New York: Vanessa Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump's older son -- Donald Trump Jr -- has filed for divorce in a New York court after 12 years of marriage.

The couple has five children and has been struggling with domestic problems, apparently because of the prolonged absences of Trump Jr, from home.

The New York Post quoted the couple's friends, who said they had been expecting it for a long time. Now that the step has been taken, they expected it to conclude quickly, Efe news reported.

Vanessa Trump on Thursday went to the Manhattan Supreme Court to file necessary documents to divorce her 40-year-old husband, who heads his father's businesses after Trump de-linked himself from the organisation before the 2016 election.

Vanessa Trump, a 40-year-old former model, reportedly does not expect there to be a legal battle for custody of the couple's five children or over dividing up their assets.

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has announced that Eid-ul-Fitr will be observed on March 20 after the Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted.

The moon-sighting committee met and confirmed that the new moon was not visible, leading to the completion of 30 days of Ramzan before the festival. The announcement follows the traditional practice of determining Islamic months based on lunar sighting.

Earlier, the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development had declared that Eid holidays for employees in the private and non-profit sectors would begin from the evening of March 18 and continue for four days, in line with labour regulations.

Ministry spokesperson Mohammed Al Ruzaiqi had said the early announcement was made to help organisations plan work schedules while ensuring employees are able to observe the festival break.
