hello sunshine let's get our energy up
up up it's Thursday November 16th happy
Friday Eve I'm KY wire we are CNN 10 and
we start with a gathering of world
leaders this week in San Francisco the
United States is hosting representatives
from the Apec or the asia-pacific
economic cooperation and that's just
what it is Apec formed in 1989 is now
made up of 21 countries that all touched
the Pacific Ocean from Thailand to
Australia to Chile these countries work
together to create agreements that help
strengthen the members economies by
improving relations and promoting trade
now one way they can do that is by
limiting tariffs a tariff is a tax added
to Goods coming in from other countries
the thinking is that when Imports are
more expensive people will be more
inclined to buy Goods that are already
made at home but countries love and need
to export to bring more money into their
economy so limiting tariffs between each
other that can be friendly and
profitable tariffs the climate and the
war in the Middle East are just a few of
the many topics up for discussion at
this year's Apec Summit there's also a
much anticipated meeting between US
President Joe Biden and China's
president Xi Jinping here's Mark Stewart
with more this highly participated
meeting between Chinese president xiin
ping and US President Joe Biden is a big
deal it was in February that a Chinese
balloon was shot down over American
airspace adding even more tension to an
already Frosty relationship but things
have since stabilized during this highly
anticipated meeting in California don't
expect the two sides to come to an
agreement on thorny issues such as
Taiwan or human rights but rather
officials say this is an opportunity to
set some barriers and limits to create
some calm between the two Nations right
now both nations are witnessing the war
in Ukraine as well as the war between
Israel and Hamas this meeting is a
chance to prevent the relations between
the US and China from deteriorating with
the goal of creating some stability
despite the differences this is also a
chance to build on economic relations as
both Nations have benefited from trade
this meeting comes as both president
shei and President Biden face domestic
challenges of their own Mark Stewart CNN
Beijing next up there is a milk shortage
in cafeterias all across the country but
it's not because there's not enough milk
to go around the US Department of
Agriculture or USDA says multiple states
are affected by supply chain issues
related to packaging it's a dairy
precarious situation for Distributors
who sell cartons of milk to places like
schools nursing homes and Correctional
Facilities they're running out of the
cartons that hold the milk typically
public schools are required to offer
fat-free 1% or flavored milk at
breakfast and lunch but the USDA is
relaxing these requirements for now some
schools are transitioning to
Alternatives like juice shelf stable
milk and bottled water some have even
considered pouring individual cups from
big jugs of milk themselves there's no
certain time frame for when this
shortage might end 10c trivia
Muto is the capital city of what African
nation mamb Beek Morocco Mali or
Madagascar maputo is a port city the
largest city and capital city of mosan
Beque that's the correct answer
here all right let's dive on in now to
the aquamarine Waters around mosan Beque
considered some of the richest in the
world full of fauna and marine life it's
a hot spot for people who love to dive
and for researchers looking to work with
Coastal sea life the diving industry
there could be a big part of the local
economy by employing mosan beans and by
helping to promote sustainability could
be but it's not at least not yet check
this
out Moz beak has one of the longest
coastlines in
Africa with an abundance in marine
life
in some areas of the world you can go
and dive with whales or you can go and
dive with whale sharks or you can go and
dive with Manas here we have it
off making it a prime spot for
divers boosting local jobs and ocean
conservation one of the things that the
diving Community can do is shine a light
on on some of these areas especially
here in Africa that have been so
undervalued for so long long this is
mosm Beek's diving
scene I was just so enthralled by what I
saw here I I just I mean you could walk
over the backs of mantis and whale
sharks they littered the surface of the
water and just so many megaphon of
whales and dolphins and Marlin jumping
out and I just thought what is this
place world-renowned conservation
biologist Andrea Marshall has been
working in mosque for the past 20
years I always talking to people about
you know these diving destinations that
revolve around a single
species people will fly across the world
to go to a location where you can dive
with humpbacks or people will fly across
the world to go to a destination with
just whale
sharks nicknamed Queen of the mentors
for her pioneering research work on
mentor Ray Andrea is using her Fame to
highlight other endangered species and
ocean
habitats over the course of of my career
I started to see that there was a lot of
anthropogenic threats that were starting
to creep in um we started to see a lot
of influence from industrial fishing
moving in and even the artisanal
fishermen that that are kind of
subsistance fishing along the coast
started using more aggressive gears like
long lines and Gil Nets here and I
started to see a decline in a lot of the
populations of the animals that we were
studying and so I realized that when I
finished my PhD if I was to move on that
none of this information would be
captured that this conservation probably
wouldn't take off here and so for us it
meant well if we're going to take this
journey it might be a 40 or 50 or 60e
Journey but I'm all in I mean that's
what I want to do is is protect this
ghostline Andrea believes that a
thriving dive into industry will help
make ocean conservation a bigger
priority for local communities
connecting people with nature is the
most powerful way to be able to
effectively switch that light on and
make them
care one of the things I'm really
excited about is the Synergy that's
forming um here in the in the in the
coastal communities between Dive Center
operators and government scientists
other stakeholders basically everybody
wants the same
thing and as the diving scene develops
further Andrea is Keen for
sustainability to be a
priority tourism actually is one of the
biggest threats um to the environment
that you can get and it's been shown
through a lot of different scientific
studies we also have to be careful with
how we develop tourism the dive centers
here in mosm Beek because they're
working with researchers have become
really aware of you know what the limits
are and and and how
they probably don't want to develop this
area too quickly um because it's very
difficult to wind things back when they
get out of control it's much better to
develop things slowly and sustainably we
have to show caution and we just have to
um put the animals and and the
environments

first for today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 we're drawing attention to the
world's largest pencil collection Aaron
Bethal of Iowa got into his hobby of
pencil collecting as a first grader
collecting everywhere from local
businesses to flea markets he even has a
pencil that's 100 years old now Aaron
didn't know how many of them he had
until he learned the Guinness World
Record was 24,000 but I hope the old
record wasn't written in pencil because
when Aaron put in the work of counting
all of his
69,3 55 pencils he became the new
Guinness World Record holder and even
though his collection has already
Rewritten the record books he's already
in the hunt for more right on Aaron well
done I'm more of a pen guy pencils are
kind of sketchy I have some puns about
broken pencils I could tell but they're
pointless that technically wasn't our
top 10 out of 10 it was a number two our
best story of the day is going to you
especially the superstars at woodl
Leadership Academy in shreport Louisiana
nights you keep on shining bright and
white fish High School the Bulldogs and
White Fish Montana
much love many blessings I've got a date
with you penciled in for tomorrow Friday
I'm KY wire and we are seeing and
