UK considering options after access to EU research scheme stalls

The government is "urgently" considering its next steps after its attempts to join a key EU research scheme once again stalled.

The UK has been seeking to access Horizon Europe, the EU's €95.5bn (£81.2bn) scientific funding programme, since it left the EU.

The government said the EU "continues to decline this request" . A meeting on Thursday ended in deadlock.

The European Commission has been approached for comment.

Britain's continued participation was agreed in principle under the Trade and Co-operation Agreement, the post-Brexit trade deal. This participation has never been ratified.

The government has accused the EU of breaching its treaty obligations over Horizon but Brussels says there was no "precise deadline" to finalize access.

The delays are due to an ongoing dispute about post-Brexit arrangements for Northern Ireland.

Tensions escalated after Liz Truss, as foreign secretary, introduced legislation that could allow ministers to scrap parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol, unilaterally.

The protocol, which prevents border checks from taking place on the Irish border, was agreed by UK and the EU to help protect the Northern Ireland peace deal - the Good Friday Agreement

The EU has since launched legal action against the UK for failing to fully implement the protocol. There is speculation negotiations could soon resume about how to reform the agreement.

Officials met in Brussels after Britain launched dispute proceedings about Horizon access in August.

Russia's Putin willing to end war

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he believes Russia's leader is seeking an end to the war he began in Ukraine, and that a "significant step" will be made.

SLOTXO The money spent on that bet is real money. The money we invest, we get a lot, we lose a lot, it depends on us as well. Don't do anything.

He said his impression from recent talks with Vladimir Putin was that he wanted to "end this as soon as possible".

Ukraine has recaptured swathes of its territory this month.

The Turkish leader indicated things were "quite problematic" for Russia.

Mr Erdogan spoke of having "very extensive discussions" with Mr Putin at a summit in Uzbekistan last week.

In an interview with US broadcaster PBS, the Turkish leader said he gained the impression that the Russian president wanted a speedy end to the war.

"He is actually showing me that he's willing to end this as soon as possible," Mr Erdogan said. "That was my impression, because the way things are going right now are quite problematic."

He also said 200 "hostages" would soon be exchanged between the two sides. He gave no further detail of who would be included in such a prisoner swap.

Mr Erdogan has repeatedly sought to mediate during the war, promoting a "balanced" stance for Nato member Turkey, while opposing Western sanctions on Russia.

He helped the UN mediate a resumption of grain exports from Ukraine and said last week he was trying to organise direct ceasefire talks.

China records first monkeypox case

China recorded its first case of monkeypox on Friday (Sep 16) in a person who had recently entered the country, officials said.

slot1911 Therefore, you should not play online games without knowing the symbols, because they may make you miss out on making a profit. We will invite you to get to know these symbols first.

Health authorities in the southwestern city of Chongqing said the person displayed symptoms while undergoing quarantine for COVID-19.

Under China's zero-COVID policy, people entering the country must typically complete between one and two weeks of isolation on arrival.

The monkeypox patient was diagnosed after developing symptoms including a skin rash, the city health commission said in a report, categorising the case as an "imported infection".

The patient "is undergoing centralised isolation at a designated hospital and is in a stable condition", the report said.

Because the patient had been immediately isolated upon entering the city, "there are no traces of social transmission, and the risk of transmission is low", it said.

Last week, Hong Kong logged its first monkeypox case in a 30-year-old man who showed symptoms while undergoing the city's three-day COVID-19 quarantine period for arrivals.

Ugandan MPs hold special sitting for Queen Elizabeth II

Uganda's parliament has held a special sitting to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who died in Scotland on Thursday.

If you're playing SLOTXO online games, where there's only a payout rate and nothing more, it's going to look like there's nothing more appealing than other online games.

The motion was moved by the prime minister and went on for two hours.

The Queen first visited Uganda in 1954 and then in 2007 for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting - her last official visit to Africa.

The MPs, who were each given two minutes to speak, said that Her Majesty had presided over the Commonwealth with distinction and played an important and unifying role.

Female lawmakers especially said that she was an inspiration to women in leadership.

"She was a distinguished leader. A leader who has shown commitment, who has united the commonwealth", said Beatrice Anywar MP.

Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja said "her visits contributed immensely to Uganda’s development and global standing, which was exemplified by the ability to host international conferences and ultimately encouraged direct investment in tourism".

Another MP, Jonathan Ebwalu, said she died "too young, at only 96, at the time when the world needed her most".

The Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda was named after her to commemorate her 1954 visit.

Several roads and roundabouts in the capital Kampala are also named after members of the UK royal family.

Even though the opposition supported the motion and appreciated Her Majesty’s long leadership, they spoke strongly against leaders of republics staying too long in power. Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has been in power since 1986.

Most speakers also talked about the Queen’s role in fostering international cooperation and good governance.

However, many young people in the country have not joined in with the tributes, as some feel that the British monarchy has not taken full accountability for the legacy of colonialism.

Accession Proclamation read at Hillsborough

The Accession Proclamation has been read at Hillsborough Castle in County Down, at the same time as ceremonies in Edinburgh and Cardiff.

It's very difficult for online mobile slotxo slot games to cheat players because slot games are constantly being distributed depending on the prize.

The reading of the Principal Proclamation of the new King, Charles III, took place at St James's Palace in the City of London on Saturday.

King Charles is due to make his first visit to Belfast as monarch on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Liz Truss is expected to accompany the King, along with Camilla, the Queen Consort.

Charles became King following the death of his mother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday and an historic meeting at St James's Palace formally confirmed his role on Saturday.

As part of a UK tour, the King and Camilla will arrive in Belfast on Tuesday before travelling to Hillsborough Castle.

The Queen first visited Northern Ireland just after the end of World War Two in 1945, when she was Princess Elizabeth.

Scott Carson, the Mayor of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, said the people of Hillsborough were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the King.

"I think there is a great sense of anticipation and positivity already in the air," he said.

"The Royal family and especially King Charles, have fond memories of Royal Hillsborough and Hillsborough Castle and he has enjoyed spending time here and I look forward to seeing him visit shortly and I know the people within Royal Hillsborough and the whole borough and across Northern Ireland are also eagerly awaiting that as well."

During Tuesday's visit, King Charles will meet the new Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Chris Heaton-Harris, as well as local party leaders.

He is to receive a message of condolence led by the Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

The King and Queen Consort will then meet leaders from all the major faiths in Northern Ireland before a service of prayer and reflection at St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.

Truss faces tough choice on energy company profits

Prime Minister Liz Truss is adamant she won't put a windfall tax on the energy companies, but she will need to address the issue of their huge profits.

slot 35 available with unlimited options Straight web slots are easy to crack. There's a new updated game day after day, so everyone can come in and play it without repeating it.

The energy market consultancy Cornwall Insight estimates energy prices are likely to be more than £40bn higher because of the fact that some electricity generators are being paid based on the hugely inflated gas price.

That's because under the current market structure, the price paid to some of them is often set by the highest cost generator in the market.

That is a particularly pressing issue when the government is planning to spend tens of billions of pounds of taxpayers' money subsidising the nation's energy bills.

So, if the new prime minister doesn't want a windfall tax, how is she going to deal with the issue?

We asked number 10 that yesterday and they told my colleague BBC Political Correspondent Helen Catt that they were "looking at reforming the UK energy market fundamentally".

The BBC understands the government's preferred solution is for renewable and nuclear generators on contracts that allow them to make these huge profits, to voluntarily take up new 10 or 15-year contracts at fixed prices well below the current rates.

These would replace the current arrangement where the price these companies receive for energy is set by the highest cost generator in the market at the time - that's gas, for the forseeable future.

It means a very significant reduction in revenues for the companies, at least in the medium term.

Aberystwyth Uni nursing degree to encourage Welsh speakers

Students enrolled on a new nursing degree course have welcomed the opportunity to learn close to home.

If you turn to online SLOTXO gaming as well, play online casinos and play online casinos. Slot games are going to get out of trouble enough.

On Monday, Aberystwyth University in Ceredigion welcomes 53 students to the new course which is partly in Welsh.

Health support worker Caryl James, from nearby Bow Street, said, as a single mother, studying for a degree course away from home was never an option.

"Getting a place on the course is amazing. I was really chuffed. I cried when I heard I had a place," she said.

Ms James, who also works as a phlebotomist alongside nurses at Bronglais Hospital in the town, said qualifying as a nurse had always been an ambition.

"But being a single mother, it would have been impossible for me to travel to a course in Swansea or anywhere else, so having the chance to do the course in Aberystwyth makes everything easier," she said.

"It feels like I'm stepping in to somebody else's life."

Fellow fresher Anna Stevens, from Penrhyncoch, said studying for such a degree would have been impossible while she had been an unpaid carer for her disabled son.

