather than passwords. This new device enables government agencies to obtain data quickly and efficiently, but it raises further concerns about the protection of privacy rights. For this reason, experts emphasize the need for caution in its application.

The "Baltika" team, under the leadership of Andrey Talalaev, managed to win the championship in Russia's second strongest league and return to the elite league within a year.

It is also known that Slutsky has won the Chinese Super Cup twice during his time in China. Overall, he is already in his second season in China. The renewal of Slutsky's contract indicates his strengthening position in Chinese football. This is expected to yield positive results for both the club and the coach.

The Moscow "Lokomotiv" club is ready to sell midfielder and team captain Dmitriy Barinov for 2 million euros. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to an internal source, Ivan Karpov provides this information. "Lokomotiv" will treat the captain, who has led the team for many years, with respect. He previously rejected an offer from the "Zenit" club and re-signed an attractive contract with his home team. Karpov also confirms that there have been negotiations between the parties regarding Barinov's potential move to Istanbul's "Basaksehir" club. The Turks have not made an official offer to "Lokomotiv," but there are general agreements on personal terms. Therefore, the information about problems in this transfer process does not correspond to reality. The relationship between the club and the player is respectful, and future decisions are being considered carefully.

Football clubs in Saudi Arabia are intensifying their interest in Lionel Messi. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The clubs "Al-Ahli" and "Al-Hilal" are ready to make significant financial offers to the great Argentine player, but "Inter Miami" is doing everything possible to retain this legend. The publication "Euro-Futbol.Ru" discusses the necessity for "Inter Miami" to keep Messi in MLS. Messi's arrival in MLS has brought about a fundamental change in American football. The number of spectators has significantly increased, and "Inter Miami" matches are filling stadiums, not just for home games. Messi's arrival has given a great boost to Beckham's team, which has gained worldwide popularity and increased its following on social media. Currently, Messi is considered the heart of "Inter Miami." With his arrival, the club has also attracted other stars from around the world, including players like Busquets, Alba, and Suarez. Messi is bringing significant revenue not only to "Inter Miami" but to the entire MLS league as well. After his arrival, European spectators began to show interest in MLS, which has taken the league to a new economic level. The biggest benefit has gone to Apple. In 2022, they purchased the broadcasting rights for MLS for 2.5 billion dollars over 10 years. After Messi's transfer to "Inter Miami" was announced in 2023, all major brands intensified their interest in the American football market. Saudi Arabia needs Messi, but Messi does not feel the need for Saudi Arabia. He previously played under the protection of sheikhs at "PSG," where there were great financial opportunities and stars, but this did not outweigh his family's well-being. During two years in Paris, Messi and his family could not adapt, which negatively affected his game. In Florida, however, everything is available for Messi — a happy family, friends, the respect of fans, and warm relations with the management. Saudi Arabia can only offer the player money, but if Messi needed money, he would have gone to Saudi Arabia in 2023 after Ronaldo. But he chose family and peace. Messi has acknowledged that he is tired of constant attention in Europe. Moving to Saudi Arabia would certainly increase interest in the league, especially when competition with Ronaldo resumes, but none of this is important to Messi. He has proven his status as a player who has won the "Ballon d'Or" eight times and secured a world championship. Messi is a symbol and a role model for the younger generation. Under his influence, many children have started to take an interest in football. Messi is making American football popular and prestigious. Now losing him would mean giving up all the achievements built over the last two years. Therefore, "Inter Miami" and MLS must utilize every opportunity to keep Messi — every contract, bonuses, and demands must be met. However, Messi is also in the final stage of his career, and he just loves to play football, continuing to do so as long as his health allows. Such players come to championships at the MLS level once or twice in a century, so they have the right to leave at their discretion. Author: Dmitriy Milyayev

The Nizhny Novgorod "Pari NN" team will soon add a new player, Daniil Lesov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Insider Ivan Karpov provided this information on the television channel. According to him, Daniil successfully passed all tests and will sign a three-year contract today. This transfer is free, and the player is coming from the "Dinamo" team. He had one year left on his previous contract, which included a buyback option for 100 million rubles and a 30 percent share of the sale. Daniil Lesov has played for other teams on loan in recent years. Last season, he played for the AEL club in Cyprus. Additionally, he has also appeared for the "Arsenal" team in Tula, Russia. This transfer will be an important step in strengthening the "Pari NN" team.

