Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reiterated the necessity for Israel to completely withdraw from the occupied territories to resolve the Gaza issue. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He made this statement during a meeting with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in Amman. The meeting discussed the recent events in Palestine, including the violence being perpetrated against the civilian population. In his speech, Abbas emphasized the urgent need to cease fire, release all citizens, and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. In his view, the only fundamental solution is the complete withdrawal of Israel from the territories. After that, Gaza will fully fall under the responsibility of the Palestinian state. The state leader called on HAMAS to hand over weapons to the official administration and to participate in political processes within the framework of the organization for the liberation of Palestine. Previously, US President Donald Trump announced that Israel had accepted the 60-day ceasefire conditions presented with the mediation of Qatar and Egypt. HAMAS responded positively and announced its readiness for negotiations. However, the Israeli side rejected the amendments proposed by HAMAS. After that, the Israeli delegation headed to Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the aim of continuing negotiations. According to sources, agreements have been reached on many issues, but the main conflict is Israel's demand to maintain military control over the city of Rafah in southern Gaza and the Moran corridor.

Uzbek coach Sergey Tashuev, who recently worked at the "Akhmat" club in Grozny, shared his thoughts on the results of the Club World Championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The tournament was held in a renewed format in the USA from June to July. A total of 32 clubs participated. In the final, London’s "Chelsea" team defeated France’s "PSG" team 3:0 and claimed the championship. According to Tashuev, Chelsea's victory indicates that PSG players are already tired of playing. The timing of the tournament was chosen very inconveniently. The FIFA organization should analyze this situation and draw important conclusions instead of chasing after large sums of money. In the last season, the PSG team won the Super Cup, the Cup, the French championship, and the UEFA Champions League. At the same time, the Chelsea team won the UEFA Conference League. These thoughts were presented by the "Sovetskiy sport" publication. The new format and results of the tournament have garnered significant attention in the football world. Tashuev emphasized that football organizers need to set the timing of tournaments in a more convenient manner that aligns with the players' conditions. This will help improve the quality of the game and ensure the effectiveness of the players. It is important for FIFA and other international organizations to seriously consider such issues.

Therefore, we hope that the situation at "Rubin" will remain unchanged, Bulykin emphasized.

A well-known expert in Russian football, Nikolay Naumov, shared his thoughts on Arsen Zaharyan's future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, it is not necessary for Zaharyan to return to Russia; playing in another country or for another club in Europe could be advisable.

So far, he has participated in 44 matches for the Spanish club, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists.

Former president of the "Lokomotiv" club Nikolay Naumov shared his thoughts on the news from St. Petersburg's "Zenit" club in an exclusive interview with the publication "Evro-Futbol.Ru". This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, "Zenit" recently invited star player Jerson to the team. Coach Sergey Semak stated that this player will play an important role for the team. In Naumov's opinion, Jerson will greatly help strengthen the midfield, especially since Douglas Santos is currently not in his position. Jerson will be a central player in building "Zenit's" main game. Additionally, the situation regarding Wendell remains unclear. Naumov criticized Wendell for not yet joining the team and not signing a contract with "Botafogo". He emphasized that such indiscipline would negatively affect the team. There must be discipline in the team, and serious measures should be taken against delays. Wendell's repeated occurrences of such situations every year are also negatively impacting other Brazilian players. They express dissatisfaction, which leads to problems within the team. Naumov demanded that Semak fight against such situations. He also spoke about Aleksandr Sobolev. Many Russian players fail at "Zenit" and are later transferred to other teams. Sobolev may face a similar fate. The issue of whether to give Sobolev a chance or loan him to "Orenburg" was discussed. According to Naumov, it is difficult to give Sobolev a chance because the team has strong legionnaires like Matteo Kassierra and Lutsiano Gonda. Therefore, Sobolev will spend more time coming off the bench. There was also talk about Nino, and the possibility of him leaving the team for family reasons was considered. Naumov rated him as a mid-level defender, emphasizing that this would be a loss for the team. It was noted that there are problems in the defense line, and other players are not always in good condition. For this reason, the need to strengthen the defense line was highlighted. Finally, Ilya Samoshnikov was mentioned. It is said that he may be bought by the "Spartak" team. In Naumov's opinion, Samoshnikov is a strong defender, but it is difficult to give him a chance at "Zenit" because there are other players of a similar level in the team. He may also be assigned a backup role. Thus, Russian players often do not fully showcase their potential at "Zenit", and the likelihood of this situation recurring is high.

Last season, the 33-year-old footballer appeared on the field 26 times as part of Volgograd's "Rotor" team.

On July 10, 2025, a law (ZR-1075) amending and supplementing the Administrative Liability Code was adopted in Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz. The press service of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan announced this. The law establishes a number of cases for the cancellation of administrative liability, which previously led to punishment. In particular, the following actions have been removed from administrative liability: damage to telephone booths and the installation or use of unauthorized radio signal transmission stations. One of the main innovations of the law is the introduction of a private prosecution institution for administrative offenses.

Administrative proceedings in such cases will only be initiated at the initiative of the injured party. However, exceptions are established for cases where the victim cannot defend their rights. If the victim needs assistance, is a minor, or cannot file a complaint for other reasons, the authorized official is obliged to initiate the case without the victim's application.

According to the final results of the OLIMPBET Russian Supercup, CSKA defeated “Krasnodar” with a score of 1:0. Additionally, on July 13, in the final of the Club World Championship, the “Chelsea” team defeated “PSG” with a significant score of 3:0.

Russian commentator Dmitry Guberniev expressed his opinion that football is the most popular sport in Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

A new stage of reforms has begun in the state governance system of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the most important part of which is the closure of the Information and Mass Communications Agency. This was reported by Upl.uz. This decision is part of comprehensive reforms adopted within the framework of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's decree on "Measures to enhance efficiency, proactivity, and results in the state governance system." A national content production center is planned to be established based on the material and technical resources and personnel of the closed agency, with its tasks and powers to be clearly defined in the near future. These changes are being implemented against the backdrop of a deep reorganization of the presidential administration. From now on, the administration will operate based on updated principles. One of the main innovations is the requirement that all drafts of normative legal documents undergo mandatory expertise and be based on scientific research. For this purpose, analytical institutions within the presidential administration will be actively involved, and the recommendations of local and foreign experts and scholars will also be taken into account. This approach aims to enhance the quality and justification of the decisions being made. Special project offices are being established to implement the strategic directions of the reforms. At the same time, a compliance system is being introduced in the presidential administration. These measures are aimed at ensuring systematic control of legality, strengthening executive discipline, and especially creating mechanisms to prevent corruption risks. The transparency of the activities of state bodies is one of the priority areas. Within the framework of the new structure, positions of representatives of the President in specific areas will be established, and they will take personal responsibility for their fields. The reforms will also directly affect the system of relations between the government and society. The document envisions increasing the accountability of state bodies, including regional governors, to citizens. For this purpose, the institute of press secretaries will be strengthened, and they will be provided with new powers and tools. A new system for effective communication with the public and working with the media will be introduced, which will serve to make the communication between the state and society systematic and effective. The Information and Mass Communications Agency was established in 2019, and during its initial activities, it was led by the President's close associate Sayyora Mirziyoyeva. This has given the agency a special status and influence in the country's media and political spheres.

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.
