Today is Tuesday, October 12, what to know about new talks between the U.S. and other nations,

from an in-person meeting with Taliban leaders to a possible global deal impacting the tax rate.

Also, remember the college admissions bribery scandal? We'll tell you what the jury decided

for the first two people to stand trial. Plus, what happened with Southwest Airlines and the

thousands of flights canceled over the weekend? How the next Superman character will make history?

And iconic women will be featured on the U.S. quarter. We'll tell you who and when.

Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy, all the days news in around 10 minutes. Fast,

fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Air Commandy. Thanks so much for being here. You're ready? Let's do this.

Senior U.S. and Taliban officials sat down face to face for the first time since American

troops left Afghanistan, and they covered quite a bit during the weekend talks. The U.S. State

Department says they address security and terrorism concerns. That's a big one. It was last

month when the CIA warned Al Qaeda might be moving back to Afghanistan, hoping to rebuild to what

it was before striking the U.S. on 9-11. This weekend, the U.S. and Taliban leaders also talked about

human rights, including whether women and girls can participate in all parts of Afghan society.

And that's been pretty uncertain lately, since the Taliban have promised greater freedoms,

but in reality, women are only allowed to work certain jobs, and at least for now,

not all girls are allowed to go to school. Another key issue that was brought up,

the U.S. giving humanitarian aid directly to the Afghan people. The United Nations says

millions of people in Afghanistan lack food, shelter, and other essential supplies.

It's not clear if the two sides reached any agreements over the weekend, but the U.S.

called the talks, quote, candid and professional. Still, American officials say they'll keep judging

the Taliban on their actions, not just their words.
