The forward of Madrid's "Real" team, Endrik, is attracting interest from five different European clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Italy's "Juventus" and "Milan" clubs want to loan the Brazilian player until the end of the current season. Additionally, Germany's "RB Leipzig" and "Bayer" clubs, as well as Spain's "Villarreal" team, are also planning to add Endrik to their squad, journalist Ekrem Konur reports.

According to some sources, the Madrid club is ready to temporarily loan the young player to another club for game practice, but there are also reports that there is an intention to keep the 18-year-old forward in the team. Endrik transferred from "Palmeiras" to "Real" last summer. He played a total of 37 matches in the 2024/25 season, scoring seven goals and providing one assist. The player's performance is crucial for the team, and decisions regarding his future will be made in the coming days.

Juventus is not planning to negotiate with Barcelona central defender Ronald Araujo. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Until the middle of this month, the Uruguayan player's contract includes a release clause of 65 million euros. Journalists Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano report that Juventus does not want to pursue Araujo and is not conducting any negotiations regarding his transfer. The "Old Lady" team does not consider the central defender of the "sine-granat" team a priority target. Although Ronald Araujo attracted interest from Juventus in January, at that time he preferred to sign a new long-term contract with Barcelona. Rumors about the 26-year-old player's move to Turin in June have resurfaced. However, currently, there are no official negotiations regarding this transfer, and there is no agreement between the teams. Thus, Araujo remains not among Juventus' current transfer targets.

A tragic incident occurred in Karachi, one of the largest cities in Pakistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The five-story residential building located in the Liaquatabad area suddenly collapsed on July 4. According to official information, the number of casualties has reached 17. The incident has raised great concern and sorrow throughout the country and among the local population. Immediately, state rescue services and police were mobilized in response to the situation. More than 100 rescuers and service personnel are tirelessly working to search for those trapped under the rubble. Special equipment is being used to check for any survivors. So far, approximately 10 people have been identified with signs of life. However, there are warnings that the number of victims may increase. According to witnesses, strong tremors similar to an earthquake were felt several hours before the building collapsed. However, the local population did not take this seriously, thinking it was an earthquake. Additionally, the local administration and special services had warned several times about evacuating the building, but many residents did not leave their homes. Karachi Mayor Murtoza Wahab emphasized that this building had previously been recognized as dangerous and residents were instructed to relocate. Investigative authorities have begun to examine the causes of the tragedy, and nearby buildings are being inspected for safety. This incident once again highlighted the need for improved construction quality, adequate oversight, and increased attention to citizens' safety in the city. Currently, the entire city population expresses sympathy for the victims and their families. Rescue operations are still ongoing.

The head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Mareska, expressed his thoughts on the lack of an effective central striker in the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to many, the Blues need a reliable striker who can consistently score goals. However, the Italian specialist does not fully agree with this opinion. He stated that having five strikers in the team, each capable of scoring 10-12 goals throughout the season, is preferable to having one striker who scores 40 goals. According to Mareska, the team's forwards are expected to start scoring more goals in the new season. Recently, Chelsea purchased striker Joao Pedro from Brighton in England, and previously, Liam Delap joined the team from Ipswich. These transfers are aimed at strengthening the team's attacking line. Mareska emphasized the importance of increasing the overall attacking potential of the team and stated that he is in favor of not relying on individual stars. He also noted the significance of players working together and achieving success through team play. The team is preparing for the new season, and all players are striving to fulfill their roles completely. At the same time, the coach is paying special attention to ensuring a balance between the team's defense and attack. Overall, Chelsea aims to score more goals and achieve better results in the new season.

The head coach of Madrid's "Real" team, Xabi Alonso, expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance in the final minutes of the match against Dortmund's "Borussia" in the quarter-finals of the World Club Championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The "Kings" team maintained a 2:0 lead and held the advantage until the added minutes after the main time. However, the team struggled to keep the game calm and secure the victory. The Dortmund players managed to score in the 92nd and 98th minutes. Additionally, a goal scored by Kylian Mbappe in the 94th minute did not allow "Real" to recover. Xabi Alonso and his assistants are angry about the situation in the final stages of the game. The coaching staff believes that the team lost focus and let the game slip out of control. This led to the emergence of problems. Alonso advised the players to be as alert and focused as possible in the upcoming semi-final match against "PSG". He requested that the team play with full attention.

