As a result of an airstrike near a medical point located in the city of Dayr al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, at least 15 Palestinians were killed. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Among them are eight children and two women. The tragedy occurred while people were waiting in line to obtain nutritional supplements for children. According to information distributed by the hospital, many children and families are among the injured. Videos taken from the scene show doctors doing everything they can to assist the victims. Relatives of the deceased in the hospital morgue are weeping and wrapping them in white shrouds. Among the deceased are a pregnant woman named Manal and her daughter Fatima. Manal's son is currently being treated in the intensive care unit. A relative stated that they do not know what happened during the incident, emphasizing that this event is a great tragedy for everyone. The Israeli Defense Forces explained that the strike targeted a member of Hamas's elite division. However, images and testimonies from the scene contradict this statement, confirming that among the deceased are not only combatants but also ordinary civilians, including children and women. Currently, peace negotiations are ongoing in the Qatari capital, Doha. There are hopes for a new ceasefire agreement mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. US officials say that an agreement could be reached within two weeks. Israel has stated that Hamas must renounce its weapons during the ceasefire. Otherwise, military operations will continue. Hamas emphasizes that negotiations are difficult and that the main demand is to stop the war. In response to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel's military campaign has caused significant harm to the population of Gaza. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, since the beginning of the war, at least over 57,000 Palestinians have been killed. Most of them are women and children. The majority of the population of Gaza has been displaced, and a large portion of housing has been destroyed. The failure of water, medicine, food, and sanitation systems has further exacerbated the crisis. The attack in Dayr al-Balah once again highlighted the catastrophe in Gaza. People waiting for children's food are being killed in airstrikes. Pregnant women are living in danger. These events are testing not only one nation but the conscience of all humanity. In Gaza, children are not weapons; they are the greatest victims of war. They have never participated in battles, yet they always remain the first casualties. Instead of peace, fire reigns.

The Dinamo team is unexpectedly instilling confidence. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This confidence arises not from closing one’s eyes, following the usual course, or due to old memories, but because there are clear evidences on the field. In the Bratsk Cup, the "white-blue" team achieved two different victories: one in terms of score, the other in terms of game quality. But is the situation of the Moscow club really that good? Karapin's dual role Karapin is back in Moscow, but this time he is working not with "Spartak," but with "Dinamo." This could be a sign of a political conflict arising in the Russian championship. The leaders of "Zenit," "Spartak," and "Lokomotiv" are worried about this situation, discussing conflicts of interest from the sidelines. Officially, Karapin has the right, but in practice, this brings significant benefits to "Dinamo." He has the opportunity to join the main team, understands the opponents better, and gains the trust of players who dream of being called up to the national team. Karapin takes this with humor: “Should we put on the candles? We will,” he says. This irony serves as his defense, and the pressure continues to mount. Especially if the national team faces difficulties and "Dinamo" grows, the political tension will increase. Test with the Serbian team The 4:0 victory against OFK was an expected result, but at the beginning of the game, "Dinamo" was in danger twice. Goalkeeper Lunev stopped the opponent in two situations. However, there are still problems in defense. The defense was weak during the previous coach Martsel Lichka's era. Karapin found a temporary solution through Osipenko. This transfer was very successful: Osipenko scored in his debut and showed that he has completely adapted to the team. The situation was more complicated in the game against Partizan. Although the score was 3:1, the first half raised concerns. Vanja Dragovich closed Fomin and was the cause of Miloshevich's goal. In such situations, Karapin would have faced harsh criticism in the Russian championship. But the team responded: Fomin corrected his mistake, and young player Stepanov, despite being only 16 years old, scored after Bokov's passes. The youth are not afraid, this is Karapin's legacy. Situations outside the game Gladyshev and Bitello are considered the main drivers of the new "Dinamo." Yaroslav looks like the first version of the future Arshavin. If he does not burn out, he could be the best striker this season. Bitello, in terms of style, is unmatched in the championship. His pass to Osipenko teaches the geometry of the field. However, there are also problems. These are not visionary "lashes." The right wing is disorganized in the absence of Tyukavin, the left wing is weak, there are problems in converting opportunities, and the level of physical preparation is low. Karapin needs to take these situations seriously. Sergeev, Karraskal, and major transfers Karraskal is planned to be sold three times, but he is still participating in training. "Dinamo" demands 14 million euros as a one-time payment, which is a firm and important position. "Flamengo" is still trying to lower the price during the trade, but Karaskal is needed until September, by which time Tyukavin is expected to recover and Sergeev to join the team. Acquiring Sergeev is logical, but not a revolutionary step. He is an experienced striker, but after the disagreement with "Spartak," it is questionable whether he dreamed of going to the "white-blues." Karapin is a determined and humorous coach, attracting players layer by layer. "Dinamo" is growing before our eyes. The team is finally showing a systematic game. Coach

