The BBC Uzbek service journalist Avazbek Takhirov has been accredited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan and now is able to perform activities within Uzbekistan.

Earlier in December the journalist of the Voice of America Navbahor Imamova was also accredited by the Foreign Ministry.

Saida Mirziyoyeva, the elder daughter of the President Mirziyoyev, posted on her Facebook page a photo on which the President of Uzbekistan is cooking pilaf.

“Sometimes our dad cooks pilaf himself for the family, while we help him. Happy Eid al-Fitr Eve!” she noted.

The President of Uzbekistan has two daughters, one son and five grandchildren.

The newly-made roof of the international arrivals terminal of the Islam Karimov Airport was clearly not impervious to heavy rain on Monday evening.

Photos and videos circulating on social media showed water dropping from the roof of the airport. The airport administration today confirmed that there were instances of rain getting through the roof.

The facilities nearby, including taxiways and part of the landing zone were also flooded. A spokesman said too much water in the drains had led to blockages. “The drainage system to which the terminal is connected was full of water, and therefore could not cope with the flow,” the source said.

According to the source, the airport administration intends to provide video materials to the Presidential Administration and TashGIPROGOR design institute, which performed the construction and development of the terminal project with an aim to obtain a technical solution.

In April, the Tashkent city administration named five reasons why the capital does not cope with heavy rainfall. One of them is the outdated irrigation and drainage system, which needs almost US$ 60 million to overhaul.