The People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan has recently firmly demanded the cancellation of taxi service regulations that they believe are unconstitutional. This was reported by Upl.uz. The National Information Agency UzA reported on this matter. The party faction called the Minister of Transport to the Supreme Assembly and requested explanations on this issue. This situation indicates serious disagreements on the matter. The restrictions imposed on the operation of route taxis in Tashkent have led to various opinions among the public. The party emphasized that these restrictions are contrary to legislation and stated that there are no legal grounds for their implementation. Furthermore, the People's Democratic Party's statement noted, "These regulations contain aspects that clearly contradict constitutional norms." It is worth mentioning that previously, taxi services were banned in other regions of Uzbekistan.

The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, signed a decree on June 26, 2025, regarding the measures for the implementation of modern services by the Treasury Service Committee under the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the off-budget Pension Fund. This was reported by Upl.uz. The press service of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan announced this.

From December 1, 2026, the following innovations are expected in the pension system: - the "My Pension" online service will be launched. This service will allow citizens to know the amount of their future pension in advance. This will be based on electronic data regarding work experience and salary; - pension services will be fully transitioned to an active, electronic, and interactive format.

The German automotive giant Volkswagen has announced its plans to enter the Uzbekistan market. This was reported by Upl.uz. Martin Sander, a member of the company's management, stated in his LinkedIn post that he is responsible for sales, marketing, and after-sales services, and announced that Volkswagen is planning to establish large-scale vehicle assembly production in Uzbekistan in collaboration with Alyans Auto. Alyans Auto is part of "Uzavtosanoat," and a contract has already been signed between the parties. This is considered an important step for the German car manufacturer. According to Sanders, Volkswagen aims to offer eight different sedan models to the Uzbekistan market. This is part of the company's strategy to expand into new markets. The Volkswagen brand is attracting the attention of the middle class in the country, who are interested in quality German cars. The company's products meet the demands of local car enthusiasts for reliability and modern technologies. Representatives of "Uzavtosanoat" announced that production is planned to start in the last quarter of 2025. This will ensure the prompt delivery of vehicles to the local market. Initially, Volkswagen intended to enter the Uzbekistan market through its division in Russia, but these plans changed after the events of 2022. Previously, it was planned to establish car assembly in the "Jizzakh" free economic zone, but now the project will be implemented in collaboration with Alyans Auto. Volkswagen was founded in 1937 and is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world. The company is known for its popular models such as Golf, Passat, and Beetle. The Audi, Porsche, and Skoda brands are also part of the Volkswagen group. Entering the Uzbekistan market will be crucial for strengthening the company's position in Central Asia, as the demand for cars in this region is increasing. Uzbekistan is actively developing its automotive industry, and by 2025, several large enterprises assembling passenger and commercial vehicles will be operating in the country. Collaboration with Volkswagen is expected to further strengthen Uzbekistan's position as a regional automotive industry center.

The midfielder of Madrid's "Real" team, Aurelien Tchuameni, shared his thoughts about his future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He has been defending the honor of "Real" for three years. During this time, he has played 145 matches for the team, scored five goals, and provided six assists. According to Tchuameni, he wants to end his career at the highest peak, hoping that it will be at the world's largest club like "Real."

Before Madrid, Tchuameni played in France for "Monaco" and "Bordeaux." His career and future are being closely followed by many fans.

New technologies are being implemented in Uzbekistan to address issues related to administrative fines. This was reported by Upl.uz. This was announced at a recent press conference held by the Road Traffic Safety Service under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The new system analyzes fines imposed by traffic police officers using artificial intelligence. Sometimes such fines are imposed incorrectly, leading to discontent among drivers. The main task of the new system is to verify the legality of the fines issued to drivers. Artificial intelligence helps identify cases of incorrectly imposed fines, such as errors due to incorrect data entry or human factors caused by officers. This process ensures that fines are fair and transparent. It was emphasized at the press conference that the new technology will reduce contentious cases and increase citizens' trust in law enforcement agencies. According to representatives of the ministry, the system works as follows: information about fines issued by the traffic police is uploaded to a special system. Artificial intelligence compares this information with recordings from video surveillance cameras and other sources to determine whether the fine is justified or unjustified. If discrepancies are found, the case is sent for further investigation. This approach reduces the number of errors and simplifies the process for drivers to appeal fines. The implementation of artificial intelligence is part of the digitization program of the activities of internal affairs agencies. It was stated at the press conference that technologies are currently actively used in areas such as analyzing road traffic conditions and preventing accidents. Now they will also be used to resolve disputes related to administrative fines. This is especially important because many drivers are complaining about unfair fines that arise due to technical malfunctions or negligence of officers. The video recording system for traffic violations has been developing in Uzbekistan for several years. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in 2024, over 1.5 million violations were detected with the help of cameras, but approximately 10 percent of them were appealed by drivers due to existing errors. This system is currently in the testing phase, and full implementation is planned in the coming months, although specific dates have not yet been announced. In the future, the use of artificial intelligence will not only help reduce the number of errors but also speed up the process of reviewing complaints. As a result, drivers will be able to appeal fines without spending much time, allowing law enforcement officers to focus on other important tasks.

