00:00There's a little confusion in the Muslim world about the start of the holy month of Ramadan this
00:05time. In Mecca it starts today, so that's Saudi Arabia fasting now, but Turkey and Iran say it
00:10starts tomorrow. Here in France, with the largest Muslim population in Europe, excluding Russia,
00:15there is a split. I can add some personal input. My friend Tariq and his family started their fast
00:21today, in line with the Grand Mosque of Paris, but the Council of Muslim Faith is signed on for
00:26starting Ramadan tomorrow. So why the confusion? Here's Ellen Gainsford and Bilal Tarobe.
