On Friday, it was announced that the executive committee of the Russian Football Union decided to keep the "Orenburg" club in the top division. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to this decision, the "Orenburg" club will take the place of the "Torpedo" team. The "Torpedo" team was disqualified from the competition for attempting to organize fixed matches. In this regard, the "Ural" club expressed its opinion on the decision of the Russian Football Union. The club published a photo on its official page showing a team player with a tired expression during training. With the question "Are you serious?", "Ural" expressed its dissatisfaction. It is worth noting that the "Ural" club fought to return to the Russian Premier League in the spring season but missed the opportunity against "Akhmat" in the playoff matches. Meanwhile, "Orenburg" had directly dropped from the top division and finished in 15th place. These events have led to significant changes in Russian football.

Football expert Alexander Tochilin's exclusive interview was presented to the online publication "Euro-Football.Ru". This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He expressed his opinion on the situation regarding the exclusion of the "Torpedo" team from the Russian Premier League (RPL). Tochilin stated that he does not know exactly where the Russian Football Union's (RFI) decision came from, as there are currently no official evidence. The investigation process is still ongoing. However, if the RFI has taken such a step, it means they have information that may be confirmed later. Their main goal is to protect the national championship from falling into a more complicated situation. If the club is guilty, it has the right to be punished. It is a positive development that actions have begun in this regard, indicating a desire to clean up our football. Reports have circulated in the media that "Torpedo" CEO Valery Skorodumov stated that 12 referees were bribed by law enforcement agencies. The expert emphasized that this information is currently just words, and evidence is needed for every claim. Perhaps, in the future, the names of other individuals related to the referee corps may also be revealed. Tochilin mentioned that there have been rumors about such situations before, and now evidence is starting to emerge. If bribery is proven, someone among the organizers of the competitions must be held accountable. There must be individuals who take responsibility for the referees. If the referees made mistakes and are later re-employed, there should also be those who are responsible for that. For the expert, the exclusion of "Torpedo" from the RPL is not an unexpected event, but the fact that the club may be punished despite the lack of official evidence worries him. Perhaps, in the end, all accusations will be dismissed, but the club will suffer. This will unjustly affect the players, coaches, and fans. It is a regrettable situation for a team with history and its fans.

An important event is about to unfold in the American political arena. This was reported by Zamin.uz. President Donald Trump announced in an interview with NBC News that he will soon make a significant statement regarding Russia. He emphasized that discontent towards Russia is growing and the situation may change drastically in the near future. Trump stated that he will make an important statement related to Russia in the next week or two, especially on July 14. These words have sparked widespread discussions in America and the international community, as the statement could potentially affect the geopolitical balance. The president also addressed the issue of military aid to Ukraine. According to him, there is a new agreement between the U.S. and NATO. American weapons will first be sent to NATO, and then the alliance will deliver them to Ukraine, with full payment made to the U.S. for this. Trump said that this process will be conducted clearly and transparently. Furthermore, the president emphasized that he will make the final decision regarding new sanctions against Russia himself. Congress is working on a bill regarding sanctions, but the final word belongs to Trump. This indicates that the increase or decrease of sanctions depends solely on the president's will. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also actively engaged in foreign policy. He announced that a meeting took place in Kuala Lumpur with a Russian delegation, where new proposals regarding Ukraine were discussed. Although details were not disclosed, it was clarified that a "roadmap" was mentioned.

As time passes, political disputes and new initiatives will become some of the most important events of the summer.

Former Moscow “Spartak” football player Valery Kechinov commented on the activities of the “red-white” team's sports director Francis Kahigao. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He noted that it is currently difficult to offer a high-level football player to Russia. There is no point in attracting a player of medium level, but weaker than our players.

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. 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.

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.