The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted a decision No. PQ-209 on July 1, 2025. This was reported by Upl.uz. This decision outlines measures to enhance the effectiveness of the education system at the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction and to integrate scientific research with practice. The press service of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan provided information about the decision. The document establishes the foundations for reforms aimed at fundamentally improving the quality of training specialists in the fields of architecture and construction. As criteria for the university's effectiveness, it is envisaged to harmonize the educational process with practice and to develop a program for exporting scientific potential, aiming to establish the university brand by the end of 2028 and attract at least 1,000 foreign students. Starting from the 2025/2026 academic year, the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction will transition to a full dual education system. This education will be organized on a credit-module basis, closely linking the educational process with enterprises in the construction sector. For first-year students, 60 percent of theoretical education will take place in classrooms, while 40 percent of practical training will occur at enterprises. In the second, third, and fourth years, theoretical education will constitute 40 percent, and practical training will make up 60 percent. One of the main goals is to include the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction among the top 1,000 universities in the world according to QS and THE rankings by 2029. At least 10 million US dollars will be attracted for extensive reforms. These funds will be directed towards modernizing the university's material and technical base, equipping laboratories with modern equipment, and financing advanced scientific research. Additionally, a continuous education pathway of "School – Technical School – University" will be established. Starting from September 1, 2025, schools No. 250 and 273 in the Yunusabad district will be affiliated with the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction. Monthly special classes will be held in the university laboratories for students in grades 7-9. These classes will focus on geometry, drawing, and physics, directing them towards architecture, engineering, and artificial intelligence technologies. At the same time, students from profile technical schools and lyceums will also be assigned to departments and will participate in regular practical training. To encourage scientific and innovative activities, an "University – Laboratory – Enterprise – Ministry" ecosystem will be implemented. Every year, a competition for the "20 best ideas" will be held among students and young scientists. Winners will have the opportunity to implement their projects in the university's modern laboratories. Research results will be presented at a scientific-technical council with the participation of business representatives, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will test them in real construction projects. Authors of developments successfully implemented in production will be rewarded based on a counting value of 35 basic calculation amounts (approximately 13,125,000 soums). Additionally, based on the most effective projects, the Ministry of Construction and Communal Services will have the right to improve existing regulatory documents. A council will be established to introduce "green construction" subjects and technologies at the university. Its activities will focus on adapting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly construction materials and technologies to regional conditions, as well as developing standards and models for urban area improvement. Management and educational processes at the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction will be fully digitized. The circulation of paper documents will be eliminated. Artificial intelligence will be widely used in evaluating educational programs and the effectiveness of practical training. The salary system for teachers will also be automated, ensuring precise analysis of performance indicators and minimizing human factors. Additionally, starting from the 2025/

On June 13, 2024, a car number was sold for a large amount in Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz. According to UPL correspondent, the number was put up for sale through an online auction. A citizen living in Tashkent region purchased the number 10 777 ZZZ for his car. The starting sale price was 187 million 500 thousand soums, while the final price reached 1 billion 638 million soums. This case shows that the value of car numbers is increasing. Additionally, the opportunity to purchase unique numbers through online auctions is expanding. Such numbers provide car owners with uniqueness and prestige. The sales process was conducted transparently and legally. In the future, the trade of car numbers is expected to develop further.

