Talks at 10 Downing Street Monday are being billed as another show of support from Ukraine's European allies. Zelensky, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will continue working on amendments to a peace plan drafted by the US And Russia. The initial draft drew criticism for offering Ukraine too few security guarantees and giving Russia wide authority over Ukraine's military and political future. Ukraine submitted revisions last month, but negotiations are ongoing. The meeting comes as Russia continues drone and missile attacks, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Ukraine over the weekend. For NPR News, I'm Rebecca Rossman in London.

In 2003, the Prison Rape Elimination act, also called PREA, was passed to address sexual violence in prisons. As part of prea, auditors visit detention centers to ensure they follow federal standards. But this new DOJ memo tells auditors to disregard certain requirements, including checking whether reports of sexual assaults were motivated by gender identity bias. Linda McFarlane, a longtime PREA advocate, says.

The Supreme Court hears arguments tomorrow over whether President Trump has the power to oust leaders of independent agencies in spite of the fact that federal laws shield those regulators from politics. Trump fired FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter in March. She was told her service was inconsistent with the administration's priorities. She sued, calling her firing illegal, and a lower court agreed with her. But the Trump administration says that ruling was flawed. The law says the president can only remove commissioners for inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.

The online music streamer Spotify has released its annual review of each user's ear in music. It's called Spotify Wrapped. This year, there is a controversial new feature, though NPR's Rachel Treisman says it's called a user's listening age.
- [04:11]

A user's listening age is based off their preferred era of music, according to the songs they listen to all year. Spotify says its calculations rely on the quote reminiscence bump, the idea that adults feel most connected to music from their teenage years. For example, someone fond of 1970s music might get a listening age in their 60s as if they had been a teen at that time. That might explain why electro pop star Charli Xcx, who popularized Brat, has a listening age of 75. Rachel Treisman, NPR News.
