A strong earthquake occurred near the Aleutian Islands, which belong to the state of Alaska in the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.0. This information was provided by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. According to them, the epicenter of the earthquake was located 1537 kilometers southwest of Anchorage city. The depth of the earthquake was 54 kilometers, and its impact was felt over a wide area. The population of Anchorage city, located near the epicenter, is approximately 298 thousand people. Therefore, local authorities have warned the population in advance and started safety measures. There is currently no information about serious damage caused by the earthquake. Experts emphasize that geological activity may continue in the area. They also call on the population to remain alert. It is important for residents living in earthquake zones to follow safety rules. There is a need to be prepared for emergencies in the region. Long-term monitoring activities are ongoing. Cooperation with the public is being carried out to prevent such natural disasters and to be prepared for them. Experts are closely monitoring the situation and necessary measures are being taken.

Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that despite some problems between Moscow and Baku, the relations between the two countries will continue based on long-term interests. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The head of state stated that during his visit to China, he had a brief conversation with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. According to Putin, various issues occasionally arise in relations between the countries, and although there are problems, they are resolved. He stressed that the foundation of relations between Russia and Azerbaijan is strong, and all problems will find their solutions based on mutual interests. On September 3, within the framework of the SCO summit in Beijing, Putin and Aliyev held several bilateral meetings with other heads of state, but there was no official meeting between them. It is worth noting that relations between Russia and Azerbaijan had cooled earlier due to the downing of an AZAL airline plane and the deaths of representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Yekaterinburg. At the same time, both sides are striving to strengthen ties.

US President Donald Trump has firmly demanded the immediate release of 20 Israelis taken hostage by the Palestinian HAMAS movement. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He personally made a statement about this on the social network Truth Social. According to Trump, HAMAS must release all hostages without delay, otherwise the situation will change drastically and the war will end. It should be recalled that on March 18, the Israeli army resumed combat operations in the Gaza Strip and delivered heavy strikes to the enclave territory. These actions officially constitute a breach of the ceasefire agreement announced in January. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, explaining the purpose of the operation, emphasized that the decision was due to the rejection by the Palestinian HAMAS movement of proposals made through intermediaries and the US President's special envoy Steven Witkoff. According to Netanyahu, the main goal of the military actions was to free all hostages. HAMAS, in turn, blamed Israel and the US for the resumption of combat operations. This situation is further complicating the regional situation.

Any country around the world can serve as a venue for negotiations between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. This was reported by Zamin.uz. However, there are three countries that the Ukrainian side absolutely does not agree to. This was emphasized by Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, in an exclusive interview with Novini.LIVE. According to him, Russia, Belarus, and Hungary cannot host such a summit under any circumstances. Because holding the meeting in these countries would be harmful to Ukraine and bring no benefit. Podolyak stated that the location of the negotiations itself is not the most important factor. Any country in the world might not oppose such a meeting, since negotiations do not necessarily have to be bilateral or trilateral. However, if proposals come from Moscow, Minsk, or Budapest, they should not be taken seriously. For Ukraine, the main issue is not the venue of the summit, but its outcome and the conditions under which it takes place. Thus, the content and effectiveness of the negotiations remain the most important factors for Ukraine.

Turkey sent humanitarian aid following the devastating earthquake in Afghanistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to TRT Haber, the 25 tons of aid prepared in cooperation with the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority, and the Turkish Red Crescent Society were delivered to Afghanistan via a military aircraft from Erkilet Airport in Kayseri. The aid shipment included essential materials for building temporary shelters, hygiene products, food packages, and other important items. On the night of August 31, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 struck Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan. As a result of this natural disaster, more than 1,400 people lost their lives, over 3,100 were injured, and more than 5,412 houses were destroyed. Following the earthquake, the Kabul government requested assistance from Turkey. The humanitarian aid sent by Turkey is considered an important step towards alleviating the difficulties in the region.

