The European Union will meet AstraZeneca executives on Monday to seek further clarification on why they unexpectedly announced a large cut in supplies of COVID-19 vaccine to the bloc for the first quarter of the year, EU officials said. AstraZeneca, which developed its shot with Oxford University, told the EU on Friday that it could not meet the agreed supply targets running up to the end of March, with an EU official telling Reuters that meant a 60% cut to 31 million doses. The Anglo-Swedish drugmaker has received an up-front payment of 336 million euros ($409 million) from the EU, a second EU official told Reuters when the 27-nation bloc sealed a supply deal with AstraZeneca in August for at least 300 million doses - the first signed by the EU to secure COVID-19 shots..

Turkey and Greece resumed talks aimed at addressing long-standing maritime disputes on Monday, diplomatic sources said, after months of tension in the eastern Mediterranean. The neighbouring countries, which are both members of the NATO military alliance, made little progress in 60 rounds of talks from 2002 to 2016. Plans for resuming discussions foundered last year over Turkey's deployment of a survey vessel in contested Mediterranean waters and disagreements over which topics to cover.

Scott Wedgewood stopped all 28 shots he faced in his first NHL shutout in more than three years Sunday night, and the New Jersey Devils scored twice late in the first period of a 2-0 win over the visiting New York Islanders in Newark, N.J.

U.S. officials in President Joe Biden's administration tried to win over Republicans on the president's nearly $2 trillion dollar pandemic relief plan on Sunday. Sixteen senators and two House members were on the line as top Biden aides attempted to tackle Republican concerns that the plan is too expensive. Lawmakers from both sides said they backed the deal to get the COVID-19 vaccine to Americans as a top priority, but some Republicans sought answers about how much had been spent of the $900 billion passed in Congress last month. Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine said she agreed that more funding was needed to distribute vaccines, but in a more "limited" bill, disagreeing with the size and scope of the plan. Collins added her concern in an email that the proposed handout of $1,400 stimulus checks is not well targeted, and could go to families with fairly high incomes. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that lawmakers simply "can't wait" and remain in gridlock. The White House says they need the additional bundle to cover the costs of unemployment benefits, handouts to households and more. Since Biden took office last Wednesday he has moved quickly to sign a number of executive orders on economic relief. The Trump administration lagged far behind its target of vaccinating 20 million Americans by 2020 and on Sunday, Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain said his predecessors left no distribution plan for how to get vaccines to millions of Americans.
