New restrictions have been imposed on the activities of media outlets and social networks in Turkey. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to foreign mass media sources, significant problems occurred when accessing popular online platforms during protests in Istanbul. On September 7, around 20:45, disruptions began in connecting to social networks and messengers such as X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp. Users reported limitations in using these services and that they were operating slowly. Experts believe these restrictions may have been implemented by the Turkish Internet Providers Association, although no official statement has been issued by the organization so far. According to local journalists, the restrictions on access to social networks are related to political events. It was revealed that the restrictions were introduced after police set up barricades in front of the Republican People's Party headquarters in Istanbul. As a result, party activists and supporters called on the public to participate in mass rallies. Consequently, to prevent the rapid spread of calls and video recordings distributed through social networks, the operation of online platforms was limited. This situation is being assessed as measures taken to maintain public order and control the political situation.

According to Ukrainian officials, the latest airstrike carried out by Russia before dawn yesterday resulted in serious consequences. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of this attack, at least four people were killed and 44 others sustained various injuries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the incident, accusing Russia of killing civilians. According to him, the large-scale attacks conducted by Moscow serve to artificially prolong the war and hinder the finding of a political solution. Zelenskyy also emphasized that true diplomacy can begin during such atrocities. He stated that the Russian leadership is consciously committing crimes and is interested in continuing the war. As has been said several times in Washington, the side refusing negotiations will face sanctions. Only a firm political will can force the Kremlin to stop killing civilians. According to the president, despite such attacks, the Ukrainian people will continue to defend their independence and territorial integrity. Russia's military actions threaten not only Ukraine but the security of all Europe. Therefore, the international community must pay serious attention to this issue.

The Huajyang Grand Canyon Bridge, located in Guizhou Province, China, successfully passed a five-day load-bearing test ahead of its grand opening scheduled for the end of September this year. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Engineers considered this test the most critical stage before the opening, emphasizing full compliance with all regulatory requirements and procedures. During the engineering inspections, specialists strategically positioned 96 vehicles, including passenger and freight trucks, at various points on the bridge to test its load-bearing capacity. These tests aimed to determine the bridge's structural stability, durability, and safety, with detailed studies of dynamic responses, deformation levels, and reliability indicators. The Huajyang Grand Canyon Bridge is situated 625 meters above the Darayo Valley and is expected to set new records as the world's highest bridge once fully operational.

This bridge will hold historical significance not only as the world's highest bridge but also as the largest bridge constructed in mountainous regions. According to experts, the project represents a significant achievement in infrastructure development and engineering. It will improve the region's logistics system, reduce travel time and costs, and further strengthen economic ties. Thus, all requirements during the preparation phase were consistently met, and the test results confirmed the bridge's reliability. Now, the opening ceremony and operational phase scheduled for the end of September will commence.

Manchester City and Norway national team striker Erling Haaland was injured as a result of an unfortunate incident that occurred in Oslo. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Goal.com, as the players were getting off the bus and heading towards the hotel, the bus door unexpectedly opened and struck Haaland's lip. Due to this injury, the striker received prompt medical assistance. Although it was emphasized that the injury is not serious, the player received three stitches. Haaland also posted a photo on his social media showing his swollen lip and injury. Since this incident happened during the players' routine movements, it caused some concern for the athlete. So far, no official information has been provided regarding Haaland's participation in upcoming training sessions. Experts emphasize that he has the possibility to recover soon and return to the field. The famous striker's injury from a simple situation sparked widespread discussions among fans, as any injury can negatively affect his performance.

US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the state of war in Ukraine following Russia's large-scale military invasion of Ukrainian territory in February 2022 and the subsequent major drone and missile attacks. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The White House leader said during a conversation with journalists at Andrews Air Force Base on September 7, “I am not satisfied with what is happening there.” He emphasized that he has confidence in resolving the war but is not pleased with the current developments. Trump also announced his intention to have a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming days. He mentioned at a briefing held at the White House on September 5 that Putin had indicated his readiness for talks. Additionally, the American president stated his readiness to strengthen new sanctions against Russia. According to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the economic pressure from the United States and the European Union may compel Putin to initiate peace negotiations with Ukraine. Thus, Washington's recent statements demonstrate that the situation around Ukraine remains a significant topic in international politics.

