Some of the world's most talented golfers have arrived in Buckinghamshire for the third staging of The G4D Open.
Ukraine has long aspired to join the European Union and accession talks formally began last June.There were some concerns in Kyiv that the resources deal could hinder Ukraine's ability to join the EU, if it gave preferential treatment to US investors, as Kyiv and Brussels already have a strategic partnership on raw materials.
But the deal's text says that the US acknowledges Ukraine's intention to join the EU and the need for this agreement not to conflict with that.It also says that if Ukraine needs to revisit the terms of the deal because of "additional obligations" as part of joining the EU, then the US agrees to negotiate in good faith.Additionally, Kyiv says the US will support additional transfers of investment and technology in Ukraine, including from the EU and elsewhere.
The US has framed the deal as an essential one to sign if Ukraine is to continue to receive its military assistance.Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko - who flew to Washington DC to sign the deal - said it envisaged the US contributing new assistance in the future, such as air defence systems.
This, too, would mark a change in strategy for Trump - who has sought to wind down military support for Ukraine since returning to the White House.
One outstanding question is what the accord will ultimately mean for the state of the war. The Kremlin has not yet responded to the agreement.Members of the St Ives team, who completed the 35-mile challenge, said they were looking forward to a good night's rest and seeing their families over getting their phones back.
Sgt Tosh Hodgkins, from the Army's HQ South West cadet training team, said the challenge enabled the participants to be away from distractions and do nothing but talk to each other for 48 hours.He said: "They make their decisions without referring to anything electronic and it just opens up their worlds to what they can achieve without having to rely on technology and Google.
"It strips everything away and puts them back to the people they are and they rebuild themselves."A group of visually impaired rowers say a piece of simple technology is empowering more people to take up the sport.