The population of Russia will observe a total lunar eclipse on September 7. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the “TASS” agency, citing Lyudmila Koshman, head of the methodological support department at the Moscow Planetarium, the lunar eclipse will last from 18:28 to 23:55 Moscow time. The phase during which the moon is completely in the Earth's shadow will last approximately one and a half hours, from 20:31 to 21:53. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 21:12. According to Koshman, this natural phenomenon will be clearly visible from cloudless areas of Russia. Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergey Bogachev emphasized on the “Be Careful, Moscow” Telegram channel that the lunar eclipse can be easily seen with the naked eye. Therefore, no special equipment is required to observe this event. The lunar eclipse is a natural and unique astronomical event that serves as an interesting spectacle for many people. Thus, on September 7, the population of Russia will have the opportunity to see this event brightly and clearly.

US President Donald Trump recently announced his intention to have a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He spoke about this during a meeting with Polish President Karol Navroski at the White House. According to Trump, he wants to hear Putin's opinion and fully understand the situation. “I will talk to Putin soon and get a complete understanding of the situation. We have already taken strong measures, as you know. Now I will speak with him and try to clearly understand all the issues,” said the president. Additionally, he recalled that he previously considered the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to be an issue that could be easily resolved. However, it was emphasized that the current situation is not as simple as expected and has complexities. Trump stated that he is ready to use all available opportunities to resolve this matter.

The situation in Israel is escalating. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Hundreds of people have gathered near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house in Jerusalem, holding protests. Among the protesters, tensions have risen, and fires were set to garbage containers and car tires. This was reported by “The Jerusalem Post.” The protesters' main demand is to reach an agreement on the release of prisoners in the Gaza Strip. They accuse the government of not taking practical measures. According to police reports, damage in the Rehavia and Givat Ram districts mainly affected vehicles, with no serious injuries reported. A group of protesters climbed onto the roof of the National Library building, displaying slogans such as “The government is not doing enough for prisoners held by HAMAS.” Meanwhile, several cars took the Latrun road to Jerusalem, demanding an end to the war and the release of prisoners. According to information, these protests are being held as part of the “Movement to Protect the Rights of Prisoners in Gaza.” The protests coincided with the government's ongoing plan to capture Gaza. Reports indicate that HAMAS accepted a prisoner exchange proposal offered through Qatar, but Netanyahu rejected it. Official data states that currently, 20 Israeli prisoners are alive in Gaza, while 28 have died. The Israeli army has been conducting a ground operation for 30 days, fully surrounding the city. Air and artillery strikes often affect civilians as well. In the past 24 hours, 119 Palestinians, including two journalists and many civilians in need of assistance, have been killed. The humanitarian situation in the region is worsening. Thousands of people are temporarily living in tents on the western coast of Gaza. International organizations report that there is no safe place left for the population in the area. It is recalled that since October 7, 2023, over 63,000 Palestinians have died as a result of Israeli strikes. According to health institutions, 367 people, including 131 children, have died from starvation. Although the Israeli government has acknowledged food shortages in Gaza, it denies allegations of mass starvation.

US President Donald Trump has tasked the Pentagon with further strengthening the United States Armed Forces and monitoring the actions of Russia and China when necessary. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This was announced by the country's Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, in an interview with Fox News. According to the Secretary, the previous administration's sluggishness led to the rapprochement between Moscow and Beijing. Therefore, President Trump has instructed the Department of Defense to historically restore the armed forces and increase military potential. These efforts are being carried out to prevent conflicts, not to provoke them. According to Hegseth, the US aims to maintain strategic superiority in space, air, sea, and underwater domains. He mentioned the "Golden Dome" defense system, emphasizing that such capability does not yet exist in China. President Trump has good relations with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, which lays the foundation for cooperation between the two countries. However, under any circumstances, the US must always be prepared. As a reminder, on September 3, a large military parade dedicated to the 80th anniversary of World War II was held at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. More than 20 heads of state participated, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Donald Trump posted a brief statement on social media, wishing Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un not to conspire against the US. Putin, in a press conference held at the end of his China visit, noted that Trump's words were not without seriousness.