Following the latest warning from US President Donald Trump, the Palestinian HAMAS movement announced its readiness for rapid negotiations to halt the armed conflict in the Gaza Strip and release all prisoners. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In an official statement released on September 7, HAMAS emphasized that it had previously accepted a series of proposals from the United States through intermediaries aimed at ceasing fire. These proposals created an opportunity to reach an agreement to stop the war. On October 7, 2023, HAMAS set three main demands to Israel in exchange for releasing the captured Israelis: cessation of armed actions, complete withdrawal of troops from the Gaza territory, and the establishment of a committee composed of independent Palestinians to govern the sector. On the same morning, Trump announced on his social media that the terms of the agreement proposed by Israel had been accepted and called on HAMAS to agree to them as well. According to Trump, this is his final warning, and there will be no other opportunities. Thus, a new phase may begin in the situation, as the relations between both sides and Trump's firm stance are likely to determine the fate of the clashes in Gaza.

An unusual event took place at Moscow's Patriarch's Pond. This was reported by Zamin.uz. A man in a swan costume was paddling on a SUP board and was detained by the police. This was reported by the “Podyom” publication. The participant of the protest appeared wearing a mask, a winged swan costume, and a T-shirt with the inscription “Pool for swans, not for people.” During the demonstration, he lost his balance and fell into the water. The police met him on the shore, drew up a protocol for petty hooliganism, and kept him in the station for one night. He now faces a fine of up to 1000 rubles or up to 15 days of imprisonment. The court hearing will take place on September 8. The initiator of the protest introduced himself as the PointBreak company, a manufacturer of SUP boards. A company representative stated that the action was organized to protect water birds. According to him, the freedom of swans at Patriarch's Pond is restricted, and they are constantly disturbed by people walking nearby. For this reason, the protest was organized as a symbol of support for swan rights.

The continuous rise in global temperatures is causing significant damage to the world's oceans and seas. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This process has been consistently observed since 1984. In recent years, especially in 2023 and 2024, the heat of sea waters has reached record levels. During this period, the number of hot sea days has increased three and a half times compared to previous years. According to reports from meteorologists and climate experts, in 2025 the surface temperature of global sea water remains at its highest level. Due to climate change and global warming, the area of warm water has reached approximately 40 million square kilometers over the past two years. This accounts for nearly ten percent of the world's oceans. Excessive heating negatively affects the aquatic environment, posing a threat especially to marine animals and corals in tropical regions. The strongest sea heat in the last fifty years has been recorded in the Tasman Sea, the Solomon Sea, much of the Pacific Ocean near small island developing states, and the Mediterranean Sea. Scientists emphasize that the Mediterranean Sea is warming three times faster than the global average heat level. This increases the likelihood of disruption to regional climate conditions and water balance. Therefore, additional measures by the global community are necessary to improve the state of the oceans and reduce the negative consequences of climate change.

Catherine Sullivan, 65, who worked at a bank in Australia for 25 years, became unemployed after the introduction of an artificial intelligence system. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Although she actively participated in the implementation process of the new technology, she later lost her job because of this very system. Sullivan worked in the customer service department and helped test the software called Bumblebee AI. However, within a short period, she and some colleagues were informed about layoffs under the pretext of transitioning to new technologies. According to the bank's press service, artificial intelligence was introduced to increase efficiency. At the initial stage, Bumblebee AI faced difficulties processing a large number of requests, resulting in some employees being offered to return to work. Nevertheless, Catherine Sullivan declined this offer, stating that the new position would not provide her with long-term stability. The bank management promised to provide financial and psychological support to those laid off. This situation raises important questions about the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on jobs.

