The United Arab Emirates (UAE) declared Monday (Mar 11) as the first day of Ramadan this year. According to a report by the Khaleej Times, the UAE's Moon-sighting committee said on Sunday that the crescent Moon — which signals the start of a month in the Islamic Hijri calendar — was spotted on Sunday evening.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) declared Monday (Mar 11) as the first day of Ramadan this year. According to a report by the Khaleej Times, the UAE's Moon-sighting committee said on Sunday that the crescent Moon — which signals the start of a month in the Islamic Hijri calendar — was spotted on Sunday evening. Temperatures have come down in the country due to heavy rainfall over the weekend. The report said that this Ramadan would be pleasant with the weather in the UAE from March-April being warm to hot. Islamic months last 29 or 30 days depending on when the Moon is sighted. The report added that since the Moon was spotted on Sunday evening, the month that precedes Ramadan in the Hijri calendar — Sha'ban — ended at 29 days. Ramadan 1, therefore, is on March 11. What is Ramadan? Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. According to the Islamic Networks Group (ING), in Ramadan, Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Qur’an, and fast from food and drink during the sunlit hours as a means of drawing closer to God and cultivating self-control, gratitude, and compassion for those less fortunate. "Ramadan is a month of intense spiritual rejuvenation with a heightened focus on devotion, during which Muslims spend extra time reading the Qur’an and performing special prayers. Those unable to fast, such as pregnant or nursing women, the sick, or elderly people & children, are exempt from fasting," ING's website states. "Muslims fast from pre-dawn to sunset, a fast of between 11-16 hours depending on the time of year for a period of 29-30 days. Ramadan entails forgoing food and drink, and if married, abstaining from sex during sunlit hours. For Muslims, Ramadan is a time to train themselves both physically and spiritually by avoiding any negative acts such as gossiping, backbiting, lying, or arguing," it adds. Ramadan crescent Moon seen in Saudi Arabia Apart from the UAE, the crescent Moon was also seen in Saudi Arabia, which means the month of fasting starts on Monday. Saudi state television reported authorities there saw the crescent moon. Soon after, Gulf Arab nations largely followed the announcement to confirm they as well would start fasting on Monday. Leaders also shared messages of congratulations the month had begun. According to a report by the news agency Associated Press, there are some Asia-Pacific countries like Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, that will begin Ramadan on Tuesday after failing to see the crescent moon.

India may have played a key role in discouraging Russia from launching a nuclear attack inside Ukraine in 2022 when President Vladimir Putin’s forces faced ‘one setback after another’ on the battlefield, according to a CNN report that cites US officials.

The report&nbsp;said intervention from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and nations like China may have forced Putin to drop the nuclear plans.

<h2>Alarming intelligence</h2>

In 2022, US officials grew worried that Russia might resort to using a tactical nuclear weapon in the face of growing challenges in Ukraine. It was when Ukrainian forces were advancing on Russian-occupied Kherson in the south. As per the report, Russia became concerned that its forces in Kherson could be surrounded and devastated if Ukrainian troops kept advancing.

The US officials believed that such a heavy loss could trigger the Kremlin to resort to using non-conventional/nuclear means.

“If significant numbers of Russian forces were ­overrun —​­ if their lives were shattered as such —​­ that was a sort of precursor to a potential threat directly to Russian territory or the Russian state,” a senior US official was quoted as saying by CNN.

“In Kherson at that time there were increasing signs that Russian lines could collapse. Tens of thousands of Russian troops were potentially vulnerable,” the official added.

In addition to this theory, the Biden administration had access to new, sensitive intelligence—based on analysis, several indicators and developments—that pointed towards the possibility of a nuclear Armageddon.

<h2>Russia’s ‘Dirty Bomb’ theory</h2>

During the same period, Russian loyalists and propagandists started talking about the possibility of Ukraine using a ‘dirty bomb’ against Russia.

Western officials believed it was a false flag story that Russia could use as cover for launching its own nuclear attack.

In October 2022, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu reportedly made a series of phone calls to defence officials in the US, the UK, France and Turkey, telling them that the Kremlin was “concerned about possible provocations by Kyiv involving the use of a dirty bomb.”

The US meanwhile started working with its allies to develop contingency plans and warn Russia about potential consequences.

<h2>Role of India and China</h2>

As per US officials, help was also sought from non-allies like India and China.

US officials say intervention from PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping helped avert a nuclear disaster in Ukraine.

“I think we believe showing the international community the concern about this, particularly the concern from key countries for Russia and the Global South, was also a helpful, persuasive factor and showed them what the cost of all this could be,” a US official said.

