A crowd walks in a market area outside Dadar train station in Mumbai [File: Rajanish Kakade] India will be the world’s most populous country by the end of this month, hitting almost 1.43 billion people and eclipsing an ageing China, says the United Nations. “By the end of this month, India’s population is expected to reach 1,425,775,850 people, matching and then surpassing the population of mainland China,” the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs said in a statement on Monday.

      THE BIG QUESTION

      Features|Business and Economy Can China replace the US in the Middle East? As the Saudi-Iran deal shows, Beijing’s clout in the region is growing. But it can’t substitute US security presence — and might not want to. On April 6, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran met for the first time in seven years. A month earlier, top national security officials of the two countries had stunned the world, re-establishing diplomatic relations after years of hostility that had raised tensions across their shared neighbourhood. But the meetings that led to the dramatic breakthrough were not held in the Middle East. They were hosted and mediated by China, after years of unsuccessful attempts by Oman and Iraq. In the…

      All set for Operation Kaveri to airlift Indians from Sudan

      Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar. NEW DELHI: India on Monday named its evacuation operations by sea and air for Indians stranded in the African nation of Sudan as Operation Kaveri, with external affairs minister S. Jaishankar saying that about 500 Indians have reached Port Sudan where India has stationed its naval ship. This formally marks the start of the evacuation process. Two IAF transport aircraft had also been earlier positioned at Jeddah in Saudi Arabia to fly to airports in Sudan as soon as the Sudanese airspace is open to foreign aircraft. Jaishankar tweeted: “Operation Kaveri gets underway to bring back our citizens stranded in Sudan. About 500 Indians have reached Port Sudan. More on their way. Our ships and…

      Biden to launch 2024 bid today, betting record will top age worries

      US President Joe Biden. WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden is set on Tuesday to formally announce his plans to run for reelection in 2024, asking voters to give him more time to “finish the job” he began when he was sworn into office and to set aside their concerns about extending the run of America’s oldest president for another four years. Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term, is betting his first-term legislative achievements and more than 50 years of experience in Washington will count for more than concerns over his age. He faces a smooth path to winning his party’s nomination, with no serious Democratic rivals. But he’s still set to face a hard-fought struggle to…

      Apple wins major antitrust case against Fortnite maker Epic Games

      Epic originally sued Apple in 2020, as Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store after the game maker intentionally violated the App Store terms over in-app purchases. San Francisco: Apple has won the long-drawn antitrust court battle in the US against Fortnite maker Epic Games over its App Store policies. The ruling is a major setback for Epic Games and other developers and could set precedent for further antitrust claims, according to reports. The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld the district court’s earlier ruling related to Epic Games’ antitrust claims in favour of Apple, reports TechCrunch. However, it also upheld the lower court’s judgment in favour of Epic under California’s Unfair Competition Law. “Today’s decision reaffirms Apple’s resounding victory…

      Protests as UK ministers say they’ll house 1,200 asylum seekers in seaside town

      Furious residents living next to a disused prison earmarked to house up to 1,200 asylum seekers – mostly young men – on Sunday told how they are terrified for the safety of the elderly and children. Incensed locals living beside the dilapidated Northeye complex just off the East Sussex coast on Sunday night called on the Home Office to rethink what they said was a “horrifying” decision. Ministers have chosen the derelict jail outside the seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea to take migrants currently in hotels. Residents said they feel badly let down by the Home Office and their Tory MP, Huw Merriman. They claimed the elderly and families with young children were particularly alarmed at the prospect of so many young men…

      Indian nationals overtake Albanians to become second largest Channel migrants group

      Indians have overtaken Albanians to become the second biggest contingent crossing the Channel in small boats so far this year, according to Home Office data. Immigration experts believe Indians seeking to live and work in the UK illegally are targeting Channel crossings because it is now seen as an established route into Britain for economic migrants. In the first three months of this year, 675 Indian migrants were detected crossing the English Channel in small boats, second only to 909 Afghans, who agencies say are primarily asylum seekers fleeing the Taliban. That is almost the same as the total 683 Indians who crossed the Channel during the whole of last year, and 10 times the rate at the beginning of 2022. By contrast, the…

      China Issues Ultimatum to Pak Over Ill-Treatment of Its Workers After One Held on Blasphemy Charges

      China is upset with Pakistan over the ill-treatment of its workers in the country and has issued an ultimatum that any attack on its interests and establishment will be dangerous for Pakistan. Top Pakistan sources told CNN-News18 that China also told Pakistan that they will be sending their own security forces to safeguard their establishment, projects and workers. Upset with its fair-weather friend, China told Pakistan that it cannot be treated the way the country is dealing with the rest of the world. The Chinese side also told the Pakistan establishment that for implementation and execution of projects, they need commitment from both the political and military sides. Ties between Pakistan and China saw another stumbling block after a Chinese…

      Joe Biden says ‘yes’ to re-election bid

      He’s been asked so many times if he’ll run for president again; whether he’ll seek that second term. “It’s my intention…” is his stock answer. But tonight, on the eve of the day he is expected to formally announce, Joe Biden confirmed that intention to Sky News. “Are you going to run again, sir?” I asked in the Rose Garden as he disappeared into the Oval Office. “Yes!” he told me. It’s been most anticipated announcement in Washington DC. He seems to have cleared the self-imposed hurdle: his family’s approval. I’ll admit I was sceptical. I had wondered if First Lady Jill Biden would tell him “enough”. He would, after all, be 82 at the time of re-election and 86…