Midfielder Jedson Fernandes will not join the "Spartak" team during the summer transfer window. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Journalist Andrey Pankov announced this on his Telegram channel. According to Pankov, Jedson will not be at "Spartak" because he has offers from five high-level championship teams. Additionally, a representative of the "Besiktas" club has held direct negotiations regarding Jedson's transfer. At the same time, the journalist noted that in the coming days, attacking midfielder Mixyel Vlapp from the "Tvente" team is expected to move to "Spartak". There is not much time left until the start of the new season of the Russian Premier League. "Spartak" will face the "Dinamo" team from Makhachkala in the first round. This match will take place on July 19, Saturday. Thus, the "Spartak" team is actively working to strengthen the squad during the summer transfer window, but the agreement with Jedson Fernandes did not materialize, and efforts to attract new players to fill his position continue.

Arsenal continues to work on strengthening its squad. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. On Thursday, the London club announced that it has signed midfielder Kristian Norgor. The terms of the contract have not been disclosed. Norgor will wear the number 16 jersey for Arsenal. The 31-year-old Norgor has moved to Arsenal from Brentford. He played for this team for six seasons. During his time at Brentford, Norgor appeared in 196 matches, scoring 13 goals and providing 18 assists. According to media reports, Arsenal paid approximately 11.5 million euros to acquire Norgor. Kristian Norgor is a player of the Denmark national team.

Norgor is expected to quickly adapt to the team and show himself positively. Arsenal fans hope that the new player will be supported and contribute to the team's successes.

A new political investigation has begun in the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. An official criminal case has been opened against former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey. This case is related to Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election and the violations that arose during the investigation process. According to reports, CIA director John Ratcliffe presented documents regarding Brennan's potential violations to FBI director Kesh Patel. In particular, there are suspicions that Brennan lied before Congress. No specific details regarding James Comey have been disclosed yet, but sources are evaluating this case as a political conspiracy. The main debate surrounding Brennan's activities is that he provided intelligence information in 2017 regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's support for Republican candidate Donald Trump, thereby helping Hillary Clinton's defeat. John Ratcliffe firmly rejected these conclusions in his report and emphasized the baselessness of the accusations. Currently, no legal decision has been made regarding the accusations. The New York Times has reported that it is currently unknown whether the investigation will reach the courts. U.S. President Donald Trump also commented on this issue. On July 9, he told reporters that he had no information other than what was reported in the press regarding the investigation. He also stated that he considers Brennan and Comey to be unworthy, negative individuals and emphasized that they could be punished. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed her satisfaction with the start of the investigation in an interview with Fox News. This investigation is generating significant political resonance. The issue of Russia's interference in the 2016 elections has been investigated many times before. The investigation led by special prosecutor Robert Mueller confirmed Russia's interference, but it was not determined that there was collusion with Donald Trump and his campaign. In 2018, St. Petersburg businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin and 12 individuals associated with the "troll factory" were accused of interfering in the 2016 elections. Prigozhin later admitted to organizing the "troll factory," having initially denied it. Time will show how events will develop. This investigation related to the American political elite is causing widespread discussions in society and may pave the way for new political debates. The final decisions and outcomes of the case remain in the attention of the global public.

The Swiss club lost 2:5 to the "blue-white-blue" team. Kololli emphasized that many mistakes were made during the match. According to him, the first two goals were gifted, and "Zenit" as a strong team capitalizes on every opportunity. Any mistake harms the team. They conceded three to four goals due to errors they created themselves. Kololli expressed these thoughts in an interview with the "Match TV" channel. In the next friendly match, "Zenit" will face Serbia's "Vojvodina." This game will start on July 13, Sunday, at 19:30 Moscow time.

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.
