A serious threat to human health continues in the Republic of Yemen. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In the country, cholera has gotten out of control and is widespread. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) office in Yemen, this disease is recognized as one of the most severe epidemics in world history. Currently, 96 percent of the country's territory is affected by cholera. From January to mid-July, more than 50,000 suspected infection cases have been recorded, and 149 patients have died. Doctors and medical specialists emphasize that airstrikes carried out by the United States and its partner countries, as well as the interruption of humanitarian aid, have made it difficult to provide effective medical assistance to patients. One-third of the hospitals in the country have been closed, and approximately 80 percent of the population relies on foreign aid, more than half of which comes from the United States. Due to infrastructure damage and a shortage of medicines, even cases requiring simple treatment are leading to severe consequences. Experts recommend that the population always use clean water, strictly observe personal hygiene rules, and immediately seek medical care if symptoms of the disease appear. These measures are crucial for preserving patients' health and reducing the spread of the epidemic. Thus, all necessary measures must be taken to protect the health of the population and prevent the cholera epidemic.

The system of receiving food in exchange for waste is expanding in India. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The "Waste Cafe" project opened in the city of Ambikapur is significantly changing the lifestyle of the population and the urban environment. This cafe does not charge guests money; instead, they are provided with a full meal or breakfast in exchange for the plastic waste they bring. This initiative serves to reduce plastic waste in the city and support low-income citizens. The rules of the project are simple: a person who brings one kilogram of plastic waste receives lunch consisting of rice, vegetables, curry, dal, roti, salad, and pickles. For half a kilogram of plastic, breakfast is provided. This system is not only a source of free food but also increases the population's interest in collecting waste. Launched in 2019, the "Waste Cafe" is funded by the city administration. During this time, more than 23 tons of plastic waste have been collected and effectively recycled. In 2019, 5.4 tons of plastic waste were sent to the landfill annually in the city, while in 2024 this figure has decreased to 2 tons. As a result, Ambikapur has become one of the cleanest cities in India. Even a 16-hectare landfill was closed and replaced by a park. Additionally, 480 women in the city go door-to-door collecting waste daily and earn a salary of 8-10 thousand rupees per month. At 20 special centers, waste is sorted into 60 categories and sent to plastic road construction or recycling enterprises. Wet waste is composted, while the rest is used as fuel in cement factories. The Ambikapur experience is also being applied in other cities. For example, in Siliguri city in West Bengal, food is provided in exchange for plastic. In Mulugu city of Telangana, one kilogram of plastic is exchanged for one kilogram of rice, and in Mysuru city of Karnataka, breakfast is provided for 500 grams of plastic. In Uttar Pradesh, hygienic products are distributed to women in exchange for plastic waste. Such a program is even being implemented in Cambodia. Experts believe that such initiatives play an important role in reducing the harm of the 400 million tons of plastic waste produced annually worldwide, as currently only 9 percent of plastic waste is recycled. In Uzbekistan, the waste problem is also urgent. In Tashkent city alone, more than 1.5 million tons of household waste are collected annually. Experts emphasize that if projects similar to the Ambikapur experience are introduced in our country, the ecological situation could improve and the population could become accustomed to sorting waste.

French President Emmanuel Macron's statement about sending troops to Ukraine is causing serious concern from the perspective of international security and is sparking widespread discussions in the global community. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This statement is raising significant alarm among political analysts and security experts. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the "Rise, France" party, described Macron's initiative on his social media page as a "dangerous provocation that could lead to a third world war." According to him, the French president is posing a serious threat not only to France but to the peace and security of the entire world by spending large amounts of the country's funds on an endless conflict. On September 4, at the "Coalition of Wills" meeting held in Paris, Macron announced that an agreement had been reached with 26 countries to provide security guarantees to Ukraine. Within the framework of this agreement, it is planned to involve land, sea, and air forces as well as military equipment. Political analysts emphasize that Macron's actions could increase uncertainties in European and global politics and pose a significant risk to peace and stability. This situation warns the international community and requires prompt diplomatic measures. Objective observers note that the policy of sending troops to Ukraine is likely to have negative consequences not only in military but also in economic and diplomatic spheres. Therefore, this initiative needs to be thoroughly studied and implemented with caution.

The latest report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) serves as a serious warning for humanity. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Currently, more than one billion people worldwide live with various levels of mental health problems. This number is not only alarming but also represents a major threat to the health of all humanity. According to WHO data, in 2021, over 400 million people aged 15 and older were harmed by the effects of alcohol. In 2022, more than 64 million people experienced mental disorders as a result of drug use. Additionally, nearly 57 million people suffer from dementia and more than 24 million people have epilepsy. Among the most common mental illnesses, anxiety and depression hold a special place. According to WHO data, these illnesses account for two-thirds of all psychiatric disorders. These problems are especially widespread among young people aged 20 to 29. This generation faces mental illnesses at a time when they should be the most active. The report notes that from 2011 to 2021, the number of mental illnesses increased faster than the global population growth. This indicates that the situation is worsening on a global scale. WHO emphasizes that suicide is the leading cause of death among young people. In 2021 alone, more than 727 thousand people lost their lives. Despite existing measures, the organization's estimates suggest that by 2030, this figure may only decrease by 12 percent. Mental disorders not only harm health but also cause significant economic damage. Every year, 12 billion workdays are lost due to this problem, resulting in an estimated annual loss of about 1 trillion dollars to the global economy. Most tragically, only 9 percent of those suffering from depression receive effective treatment, and 71 percent of those with psychosis do not get medical help. This situation leads to the intensification of the problem and an increase in difficulties in people's lives. Therefore, experts call on governments and societies to pay serious attention to mental health issues. Because this problem could negatively affect human progress in the future. Effective measures must be taken to strengthen mental health.

