WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.270 [Music] 00:07.270 --> 00:10.440 [Applause] 00:11.280 --> 00:13.200 What's up, sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. This 00:13.200 --> 00:15.120 is CNN 10, your 10 minutes of news, 00:15.120 --> 00:16.320 where I simply tell you the what, 00:16.320 --> 00:18.240 letting you decide what to think. We 00:18.240 --> 00:19.600 have your news for this Tuesday, 00:19.600 --> 00:22.000 November 18th. And that gives us a great 00:22.000 --> 00:23.439 reason to tell you about something that 00:23.439 --> 00:26.560 happened on this day in history, 1928. 00:26.560 --> 00:28.480 Walt Disney released a short cartoon 00:28.480 --> 00:30.160 that would end up laying the foundation 00:30.160 --> 00:32.399 for the children's entertainment as we 00:32.399 --> 00:34.559 know it. Steamboat Willie, the first 00:34.559 --> 00:37.360 animated film with synchronized sound. 00:37.360 --> 00:41.760 It featured the legendary Mickey Mouse. 00:41.760 --> 00:43.440 Now, some other Mickey cartoons were 00:43.440 --> 00:45.440 created earlier, but this was the first 00:45.440 --> 00:47.600 one distributed with fully coordinated 00:47.600 --> 00:50.079 sound and music, which was a huge 00:50.079 --> 00:52.480 technological leap at the time. Disney 00:52.480 --> 00:54.719 combined animation, sound effects, and 00:54.719 --> 00:57.440 music using a click track, which set a 00:57.440 --> 00:59.920 new industry standard for sound films. 00:59.920 --> 01:02.160 The huge success of the cartoon helped 01:02.160 --> 01:04.320 make Mickey Mouse an iconic character, 01:04.320 --> 01:06.320 and that led to the Disney company's 01:06.320 --> 01:08.880 future dominance in the animated market. 01:08.880 --> 01:11.360 Turning now to the COP 30 climate summit 01:11.360 --> 01:13.119 underway in Brazil, where dignitaries 01:13.119 --> 01:15.040 from around the world meet to try to 01:15.040 --> 01:17.040 make the planet a cleaner place. More 01:17.040 --> 01:19.920 than 190 nations sent delegations to the 01:19.920 --> 01:21.759 pivotal conference in an effort to help 01:21.759 --> 01:25.200 curb pollution and slow global warming. 01:25.200 --> 01:27.200 And China, the world's largest emitter 01:27.200 --> 01:29.280 of greenhouse gases, appears to be 01:29.280 --> 01:31.840 positioning itself as a power player in 01:31.840 --> 01:34.079 the fight against climate change. Our 01:34.079 --> 01:36.000 Simone McCarthy has a closer look at how 01:36.000 --> 01:38.240 the nation is looking to now lead the 01:38.240 --> 01:40.000 global green transition. 01:40.000 --> 01:42.640 >> Can China lead the charge on the green 01:42.640 --> 01:44.720 transition? Yes, you heard that right. 01:44.720 --> 01:46.720 The world's biggest poller has sent the 01:46.720 --> 01:48.880 second largest delegation to COP 30 01:48.880 --> 01:51.040 after Brazil, the host country. And 01:51.040 --> 01:52.880 that's as China is ramping up its role 01:52.880 --> 01:54.960 as a leader in the global fight against 01:54.960 --> 01:57.040 climate change. In September, China 01:57.040 --> 01:59.360 pledged to reduce its emissions by up to 01:59.360 --> 02:02.320 10% from their peak by 2035. And that 02:02.320 --> 02:04.159 progress is already happening. An 02:04.159 --> 02:06.000 analysis by the Center for Research on 02:06.000 --> 02:08.319 Energy and Clean Air said that China's 02:08.319 --> 02:10.239 emissions over the past 18 months have 02:10.239 --> 02:12.480 either fallen or been flat. That's a big 02:12.480 --> 02:14.640 deal for a country that continues to 02:14.640 --> 02:17.520 build coal burning power plants, but it 02:17.520 --> 02:19.440 also speaks to China's ambition to 02:19.440 --> 02:21.680 become a clean energy superpower. Here 02:21.680 --> 02:23.520 in China, more than half of the cars 02:23.520 --> 02:25.280 sold last month were either EVs or 02:25.280 --> 02:26.879 hybrids. And the country has 02:26.879 --> 02:29.120 significantly expanded its solar and 02:29.120 --> 02:31.599 wind energy, now operating at some five 02:31.599 --> 02:33.440 times that of the United States. And 02:33.440 --> 02:35.440 it's not just what's happening within 02:35.440 --> 02:37.760 China that matters. Chinese factories 02:37.760 --> 02:39.680 are pumping out these technologies 02:39.680 --> 02:42.160 cheaply, allowing lower and middle inome 02:42.160 --> 02:44.480 