“I think the fact that we know China weighed in, India weighed in, others weighed in, may have had some effect on their thinking. I can’t demonstrate this positively, but I think that’s our assessment,” a second official was quoted as saying.

United States President Joe Biden has said that the approach of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza war is&nbsp;"hurting Israel more than helping Israel".&nbsp;

The remarks were made by Biden in an interview aired on Saturday (Mar 9). Such statements&nbsp;have highlighted the increasing impatience of the US leader with Israel.

Netanyahu "has a right to defend Israel, a right to continue to pursue Hamas," said Biden, but stated that "he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence of the actions taken."

"In my view, he is hurting Israel more than helping Israel," the US president said.

<h2>Biden makes contradictory remarks over "red line"</h2>

Amid the increasing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the left flank of Biden in an uproar, the US President made contradictory remarks while speaking about the "red line" over Israel's&nbsp;threatened offensive&nbsp;on Rafah in southern Gaza.

He remained ambiguous over the issue of Israel's likely invasion of Rafah where nearly 1.5 million of the territory's 2.4 million residents are currently living.

The 81-year-old Democrat said, "It is a red line. I am never going to leave Israel. The defence of Israel is still critical."

"There is no red line (in which) I want to cut off all weapons so they don't have the Iron Dome (air defence system) to protect them," he added.

Once again contradicting his remarks, Biden said that there were in fact "red lines... You cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians dead."

After delivering the State of the Union address, Biden had said on a hot mic that he would need to have a "come to Jesus" meeting with Netanyahu, which is an expression used in America and refers to a dramatic realisation that one needs to correct course.

Since the October 7 attack by Hamas, Israel has continuously bombarded the Gaza Strip.&nbsp;

On Saturday, Biden remained evasive on the possibility of another trip to Israel. He had made his last visit in October just after the deadly Hamas attack.

United States President Joe Biden on Saturday (March 9) expressed regret over&nbsp;using the term "illegal" while speaking about the suspected killer of Laken Riley during his State of the Union address.&nbsp;

Later, former president and Biden's 2024 GOP rival Donald Trump blasted the immigration policies of the Democrat and held him responsible for the death of Laken Riley, while speaking at a rally attended by the family and friends of a Georgia nursing student.

The US president expressed regret over his comments after he faced criticism from some of his party members for using the term in the context of people who have arrived or are living in the country illegally.

“I shouldn’t have used illegal, it’s undocumented,” said Biden, in an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart which was recorded in Atlanta.

The comment was made by Biden on Thursday night (Mar 7) while speaking about a bipartisan border security deal which did not go through after Trump opposed it.&nbsp;

Then, Trump ally US Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted at the president to say Laken Riley's name, who was a Georgia woman and was killed last month, further saying that she was killed "by an illegal."

"By an illegal, that's right," responded Biden and asked how many people are being killed by "legals."

<h2>Trump blasts Biden over 'illegal' comment</h2>

Trump, who was in Rome, Georgia, blasted Biden for the comments.

“Joe Biden went on television and apologised for calling Laken’s murderer an illegal," Trump said. “Biden should be apologising for apologising to this killer," he added.

Riley's parents, her sister and friends had joined Trump at his rally. “We share your grief," said Trump, in his remarks.

In his speech, Trump also attacked Biden for mispronouncing Riley’s name during his State of the Union address.

“What Joe Biden has done on our border is a crime against humanity and the people of this nation for which he will never be forgiven,” said Trump, adding that Riley “would be alive today if Joe Biden had not willfully and maliciously eviscerated the borders of the United States and set loose thousands and thousands of dangerous criminals into our country.”

Contrasting his rhetoric with Biden's remark, Trump said, “I say he was an illegal alien. He was an illegal immigrant."&nbsp;

He said that Biden has "no remorse". &nbsp;"He’s got no regret, he’s got no empathy, no compassion, and worst of all, he has no intention of stopping the deadly invasion that stole precious Laken’s beautiful American life,” said Trump.

Israel war: West's sham response to Gaza crisis | Biden's Gaza port plan fails

Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday (March 10) attended the opening of the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam even as pro-Palestine protesters staged demonstrations in the country demanding a ceasefire in the Gaza war.

The demonstrators denounced Herzog's presence at the event stating that it was "absurd that the president of Israel, committing war crimes at this very moment, is present at the opening of this important memorial".

Protesters, according to news agency Reuters, chanted "Never again is now" and "Ceasefire now" at a square close to the museum, while holding Palestinian flags and signs that said "Jews against genocide" and "The grandchild of a holocaust survivor says: Stop Gaza Holocaust".

Human rights group Amnesty International had placed signs around the museum directing Herzog to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague&nbsp;

South Africa has cited some of the remarks by Herzog in its International Court of Justice lawsuit against Israel.&nbsp;

He previously has said that not only militants but "an entire nation" was responsible for the attack that took place on Oct 7 and that Israel will fight "until we break their backbone".

