Talks at 10 Downing Street Monday are being billed as another show of support from Ukraine's European allies.

Many travelers may prefer to forget about the airline's scheduling crisis three years ago, when Southwest canceled more 15,000 flights the week around Christmas due to a winter storm and issues with outdated software. The following year, the Biden administration fined southwest a record $140 million in a new order. The Department of Transportation announced it will waive the remaining $11 million still owed. It says it's due to the airline significantly improving its on time performance and investing in new technology since the meltdown. The department said the move will incentivize other airlines to make investments that benefit customers. Matt Bloom, NPR News.
