60 Minutes has just returned from a trip to Afghanistan, its capital, and remote provinces.

There are obvious examples of the new Taliban control everywhere and signs of a country in crisis. But we were surprised to hear from aid workers that they're in regular negotiation with the Taliban

as they try to help the most vulnerable Afghans.

When you say you have to reach out to the Taliban and talk to them, how does that work as a woman?

NASA is preparing, at a cost of $10 billion, to look back in time with the revolutionary

web telescope.

What might it see?

How about nearly all the way back to the Big Bang?

Everything we know about, everything we can see, me and you, everything on the planet,

all the hundreds of billions of other galaxies, all of that only makes up about 5% of the universe.

The rest of it, that other 95%, we have no idea what it is.

The saying here goes, you'll know the Newfoundlanders in heaven. They'll be the ones who want to go home.

And the adage comes to life on Fogo Island,

a 90-square-mile patchwork of 10 miniscule fishing villages

where clapboard houses the color of jelly beans cling to rock 400 million years old. Among its quirks, Newfoundland has its own

time zone, half an hour ahead of the mainland, but wander through Fogo Islands villages,

and you might as well set your watch back to the 18th century. I'm Leslie Stahl. I'm Bill Whitaker. I'm Anderson Cooper. I'm Sharon Alphonsey. I'm John Stahl. I'm Bill Whitaker.

I'm Anderson Cooper.

I'm Sharon Alphonsey.

I'm John Worthy.

I'm Scott Pelly.

Those stories and more tonight on 60 Minutes.
