hello everyone I'm COI wire this is CNN
10 and it's Friday fry yay a big part of
the yay I have some news outside of the
news to get to you today we have closed
submissions for our first ever teacher
of the year award and you all brought it
and when I say brought it I mean we got
about a gajillion submissions and they
are awesome the wellth thought out
letters you wrote about why your teacher
deserves the award now we're going to
have off next week for Thanksgiving
break and we're going to further Whittle
down that list that we're working on and
soon I'll be coming to visit some of you
to help celebrate your awesomeness all
right we've got a banger of a show today
so let's get your quick hit in 10
minutes of news we start with news about
the retail industry heading into the
holiday shopping season with one major
retailer saying that this year they are
not selling quite as well as they'd
expected Target announced they now
expect their sales between October and
December to barely increase at all which
is really unusual for the holidays so
why does this matter what could it mean
well Target is often seen as a bell
weather meaning an indicator of how
people are feeling about spending and if
a major retailer like Target isn't doing
well then there is a chance smaller
businesses might not be doing so well
either so is this just a Target thing
are people still spending just choosing
to go elsewhere or are people choosing
to save up and not spend as much as
usual CNN's Vanessa juravich spoke with
one retail industry expert to get his
thoughts on what could be going on I
think Target's got an issue with the
consumer really just not spending as
much on discretionary Goods right now
there's some self-inflicted wounds here
on Target's part but Target can improve
and we do expect them to improve and I
think next year things should start to
look a little bit better for them so is
Target losing their customers to Brands
like Walmart TJ Maxx it does seem like
Target is losing some market share it
would appear that the customer is
spending more at Walmart right now
they're winning there and prices are
amazing at Walmart they're generally the
lowest every time we've done a pricing
study they're the best place to go to
shop Target is often considered a bell
weather for consumer spending so what
does it say about retail Target
historically has been a very strong
bellweather for the consumer especially
that middle to Upper income consumer and
with the flattest type sales that kind
of fits in with the narrative that we're
hearing now the consumer has been
resilient the consumer is focused on
newness and Innovation and when there's
some differentiation with the product
they're spending Target saw all of that
now you could argue that are some
consumers trading down a little bit to
Walmart or is Walmart just doing a
better job reaching up and capturing
customers that's part of it too what
does this say about holiday spending
overall I mean Target a lot of people go
in for one thing come out with five
different things is the expectation that
consumers are just not ramping up
spending during the holiday season we
think with the the way the election
turned out actually will give a little
more confidence to the consumer I think
it's less of a distraction I think there
was a lot of concern prior to the
election that we'd be worried about um
you know litigation and potential
violence on the streets we don't have
that the consumer can settle down and
really now focus on the holiday season
and focus on getting good
uh and gifts for their family and I
think that we will see a relatively
decent holiday season it seems like
there will be winners and losers wmart
will be among the winners we believe but
um we think spending will will happen
for this holiday
season 10 second trivia which endangered
species are the world's largest fish
humpback whales whale sharks great white
sharks or polka doted super
fish answer is whale sharks which grow
up to 60 ft long with mouths that can
stretch to nearly 5 ft but did you know
their throats are only about the size of
a quarter so they can only eat things
like tiny shrimp fish and Plankton whale
sharks are hunted for their fins meat
and oils the world's tallest animal May
soon be added to the endangered and
threatened species list draft
populations are in fast decline
according to the US fish and wildlife
service how did this happen well us
Wildlife officials say it could be
because of habitat loss urbanization
increasing droughts as well as poaching
Hunters killing them for their body
parts since 1985 the populations of
three subspecies of Northern giraffes
have decreased from almost 26,000 to
just under 6,000 today that's a 77%
decline in the last 39 years the US fish
and wildlife service has proposed
listing many draff species as endangered
or threatened which would help put
additional Protections in place for them
under the Endangered Species Act if the
proposal is approved it would be the
first time ever that giraffes would
receive those types of federal
protections glossy computer-generated
