Russian blogger and athlete Asxab Tamaev has come to Uzbekistan to work on a large-scale project. This was reported by Upl.uz. He aims to organize a car race with a prize pool of $500,000. This idea emerged a year ago as a result of Tamaev's famous race with an autoblogger named Venqalbi. This race attracted the attention of millions of viewers in the CIS countries. Tamaev is known for his thrilling car duels and had invited all racers in the region to challenge him. The first to respond to this invitation was Uzbek autoblogger Sanjik. Sanjik's videos and drift races made him popular among local car enthusiasts. He claimed that he could leave Tamaev's BMW M5 behind with his own car, and that is precisely why the Russian guest visited Uzbekistan. Upon arriving in Tashkent, Tamaev was welcomed with traditional Uzbek hospitality. Sanjik organized a tour to the famous Chorsu market, not only as a competitor but also as a friendly host. Here, Tamaev got acquainted with the local culture and tasted national dishes – delicious pilaf, sweet shashlik, and traditional kurt. Around the market, he met fans who recognized him and showed their support before the race. The bustling trade rows and rich food of Chorsu market were Tamaev's first introduction to Uzbek culture. The organization of a race with such a large prize pool has sparked interest not only among car enthusiasts but also among the local population. According to Sanjik, the competition will not only test speed but also showcase the skills of Uzbek racers. Tamaev emphasized that his BMW M5 is in good condition and expressed his readiness for serious competition. The exact date and location of the race have not yet been announced, but sources indicate that the organizers are negotiating with local authorities to ensure safety. Law enforcement agencies are expected to be involved to maintain order during the competition. Besides sports, Tamaev's visit to Uzbekistan also focused on cultural exchange. He strolled through Chorsu market and interacted with the local population, which became an informal part of his trip. The blogger highly appreciated the hospitality of the Uzbeks and noted that such meetings help to better understand the country. Sanjik pointed out that besides winning the race, it is important to show Tamaev the richness of Uzbek culture. Detailed information about the event, including the race route and participation conditions, is expected to be announced in the coming days. Chorsu market is considered one of the oldest markets in Central Asia, with a history of over a thousand years. It should be noted that Asxab Tamaev has a somewhat controversial reputation in his homeland. Previously, he was criticized for promoting betting companies and dubious projects.

The La Liga management is not inclined to satisfy the request of Madrid's "Real" team to postpone their first-round match against "Osasuna" to another date. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The game is scheduled for August 19. Representatives of the "Kings" want to postpone this match, as they emphasize that they will not be able to prepare adequately for the start of the championship due to their participation in the Club World Cup. According to El Larguero, La Liga is not planning to remove "Real's" first-round match from the schedule. One of the reasons for this is the maintenance of the mandatory three-week break between matches. The second reason is that the teams "PSG" and "Chelsea," which reached the semifinals of the Club World Cup, did not make such a request. In the semifinals of the Club World Cup, "Real" will play against "PSG." The match will take place on July 9. Thus, the "Real" team will have the opportunity for adequate preparation before the start of the championship and will participate in the initial round of the game.

A video of a man from Samarkand driving a VAZ-2106 car on the streets of the USA has gone viral on social media. This was reported by Upl.uz. The car was seen on American roads with Uzbek license plates. Users were surprised by this situation and sought to explain how the driver brought the car to the USA. Many speculate that the car may have been purchased from Cuba and that the plates were only installed for the video. It should be noted that citizens of Uzbekistan wish to work in the USA due to better conditions and higher incomes. However, many face difficulties in obtaining visas to this country. For this reason, the opportunity for Uzbeks to go to the USA for work is limited. This situation is widely discussed on social media, raising many questions.

In Uzbekistan, singer Feruza Karimova faced a lawsuit for using a poem without the author's permission. This was reported by Upl.uz. The case concerns the poem titled “Dod degim kelyapti dastingdan” written by poet Mahliyo Axrorova. Karimova created a song called “Dastingdan” based on this poem but did not obtain permission from Axrorova. The poet applied to the court to protect her rights. As a result, the case was resolved in favor of Axrorova, and the performer was fined a significant amount. The court's decision was announced by the Intellectual Property Department under the Ministry of Justice of Uzbekistan. According to the decision, the singer was obliged to pay 37.5 million soums for using the poem without permission and 5 million soums for moral damages. The total fine amounted to 41.5 million soums. This is not the first time the poet has encountered violations of her rights. Previously, a well-known performer in Uzbekistan, Avazbek Olimov, faced a similar situation. He performed Axrorova's poem “Guzal yorim” under the title “Sevar yorim” without agreeing with the author. The court decided to collect a fine of 170 million soums from Olimov. Later, according to the information provided by the poet to the media, Olimov paid her 5 thousand dollars, and they settled the remaining amount among themselves. In Uzbekistan, the law on copyright is clearly defined. Article 65 of the Republic's law states that the author has the right to demand compensation for damages. The amount of compensation can range from 20 to 1000 times the base calculation amount. These rules were created to protect the rights of creators and prevent the illegal use of their works. In recent years, the number of lawsuits related to copyright violations in Uzbekistan has increased by 15 percent. This indicates a rise in the level of legal literacy among creators.

