Saudi state television reported authorities there saw the crescent moon. However, there are some Asian countries, like Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, that will begin Ramadan on Tuesday after failing to see the crescent moon. This year's Ramadan comes as West Asia remains inflamed by Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar; the month cycles through the seasons and the months in the Gregorian calendar.

Doors always open for TMC, says Congress after Mamata announces candidates for LS polls
"The Indian National Congress has always maintained that such an agreement has to be finalised through negotiations and not by unilateral announcements," he said in a post on X. "The Indian National Congress has always wanted the INDIA group to fight the BJP together," he also said. Congress and TMC leaders have been engaged in a war of words in the recent past over seat-sharing in West Bengal, with the Mamata Banerjee-led party asserting that it cannot offer more than two seats to the Congress. The Congress has two MPs from West Bengal. The TMC is part of the INDIA bloc and has stated that the opposition parties are united in the fight against the BJP to defeat it in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Oscars 2024: Here are the favourites to win at 96th Academy Awards
But aside from the time shift, this year's show is going for many tried-and-true Academy Awards traditions. Nolan is tipped to win his first best director Oscar, while Robert Downey Jr. (best supporting actor) and Cillian Murphy (best actor) are also predicted to win their first Academy Award. While an Oscar for Stone, who won for her performance "La La Land," would be her second statuette, an win for Gladstone would make Academy Awards history. "The Zone of Interest" is the heavy favorite to win best international film.Historically, having big movies in the mix for the Oscars' top awards has been good for broadcast ratings. The Academy Awards' largest audience ever came when James Cameron's "Titanic" swept the 1998 Oscars.Last year's ceremony, where a very different best-picture contender in "Everything Everywhere All at Once" triumphed, was watched by 18.7 million people, up 12% from the year prior.

Initiatives taken to boost R&D: Need to balance IPRs with development needs, says FM Sitharaman
(You can now subscribe to our(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channelFinance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the government is creating an environment that will allow the country’s intellectual property rights (IPRs) ecosystem to flourish.At the same time, the need to protect the IPRs of innovators has to be balanced with the imperative of using them for the benefit of all, she said, listing the steps taken by the government to bolster research and development (R&D).“We are trying to make them ( IPR laws) work as a facilitator, a booster, and not as a barrier to the process of R&D,” Sitharaman said on Saturday, asserting that India’s IP regime remains compliant with the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights ( TRIPS ) framework of the World Trade Organization.The minister was speaking at the launch of a book on patent law by justice Prathiba Singh of the Delhi High Court.Some foreign organisations and even the US Trade Representative's Office earlier raised concerns about India's IPR regime.Although such criticism from overseas entities has abated in recent years, it hasn't completely ended.In 2016, the government put in place a new IPR regime. Dealing with patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyrights, geographical indications, semiconductors, integrated circuit layout design and trade secrets—all were brought under one umbrella framework.India retained its 40th place out of 132 nations in the Global Innovation Index 2023 rankings published by the World Intellectual Property Organization, having moved up from 81 in 2015.Sitharaman said the government has established the National Intellectual Property awards to recognise individuals and organisations that have created as well as commercialised IP. It has launched a scheme for pedagogy and research, under which 37 IPR chairs have been established at key institutions to promote such studies and research, she added.A cell for IPR promotion and management has been set up. It’s been instrumental in raising awareness through tailored resource materials and programmes in various educational institutions and industry bodies. As many as 1,200 events have been conducted through this initiative.The government has also approved the accession to three important global pacts — the Nice agreement concerning international classification of goods and services for the registration of marks; the Vienna agreement relating to the classification of the figurative elements of marks; and the Locarno agreement for industrial designs, she said.This move has opened up fresh avenues for Indians to better exhibit their innovation prowess globally, she added.
