Discussions regarding a video that spread on social media were widely debated. This was reported by Upl.uz. It featured a road patrol service officer and a girl riding a motorcycle side by side. Many users speculated that the inspector was racing with the girl on the motorcycle. The press secretary of the Tashkent City Department of Internal Affairs Traffic Safety Department, Qahramon Khudoyberganov, stated that this information was incorrect while commenting on the situation. According to him, the reason for moving together was entirely different. It was revealed that there were violations in the documents of the girl on the motorcycle. For this reason, a decision was made to take her motorcycle to the impound lot. The important aspect is that the girl herself brought the vehicle to the impound lot, and the inspector was only accompanying her. The road patrol service inspector drew up an administrative report against the girl. Currently, her vehicle is being kept at the impound lot, as reported by the Traffic Safety Department. Thus, the incident, which was perceived by many as an unauthorized race, was actually part of the process of formalizing an administrative violation.

A new era in traffic control has begun in the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent. This was reported by Upl.uz. At ten pedestrian crossings in Tashkent, cameras operating on artificial intelligence have been deployed as a trial. These devices automatically detect drivers who do not stop when pedestrians enter the crosswalk and impose fines. This news was announced by blogger Nikita Makarenko. When a pedestrian appears at the crosswalk, all drivers who do not stop will be fined. In just three days, the new systems recorded approximately 1700 violations. In the near future, this initiative is planned to be expanded, and similar cameras will be installed at another 30 intersections in the city. The implementation of such systems is considered an important step in ensuring road traffic safety. However, it should also be noted that the announcement of such significant news through a personal blog instead of official traffic safety service channels raises questions. It would be appropriate for official media to convey such news to the wider public.

According to South Korea's Yonhap news agency, during the war in Ukraine, North Korea has supplied a large amount of weapons and shells to Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This information is noted in the country's Military Intelligence Service report. According to official data, North Korea has delivered artillery shells to Russia through a total of 28,000 containers. If these shells are considered to be of 152 millimeter caliber, their total number will exceed 12 million. According to Kirill Budanov, head of Ukraine's military intelligence, nearly half of the large-caliber shells in the Russian army currently come from North Korea. The Russian government has not confirmed the purchase of weapons from North Korea in its official statement, but complaints about the shortage of shells noted at the beginning of the war are no longer being heard. Additionally, a military cooperation agreement was signed between Moscow and Pyongyang in 2024. According to South Korean and Ukrainian intelligence services, Pyongyang is planning to send around 25,000 to 30,000 military products to Russia in the coming months. This could further expand the scope of international involvement in the war. These processes are having a significant impact on the military-political situation in the region.

The Falcon 9 rocket developed in America successfully launched into the sky again on July 13, carrying Israel's new generation communication satellite, Dror-1, into orbit. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This information was published by space.com. The rocket was scheduled to launch from the 40th launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida, and there were no delays in the launch schedule. The Dror-1 satellite was developed by the Israeli defense industry at the request of the country's government, with its main goal being to strengthen Israel's communication infrastructure and securely transmit information. This satellite is expected to operate for 15 years and is valued at approximately 200 million dollars. Dror-1 is intended not only for civilian communications but also for ensuring secure data transmission between government, military, and state services. The launch of this satellite serves to further enhance Israel's independence and technical capabilities in the global communication field. Additionally, in this flight, the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket was used for the 13th time, and after the flight, it successfully landed on the sea platform named "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean. This demonstrates SpaceX's strengthening of its reuse technology. Moreover, a few months ago in January, SpaceX also launched the Thuraya 4 satellite belonging to the UAE into space. This satellite is intended to provide mobile communication services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Experts believe that every mission carried out through SpaceX and Falcon 9 rockets not only achieves astronomical goals but also enhances modern information technology, defense capabilities, and geopolitical influence. The importance of new satellites in ensuring national security alongside data exchange in the modern world has been further proven by the example of Dror-1.

