1. EU and UK to 'reset' relations after NI vaccine row

The UK and European Union will "reset" relations after Brussels triggered a provision in the Brexit deal to control vaccine exports, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove has said. Ministers said they are confident that the EU will not block vaccines entering the UK.
