Thousands of citizens in the US capital Washington protested against President Donald Trump's decision to deploy National Guard soldiers on the city streets. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The protesters called the troops "invaders" and marched with slogans such as "Trump must resign." Last month, Trump ordered the deployment of troops in the capital to reduce crime. Additionally, he placed the local police under federal control and involved immigration services. However, according to official data, the city's crime rate has dropped to its lowest level in the last 30 years. The Washington Attorney General considered Trump's decision unconstitutional and filed a lawsuit. Nevertheless, some citizens emphasized that the troops are necessary to ensure security. The city mayor acknowledged the assistance of federal forces but expressed hope that the National Guard soldiers would withdraw soon. Currently, thousands of soldiers are patrolling the capital's streets, and their duty may continue until the end of November. This situation is causing diverse opinions and debates among the city's residents.

Indian tourist Yogesh Alekari lost his motorcycle during a trip in the United Kingdom. This was reported by Zamin.uz. His KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle and valuable belongings were stolen in a park in Nottingham. The 33-year-old Alekari had traveled through more than 17 countries and reached Europe.

The Israeli army destroyed the Sussi building located in Gaza City. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The Mushtaha building was also demolished this week. The Israeli government stated that these buildings were controlled by Hamas, but the militants deny this. There is no exact information about casualties so far. The Israeli government is advising residents to move south and has promised to provide food, water, and medical assistance. However, the United Nations considers these areas crowded and dangerous. Hospitals are overcrowded with patients. This week, five children died while waiting to get water. Many houses in Gaza City have been destroyed within a month. The Israeli government is trying to warn citizens. The city’s population is approximately one million people. The UN emphasizes the risk of famine. Israeli military operations have continued since the attack organized by Hamas in October 2023. At least 63,000 people have died during this time, and 367 people have died from starvation. The situation remains complex and tense.

A school bus driver living in Connecticut unexpectedly struck it rich. This was reported by Zamin.uz. He won $150,000 in the Powerball lottery. This success happened because of his cat. Russell Raff bought the lottery ticket as a joke but then lost it at home. He didn’t notice that the ticket had rolled away from the head of the bed and didn’t even try to check the numbers. The situation changed unexpectedly. Because the cat got stuck behind the bed, Russell had to move the furniture with his sons and in doing so found the long-lost ticket. He then carefully checked the ticket several times and realized he had won when he saw that four out of five numbers were correct. Thanks to the Power Play option, his winnings increased to $150,000. This event shows people that small strokes of luck in life can lead to big results. It also suggests that sometimes ordinary situations can open the door to unexpected opportunities. Russell Raff’s story demonstrates the importance of patience and attention. The cat became his lucky helper. This case will surely serve as a source of inspiration for many people.

A cat named Mono was born in Great Britain, astonishing people with its unusual structure. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This cat has six legs, a condition considered rare among veterinarians and linked to changes in embryonic development. Specialists call this “fetus absorption.” In this process, one of the twins stops developing and partially attaches to the body of the other. The two extra legs on Mono’s abdomen appeared for this reason. According to veterinarians at a clinic in Norwich, the extra legs are not connected to internal organs and are only attached to the skin. Therefore, they do not harm the animal’s health. If necessary, they can be surgically removed in the future. Currently, Mono feels well, eats normally, and moves without problems. Mono’s owner prefers not to interfere with the cat and does not intend to remove the extra legs. He said: “Mono has already become a local star. We love him just the way he is.” This case serves as an interesting example of unusual conditions in animals and how their health can be maintained.

US President Donald Trump plans to sell advanced “Reaper” and other large military drones abroad. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This decision aims to facilitate the sale of drones to Saudi Arabia and other countries. According to the plan, drones will be recognized as aircraft, which allows bypassing the restrictions of the 1987 missile control treaty. Thus, US companies will be able to freely sell drones on the international market. Currently, US drone manufacturers are competing with rivals in countries such as Israel, China, and Turkey. This new policy will help strengthen the US as a leading drone supplier. The first major sale is expected to be made with Saudi Arabia. However, experts warn that this decision may increase the risk of violence and instability in the region. Therefore, caution is necessary when selling military technologies.