Herzog claimed that his comments were misrepresented and that only a part of what he said was cited in the lawsuit in order to frame a case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The museum officials said that the invitation to Herzog was extended before the war broke out between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The museum released a statement saying it recognised that Herzog's presence raised questions however, it said he represented the homeland of Dutch Holocaust survivors who moved to Israel.

<h2>Israel says Hamas hardening stance on hostage deal</h2>

Meanwhile, in a continued effort to secure the release of hostages still held captive in Gaza, the Israeli spy chief met with his US counterpart on Saturday (March 9), Tel Aviv said.

"The head of the Mossad, David Barnea, met yesterday (Friday) with the head of the CIA, Bill Burns, as part of the ceaseless efforts to advance another hostage release deal," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement on behalf of the Mossad.

"Contacts and cooperation with the mediators continue all the time in an effort to narrow the gaps and reach agreements," said Mossad.

The statement comes amid mediators scrambling to secure a new ceasefire deal in the Gaza war before Ramadan which could begin as early as Sunday, depending on the lunar calendar.

"At this stage, Hamas is entrenching its positions like someone who is not interested in a deal and is striving to inflame the region during Ramadan at the expense of Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip," it said.

Mossad also stated that Hamas was aiming for unrest in the area to worsen during Ramadan.&nbsp;

Israeli officials have stated that the conflict between the warring sides would come to an end only with the defeat of the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

British defence minister Grant Shapps said on Saturday (March 9) that the UK&nbsp;warship HMS Richmond had downed two Houthi attack drones, joining French and American forces in safeguarding Red Sea maritime lanes.

"Last night, HMS Richmond used its Sea Ceptor missiles to shoot down two attack drones - successfully repelling yet another illegal attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis," Shapps said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday.

"The UK and our allies will continue to take the action necessary to save lives and protect freedom of navigation," he added.

On the other hand, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebel group on Saturday (March 9) said that it targeted bulk carrier Propel Fortune in the Gulf of Aden.

“The naval forces and the air force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two specific military operations.

"The second operation targeted a number of American war destroyers in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with 37 drones, and the two operations successfully achieved their goals,” Sarea added.

The Houthi rebels have been launching attacks against ships in the Red Sea since November. The group dubs the attacks as a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing war in Gaza between Israel and militant group Hamas.

<h2>US Navy shoots down 15 UAVs in Red Sea area</h2>

Meanwhile, the US Navy ships and aircraft downed 15 uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched by Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea area, said US Central Command (CENTCOM).

The UAVs were determined to present "an imminent threat to merchant vessels, U.S. Navy, and coalition ships in the region," it said.

Gunmen kidnapped at least 15 pupils from a school in Nigeria in a dawn raid on Saturday (Mar 9), days after about 300 children were abducted in another armed raid.

The gunmen forced their way into the school premises in the Sokoto village of Gidan Bakuso, in the country’s north-west, and started firing shots sporadically, waking and causing panic among the pupils, said the school’s owner, Liman Abubakar Bakuso.

“They succeeded in abducting 15 of my students, the oldest being 20 and 15, but all the others are below 13,” said Bakuso by phone, adding that a woman had also been kidnapped.

“We are in a state of panic and have been praying hard for their safe release,” he told Reuters.

Police did not respond to requests for comment.

Kidnappings at schools in Nigeria were first carried out by the jihadist group Boko Haram, which seized more than 200 students from a girls’ school in Chibok in Borno state a decade ago, causing global outrage.

In Hong Kong, two babies were discovered inside glass jars by a cleaning person in the main room of a vacant flat. A report by the South China Morning Post mentioned police as saying on Sunday that both children lacked birth records, and preliminary autopsies failed to confirm the time and cause of death.&nbsp;

Chief Inspector Au Yeung Tak of the New Territories North division told reporters that the bottles were 30 centimetres tall and that the bodies showed no indications of injuries.&nbsp;

He said, "[Forensic pathologists] were unable to tell when the babies had died, or whether they had died before or after their birth."&nbsp;

The official said that the preliminary autopsies could only estimate that the age of the babies was 24 to 30 weeks.&nbsp;

A 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman believed to be the parents, have been detained on suspicion of illegal disposal of bodies.&nbsp;

"This case is a tragedy and we appeal to the public, especially pregnant women and expectant parents, to seek professional medical advice and take proper care of their babies," Au Yeung added.&nbsp;

The cleaning person was asked by the landlord on Friday after the tenants moved. They were asked to move out because they owed six months' worth of rent.&nbsp;
