| 0:00.0 | Today is Tuesday, October 21st. We're talking about America's push for peace in both Gaza and Ukraine, |
| 0:06.2 | how tragedy may have been avoided at a major American airport, and why part of the White House is being demolished. |
| 0:12.8 | Plus, what caused a massive global internet outage. The reason a new study says fewer children have peanut allergies now, |

| 0:22.0 | this time of year. Those stories and even more news to know coming up. Welcome, welcome to The |
| 0:29.3 | Newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. |
| 0:35.9 | Thanks so much for being here. You ready? Let's do this. |
| 0:42.3 | The White House is acting as mediator in both Ukraine and Gaza, but the road to peace is not always a |

| 1:25.4 | Meanwhile, two of President Trump's top negotiators are in Israel |
| 1:28.3 | in hopes of keeping the peace process for Gaza on track. Vice President J.D. Vance is due to visit |
| 1:33.5 | today. Roughly 200 American troops are also in Israel setting up a coordination center to monitor |
| 1:39.0 | the ceasefire and help humanitarian aid flow into Gaza. International partners are expected to join soon. |
| 1:45.2 | And this all comes after a few flare-ups in violence. |
