That's the radical idea behind Light, a company founded on the belief that our constant fight for attention has turned smartphones into an addiction. At WSJ Tech Live, senior personal tech columnist Joanna Stern sat down with Light CEO Kaiwei Tang, along with vocal product fan, actor and producer Aaron Paul. Plus, as you prepare for holiday travel, we'll look at the flight tracking app that notifies fliers about delays and cancellations well before the airlines do. Our Science of Success columnist Ben Cohen tells us how Flighty works. Julie Chang hosts.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Could We Get Peace In Ukraine?

The Trump administration has announced a 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine that involves ceding territory, giving up on joining NATO and reducing its military—in essence an extremely, even suspiciously, friendly deal for Russia and Russian demands.

How does Ukraine play this without losing a powerful ally or the war?

Guest: Fred Kaplan, Slate’s War Stories correspondent.

NPR's Book of the Day - Comic journalist Joe Sacco on his portrait of deadly riots in Uttar Pradesh, India

In 2013, two young Hindu cousins killed a Muslim man in a rural part of Uttar Pradesh, India. What followed was a series of alternating violence in the region between Hindus and Muslims. Renowned comic journalist Joe Sacco's new book, The Once And Future Riot, investigates that conflict and the stories people tell themselves about what happened. In today’s episode, Sacco speaks with NPR’s Andrew Limbong about illustrating violence and the “she-said, he-said” nature of this story.

Global News Podcast - Criminal cases against Trump critics dropped

A federal US judge has dismissed the criminal cases against the former FBI director James Comey and the New York Attorney General Letitia James, who've both led high-profile investigations into Donald Trump. The judge found that the prosecutor overseeing both cases, Lindsey Halligan, had been hired unlawfully. The White House has said the Justice Department will appeal against the ruling. President Trump has denied accusations that he uses the criminal justice sytem to target his enemies.

Also: Mexican police arrest a man accused of recruiting people involved in the murder of a popular mayor, Carlos Manzo. We look back at the life of the singer Jimmy Cliff who helped popularise reggae around the world. Meanwhile, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads tributes to the Bollywood actor Dharmendra who has died at the age of 89. A new location feature on the social media platform X raises questions about the origins of politically provocative content. And a woman in Thailand has been found alive in her coffin moments before she was due to be cremated.