But, since Philip became an adult, she has received funding to enable carers to look after him.

"This is more than just a new chapter for me. I feel like it's a new life," she said.

"It's just surreal to have the opportunity to do this, and it's on my doorstep, which is amazing."

Ms Stevens, who also has a daughter in secondary school, said becoming a nurse would be a way of repaying the community that has helped her.

Hong Kong's Peak Tram reopens after 14 months

Hong Kong's Peak Tram, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, has reopened with a new look after a year-long closure.

If a player xo auto gets free spins, then it's called super luck because that means making a free profit, especially during the Free Spins Bonus period, it's a real money-making moment.

The funicular, the oldest in Asia, dates back to 1888 and previously drew over six million visitors annually before Covid-19 struck.

The service welcomed back passengers on Saturday - even as tight coronavirus rules remain in place in the city.

It has undergone a $799m HKD (£87m) facelift since closing in June 2021.

Tourist numbers in Hong Kong are a fraction of their pre-Covid levels - in the past year, 134,000 people visited the city compared to 65 million in 2018.

The tram's makeover includes a redesigned terminus in the city's central business district and more spacious tramcars.

But curbs on overseas visitors due to Covid-19 remain in place, meaning Hong Kong is unlikely to see a return to previous tourism numbers any time soon.

Earlier this month, hotel quarantine requirements for people arriving from abroad were reduced from seven days to three.

But they must still undergo another four days of "medical surveillance" either at home or at any hotel, and are restricted in where they can travel.

Cases in the city are on the rise, with more than 7,800 infections and seven deaths reported on Friday.

Hong Kong's Health Secretary Lo Chung-mau warned that daily cases could soon exceed 10,000 and announced a negative test requirement for people dining in groups of eight or more.

Can I appeal my exam results?

If you are unhappy with your GCSE or BTec grades, speak to your school or college first as they can help set out what your options are.

Online queenslot slotxo gambling in the slot format, although easy to play and does not require large investments, can generate profit from the game.

They can contact the exam board and ask them to review your marks.

After that, if you’re still not happy, you can ask your school or college to appeal the result – and the exam board will then look at your work again.

BTec students can also appeal directly to the exam board.

There’s also the option of re-sitting your exam – again, it’s best to ask your teachers for advice about this.

Teen who rescued children from Algeria wildfire dies

A teenage girl is being hailed as a hero on Algerian social media after she succumbed to serious burn injuries sustained while rescuing children from the recent wildfires.

xo wallet If you're a betting bounty hunter who's just played or started playing online slot games for the first time.

Dounia Bouhelassa,18 was a scout leader.

She is believed to have rescued dozens of children from a park in the city of El Kala, east of the country.

The little scouts with their leader Dounia were engulfed in flames while walking in the woods last week.

Eight scouts were injured in the incident.

Dounia died while being treated at a hospital in her home city of Constantine.

More than 40 people have died and 200 others injured in the wildfires that have hit the north east of Algeria.

Glasgow Museums to return seven stolen artefacts to India

Glasgow Museums has agreed to return seven stolen artefacts to India.

Placing the highest bet on 168slotxo.info game on spinning a particular wheel creates an opportunity for slot players to earn big prize money.

Delegates from the Indian High Commission sealed the move by signing an agreement at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

It is thought to be the first repatriation to India from a UK museum - with more to follow elsewhere.

Six of the items, including 14th Century carvings and 11th Century stone door jams, were stolen from shrines and temples in the 19th Century.

The seventh object, a ceremonial sword or called a tulwar, with its scabbard, was stolen in 1905 from the collection of the Nizam of Hyderabad by his prime minister.

He then sold it to the British general Sir Archibald Hunter.

All of the artefacts were gifted to Glasgow Museums.

Glasgow Museums said the items were believed to be from Kanpur, Kolkata, Gwalior, Bihar and Hyderabad.

Some of them are thought to be about 1,000 years old.

Sujit Ghosh, acting Indian high commissioner, welcomed the return of the items.

He said: "These artefacts are an integral part of our civilisational heritage and will now be sent back home.

"We express our appreciation to all the stakeholders who made this possible, especially Glasgow Life and Glasgow City Council."

It is not the first time Glasgow has returned stolen artefacts to their source nation.

Duncan Dornan, head of Glasgow Museums, said: "The process of repatriation of objects has been going on for a long time in Glasgow.