Relatively peaceful days in the Gaza Strip can also be catastrophic for children. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of an airstrike carried out in northern Gaza, 14-year-old Musab Dibs sustained serious injuries and is currently being treated in critical condition at the hospital. This tragedy occurred in early May, near a family tent in Gaza City. Although several people were injured due to the bomb explosion, Musab suffered the most severe injuries. A fragment from the explosion caused him to completely lose his ability to move. According to doctors, the boy's condition is very serious and requires constant medical supervision and special treatments to survive. However, there is a shortage of necessary medicines and medical equipment in the Gaza area. Musab's fate is a vivid example of the difficulties faced by peaceful citizens in Gaza, especially children. This situation once again highlights the urgent need for peace and assistance.

The demand for agricultural products grown in Uzbekistan is increasing in international markets. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In the first five months of 2025, the export volume from our country to Great Britain doubled. Especially in recent weeks, the delivery of Uzbek melons to the British market has been established. In the first ten days of July this year, 10 tons of melons were sent via the "Uzbekistan Airways" flight from Tashkent to London. These unique-tasting melons are generating great interest among British consumers. Additionally, this year the export of legumes, dried fruits, and various nuts – including raisins, cherries, chickpeas, mung beans, grapes, and apricot kernels – has also become more active. Currently, Uzbek products are being sold in major retail chains in Great Britain. According to experts, this trend is related to the growing attention to the agro-industrial sector, the quality of products meeting international standards, and the improvement of logistics routes. As a result, our national products are strengthening their position in the global market.

Some of the strangest wills in the world leave people astonished. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Some were written as jokes, while others reflect serious events. A shoemaker who lived in the city of Marseille, France, used very unusual words in his will. In a document consisting of 123 words, 94 of them were expressions that are difficult to articulate. The shortest will was written by a banker from London, consisting only of the phrase "I am completely broken." The longest will belongs to one of the founders of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, which stipulated that the inheritance would only be granted after all slaves were freed. A will written by the assistant of the famous physicist Niels Bohr was filled with scientific terms, requiring specialists to be involved for understanding. The largest sum was left by industrial magnate Henry Ford, who distributed 500 million dollars among 4,157 educational and charitable institutions. The most secret will belongs to billionaire Michel Rothschild, who strictly prohibited disclosing the amount of the inheritance, so his wealth remains unknown. Film producer and millionaire Roger Dorkas left his 65 million dollar fortune to his dog. He even prepared official documents for the dog as if it were a human. Interestingly, his wife was given only 1 cent. However, she was clever and married a dog named Maximilian, and after his death, all the wealth passed to her. This incident has amazed many and shows how unique wills can be in the world.

The original bag belonging to actress Jane Birkin, which inspired the creation of the famous Birkin model by the Hermès brand, was sold at a Sotheby's auction for 10.1 million dollars. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This amount is a record in the history of fashion and the bag has been recognized as the most expensive bag in the world. The Kun.uz website published this news.

According to Sotheby's, this bag was put up for sale in a 10-minute live auction with nine bidders participating and was sold for a high price. Made of black leather, this bag was specially designed for actress and singer Jane Birkin in 1985. While sitting next to Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a plane, Jane Birkin dropped her bag, spilling its contents on the floor. After this incident, she asked the Hermès chief to create larger and more comfortable bags for women. This request inspired Jean-Louis Dumas to create a new bag design. This prototype marked the beginning of a new era in Hermès history and later Birkin bags became a symbol of luxury. In 1994, Jane Birkin put this bag up for auction for the benefit of a charity organization dedicated to the fight against AIDS. Sotheby's representative Morgan Halimi emphasized that this price clearly reflects the legendary history of the bag and the interest in its unique heritage. According to him, this bag is considered the starting point of a modern legend and it is precisely because of this bag that it has become the most desired accessory in the fashion world.

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.

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.