countries to develop while also reducing 02:44.480 --> 02:47.360 their reliance on fossil fuels. So even 02:47.360 --> 02:49.599 as analysts say that China has a lot of 02:49.599 --> 02:51.840 work to do to reduce its own substantial 02:51.840 --> 02:54.080 emissions, it's already playing a key 02:54.080 --> 02:56.400 role driving forward green transitions 02:56.400 --> 02:58.640 in countries around the world. Turning 02:58.640 --> 03:00.720 now to the African nation of Libya, 03:00.720 --> 03:02.879 where a unique skydiving center is 03:02.879 --> 03:05.360 helping reinvent tourism in the war torn 03:05.360 --> 03:07.360 city of Benghazi. Officials are trying 03:07.360 --> 03:09.519 to boost international tourism in the 03:09.519 --> 03:11.519 country's second largest city, which has 03:11.519 --> 03:13.519 endured years of brutal fighting, 03:13.519 --> 03:16.000 unrest, and regime changes. And they're 03:16.000 --> 03:18.239 starting with thrillsekers who can get a 03:18.239 --> 03:19.840 bird's eyee view of the city as they 03:19.840 --> 03:22.720 jump out of a military helicopter. Our 03:22.720 --> 03:25.040 Isabelle Young took to the skies for a 03:25.040 --> 03:28.360 closer look. 03:28.510 --> 03:31.560 [Music] 03:35.599 --> 03:38.560 We are flying over Benghazi, Libya right 03:38.560 --> 03:41.680 now, which just a few years ago was the 03:41.680 --> 03:44.080 scene of some very heavy fighting. But 03:44.080 --> 03:46.080 right now, we're up in the skies with a 03:46.080 --> 03:47.840 bunch of sky divers who've come in from 03:47.840 --> 03:50.480 all over the world. Pretty insane people 03:50.480 --> 03:53.120 who jump out of a military helicopter 03:53.120 --> 03:56.519 just for fun. 04:05.920 --> 04:09.040 Here in Libya, things have changed. In 04:09.040 --> 04:11.680 2012, militants allied with al-Qaeda 04:11.680 --> 04:14.560 killed the US ambassador Chris Stevens, 04:14.560 --> 04:16.560 sparking a partisan firestorm in 04:16.560 --> 04:18.079 Washington. 04:18.079 --> 04:20.239 The politics may have moved on, but the 04:20.239 --> 04:23.040 scars of war are everywhere. Libyans are 04:23.040 --> 04:25.840 keen for a rebrand. People from 37 04:25.840 --> 04:27.759 countries have come to inaugurate the 04:27.759 --> 04:30.240 skydiving center. How you feeling? 04:30.240 --> 04:32.320 >> I'm feeling great. I'm really excited. 04:32.320 --> 04:33.919 It's going to be incredible, I think. 04:33.919 --> 04:34.240 Yeah. 04:34.240 --> 04:35.759 >> Were you nervous about coming to Libya 04:35.759 --> 04:36.240 at all? 04:36.240 --> 04:37.360 >> Uh, a little bit. Yeah. 04:37.360 --> 04:38.400 >> What do you think of when you think of 04:38.400 --> 04:39.520 Libya? 04:39.520 --> 04:42.080 >> All that I hear as an American is like 04:42.080 --> 04:45.199 Benghazi and Hillary's emails. As I 04:45.199 --> 04:47.440 started to kind of research the country, 04:47.440 --> 04:50.160 um, you know, it has an amazing history. 04:50.160 --> 04:51.680 It was too good of an opportunity to 04:51.680 --> 04:53.520 pass up to explore a new place. I mean, 04:53.520 --> 04:55.360 you're clearly an adrenaline junkie. 04:55.360 --> 04:55.840 >> Sure. 04:55.840 --> 04:58.240 >> Is part of the appeal coming to a place 04:58.240 --> 05:00.400 that has been through a lot that, you 05:00.400 --> 05:01.919 know, has seen a lot of adrenaline 05:01.919 --> 05:02.880 itself? 05:02.880 --> 05:05.199 >> Um, I didn't think about it that way. 05:05.199 --> 05:07.919 But it was more of a unique experience 05:07.919 --> 05:10.080 for me that I was excited about. 05:10.080 --> 05:12.160 >> From fighting off ISIS to facilitating 05:12.160 --> 05:14.160 adrenaline junkies, the Libyan National 05:14.160 --> 05:16.320 Army are helping run things here, 05:16.320 --> 05:18.479 looking to Dubai for inspiration and 05:18.479 --> 05:21.479 expertise. 05:24.880 --> 05:26.320 I mean, it's just a few years ago that 05:26.320 --> 05:30.360 there was war here. Were you fighting? 05:32.340 --> 05:33.600 [Music] 05:33.600 --> 05:37.720 >> Is this what you were fighting for? 05:47.120 --> 05:49.520 Do you have a message for Americans or 05:49.520 --> 05:51.120 people outside of here who might be 05:51.120 --> 05:55.400 considering a trip to Libya? 05:55.740 --> 06:00.890 [Music] 06:02.080 --> 06:04.000 These YouTube content creators boast the 06:04.000 --> 06:06.240 most subscribers in the world.