An innovative Situational Monitoring Center equipped with advanced artificial intelligence technologies has started its operations in Tashkent city. This was reported by Upl.uz. The main goal of the center is to fundamentally improve road traffic conditions by analyzing and managing transport flows in the capital. This will significantly reduce traffic congestion and enhance road safety. The center performs tasks related to the digitization of road traffic safety, prevention of road traffic accidents, and forecasting of traffic jams. It was established in the updated administrative building of the road patrol service of the Tashkent city Department of Internal Affairs. The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan provided information about this. The center is based on an intelligent transport platform that allows for real-time monitoring, analysis, and effective management of transport flows. According to representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the implementation of this system will reduce traffic congestion by 50%, shorten the time passengers spend on the road, decrease the number of accidents, increase the response speed of emergency services, and improve decision-making efficiency based on accurate statistics. Additionally, 40 new Cobalt vehicles equipped for a unified system of operation for road patrol and patrol post services have been delivered. These vehicles are equipped with cameras that are directly connected to the center, transmitting information about wanted individuals, stolen vehicles, and other situations that pose a threat to public safety. The center has the capability to remotely control all cameras in the service vehicles.

A lion raised by hand in Lahore, Pakistan, went out of control and attacked a woman and her three young children. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This horrifying incident caused great concern and uproar in the city. The event that took place in the streets of the city frightened the local population, ending with the screams of children and people fleeing in panic. The video recorded by surveillance cameras shows the lion easily jumping over a wall and chasing a woman who was walking with her two children. The woman and the children fell under the paw and sustained serious injuries. According to official information, the injured woman and her five and seven-year-old children were hospitalized with severe injuries to their faces and hands. Their condition is currently assessed as stable. The police opened a criminal case against the owners of the lion after the incident. They were charged with keeping a wild animal without permission and endangering public safety through negligence. During the investigation, it was revealed that the lion was kept in the city in violation of the law and that its control was not adequately ensured. This incident sparked widespread discussions on social media. Relatives of the victims stated in interviews with the media that the lion owners did not provide any assistance during the incident and only watched. The video shows the woman falling and running towards people for help, but those around her scattered. In Pakistan, it is legally permitted to keep lions, leopards, tigers, and other wild animals as private property, but registration and payment of a specified fee are required for this. Additionally, such animals must be kept outside the city. The violation of this rule complicated the incident. The Punjab provincial government has begun large-scale raids against the illegal keeping of wild animals. So far, five individuals have been arrested and thirteen lions have been confiscated. Moreover, this incident is not the first. In January of this year, a famous blogger, Rajab Butt, was held accountable for keeping a lion cub without permission and was required to prepare videos on animal rights protection. These cases indicate that the culture of keeping wild animals at home is increasingly viewed as a symbol of prestige and status in the country. However, the events clearly show that they pose a significant threat to public safety. Therefore, it is essential to strictly adhere to the laws and regulations regarding the keeping of wild animals.

The famous Uzbek pop singer Dilfuza Ismoilova became a victim of a fraudster. This was reported by Upl.uz. The "Hudud" information program reported on this matter. It became known that the singer handed over nearly 80,000 US dollars to the fraudster. The fraudster woman participated in an Uzbek event called "G‘ap" alongside the singer. This event was held among friends and is based on a system where one participant collects money every month in turn. The woman claimed she would invest the money in business and promised profits. The singer's lawyer provided information that the woman had established trust with her client. The fraudster introduced herself as a businesswoman and stated that she would bring citrus fruits to Uzbekistan, claiming to earn 25-30 thousand dollars from each truckload. The singer was also promised profits for investing in this business. Currently, the case is being reviewed in the Uchtepa inter-district court for criminal matters. Not only the singer but also several other citizens have suffered from the actions of the fraudster. The court proceedings are ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are investigating the case. This incident serves as a reminder to people about the necessity of being cautious against fraud.

Maxim Galkin's tour announcement in German cities has sparked negative reactions among German audiences. This was reported by Upl.uz. Many believe that the artist's program is aimed only at Russian-speaking emigrants and Ukrainian refugees. Comments like “Your time has already passed. Why do you need to come here?” are increasing on social media, expressing local discontent. Many think that in the current situation, while Germany is facing internal issues, such entertainment events are inappropriate. The most criticized aspect is that concert tickets are purchased with funds provided to refugees by the government, which adds an extra burden to the country's budget for taxpayers. Additionally, Galkin's attempts to "assimilate" in the German environment are also being criticized. Some users emphasize that knowing the language does not mean he is “one of us.” Maxim Galkin left Russia in February 2022 and has been actively touring abroad since then. His performances often raise topics related to Russian politics, but to avoid legal issues, he prohibits any video recording at the concerts.