According to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, measures against crimes related to illegal migrants in the country are being further strengthened. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Additionally, control over employers who hire migrants has been tightened. The number of unscheduled inspections conducted on legal entities and individual entrepreneurs has significantly increased. In particular, inspections increased by 14.6 percent, with 6,367 cases recorded. As a result, 19,839 violations were identified. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the first half of 2025, 587.8 thousand migration-related violations were detected. This figure is 17 percent higher compared to last year. Cases of illegal residence increased by 28 percent, and labor market employment violations rose by 52 percent. At the same time, the figures for registration and temporary registration have significantly decreased. For example, permits issued during the half-year decreased by 16.6 thousand, falling by 31 percent. Residence permits issued also decreased by 80.1 thousand, marking a 32 percent decline. Furthermore, this year, a decision was made to revoke Russian citizenship from 791 individuals. The number of notifications regarding employment of foreigners has also increased. Thus, the Russian government is further tightening its migration policies. These measures are aimed at ensuring internal security and the rule of law in the country.

Germany's Minister of Agriculture and Food, Alois Rayner, has proposed an initiative to increase the country's food reserves in preparation for emergencies. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the minister, the main focus is on products that can be consumed immediately. In particular, it is planned to increase the reserves of canned pasta and similar products. In an interview with journalists, Alois Rayner stated that he intends to form these as a national reserve of quickly prepared and consumable products. The total value of the initiative is expected to be between 80 and 90 million euros. The minister emphasized that the current geopolitical situation and problems in global supply chains are prompting Germany to take such measures. Therefore, the reserve of ready-made products is considered important for ensuring the country's security and stability. This initiative serves to enhance Germany's preparedness for future emergencies.

Changes have been introduced to the procedure for obtaining non-immigrant visas to the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the new rules announced by the US Department of State, applicants must now apply for an interview at the US embassy or consulate in their own country or permanent place of residence. Previously, applicants could apply at any diplomatic mission in any country. The new procedure operates on a territorial basis and aims to improve queues, acceptance quotas, and the document verification process. For example, since the US has temporarily suspended issuing immigrant visas in Russia, Russian applicants must apply to the embassies or consulates in Astana and Warsaw. Additionally, citizens of Belarus and Ukraine will also need to apply for US visas at diplomatic missions in other countries. This measure serves to make the application process more efficient and secure. It is important to note that the place of application, dates, and requirements may vary at each diplomatic mission. The practical significance of the new procedure is that applicants must schedule their interview only at the diplomatic mission near their place of residence. It is also recommended to check the list of required documents in advance and adjust travel plans according to the appointment date. In some cases, additional documents related to residence, work, or education may be required. In summary, the new rules regulate the application process based on the "place of residence – acceptance point" principle. Therefore, applicants should carefully read the instructions provided on the official website of the US diplomatic mission in their country or country of residence and book interview dates in advance. This ensures a fast and efficient document acceptance process and prevents delays.

The US plans to impose new economic sanctions in cooperation with Europe to bring Russia to the negotiating table. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This was announced by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with NBC. According to him, the joint economic pressure from the US and the European Union could cause serious problems for Moscow and force it to enter the negotiation process. Bessent called on Europe to learn from Washington's experience regarding sanctions, as bilateral pressure is more likely to yield effective results. Earlier, the US imposed additional tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil. According to reports from Bild and Reuters agencies, on September 4, US President Donald Trump firmly demanded European leaders during a meeting to stop purchasing Russian oil. These measures are considered additional pressure on the Russian economy. At the same time, the West expects Moscow to change its political stance through the new sanctions.

Joyful news has come from the state of Minnesota. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Bryan Hooper, who was imprisoned in 1998 on charges of murder, was fully acquitted by a court decision and released after serving 27 years in prison, NBC News reported. The charges against Hooper were based on a criminal case related to the death of 77-year-old Ann Praznyak. This accusation was mainly examined in court based on the testimony of a woman named Chalaka Yang. Later, Chalaka Yang openly admitted to committing the crime herself. Additionally, the prison inmates who testified against Hooper also retracted their previous statements. These developments helped reveal the truth. With the new court ruling, Bryan Hooper was acquitted after being imprisoned for 27 years and reunited with his family. This event was significant not only for his personal life but also for the justice system. In a statement, Prosecutor Mary Moriarty said: "We are sincerely happy about Mr. Hooper’s release and apologize for the role of the prosecutor’s office in this injustice." Hooper’s fate once again reinforced faith in legal justice and the power of patience. Being imprisoned for 27 years on false charges and finally gaining freedom was a great joy not only for his family but for the entire community. This event was recognized internationally as an important historical occurrence demonstrating the supremacy of human rights and justice.

