CARL AZUZ: Hello, everyone, Coy here.
Hoping you had an awesome weekend.
We're here for you all week, breaking down the news you need
to know right here on "CNN 10."
Let's start with a quick look at some
of the significant headlines from around the world.
A powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake
rocked Taiwan on Sunday.
Shocks from the quake were felt all across the country.
400 tourists were trapped after a landslide.
The earthquake has also prompted tsunami warnings
for Japan's southern coastline.
Dozens of earthquakes have rattled
this area in recent days, but this was the largest.
Next up, when we produce this show, the island of Puerto Rico
was bracing for tropical storm Fiona,
after it had charged through the Virgin Islands on Saturday.
Fiona had the potential of strengthening into a hurricane
before hitting the US territory later on Sunday.
Forecasters say that potential flooding and mudslides
could be life threatening.
More than 170,000 people were already
without power in Puerto Rico.
And finally, the royal family saying goodbye to its matriarch
after a period of mourning.
A funeral is planned today for Queen Elizabeth II,
honoring her 70 years of service.
Hundreds of foreign leaders are in town to pay their respects.
The day has been declared a public holiday in England.
The Queen's funeral will end with a two-minute
nationwide moment of silence.
CNN royal correspondent, Max Foster,
was in London during the royal proceedings
as Englanders were mourning their queen.
MAX FOSTER: A steady tide of mourners
pouring into the ancient Westminster Hall.
It looks and feels like a pilgrimage.
After hours waiting in line, a personal moment of thanks
to the queen.
King Charles III, with his son, Prince William,
met them outside to the delight of those waiting.
PRINCE WILLIAM: It means an awful lot you are here.
MAX FOSTER: They queued for hours
and came from across the United Kingdom and the world.
Security was tight.
There was a phones down rule as well.
A royal source told CNN, it was so people can enjoy
the moment with their new king.
- Shake hands.
Enjoy it, and make the most of it.
MAX FOSTER: The Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward,
also approached the crowds, alongside his wife,
the Countess of Wessex.
- 70 years on the throne.
She's such a loved lady that it's
just the right thing to do.
I think that's what a lot of people in the line are feeling.
Lots of different nations, colors, and everything here.
It's just lovely.
- It's it good morale.
It's a good day.
Everyone's feeling really positive.
It's a lovely atmosphere.
MAX FOSTER: The King also made time
to thank emergency responders ahead
of the state funeral, which, police say,
will be their largest ever operation.
And then a somber vigil for the queen from her grandchildren
that she helped bring up.
Prince William and Harry, both in ceremonial uniform.
Harry, under special dispensation by the King,
adorned with medals, presented by the queen
to mark her many jubilees and also his military service.
A show of unity for the nation in mourning.
COY WIRE: 10-second trivia time.
Which of these happened September 17, 1787?
The Boston Tea Party, the US gaining independence,
the US Constitution signed, or the US Constitution ratified?
The US Constitution was signed this day,
now known as Constitution Day.
And Saturday marked that holiday in the US,
so all week, we, the people of CNN "10," in order
to form a more perfect understanding,
are going to make your 10-second trivia Constitution-based.
All right, next up, every year, the United States
wastes over hundred billion pounds of food.
Aidan Riley was just a junior in college
when he founded FarmLink, a company
that rescues food surplus and donates it to food banks.
Let's meet Aidan and hear what inspired him to start
this journey with friends.
AIDAN RILEY: The fact is, every year, we waste over hundred
billion pounds of food in the United States,
and 20 pounds billion of that is at the farm level.
And that's such a massive number.
It's hard to even comprehend.
Farmers end up having to dump perfectly good produce.
But at the same time, people are hungry.
- The next person in line, come on down.
AIDAN RILEY: 40 million Americans
don't know where their next meal is going to come from.
So my name is Aidan Riley.
I'm co-founder at the FarmLink Project.
We are a nonprofit that works with farms to rescue surplus
produce that they are going to, otherwise,
throw out and get it to food banks instead.
When the pandemic happened, that was a junior in college,
like everybody else, I was watching the news
and just seeing the next piece of terrible news come in.
I remember seeing just giant trash
bins outside of the dorm rooms.
It looked almost apocalyptic.
It's like an evacuation.
It's basically what it was.
I spent those first few weeks, honestly,
in a state of depression.
Not to use that word lightly, but I was really, really low.
All the plans I'd been making, the progress
were suddenly no longer viable.
I think it's the other alley.
Yeah, that's the back alley.
James Chernoff and I, we've been best friends since we
were about 11 years old.
James is, like, this is one of the most
significant things that might ever happen in our lives.
How do you want to look back on it?
And I told him, shut up, man.
I just want to watch TV and, like, sit.
I just want to play video games.
But it got us thinking.
We ended up seeing an article in the "New York Times"
about farmers having to throw out their food,
like mountains of potatoes in someone's backyard or milk
just being dumped into the dirt.
At the same time, food banks and the systems
that were in place to feed people
were suddenly getting overwhelmed.
- Two families in here.
AIDAN RILEY: We would see lines of people, miles and miles
long, thousands of cars lining up to get
a bag or a box of groceries.
We went and talked to someone from Westside Food Bank.
And they said, yeah, we are running out of food.
We called up my friend Will and Ben Collier.
We just said, why don't we join forces?
We are over here in Los Angeles.
And then, Ben and will were over in Connecticut, calling
food banks, calling farms.
We called a couple hundred.
Eventually, we got on the phone with someone who said,
I have 13,000 eggs, and you guys can have them.
I just don't have a way of getting them to you.
OK.
And we realized that, really, the core issue at hand
was, one, of time and transportation.
We rented a U-Haul, drove out to where the eggs were being
stored, loaded them in the back, And so that
was the very first drive.
It was me swerving around on the 405 Freeway,
getting honked at, with eggs bouncing around in the back,
just trying to get them to the food bank
so that we could feed a couple thousand people.
We're going to Westside Food Bank and then foodb bank again.
When we were able to get that first truck,
we said, let's do a second, and then let's do a third.
And we're back, baby.
We have moved about 70 million pounds, which
is around 60 million meals.
We have worked with over a hundred
farms in the United States and over 300 communities.
We send boxes to communities around the United States
at a rate of 1 and 1/2 million pounds per week.
COY WIRE: All right, some friendships
you just never see coming.
For 10 out of 10 today, we're heading to a zoo in Chicago,
where an unusual friendship may be forming between two
unlikely creatures, whether they become buds,
pals, kindred spirits, or friends for life,
that remains to be seen.
Jeanne Moos has more.
JEANY MOOS: Meet otter and ape.
The otters were being introduced to their new habitat
at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, a habitat that's home
to small apes called gibbons.
The gibbons live above in the treetops.
The otters live below in the water.
How does an otter break the ice with its neighbors?
This 10-month-old pup went right up
to new beau, an eight-year-old male gibbon,
began sniffing his underarm area,
seemed especially intrigued by new beau's feet.
The curator of primates says, this intermingling of species
probably wouldn't happen in the wild,
where other species represent a threat.
Otters are known as curious, intelligent, and gregarious
animals.
Otters are tactile creatures.
Video of them holding hands at the Vancouver Aquarium
became a hit on the internet.
A couple of aquariums even put holes in their plexiglass
so that otters and humans can do some interspecies hand-holding
of their own.
Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.
COY WIRE: Otterly adorable seeing them
giving some loving like that.
Shout out to all of you going out of your way
to make someone smile today.
And special shout out to Evergreen Middle
School in Hillsboro, Oregon.
We hope you and everyone watching around the world
have a wonderful one.
I'm Coy.
Thanks for watching "CNN 10."