The blogger Kokow, who became popular in Uzbekistan, gained wide recognition through his short humorous videos. This was reported by Upl.uz. He underwent liposuction and abdominoplasty surgeries to change his appearance. However, the results of the operations differed significantly from expectations, leading to serious health issues. After the surgeries, necrosis, which is the death of cells, began in his tissues. This is a dangerous complication, and doctors performed three more surgical procedures to combat it. Nevertheless, the blogger could not fully recover and is currently undergoing a long-term treatment process. Doctors are continuously monitoring his health to improve his condition. This situation spread rapidly on social media. The first to report it was another blogger, Jasmina, and this topic sparked widespread discussions on the internet. Kokow used to regularly post new updates and videos, delighting his followers. However, after the unpleasant complications arose, he completely disappeared from online platforms. His fans noticed the halt in his activities and began to ask questions about what was happening. Later, news related to his health appeared on social networks. According to data from 2025, cases of necrosis after plastic surgeries occur worldwide between 1-3 percent. This is mainly due to circulatory disorders or infections. Therefore, it is essential to have highly qualified specialists and to adhere to safety measures when performing such operations.

The Ay Yola group, which originated from the city of Ufa, recorded a song called Homay and achieved great success in the world music charts. This was reported by Upl.uz. This song is performed entirely in the Bashkir language and was recently adapted into Uzbek. Currently, it holds the sixth position in the Shazam international chart, indicating its popularity. For comparison, Lady Gaga's performance of the song Abracadabra is in tenth place, while Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning song Not Like Us is in fifteenth place. Such success from a group originating from Ufa is considered a rare occurrence. The song Homay is created in the synthwave style, blending electronic motifs with national diversity. Its lyrics tell the story of the Humay bird, an important character in Bashkir epic poetry. This legendary bird is valued as a symbol of strength and magic, making the song particularly significant for listeners interested in culture. The Ay Yola group has succeeded in conveying this story to a global audience, even though the song is in Bashkir, a language that is not widely spoken. As of April 7, 2025, the Homay song continues to maintain high positions in the charts. Its translation into Uzbek has further increased the song's popularity. The synthwave genre is currently popular in many countries, which has helped this song reach beyond the borders of Russia. This success demonstrates that music in national languages can also find its way into the hearts of listeners worldwide, even if they do not understand the words. The Humay bird in Bashkir epic poetry symbolizes happiness and freedom, and its depiction is frequently found in folk tales.

The house located on the banks of the Istra River near Moscow belongs to the People's Artist of the USSR Alla Pugacheva. This was reported by Upl.uz. According to media reports, this property may be demolished due to non-compliance with construction regulations. Realtor Viktoriya Markova stated that the house was built very close to a water protection zone, which is considered a violation of the law. The expert noted that previously the authorities did not raise this issue, possibly due to the status of the property owner. However, the situation has changed now, and potential buyers are taking into account the risk of demolition when considering the purchase of the property. Markova also mentioned that interest from buyers has decreased due to legal issues. Additionally, the price of the house, listed for 152 million rubles, is considered by the realtor to be at least twice as high as it should be. The house is in need of serious repairs: the communications are outdated, the roof is leaking, and there is no centralized sewage system in the area. These factors also reduce the attractiveness of this property for buyers. According to Markova, in such a situation and considering the legal risks, the property does not match the advertised price. Buyers generally prefer houses without such problems. In Alla Pugacheva's house, it will be necessary to address not only the construction deficiencies but also the issues related to its location within the water protection zone.

Recently, the electricity supply in Tashkent city has been interrupted many times. This was reported by Upl.uz. Especially in the Yunusabad district, electricity is cut off almost every day. The regional electricity network organization has revealed the reasons for these outages. According to the organization, the power outages are mainly related to preparations for the autumn-winter season. Due to repair work being carried out in the areas, electricity supply is temporarily suspended for safety reasons. Additionally, the organization noted that some emergencies are also occurring due to abnormal heat. However, the residents of Tashkent are expressing dissatisfaction with the activities of the Ministry of Energy and other state bodies dealing with electricity supply. Along with frequent power outages, the voltage level in their homes is very low. So far, the leadership has not been seriously addressing this issue, resulting in the population suffering greatly during the hot summer days. For this reason, it is necessary for the responsible parties to resolve this issue as soon as possible. The continuous and quality supply of electricity is crucial for improving the quality of life of the population.