A 19-year-old student in China became paralyzed due to prolonged use of a smartphone. This was reported by Zamin.uz. A young man named Xiao Dun constantly kept his head down, staring at his phone, and did not disconnect from the device even during work hours. He worked at a restaurant in Fujian province and did not take his eyes off his phone even during breaks. Experts consider such cases as negative consequences of a technology-dependent lifestyle. Keeping the head bent down for a long time can harm the circulatory system and cause problems in the nerves and blood vessels. Examinations revealed that the student had strain in his neck area. This led to the formation of a blood clot in the blood vessels, restricting blood flow to the brain. As a result, Xiao Dun lost his ability to move and one day woke up completely paralyzed. Doctors assess his condition as serious. He is currently being treated in a hospital, with his health being restored through special therapy and physiotherapy exercises. Doctors emphasize the importance of learning from such cases. Warnings are being issued about the need for caution when using smartphones for extended periods.

The European Union has fined Google 2.95 billion euros for abusing its dominant position in the online advertising sector. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to BBC, the European Commission stated that Google gave preferential treatment to its own products and services in online advertising placement, violating competition laws. As a result, competitors suffered significant damage, and EU officials ordered the company to stop this practice. Additionally, Google was required to pay the fine, which amounts to approximately 3.5 billion US dollars. In a statement to the BBC, company representatives said they consider the decision incorrect and announced plans to appeal. They aim to have the matter reviewed within the legal framework. Former US President Donald Trump reacted sharply to the European Commission's decision on his social media platform. Trump emphasized that American taxpayers would not accept such a fine. He also stated that he plans to take retaliatory measures against Europe, including imposing trade tariffs. This situation could lead to new conflicts in the international internet market and competitive environment. The disagreement between the European Union and the United States may have an impact on the global economy and the technology sector.

Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty firmly rejected the forced displacement of Palestinians. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to him, this issue is an important and serious "red line" for Egypt and under no circumstances will it be allowed. Abdelatty emphasized that the forced displacement of the Palestinian people would lead to their complete disappearance. He also stated that such an action has no legal or moral basis. The Egyptian official accused Israel of attempting to eliminate the Palestinian people. According to him, there is a policy of mass killing of civilians in Gaza and deliberate starvation. This situation is worsening the conditions in the region and violating human rights. On the other hand, Israel denied these accusations and announced its attempt to defend itself. According to Gaza officials, more than 64,000 Palestinians have died since 2023, and a severe humanitarian crisis has emerged in the area. This has attracted the attention of the international community and demands a swift resolution of the situation.

Leaders of major European countries expressed serious concern about the possibility of a new Russian military attack during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Bloomberg agency, at last week's Security Council meeting held in the French city of Toulon, representatives from Germany and France discussed in detail the gathering of Russian troops near Pokrovsk in the eastern part of Donetsk region. Zelenskyy also recently stated that Russia has directed nearly 100,000 military personnel to the front line around Pokrovsk. Sources indicate that Moscow's forces have been attempting to besiege and gain control of this area for over a year. Capturing Pokrovsk could open the way for Russia to major centers such as Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, which is directly linked to the Kremlin's goal of establishing full dominance over Donetsk region, it is emphasized. The article states that Russia's strong offensives carried out in the summer did not yield the expected results. Moscow's troops advanced slowly, occupying only 2,033 square kilometers in May and August, which constitutes just 0.3 percent of Ukraine's territory. Therefore, as European leaders exchange views with Kyiv on security guarantees, the situation on the front and Russia's potential actions have become their main concern. It was noted that these issues are of significant importance for peace and stability in the region.

The German government is preparing to present new proposals to ensure Ukraine's security at the "Coalition of Volunteers" meeting to be held in Paris. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the weekly magazine Der Spiegel and the AFP news agency, German Chancellor Friedrich Mers will participate in the meeting via videoconference and discuss a plan to strengthen Ukraine's security in the post-war period. According to the information, the main focus will be on enhancing Ukraine's air defense and offensive military capabilities. It is also emphasized that Mers's package of proposals does not include plans to deploy Bundeswehr soldiers on Ukrainian territory. Sources in Berlin indicate that a number of conditions must be met for Germany to assist Ukraine's security. Among these are the readiness of the US and Russia for negotiations, reaching an agreement among coalition members in the German government, and support from the Bundestag, which are considered important. According to Der Spiegel, the German government aims to limit the Bundeswehr's participation in Ukraine's security after a peace agreement is signed. Through this, Berlin seeks to avoid taking on excessive obligations. Thus, at the meeting in Paris, Germany's proposals will become one of the key issues in ensuring Kyiv's security.