The war in Gaza has made people's lives very difficult. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Millions of people are continuously struggling to find food, clean water, and safe shelter. Living conditions in this area have sharply deteriorated, and people face great difficulties in meeting their daily needs. 20-year-old Mosab al-Trtori lives in a camp with his family. He was previously a student, but now he is trying to survive and find a bowl of food. Due to the war, basic products such as rice, lentils, and flour are very expensive and scarce. Their prices have increased several times compared to the pre-war period. Water is also in short supply, and many people are forced to use well water, which may be harmful, instead of drinking water. Mosab's main hope is for the war to end and to return to education. However, currently, his life and the lives of many Gazans consist only of the struggle to survive. The difficulties caused by the war have fundamentally changed people's daily lives and subjected them to serious trials.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has clearly stated that he will not go to Moscow to hold talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Zelenskiy emphasized that such proposals are made only to buy time, and the Kremlin is actually playing a political game with the United States. In an interview with ABC News, he said that with rockets raining down on the country every day and cities and villages under constant attack, it is impossible to go to Moscow. Zelenskiy described this action as heading towards a center of terrorism. The Ukrainian leader directly addressed Vladimir Putin, inviting him to Kyiv for negotiations. At the same time, Putin stated at a press conference following his trip to China that if Zelenskiy agrees, he is ready to hold negotiations in Moscow. However, Zelenskiy firmly believes that Kyiv is the most appropriate place for negotiations at this time. The issue of negotiations is being closely watched by the international community and within Ukraine. Zelenskiy's firm position is causing widespread discussions among the country's public and on the international stage. This situation will remain an important factor in determining how the negotiation process unfolds in the future. The Ukrainian leader is steadfastly maintaining his position, prioritizing the country's security and sovereignty.

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.

An unusual situation has occurred in the political arena in Germany. This was reported by Zamin.uz. On the eve of the local elections scheduled to take place in September, seven candidates died in North Rhine-Westphalia. This event has sparked great interest among the country's public and raised many questions. According to information, all the deceased candidates were members of the "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) party. For this reason, some political observers and journalists suggest the possibility of conspiracy behind their deaths. In particular, the fact that representatives of only one party have died is causing various suspicions among the public. However, local government officials reject these assumptions. They emphasize that although the death of candidates before elections is a rare occurrence, there are such examples in history. But it is true that the number of deaths this time is higher than usual. According to official police information, so far it has been confirmed that four candidates died of natural causes. Investigations are ongoing regarding the remaining three cases. Analysts believe that such incidents before elections can cause various problems and speculations in the political environment. This may negatively affect citizens' trust and the transparency of the election process. The public is currently divided into two groups: on one side, those who accept this as a simple coincidence and a matter of life, and on the other, those who suspect political reasons. In any case, this event has sparked extensive discussion in Germany's political life.

The Israeli government has issued statements that caused a chill in relations between Paris and Tel Aviv. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar criticized French President Emmanuel Macron, calling him an inappropriate person. According to Saar, Macron's proposal to recognize the State of Palestine was perceived as a move against Israel. For this reason, Israel is demanding that Paris abandon this idea for Macron's visit to the country. This situation has sparked protests and negative reactions in France. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his opinion on social media, condemning Macron's plan to recognize the State of Palestine following the bloody events of October 7. He emphasized that this decision could escalate terrorism and increase the risk of a new Iran-influenced regime emerging in the Gaza Strip. Thus, the Israeli government is strongly criticizing France's policy, and political tensions between the countries are intensifying.

New proposals are being discussed to introduce a paid fee for migrant families to stay in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Representatives of the "New People" faction in parliament are proposing to establish a payment system for migrant families who do not work to remain in Russian territory. According to them, this will maintain a balance between the interests of the state and society. According to current legislation, the spouse and children of a working-age migrant automatically have the right to stay in Russia. However, deputies emphasize that these families use infrastructure and social services but do not contribute financially to the economy. For this reason, the paid stay system could bring additional revenue to the budget and encourage lawful employment. The faction representatives stated in an appeal to Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev that it is necessary to enshrine this proposal in law. According to the project, the amount and procedure of payment for non-working migrant families will be determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Experts emphasize that the new system will encourage migrants to find official jobs, pursue education, and actively participate in the economy. This will not only strengthen the legal status of families but also serve to expand the legal labor market in the country. At the same time, the proposal has sparked social discussions. Some say such a measure would be an excessive burden on migrants, while others consider it necessary to ensure fair use of state services. If the bill is adopted, new rules and responsibilities will be introduced for migrant families in Russia. This could remain a significant change in the country's migration policy history.

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.