US President Donald Trump announced that if dialogue and cooperation with Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine do not continue, Washington may take new measures against Moscow. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This statement was made on September 3 after a meeting in the Oval Office with Polish President Karol Nawrocki. An excerpt from the president's speech was published on the official social media page of the White House. According to Trump, Putin is well aware of his position and ultimately has to make a decision. Regardless of what the decision is, it can be accepted or rejected. If rejected, the consequences will become apparent soon. At the same time, no specific demands or appeals have been sent to Russia yet. One of the press representatives asked Trump whether strict measures against Moscow would not be taken during his presidency. Trump replied that secondary sanctions imposed against India are not being considered. According to him, these sanctions have caused Russia hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. The president emphasized that he has not yet applied the second and third phase measures. Earlier, Trump had stated that the Russian leader was distracted but did not disclose the reason for this dissatisfaction. He also mentioned at a White House briefing that if there is no progress in the conflict in Ukraine, the US might choose a different direction. The president stressed that he is closely monitoring the developments and may announce interesting information about the conflict in Ukraine in the coming days.

Ukraine has for the first time implemented the control of drone swarm movements on the battlefield using artificial intelligence. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to The Wall Street Journal, this innovation is considered significant for the future of military conflicts. Experts believe this technology marks a new era in drone warfare. Because it enables the effective direction of dozens or even thousands of unmanned devices against enemy defenses simultaneously. This helps carry out large-scale operations covering not only individual targets but entire cities. According to senior officers of the Ukrainian army and representatives of the software development company, mass drone attacks were conducted along the front line over the past year. Although no official information was previously provided, analysts consider this the first example of regular use of drone swarms in modern warfare. The software created by the startup named Swarmer increases the swarm's efficiency. It determines which drone will initiate the attack first and, if one drone's battery runs out, the others take over the task. The company's head, Sergey Kupriyenko, said: “You only designate the target; the drones handle the rest themselves. They operate cooperatively and quickly adapt to the situation.” Swarmer technology was initially used by Ukrainian forces for mine laying and later actively employed in strikes against enemy equipment and Russian infrastructure. Typically, it is used with three drones, but tests have been conducted with up to eight and even 25 drones. According to data, countries such as the United States, China, France, Russia, and South Korea are also working on developing drone swarm technology. However, analysts were previously unaware that operations in Ukraine were regularly applying this technology on the battlefield. It is worth noting that the US has been researching this system since at least 2016, when it tested launching over a hundred small drones from three fighter jets.

After concluding his visit to China, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a new proposal to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a press conference. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to him, if Zelenskiy is ready for a meeting, he can come to Moscow. However, Putin emphasized that he is not yet sure whether such a meeting would be meaningful and noted that he does not consider Zelenskiy’s presidency legitimate. It is worth mentioning that this proposal was previously discussed during a conversation with former US President Donald Trump. However, Zelenskiy rejected Putin’s offer with the response “Not only in Moscow.” The Russian leader has refused to meet with Zelenskiy several times, calling him an “illegitimate president.” According to Putin, since no new elections have been held in Ukraine, Zelenskiy’s legitimacy remains in doubt. At the same time, according to Ukrainian law, presidential elections can only be held 90 days after the end of martial law. The main points from Putin’s speech are as follows: Russia has never guaranteed Ukraine’s security in exchange for giving up territories. Kiev has the right to independently choose its security system, but this should not be done at Russia’s expense. The peoples remaining within Russia have the right to speak their language and preserve their culture, which is considered the foundation of democracy. If the Ukrainian government wants to resolve territorial issues, it must first lift martial law and hold a referendum. If common sense prevails, an agreement to peacefully resolve the conflict can be reached. Currently, it seems that the US administration shares this sentiment. There is hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. However, if this path is not chosen, it will be necessary to resolve the situation by armed means. In conclusion, Putin’s words reflect the ongoing conflicts within the complex political situation between Russia and Ukraine. On one hand, he expresses openness to negotiations, while on the other, he doubts Zelenskiy’s legitimacy. This highlights the complexity of the dialogue process.

