London, Jan 25: Scientists have now been issued with a new challenge - to develop the melt-proof choccie biscuit.
In what could be seen as a nod to science's predictions of dramatically rising temperatures, UK Science Minister David Willetts praised the heat resistant biscuit as he announced the recipients of 600 million pounds of science and technology funding.
Willetts praised the scientist who has used advances in computing to "model the processes that keep chocolate attached to a Hobnob," the Daily Mail reported.
"Understanding what is happening to chocolate at a molecular levels is enabling us to develop chocolate that does not melt in warm climates - crucial for extending the market," he said.

One can only hope that Sean Penn returns to acting duties post haste (Diplomacy, interrupted, 24 February). The past 30 years of Anglo-Argentine-Falkland relationships are vastly more complicated that Mr Penn might imagine, and his very short introduction to Us-uk-Latin American relations during the cold war sounds like it has been extracted from the James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
While the dispatch of the Duke of Cambridge to the Falklands in the runup to the 30th anniversary of the 1982 conflict was an unfortunate piece of timing, it is nonetheless indicative of a broader truism that the British government has a responsibility to ensure that the Falkland Islands are defended and managed in terms of foreign and security affairs. In the past three decades, apart from the welcome departure of a brutal military regime in Argentina, the most dramatic change has come in the shape of the Falkland Islands community itself, which...

9.00am: It's a big day for Europe. Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy are meeting to thrash out details of a plan that could set up a fiscal union in Europe and may (or may not) lead to some sort of resolution of the debt crisis. But this blog - like the UK - is sitting on the sidelines. My colleague Alex Hawkes will be covering the Merkozy meeting on the business live blog. And I'll be covering events at Westminster, where the most lively before 4pm will be Leveson - The Sequel, a star-studded committee hearing featuring Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan and Max Mosley who may well spend an hour telling MPs and peers exactly what they told Leveson.
Here's the diary for the day.

Rich folks need to donate more dough to the arts. At least that’s how one British politician sees it. From the Guardian: Jeremy Hunt, the culture secretary, will pledge to end a "startling" divide which sees the rich donating less as a proportion of their income to charities than the less well off. He will outline a government review that is likely to examine tax incentives to create a legacy version of the medieval tithe in which parishioners gave 10% of their income to the church. Hunt joins forces with his ministerial colleagues Francis Maude and David Willetts to pledge that the government will help Britain to catch up with the Us, where the arts are funded through billions of dollars in philanthropic donations. In a Guardian article, the three ministers write that charitable donations increased last year. "But we believe we could do so much more. At the moment,...
