COY WIRE, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Hello sunshine. Let`s get our energy up, up, up. It`s Thursday, November 16th. Happy
Friday Eve. I`m Coy 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
Now, 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 U.S. President, Joe Biden, and China`s President, Xi Jinping. Here`s

MARC STEWART, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: This highly anticipated meeting between Chinese
President Xi Jinping and U.S. 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 frosting
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 authority
issues such as Taiwan or human rights. But rather officials say this is an opportunity to set some barriers and limit 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 U.S. and China, from deteriorating, with the goal of creating some stability. Despite the differences,
this is also a chance to

WIRE: 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
U.S. 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. As 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 timeframe for when this shortage might end.
Maputo is the capital city of what African nation? Mozambique, Morocco, Mali, or Madagascar?
Maputo is a port city, the largest city and capital city of Mozambique. That`s the correct answer here.
All right, let`s dive on in now to the aqua marine waters around Mozambique considered some of the richest in the world,
full of fauna and marine life.
It`s a hotspot 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 Mozambicans and by helping to promote sustainability, could be but it`s not, at least
not yet. Check this out.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mozambique has one of the longest coastlines in Africa, with an abundance in marine life.
ANDREA MARSHALL, CO-FOUNDER, MARINE MEGAFAUNA FOUNDATION: 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 mantas. Here we have it all.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Making it a prime spot for divers, boosting local jobs and ocean conservation.
MARSHALL: 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
MARSHALL: I was just so enthralled by what I saw here. I just -- I mean, you could walk over the backs of mantas and
whale sharks. They littered the
surface of the water and just so many megafauna whales and dolphins and marlin jumping out. And I just thought, what is
this place?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: World Renown Conservation Biologist, Andrea Marshall, has been working in Mozambique
for past 20 years.
MARSHALL: I was 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
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Nicknamed clean of the mantas for her pioneering research work on manta rays. Andrea is
using her fame to highlight other
endangered species and ocean habitats.
MARSHALL: Over the course of my career, I started to see that there was a lot of anti-anthropogenic threats that were
starting to creep in. we
started to see a lot of influence from industrial fishing moving in, and even the artesian fishermen that -- that are kind of
subsistence fishing
along the coast, started using more aggressive gears, like long lines and gill nets here. And I started to see a decline in a lot
of the populations
And so I realized that when I finished my Ph.D., 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 60-year
journey, but I`m all
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Andrea believes that a thriving dive industry will help make ocean conservation a bigger
priority for local communities.
MARSHALL: 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 here in the coastal communities between dive center operators
and government,
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And as the diving team develops further, Andrea is keen for sustainability to be a priority.
MARSHALL: Tourism actually is one of the biggest threats to the environment that you can get. And it`s been shown
through a lot of
We also have to be careful with how we develop tourism. The dive centers here in Mozambique, because they`re working
with researchers, have become
really aware of, you know, what the limits are and how they probably don`t want to develop this area too quickly. 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
put the animals and the environments first.

WIRE: For today`s story, getting a 10 out of 10, we`re drawing attention to the world`s largest pencil collection. Aaron
Bartholmey 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 69,255 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
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 today is going to you, especially the superstars at Woodlawn Leadership Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana, Knight,
you keep on shining
bright. And Whitefish High School, the Bulldogs in Whitefish, Montana. Much love, many blessings, I`ve got a date with
you. Pins within for tomorrow,