The Chief of the Pakistan Army, General Asim Munir, has faced widespread criticism due to his uncomfortable and controversial statements made during international meetings. This was reported by Zamin.uz. His comparison of Pakistan to a "dump truck full of dust" and India to a "shining Mercedes" caused significant discontent within the country. These words sparked intense discussions on social media and were criticized by many users. Critics consider Munir's remarks as damaging to the country's international reputation and diminishing national pride. After his comments were repeated by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi during a meeting with the Saudi Arabian delegation, they spread widely on the internet. As a result, memes and mockeries increased, and on social media, his words were described as "foolish" and "insulting." Pakistanis regard these comparisons as inappropriate for leadership. Entrepreneurs and journalists also condemned such remarks, emphasizing that this situation reflects a decline in the capabilities of the country's leaders. According to critics, Munir's words are not only a sign of poor behavior but also an indication of a crisis of confidence within the military leadership system. Political commentators stress that such statements negatively affect Pakistan's standing on the international stage. Additionally, some experts interpret Munir's words as a reflection of deep internal problems within the military leadership. They believe that high-ranking generals disparaging their own country reveals weaknesses and imbalances in strategic thinking. Among Pakistani society, dissatisfaction and anger towards this situation are steadily increasing. Munir's excessive use of dramatic comparisons in political and military topics is also under criticism. On social media, it is noted that his remarks harm the country's interests and that such words are not expressed with sufficient responsibility. Critics, including Wasim Khan, emphasize that such comments are inappropriate for a nuclear state and question the competence and intelligence of the country's leaders. This situation also reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the disruption of the military-political balance in Pakistan and the army's excessive involvement in politics. Analysts stress the need to evaluate the country based on its economy, institutions, and rule of law rather than cheap and inappropriate comparisons. The statements made by the Chief of the Pakistan Army clearly demonstrate a decline in the country's international reputation.

Hundreds of women dressed in pink clothing and holding brooms protested in front of the parliament building in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the wasteful spending of state funds and police brutality. The broom was used as a symbol for them to "sweep away the dirt in the country." The protests have been ongoing for two weeks and are known to have started against the rising cost of living and excessive privileges of deputies. According to official data, at least ten people died and more than a thousand were hospitalized during the protests that erupted at the end of August. Although President Prabowo Subianto initially announced the cancellation of his trip to China, it was later revealed that he participated in a military parade held in Beijing. He promised to reduce some privileges of the deputies, but protesters consider this measure insufficient. The United Nations and human rights organizations have criticized the Indonesian government for responding to the protests with violence. Experts emphasize that the population is expecting broader reforms – equality, education, agriculture, and fair economic opportunities.

A 23-year-old man in Japan wants to marry an 83-year-old woman. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This event received wide coverage in the country's media and attracted the attention of many people. According to reports, the young man plans to marry the grandmother of his classmate. Their acquaintance coincided with February 14, Valentine's Day. From that day on, closeness developed between them, and after six months they revealed their relationship to their relatives. Later, they began living together. Family members accepted this decision calmly and supported the couple. The woman previously worked as a gardener, owned a large botanical garden, and has been married twice. She has one son, one daughter, and five grandchildren. After her last divorce, she lived with her son. Their story sparked great interest on social media. Some supported them saying love knows no age, while others criticized the large age difference. This event sparked widespread discussions in Japan and internationally. Experts emphasize that such relationships can divide society into two parts: some accept it as a free choice, while others reject it. Thus, the love between the young Japanese man and the elderly woman led to broader social debates beyond a simple family matter. The public is watching their future with interest.

