STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSLONDON - Britain on Thursday said it would join the European Union's flagship Horizon science research programme and its Copernicus earth observation programme, but not the Euratom nuclear research initiative.
It has five main missions: Adapting to climate change, making climate neutral cities, combating cancer, and restoring oceans and soil. Britain's government also said a new automatic clawback mechanism"means the UK will be compensated should UK scientists receive significantly less money than the UK puts into the programme".Copernicus, previously known as GMES , is the Earth observation component of the EU'S Space programme.
Britain said the association would give its earth observation sector access to data that could help with early flood and fire warnings, and the ability to bid for contracts they had been shut out of for three years.

A recession is on the horizon: StrategistGoldman Sachs (GS) has cut its odds of a recession occurring in the U.S. to 15 percent. But ClearBridge Investments Head of Economic and Market Strategy Jeff Schulze tells Yahoo Finance Live that there is a recession coming. “If you look out on the horizon, you’re going to continue to see the labor market weaken and I’m not sure I see a catalyst to see a plateau and ultimately cause that soft landing outside of a Fed pivot,” Schulze says. Schulze believes that the Federal Reserve “is going to be for higher for longer policy and I ultimately think, although we’re seeing signs of a loosening labor market, that we’re going to see this ultimately lead to layoffs and the recession that everybody’s given up on.”