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Western countries in the city of Vladivostok. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He emphasized that if foreign soldiers are sent to Ukrainian territory, they will become targets to be destroyed by Russia. Putin also expressed his readiness to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but noted that this meeting can only take place in Moscow. Western countries, however, did not take Putin's proposal seriously. Several factors influence Putin's firm stance. Russia believes it holds the initiative on the front lines. At the same time, Putin is demonstrating in meetings with the leaders of China and other countries that Russia is not isolated. Despite threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, he has not taken decisive measures in practice, which has given Moscow additional confidence. Putin used the phrase "light at the end of the tunnel," but experts emphasize that conflicts between Russia and the West will continue and the likelihood of reaching an agreement in the near future is very low. Thus, the current situation is complex and much work remains to be done to achieve peace between the parties.

Former US President Donald Trump recently stated that his country has suffered significant losses on the global stage. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to him, the US seems to have lost India and Russia due to China's influence. In a social media post, Trump said, “We lost India and Russia because of the strongest and bottomless China. I wish them a long and prosperous future together.” He also attached a joint photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his statement. These three leaders recently met at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit held in Tianjin, China, where they discussed promoting a new multipolar world order without the dominance of the US and Europe. Their calls are aimed at limiting Washington's central role in global processes. Trump, however, said he is not worried about this process and previously emphasized that the alliance of China and Russia against the US poses no threat to him. In his view, these countries will never resort to military force against the US. “If they take that path, it will be the worst option for them,” he said in his September 2 speech. Thus, relations between the US, China, Russia, and India are becoming more complicated. These geopolitical changes may define the new direction of the world order in the future.

A 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Irina Zarutska, was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The police arrested 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, who attacked the woman, and charged him with murder. The incident was recorded on video and widely shared on social media, causing significant public outrage.

A person died as a result of a large shark attack in Sydney. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The victim was attacked by a shark while swimming with friends at Long Reef beach. Rescuers brought him to shore, but they were unable to save his life. It is known that the victim had been in the water for only half an hour, and the attack occurred about 100 meters from the shore. Several popular beaches in the Northern Beaches area were temporarily closed following the incident. Experts have stated that these beaches may remain closed for 24 to 72 hours. The police are conducting an investigation to determine the exact species of shark involved in the attack. The last fatal shark attack in Sydney was recorded in 2022. On average, about 20 such incidents occur annually in Australia. This event once again reminded the country of the danger posed by sharks. People need to exercise increased caution along the coast. Rescue services are also strengthening safety measures at the beaches.

The Finnish government has initiated a deportation process for Russians who arrived in the country after Russia's war against Ukraine began. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Finnish police, from January to September 2025, 104 Russian citizens whose political asylum applications were rejected have been expelled from the country. This was reported by the publication "Vot Tak" on September 5. Official data indicates that the number of deportations has increased significantly this year. The main reason for this is the prolonged delay in processing asylum applications. Over the past two years, interviews with applicants were not conducted, with only some cases undergoing investigations. Activists have appealed to the Finnish ombudsman and filed complaints. Only at the end of 2024 did the interview process begin, says Maksim Aliyev, an activist of the "Kemi Against War" movement. According to him, about 90 percent of Russian applicants received rejection letters after the initial interviews. Many have appealed to the Supreme Court of Finland and expressed their readiness to reapply for asylum. The majority of rejections relate to citizens avoiding conscription. According to the Finnish Migration Service, in May 2023, at least 1,109 Russians sought asylum to avoid military conscription. However, officials rejected their applications and stated that mobilization in Russia had ended. Documents cited statements from then Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and President Vladimir Putin as justification. However, critics emphasize that there is no official decree to halt mobilization. Thus, the fate of Russian refugees in Finland remains uncertain. Authorities say that many applications will continue to be reviewed in the coming months, and the number of rejections may increase.

An unusual incident occurred in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. French tourist and cyclist Sofian Sexili was detained in Vladivostok on charges of illegal border crossing. This was reported by the prestigious French publication “Le Monde”. According to information, the athlete aimed to travel by bicycle across Eurasia and set a world record. His route started from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, with Vladivostok as the destination. However, the travel plan encountered an unexpected problem. On September 2, customs officers at the China-Russia border stopped him and accused him of violating the law. Sexili attempted to enter Russian territory twice. Each time he tried to cross at different points located about 200 kilometers from the border. But both attempts ended unsuccessfully. Sofian Sexili was born in 1981. He previously worked on filming documentaries, then stopped directing to focus on sports. At the age of 44, he began undertaking long bicycle journeys to challenge himself. So far, he has participated in about 20 major competitions, winning 11 of them. Experts believe that Sexili’s journey was aimed not only at setting a personal record but also at developing sports tourism in Eurasia. However, the incident in Russia became a major obstacle to his plans. Currently, an official investigation is underway regarding the French athlete. His fate and the outcome of his future trips remain unknown for now.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet.
