Well, Good Morning!   Let's take a look at what the day has in store for us.   So, let's dig in, shall we? Here's What You Need To Know... Taliban say failure to recognize government could be a problem for "the world" Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told reporters Saturday that the Afghan people have a right to have their government recognized by the U.S. "Our message to America is, if unrecognition continues, Afghan problems continue, it is the problem of the region and could turn into a problem for the world," Mujahid said.   The U.S. officially withdrew from Afghanistan on Aug. 31, ending the nation's longest war. The Taliban unveiled its interim government in early September. No country, including the U.S., has since recognized the Taliban's government, though some nations have pursued varying levels of engagement with the insurgent group.   The international community has repeatedly raised concerns about whether the Taliban would rule the same way they did when they last held power, despite the Taliban claiming they would not. The U.S. agreed earlier this month to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan following negotiations in Qatar but reiterated that it would not recognize the Taliban as the Afghan government. White House Press secretary Jen Psaki has tested positive for the virus President Joe Biden's press secretary didn't accompany him on his trip to Europe because she was worried she might have the coronavirus. Jen Psaki said that other loved ones in her home had tested positive earlier last week, and she didn't want to risk spreading it abroad. She shared that she took several tests, which came back negative Wednesday through Saturday. Yesterday, however, she tested positive.   "While I have not had close contact in person with the President or senior members of the White House staff since Wednesday — and tested negative for four days after that last contact — I am disclosing today's positive test out of an abundance of transparency," she said in a post to Twitter. "I last saw the President on Tuesday, when we sat outside more than six-feet apart, and wore masks. Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms which has enabled me to continue working from home." She added that she will continue to stay home until the 10-day quarantine window closes. At that point, she said she will take another test and, pending its negative results, will return to the office. This announcement follows word that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas contracted the virus just a couple weeks ago. And early last week, the president was seen coughing into his hand after a speech before using it to greet people in the crowd. He did all of this without a mask.

This one has to do with human trafficking Two years ago, Apple threatened to pull Facebook and Instagram from its app store over concerns about the platform being used as a tool to trade and sell maids in the Mideast. After publicly promising to crack down, Facebook acknowledged in internal documents that it was "under-enforcing on confirmed abusive activity" that saw Filipina maids complaining on the social media site of being abused. Apple relented and Facebook and Instagram remained in the app store.   But Facebook's crackdown seems to have had a limited effect. Even today, a quick search for "khadima," or "maids" in Arabic, will bring up accounts featuring posed photographs of Africans and South Asians with ages and prices listed next to their images. That's even as the Philippines government has a team of workers that do nothing but scour Facebook posts each day to try and protect desperate job seekers from criminal gangs and unscrupulous recruiters using the site.   While the Mideast remains a crucial source of work for women in Asia and Africa hoping to provide for their families back home, Facebook acknowledged some countries across the region have "especially egregious" human rights issues when it comes to laborers' protection.   This story, along with others published Monday, is based on disclosures made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and provided to Congress in redacted form by former Facebook employee-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen's legal counsel. The redacted versions were obtained by a consortium of news organizations, including the AP. The Wall Street Journal previously wrote about Apple's threat to remove Facebook and Instagram.
