Great news!

UK to re-join EU's Horizon science programme
The final deal is set to be agreed within hours and could be announced on Thursday or at the weekend's G20 summit by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as first reported today by Bloomberg. Sources have confirmed the report to Sky News.
The issue has been on the prime minister's desk for weeks while he attempts to negotiate a higher sum for British scientists to ensure they catch up after the two-year absence.
There had been fears the deal between the UK and and the EU may stall over the sums involved.
Sky News understands that Mr Sunak has authorised the deal in principle and is likely to speak to Ursula Von der Leyen, the European Commission President, to finalise it within hours.
Britain benefitted more than any other EU country from grants handed out under the Horizon programme which offered funding and leadership of pan-European research groups and access to equipment and facilities.
