SYDNEY: Australia will not change proposed laws that would make Alphabet Inc's Google and Facebook pay news outlets for content, a senior lawmaker said, despite vocal opposition from the Big Tech firms. Facebook has strongly protested the laws and last week abruptly blocked all news content and several state government and emergency department accounts. The social media giant and Australian leaders continued discussing the changes over the weekend. But with the bill scheduled for a debate in the Senate on Monday, Australia's most senior lawmaker in the upper house said there would be no further amendments. "The bill as it stands ... meets the right balance," Simon Birmingham , Australia's Minister for Finance, told Australian Broadcasting Corp Radio.

By Jon CohenFeb. 7, 2021 , 8:55 PM Science's COVID-19 reporting is supported by the Heising-Simons Foundation. Another COVID-19 vaccine has run into trouble in South Africa, showing less protection there than elsewhere because a SARS-CoV-2 variant that can apparently dodge key antibodies has become widespread. In the wake of the new finding, the country, which had pinned its pandemic hopes on this particular vaccine, halted an immunization campaign launched only last week. The stakes are high for the vaccine globally because its makers, AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, hope it will be widely used in developing countries; they project they can produce 3 billion doses this year for around $3 each, far more product at a far less lower price than any other vaccine shown to offer protection against COVID-19.

UFC 258 is just round the corner and, while it hardly carries the same level of attention and hype of a Conor McGregor fight, we could have a banger of a card on our hands. The main event features reigning welterweight champ Kamaru Usman facing off against Gilbert Burns, an unlikely title contender in some ways, but also a huge stylistic threat to Usman. Burns has torn through the welterweight division during the past couple of years and is absolutely deserving of this spot.