In recent days, new tensions have emerged in the relations between Azerbaijan and Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In previous years, cooperation and trade relations between the two countries were strong, but recent events have led to a sharp deterioration in their relations. For a long time, Russia has tried to exert influence on Azerbaijan not only economically but also politically. However, during a large-scale raid recently conducted in Yekaterinburg, more than 50 Azerbaijani citizens were detained, further complicating relations between the two countries. In this process, two people were killed, and several others were seriously injured. Azerbaijani officials are demanding that the Russian government conduct a full investigation into this incident, hold those responsible accountable, and compensate the victims' families. Additionally, the detention of two individuals during a raid at the "Sputnik Azerbaijan" office has further strained relations. The Azerbaijani side attempted to label the detainees as agents of Russian special services, while Russia, in turn, detained individuals belonging to the Azerbaijani diaspora. Diplomatic negotiations and disputes are ongoing. Russian officials referred to Baku's criticisms as a "demarche." Analysts believe that Azerbaijan is now striving to break free from Moscow's influence and strengthen its position as an independent and powerful state on the international stage. One of the factors that has heightened tensions is the aviation accident that occurred near the city of Aktobe in Kazakhstan in December 2024. An Embraer 190 aircraft belonging to Azerbaijan Airlines crashed, resulting in the deaths of many passengers and crew members. Following this incident, reports circulated that the aircraft was shot down by the Russian air defense system. This event negatively impacted relations between the two countries, leading even Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to cancel his planned visit to Russia. Economically, Russia is one of Azerbaijan's largest trading partners. In 2024, the mutual trade turnover amounted to $4.8 billion. While Russia exported $3.6 billion worth of goods to Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan imported $1.2 billion worth of goods from Russia. Russia is Azerbaijan's most important partner after Italy and Turkey, but Azerbaijan holds only a 0.6 percent share in the Russian economy. Experts say that if Russia closes its markets, Azerbaijan will be forced to seek new export routes, which could lead to economic difficulties and increased unemployment. At the same time, while Russia is under sanctions, Azerbaijan utilizes important transit routes for delivering oil and gas to Europe, as well as for supplying technical and industrial products. The "North-South" international transport corridor also aligns the interests of both countries. From a geopolitical perspective, Azerbaijan has increased its independence and freedom in foreign policy in recent years. As representatives of international analytical centers have noted, Baku is now acting not as a small state subordinate to Moscow, but as a strong state pursuing its independent policy. Azerbaijan openly criticizes Moscow and is ready to take necessary measures. Analysts believe that for Russia, relations with Azerbaijan are important not only in terms of trade but also politically, militarily, and transit-wise. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, is boldly stepping towards geopolitical freedom while seeking new markets and partnerships. At the same time, Moscow is trying to take various measures to maintain its influence, but independent states are striving to strengthen their policies. According to international analysts, although Baku and

Enzo Mareska, the head coach of the Chelsea team, commented on winger Noni Maduek. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. There are rumors about Maduek possibly moving to Arsenal. According to sources, both clubs are negotiating for the player, but they have not reached an agreement on the price. It is also said that he, being a player of the England national team, is showing interest in this transfer. According to Mareska, there has been a lot of talk about Maduek even before the previous match. He came on for half an hour in that match and performed well. The coach believes that Noni can benefit the team when needed. He hopes that the player can withstand the surrounding noise. Today, the Club World Cup semi-final match will take place. The match will start at 22:00 Moscow time. The teams will take the field to win this match and advance to the final. Mareska and the team are preparing seriously for the game and expect a good result.

The Main Department of Road Traffic Safety of the Republic of Uzbekistan provided detailed explanations regarding the procedure for restoring documents for individuals who have been deprived of their driver's licenses. This was reported by Upl.uz. This process consists of several mandatory stages, all aimed at confirming the driver's readiness to safely operate a vehicle again. After the deprivation period of the driver's license expires, the citizen must fulfill a series of requirements. First of all, they must undergo a medical examination, which determines their fitness to drive. In the next stage, it is necessary to attend special training courses to refresh knowledge of traffic rules and strengthen driving skills. In the final part of the process, successful completion of theoretical and practical exams is required. Only after these conditions are met will the driver's license be restored. Representatives of the main department noted that the procedure for restoring a driver's license is significantly different from cases of simple loss. In the case of a lost document, it is not necessary to retake the exams. In such a situation, the driver only needs to contact the relevant authorities, provide the necessary documents, and pay the state fee.

The head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Mareska, shared his thoughts on midfielder Moises Kaysedo. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The Ecuadorian player was unable to take the field against Palmeiras in the quarter-finals of the World Club Championship due to exceeding the number of yellow cards. Chelsea won this difficult match 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals. Today they will play against Fluminense, and Kaysedo has returned to the team. As Mareska emphasized, Moises is a very important player and has been one of the best players this season. At the same time, the team also has Romeo Lavia, and recently Andrey Santos joined the team. The coach is pleased with their performances, but having Kaysedo on the field will provide even more comfort. The match between Chelsea and Fluminense will start at 22:00 Moscow time.

Today, September 7, a rare astronomical event — a total lunar eclipse — will occur in the sky over Uzbekistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, this event will be clearly visible from all regions of our country. During the lunar eclipse, the surface of the Moon will be completely in the Earth's shadow.

The Turkish club is searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho. The "Canaries" management has shortlisted Tedesco's name, and the Italian specialist has expressed his readiness to take this position, according to the well-known journalist Nicolo Schira.