In Udaypur, India, a man was sentenced to death for burning his wife because of her skin color. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The judge described this crime as one of the most horrific crimes against humanity. In her final days, the deceased Lakshmi informed the police and doctors that her husband constantly insulted her because of her skin color. In 2017, her husband applied a liquid used as a skin whitening medicine on her and then set her on fire. Lakshmi, who suffered severe burn injuries, died in the hospital. During the trial, numerous pieces of evidence were presented against the woman's husband. The prosecutor called this verdict historic and emphasized that it should serve as a warning to society. This verdict once again highlighted the problem of discrimination based on skin color in India. The excessive emphasis on being fair-skinned and the demand for skin whitening products create significant pressure in society. This situation further exacerbates issues of social inequality and injustice. Therefore, strict measures must be taken against such crimes. It is important that human rights are respected in society and continuous attention is paid to preventing discrimination.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping emphasized important points in his speech dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He stated that people live on one planet, and therefore it is necessary to cooperate and live a peaceful and calm life. Xi Jinping said that the world must never return to the law of using force. According to him, China will always remain a main supporter of peace, stability, and development. Additionally, Chinese modernization will be demonstrated as a model based on peaceful development. This approach is of great importance in ensuring global security and prosperity. Xi Jinping's speech was accepted by the international community as a call to strengthen peace and cooperation. He invited all countries to resolve disputes through dialogue and peaceful means. The Chinese leader emphasized the need to unite in order to end war and violence and to ensure the well-being of humanity. Thus, it is important for the world to follow the path of peace and development.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called on the Slovak leadership to impose an energy blockade in order to exert additional pressure on Ukraine. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Putin, it is necessary to stop the reverse supply of gas and cut off electricity to curb Kyiv's aggression against the interests of other countries. He expressed these views in an interview with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on September 2 in Beijing. He also strongly criticized Ukraine's drone strikes on the "Druzhba" oil pipeline. As the only European leader participating in the ceremony held in China to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japan in World War II, Robert Fico also condemned Kyiv's actions. On September 5, he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and promised to pay special attention to ensuring the security of the oil pipeline. During the meeting, Putin highly appreciated Slovakia's independent foreign policy and expressed gratitude to Fico. The Slovak Prime Minister, in turn, criticized the European Union, comparing it to an organization that cannot properly assess world events and has limited capabilities. He stated that he respects the European Union but emphasized its inability to adequately respond to global problems. At the same time, Fico openly expressed his country's desire to continue cooperation with Russia in the energy sector and to purchase oil and gas from Moscow.

A landslide occurred in the Marra Mountains region of Darfur, Sudan, due to heavy rains. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the United Nations, at least 370 people have died, but the number of casualties could be even higher. Local residents reported that the death toll has reached a thousand. The landslide destroyed a large part of the village of Tarseen. Rescuers have so far found only nine bodies. Hundreds of families lived in the village, and many people are still missing. The United Nations is delivering rescuers, food, drinking water, and other necessary aid. However, access to the mountainous area is very difficult, and rain and poor roads are slowing down rescue efforts. Therefore, aid delivery by air is planned. The governor of Darfur called this event a major tragedy and urged the international community to provide immediate assistance. Accelerating aid efforts on site and supporting the victims is of great importance.

US President Donald Trump announced that a boat from Venezuela was struck in the South Caribbean Sea, resulting in the death of 11 people. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Trump, the boat was attempting to smuggle illegal substances into the US. The President stated that this action was directed against a criminal group in Venezuela. He emphasized that US forces were not harmed during the operation. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government called the video released by Trump fake. International news agencies are continuing to verify the authenticity of the video. Recently, relations between the US and Venezuela have been deteriorating. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro condemned the US actions and stated that he is ready to defend his country. This incident is causing further escalation of tensions between the two countries. The US government stresses that it will continue to fight against illegal drug trafficking. The international community is closely monitoring the event and hopes for a peaceful resolution of the situation.

