According to virologist Jon Lednik from the University of Florida, Pepper has once again brought home a field mouse. The discovery of a new virus in this mouse is of great significance to researchers. In previous studies, a virus belonging to the Jeylongvirus group was found in a mouse brought by Pepper.

Information is provided about the main transfer news of the past week. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Rumors about transfers and completed moves have significantly increased. The website "Evro-futbol.ru" summarized the results of the past work week in the world of football scouts and agents. The most interesting news and completed transfers are included in this review. In the Russian Premier League, the "Spartak" team signed a contract with only one free agent, Anton Zabolotniy, before the season. According to the matches, it seems difficult for the team to be strong competitors for the championship, so the "red-whites" are actively working in the transfer market. The player closest to moving to the Moscow team is defender Saul Koko from Equatorial Guinea. He currently plays for "Torino" and is not particularly eager to move to Russia, but the club has shown interest. The Turin club is demanding at least 15 million euros for the defender, but negotiations are ongoing. A three-year contract has been offered to Koko, aimed at convincing the defender to leave Italy. At the same time, many rumors are circulating, but Mourinyo from "Alaves" and Adli from "Milan" will not participate in "Spartak". Bakhtiyor Zayniddinov is also ready to decline. The "red-white" team wants to buy two players from "Besiktas" – Zayniddinov and Jerson. Negotiations are being conducted in Turkey by Kaxigao. However, the Kazakh and Brazilian players are not in a hurry to move to the Moscow team, perhaps they are looking for the necessary amount to be convinced. The "Portu" club has offered "Spartak" their midfielder Xaymeni. The Spanish player is ready to play in Russia, but the appropriateness of the transfer is being studied by the team coaches. The CSKA team has bought Mateus Alves, one of Brazil's most talented players. The Brazilian press emphasizes his high abilities. For this transfer, 6 million euros and a 25 percent share from the next sale were paid. The 20-year-old player has futsal experience and good technique. Now the main question is whether he can prove himself in the Russian Premier League. The "Sochi" team is active in transfers from "Spartak" and is strengthening for the RPL. Anton Zinkovskiy has been loaned, but the "red-white" team will pay 15 percent of his salary. Mikhail Ignatov moved south as a free agent. Roman Ezhov previously played for "Kryl’ya Sovetov". Additionally, "Sochi" has loaned Dmitriy Vasilyev from "Zenit", returned Saul Guarirapani from CSKA, and is planning to loan Maksim Mukhinn as well. Interesting transfers are also taking place in foreign championships. For example, 27-year-old defender Teo Hernandez moved from Italy to Saudi Arabia's "Al-Hilal" club for 25 million euros. He is a member of the French national team and recently played for "Milan". Although "Milan" did not make a large profit from this transfer, the player left for Saudi Arabia in his prime years. His salary has not been disclosed, perhaps this will be revealed later. Also, 31-year-old Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes left "Roma" and returned to his former club "Boca Juniors". The transfer amount was only 300 thousand euros. More than 50 thousand fans attended his presentation ceremony. Paredes actively played for the "Boca" team from 2010 to 2013. Overall, the transfer market has many interesting changes

After losing 0:4 to PSG in the semifinals of the World Club Championship, Real Madrid made serious conclusions. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Marca, the Madrid club has returned to the central defender market. Among the current central defenders, only the newly added Din Huyssen is showing reliable performance. If Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asensio made mistakes, David Alaba has been injured. Real is focused on Liverpool player Ibrahima Konate, but acquiring him in the summer may be difficult. The French player has the possibility of coming to Madrid as a free agent within a year. The club is exploring opportunities in the market, but it is unclear if a contract will be signed with anyone. Thus, Real is looking for new options to strengthen their defense line.

Starting from August 1, 2025, in Uzbekistan, payments for waste collection services will be linked to electricity payments. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the new regulation, if residents and subscribers do not pay their debts for waste services on time, they will also be unable to make payments for electricity. The Agency for Waste Management and Circular Economy Development provided official information about this change. This system will be implemented for waste debts that arise after July 1, 2025, starting from August 1. Thus, unpaid old debts until June 30, 2025, will not fall under the new regulation. According to the new law, by the third day of each month, information about delinquent subscribers for waste services will be sent from the "Clean Space" electronic billing system to the system of "Regional Electric Networks" JSC. After that, on the fifth day, debtors will receive an SMS notification via the short number 2100 without delay. After the SMS is sent, citizens will be given an additional five-day grace period. If the debt is not paid within this period, the ability to make payments for electricity will be temporarily restricted. Once the debt is paid, this restriction will be automatically lifted. This regulation aims to enhance discipline in waste service payments. Companies providing sanitation services will be responsible for accuracy and fairness in calculating payments. If the service is not provided on time, unfair payments will not be collected from citizens. The agency also reminded the public that proposals and complaints regarding waste services can be submitted 24 hours a day via the short number "1205". This allows citizens to report their issues while also having the opportunity to monitor service quality. In conclusion, the new regulation encourages the public to make timely payments for waste. This will not only help clean the environment but also strengthen economic discipline. Every payment made is a step towards a clean and sustainable environment

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. He had entrusted the collection to a trusted person. For a while, Habibi also lived in his house. While Davids believed the collection was kept in a safe place, Habibi stole 37 paintings, pawned them at various pawnshops, and received approximately 30 thousand euros.

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.

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.

These events are of great importance for improving professional qualifications and further developing the field.