A 58-year-old mountaineer, Sergey Melnikov, who had been missing for a week in the Sochi mountains, was found safe. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The South Search and Rescue Service of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced this. Melnikov crossed to the other side of the mountain range and reached the village of Aib. Border guards found him there and took him to a safe area. According to Alexander Pyatnitsyn, Vice President of the Russian Mountaineering Federation, the mountaineer is in good health and does not require medical assistance.

That lot sold for five times the expected price at the time, setting a record. Viktor Soy’s work has secured its place in the art world, and his creations are eagerly awaited.

At the beginning of the 21st century, mysterious underground tunnels located in South America attracted the attention of scientists. This was reported by Zamin.uz. It was determined that these tunnels were not the result of human activity or natural geological processes, which sparked great interest. Heinrich Frank, a geology professor working in Brazil, discovered an unfamiliar hole near a construction site and decided to study it. He entered the tunnel and observed a passage approximately 4.5 meters long. The walls and ceiling of the tunnel bore large claw marks. According to the professor, no geological process can create such a shaped and claw-marked long tunnel. They could only have been dug by strong and large animals. Research showed that the creatures that dug these tunnels were giant sloths that lived thousands of years ago. They were larger and stronger compared to modern sloths, comparable to African elephants. In the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil, Professor Frank and his colleagues identified more than 1,500 such underground passages. The longest tunnel stretched approximately 600 meters and was wide enough for a human to pass through. These tunnels are believed to have been dug by several generations of sloths. A 2018 study conducted in the state of Utah, USA, revealed close relationships between humans and sloths. These relationships were linked to hunting and pursuit processes, with evidence supporting this found. These discoveries add new information to human history and help deepen the understanding of the complexity of nature and the animal kingdom.

The latest research announced by the World Meteorological Organization raises serious concerns for humanity. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the data, billions of people worldwide breathe polluted air every day. This situation causes more than 4.5 million premature deaths annually. Experts point to forest fires as one of the main sources of air pollution. Smoke particles from the fires spread hundreds and thousands of kilometers away, poisoning not only the local area but entire continents. As one of the study participants emphasized, during a record-intense fire season on the Iberian Peninsula, smoke reached Western Europe and was observed to potentially cover the entire continent. The report specifically highlights regions where air quality sharply deteriorated in 2024. Among them, PM 2.5 particle levels were significantly above normal in areas of Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, Canada, Central Africa, and Siberia. At the same time, some regions are experiencing positive changes in air quality. In particular, waste emissions have significantly decreased in Eastern China and parts of Europe. Scientists believe this is the result of strict measures taken at the state and city levels. For example, the establishment of new parks and tree planting in Shanghai positively impact air quality. Additionally, despite heavy vehicle traffic, the share of electric vehicles on the roads has increased. Experts emphasize that pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are decreasing under strict control. However, ground-level ozone, the main component of smog, remains at a high level. Scientists urge countries to be more vigilant in combating air pollution because this issue is of great importance for human health, nature, and the lives of future generations.

The helicopter crashed either in the air or upon landing and quickly caught fire. The incident caused an emergency situation. On Saturday at 14:45 local time, emergency services arrived at the scene and identified the crash site. None of the people on board the helicopter survived; there were no survivors. Local residents and city officials are closely monitoring this event. The US National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating this crash. During the investigation, all possible causes such as technical malfunctions, weather conditions, and human factors will be examined. Helicopter crashes pose a significant risk to transport safety. Additionally, this incident tests the preparedness of local residents and airports for emergency situations. Experts recommend taking additional measures to ensure air transport and public safety.

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.