Hungry pig-on-the-loose apprehended in Great Yarmouth

A hungry pig was apprehended by police after being spotted munching its way through several gardens.

hilorich 456 To play that casino. The fact that we sit for so long can cost us more profit. So before we play that bet, we should study the things we need to know. So that we can make more profit.

The escaped portly porker was found in the Southtown area of Great Yarmouth on Saturday.

Norfolk Police officers said "it seemed a bit harsh to arrest the pig for criminal damage" and, as they could not find his owner, it was taken in by Hillside Animal Sanctuary.

Staff there said the pig was probably a pet but it had not yet been claimed.

"It's very friendly, but it doesn't have an identifying ear tag so we don't know who it belongs to," a spokeswoman said.

Posting about the pig on Facebook, police wrote: "As an officer, you think you've seen it all, but PCs Joe Pike and Richard Bladon had a new experience on Saturday morning after they were called to the rescue of a big black piggy munching its way through gardens in the Southtown area."

They added they were grateful to the sanctuary staff for taking in the wayward pig "before he turned to bacon in the heat".

Fires moving faster than you can run - firefighters on tackling wildfires

The challenges firefighters in the UK face when confronted with large-scale wildfires are enormous.

Buy free spins online xo web direct web Not through an agent, stable, safe and worry-free. The web with the most free spins to choose from

Tinder-dry conditions and the heatwave that many of us across the country are experiencing mean the risk of wildfires is very high.

Kent, one of the areas where the Met Office has raised the fire severity index to exceptional for Saturday and Sunday, has already seen a nearly tenfold increase in the number of vegetation fires between July 2021 and July 2022 (44 to 400).

But what makes wildfires especially hard to tackle?

"It changes on a minute-by-minute basis," says Richard Hawley, wildfire officer at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

"One minute they are knee-high, the next they are above your head. It is one of the most arduous fires our crews face."

Wildfires spread rapidly - left unchecked, they can rage for miles and miles across the countryside. If the wind changes direction, so could the fire.

Four-day extreme heat warning comes into effect

An amber extreme heat warning has come into force, with temperatures forecast to hit 37C (99F) in some parts of the UK over the next four days.

You can choose to play any SLOTXO game in the trial system so that you can understand the slot games better.

The Met Office alert for southern and central England and parts of Wales runs from midnight on Thursday until Sunday.

It has also issued its highest alert for fire severity over the weekend, warning there is an "exceptional" risk of blazes spreading in many places.

The heatwave will likely affect health, transport and working conditions.

There is also an increased risk of water safety incidents, the Met Office warned.

While the record-breaking temperatures seen in July, when the mercury topped 40C (104F) for the first time, are not expected this week, the heat in some areas could get close to local or regional records.

"This heatwave, temperatures won't be as high. But the big difference with this current heatwave is that it's much more prolonged," said Matt Taylor, a BBC Weather forecaster.

"We've already seen temperatures above 30C every day this week - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - and that will continue until Sunday."

He said temperatures could reach 35C and peak at 37C in some areas between the Midlands and London

In Wales, Cardiff may see temperatures exceeding 30C.

Scotland and Northern Ireland meanwhile are likely to be cooler with highest temperatures in the mid-20s, the Met Office says.

Covid lockdown strands tourists on 'China's Hawaii'

More than 80,000 tourists have been left stranded in a popular resort in China after a coronavirus outbreak sparked a lockdown.

Authorities cancelled all flights and trains from Sanya, known as "China's Hawaii", on Saturday, a day after 263 positive cases were confirmed.

Travellers must now present five negative PCR tests over seven days before being allowed to leave.

China is the only major economy to still follow a "zero Covid" policy.

The country has recorded fewer than 15,000 deaths since the pandemic began, according to Johns Hopkins University. However, there have been concerns about the impact of the strict rules, including mass testing and local lockdowns, on the economy.

The restrictions on Sanya, a city on the southern Hainan Island and a popular surfing destination, come during the peak tourist season.

Essential services such as supermarkets and pharmacies remain open, but entertainment venues have been closed since last week, AFP news agency reports.

Authorities have said they will ask hotels to offer a 50 per cent discount until restrictions are lifted.

Sanya is not the only city to have gone into lockdown in recent months. Around a million people in a suburb of Wuhan, the city in central China where Covid-19 was first recorded, faced fresh curbs last month after four asymptomatic cases were confirmed.

In June, meanwhile, Shanghai's 25 million residents finally emerged from a strict-two month lockdown.