Leonid Slutsky extended his contract with the "Shanghai Shenhua" club until the end of 2027. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This week, it was announced that a new employment contract was signed between the club and the coach. The famous coach Valery Nepomnyashchiy shared his thoughts on this event. According to him, if the club shows confidence in the coach for the next two years, it is a significant sign of attention and respect. Slutsky is successfully operating in China, and the team is continuously developing. Therefore, it was emphasized that it is logically correct for the club to express its confidence in him. Currently, "Shanghai Shenhua" is in second place in the Chinese championship. The team is equal on points with the leader, only falling behind based on additional criteria. Under Leonid Slutsky's leadership, "Shanghai Shenhua" has won the Chinese Super Cup twice. These results clearly demonstrate the coach's contribution to the team. Thus, the cooperation between the club and the coach is becoming stronger, and greater achievements are expected in the future.

The "Bayern" team is showing interest in "Stuttgart" forward Nik Voltemade. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. However, this transfer issue is dragging on. The "Stuttgart" club rejected an offer of 40 million euros and 5 million in bonuses for Voltemade. Additionally, they sent an official letter to "Bayern" via email requesting to halt negotiations with Voltemade. The aim is to avoid distracting the player. This was reported by Bild. The "Stuttgart" team does not want to be in direct contact with "Bayern" until an agreement on the price for the 23-year-old player is reached between the clubs. At the same time, the popular Transfermarkt portal values Nik Voltemade at 30 million euros. This situation illustrates the complexity of the transfer process, and time is needed to reach an agreement between the parties. Negotiations will continue until the interests of the player and the clubs are aligned.

The military operations in the Gaza Strip have escalated to a new phase. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of the latest operation carried out by the Israeli army, the city of Khan Yunis has been divided into two parts – separated into western and eastern areas. Several Israeli news agencies reported this. The military operation named "Magen Oz" has been completed. This operation is of strategic importance for the Israeli military, with its main goal being to strike at the forces of Hamas in Khan Yunis and to gain control of the city. The total length of the new corridor is approximately 15 kilometers. The Golani and Barak brigades participated in the operation. They moved in a coordinated manner and achieved mutual consolidation. During the battles, dozens of Hamas fighters were eliminated over several weeks, and underground infrastructures, special tunnels, and weapon depots were also targeted. Currently, the Gaza Strip is almost completely divided into segments. Earlier, the Morag corridor had separated the city of Rafah from Khan Yunis. Now the newly created "Magen Oz" corridor is precisely dividing the city of Khan Yunis itself into two parts. The Israeli military aims to achieve two main objectives through this: the first is to complicate the logistics of the Hamas movement, and the second is to create safe routes for humanitarian needs. According to them, this tactic serves to simplify the battlefield. International observers are seriously assessing the new situation. The continuous division of residential areas can lead to negative consequences not only militarily but also humanitarianly. The current situation indicates that the situation in Gaza is becoming even more complex and contradictory. The sphere of influence is expanding through new fronts and corridors, but security and humanitarian issues are also becoming urgent. Although opinions vary, the struggle unfortunately continues for now.

Former Manchester United player Teddy Sheringham expressed his opinion about striker Marcus Rashford. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He said: "Hearing that someone wants to leave is an unpleasant situation for me. For example, I didn't like seeing Aubameyang do this at Arsenal. It’s very painful, and I hope that the transfer he dreams of does not happen. In my opinion, moving from Manchester United to Barcelona is an undeserving step for Rashford." In an interview with Sky Bet, Sheringham stated this. The Transfermarkt portal values the 27-year-old striker at 50 million euros.

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.

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. Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.

An unusual and interesting event took place in the city of Szekszárd, Hungary – the 18th International Grave Digging Championship. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This competition was organized by the country's Grave Diggers Association based on a clear plan and order. The event served to enhance the prestige of the profession. Participants took part in teams of two. They were given two hours. During this time, each team had to dig a grave measuring 200x80 centimeters and 160 centimeters deep.

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.

From the next year, that is, the 2026-2027 academic year, bachelor's degree programs will begin operating at the university. Students will have the opportunity to receive education in modern subjects. Additionally, from the 2027-2028 academic year, master's and postgraduate programs will also be gradually introduced. Studying at the university will be organized on the basis of state grants and tuition contracts. Classes will be conducted not only in Uzbek but also in foreign languages. This will enable students to gain international experience and expand their knowledge further. The most important aspect is that all students admitted by the 2029-2030 academic year will receive completely free education based on state grants. Through this initiative, ToshTech Technical University will play a significant role in enhancing the engineering and research potential of our country, as well as creating new opportunities for young people (source: zamin.uz).