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. The city mayor called the incident a failure of the judicial system and promised measures to enhance safety on public transport. Zarutska's family stated that she had fled the war in 2022 and come to the United States, quickly adapting to her new life. She was interested in art, loved animals, and lived happily with her family. The incident also sparked political debates. Some criticized that Brown, despite having been previously convicted of serious crimes, had been released. The state leader called for more effective measures against crime. This event once again prompted discussions in society about safety and justice issues.

A new direction has emerged in trade between Russia and the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In July 2025, Russia exported chicken eggs to the USA for the first time. This was reported by “RIA Novosti” based on data from the American statistical service. According to the data, in July, the United States purchased eggs worth a total of 455 thousand dollars from Russia. During that month, the USA imported eggs worth a total of 16.5 million dollars, with Russia entering the list as a new supplier. Among the egg supplying countries, Brazil leads with products worth 8.8 million dollars. Mexico exported eggs worth 3.9 million dollars, and India exported eggs worth 933 thousand dollars. Additionally, in July, the USA imported eggs worth 518 thousand dollars from Saudi Arabia for the first time. Officials noted that the recent widespread avian influenza in the USA has caused a shortage of eggs in the local market. As a result, egg prices have doubled compared to last year. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, if tests from birds infected with avian influenza come back positive, they are culled en masse. This measure is applied to prevent the spread of the disease. Analysts believe that Russia’s export of eggs to the USA may create new market opportunities for the country. At the same time, it indicates an expansion of trade relations between the two countries. It once again demonstrated the importance of daily consumer products like eggs in the global market. This also emphasizes how crucial food security is.

French traveler Sofian Sehili, who traveled by bicycle from Portugal to Vladivostok, was detained in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the French publication Le Monde, citing its sources, he was attempting to break the world record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia by bicycle but is accused of crossing the border illegally. 44-year-old Sofian Sehili is a documentary filmmaker. He has focused his career on cycling since 2012 and has participated in nearly twenty grueling races during this time. He has won eleven of them. Among these, he also took part in the Tour Divide race, which spans 4,500 kilometers from Canada to Mexico. This year, Sehili announced his goal on social media. He planned to break the record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia, set in 2017 by German cyclist Jonas Deichmann. The journey began on July 1, 2025, from Cabo da Roca in Portugal and reached Vladivostok in 64 days, two hours, and twenty-six minutes. However, his route encountered various difficulties. At the end of July, Sehili entered Chechnya through Georgia and crossed the Russian border. Later, he left Russia via the Astrakhan region, passing through Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia. His next destination was China, where he temporarily halted his journey. According to the traveler, he was stopped by Russian customs officers at the China-Russia border. He announced this on September 2 in an Instagram story. However, there is no clear information about his subsequent fate. According to Le Monde, Sehili is deeply regretful that he could not complete his journey's final stage. He wrote that facing failure near the finish line breaks the heart. He has now been given ten months to consider either making another attempt to break the record or stopping. At the same time, he emphasized that this attempt could also end in lifelong failure.

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. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.

At the beginning of September, a Canadian soldier serving in the aviation battalion of NATO's multinational brigade went missing in Latvia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to a statement published on the official website of the Canadian Ministry of Defence, his death has been confirmed. The Canadian Ministry of Defence provided information about the missing soldier on Friday. He was a qualified technician of the 408th Tactical Helicopter Squadron and held a high level of responsibility. The statement says that the Canadian officer George Hohl, sent to Latvia as part of the NATO operation, went missing on September 2, and his body was found on September 5. An investigation is ongoing to determine the causes of death. The Canadian police and law enforcement agencies are conducting the investigation in cooperation with Latvia. All necessary measures are being taken to establish the reasons for the soldier's death. This incident raises serious security issues among NATO military personnel.