Chinese scientists have made a new discovery that could fundamentally change previously held views about the origin of life on Earth. This was reported by Zamin.uz. They identified a previously unknown hydrothermal system called "Kunlun" at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. This system is located northeast of Papua New Guinea and consists of nearly twenty craters. The largest crater measures 1.8 kilometers in width and up to 130 meters in depth. Scientists refer to these craters as a "cluster of pipes" because large amounts of hydrogen are released from these areas, which supports the entire ecosystem's life. The "Kunlun" area covers approximately 11 square kilometers, making it larger than the famous "Lost City" region. The environment here has characteristics similar to the early stages of Earth's development. According to experts, life may have originated billions of years ago based precisely on such hydrogen emissions. Various organisms living in deep water inhabit the system, including shrimp, tube worms, sea anemones, and lobsters. They feed on chemicals in an environment where sunlight does not reach. Interestingly, the "Kunlun" system does not resemble typical volcanic sources. The temperature here is below 90 degrees, and the system is located not at the boundary of oceanic plates but at the center of a plate. Calculations show that "Kunlun" produces more than 5 percent of the world's underwater hydrogen. Scientists believe that the craters formed gradually as hydrogen accumulated underground and then exploded. This discovery is of great significance for science.

In Great Britain, scientist Albert Einstein's first and oldest violin was put up for auction. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to experts, the price of this musical instrument could reach up to 405 thousand dollars. This was reported by The Telegraph. Einstein bought the violin in the mid-1890s, before moving from Munich to Switzerland. The famous scientist's first instrument was hidden during World War II. An interesting fact about the violin is that the word "Lina" is engraved on its surface. Later, Einstein handed this violin along with other belongings to his colleague Max von Laue. Twenty years later, Max von Laue gifted the instrument to the scientist's admirer, Margareta Homrich from Braunschweig. This violin was kept in Margareta's family for many years. Finally, her grandchild decided to put the ancient violin up for auction.

On September 5, a major road traffic accident occurred in the Zayinsk district of Tatarstan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of this incident, three citizens of Uzbekistan died. According to the Tatarstan prosecutor's office, the accident took place at the 38th kilometer of the Naberezhnye Chelny–Olmetyevsk road.

The car driver and two passengers died at the scene due to the injuries sustained. Currently, an investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the prosecutor's office has taken the process under control. The Consulate of Uzbekistan in Kazan confirmed that three of our compatriots died at the scene. The consulate is closely monitoring the incident and plans to send the bodies to Uzbekistan at the expense of the Migration Agency once the necessary official procedures are completed. The deceased were young men aged 35, 33, and 30, all residing in the Namangan region. This tragic event has deeply affected their families and relatives. Investigations into the causes and details of the incident are ongoing. Mass media and official authorities regularly provide updates about the event.

The famous red slippers worn by Judy Garland in the Hollywood classic film "The Wizard of Oz" were sold at Heritage Auctions for 32.5 million dollars. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The initial starting price was 1.55 million dollars, with estimates around 3 million. However, the final price surprised everyone and set a new historical record for "Ruby Slippers." Several pairs of slippers were used in the film, and currently only four of them have been preserved. One of them was sold for 666 thousand dollars in 2000, while another was purchased in 2012 by Steven Spielberg and Leonardo DiCaprio and donated to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. The sold pair of slippers are considered the highest quality examples and were specifically used in close-up scenes showing Dorothy's feet in the film. The slippers previously belonged to collector Michael Shaw. They were stolen after being placed in a museum in 2005, but the FBI found them in 2018 and returned them to their owner. It was revealed that Terry Jon Martin was behind the theft and believed the slippers were made of genuine rubies. In the film, these slippers were the key to Dorothy's return home. The character had to tap the heels of the slippers three times while repeating the words "There's no place like home." These scenes are very famous in film history, and the slippers hold great significance as a cultural heritage.

An unexpected incident occurred in the city of Zonguldak, Turkey. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The luxury yacht named “Dolce Vento,” built in Istanbul and valued at approximately one million dollars, lost its balance and sank within just 15 minutes after being launched. This was reported by the Fox News agency. The 26-meter-long yacht was taken out to sea for testing after being handed over to its new owner. However, shortly after being launched, the vessel lost its balance, capsized to one side, and the sinking process began. At the time of the incident, the yacht had a captain and two crew members on board. When the situation worsened, they jumped into the water and managed to reach the shore. Such tests can sometimes create difficult conditions, but this time no one was injured. Witnesses recorded the incident and shared it on social media. The Turkish Coast Guard and port officials quickly arrived at the scene and took safety measures. An investigation is underway to determine the causes of the incident.

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.

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.

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.
