00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:13.270
What's up, sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. This

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:15.829
is CNN 10, and today, a massive reef

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.990
showing signs of life. We begin down

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.830
under with some encouraging news from

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:21.750
one of the natural wonders of the world,

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.990
Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.910
marine marvel is the world's largest

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.550
coral reef system, more than400 miles

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:31.029
long, roughly the size of Italy or

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.190
Japan. And after devastating coral

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.430
losses, scientists are seeing early

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:37.670
signs of recovery from recent bleaching

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:39.750
events that resulted in record levels of

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:41.830
coral loss. Researchers with the

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.910
Australian Institute of Marine Science

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.709
surveyed hard coral coverage, a key

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.430
indicator of health for the reefs across

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.470
more than 120 individual reefs over the

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:54.229
last year. They found coverage remained

00:00:54.239 --> 00:00:56.869
steady or even increased slightly across

00:00:56.879 --> 00:00:59.189
the reef's three main regions with some

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:01.590
areas actually growing at an above

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.070
average pace. That's happy news after

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:07.830
mass bleaching events in 2024 and 2025

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.149
that ravaged parts of the reef. So, what

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.070
helped? Apparently, mother nature turned

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:13.990
down the thermostat. A late season

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.390
typhoon brought extra clouds and rain,

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.950
helping cool ocean temperatures. And

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:20.710
scientists believe that is keeping heat

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:22.710
stress off the reef. And that matters

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:26.230
because it's unusual warm waters that's

00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:28.390
the main driver of mass coral bleaching.

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.469
Here's your knowledge bomb. Coral gets a

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:32.630
lot of its color and food from tiny

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.350
algae living inside it. When water gets

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:37.830
too hot, coral can get stressed, expel

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.149
the algae. That's bleaching, and that

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.149
can lead to the collapse of an entire

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.710
ecosystem. Researchers say these newest

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:46.870
findings show that reefs still have the

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:48.870
capacity to recover when given the

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:50.950
chance. But factors like continued

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:53.590
warming could threaten that recovery. So

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:55.510
problem not completely solved. It's more

00:01:55.520 --> 00:01:58.069
like the patient is responding and that

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.069
is worth watching. The Great Barrier

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.910
Reef isn't the only one feeling the

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.670
impact in recent years. In French

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.069
Polynesia, one team is taking action to

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.070
head off this threat with a series of

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.710
extensive coral nurseries. Arbajan

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:12.949
Hoseni got the chance to dive in

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:15.110
literally with Coral Gardeners, an

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.710
organization dedicated to reef

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:18.949
restoration as part of the Rolex

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:30.470
Perpetual Planet Initiative.

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:32.390
This is a morning commute I could get

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.589
used to.

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.509
Geared up in the crew uniform.

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:39.430
>> I mean, you

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:40.390
I feel ready.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.790
>> I'm catching a ride on the unmistakable

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.350
black boats of Coral Garders, a fixture

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.150
on the lagoon surrounding Mora. It's mid

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:49.670
August, which is the busiest time of

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.509
year for their reef restoration team.

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:53.589
>> This is your office. I don't think I've

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.150
ever seen water this clear. How often

00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:57.430
are you out here?

00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:58.869
>> Uh, every day.

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.710
>> Coral gardener Tyano and reef

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:02.949
restoration manager Hono have brought me

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:05.509
to Thaya. It's the largest of seven

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:07.350
nursery sites that they manage across

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.550
French Polynesia.

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.149
>> Welcome to our main nursery. That's

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.589
where we have mostly the all the corals

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.390
that we harvest in the water. So, get

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.710
them grow big enough to outplant them

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:20.070
back onto a damage reef.

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.270
>> And is that what these guys are doing

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.550
over here? Are they out planting right

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:22.869
now?

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.470
>> Exactly. There is a part of the team who

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:26.470
are outplanting some of the big corals

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:27.430
that we have.

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:29.509
>> Every July through October before the

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:31.350
summer heat and humidity kick in.

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.309
>> Let's go. Woo.

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.149
They spend most days collecting coral

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.830
nurtured for up to 2 years in their

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.589
nurseries

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.509
and then they attach them back on the

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:43.830
nearby reef. But this season has added

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.350
pressure with a potentially

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.509
record-breaking El Nino arriving here in

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:49.350
just a few months. They're hoping to

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.670
super boost the reef by outplanting more

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.750
heat resilient coral than ever before.

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:55.190
>> Pretty amazing though,

00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:57.910
>> man. It's an underground city.

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:00.789
>> You said how much coverage now? Uh we

00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:04.070
started at 20 20% coverage. Right now we

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.149
at 55% coverage.

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.350
>> How long will it take to get to 100

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:10.390
>> years and years?

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.910
>> They've been restoring the site since

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:14.710
2020. So it's taken nearly 7 years and

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:17.349
surviving 2024's global mass bleaching

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:19.509
event to get to this point. It's a

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.230
practice in patience and perseverance,

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.909
but it is working.

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:26.150
>> But you're right. Just just by putting

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.510
the coral out there, you see all the

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:28.150
life

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.350
>> that you've given home to.

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.590
>> One thing is clear, there is no rest for

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.430
the weary here. And the guys are now

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.430
teaching me how to fragment coral in

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:44.230
order to refill the nursery.

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.469
>> Suffice to say, I'm going to need a lot

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:48.950
more practice. The coral is so fragile,

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:50.390
so it's scar, you know, you're worried

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:52.550
that you're going to chop off too much

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.469
or chisel off too much.

00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:56.629
Also, it's just it takes so much

00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.310
patience, but you're also running out of

00:04:58.320 --> 00:04:59.590
breath, so you got to make sure that

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.070
you're keeping your body calm, man. It's

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:03.590
hard work.

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.710
>> And then these guys make it look easy.

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.629
>> Each fragment is tied to a rope.

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.070
>> It's harder than it looks.

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:12.550
>> Each rope gets 15 fragments.

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:13.670
>> That's good. Look at that one.

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.390
>> That's good. That's good.

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:19.029
>> And this rope we've adopted as our own.

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:20.870
I'll be back to check up on the progress

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:22.870
of the coral on our rope, but I'll leave

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:25.270
its care to the professionals and hope

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:27.430
for the best in the coming months.

00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:29.270
>> What happens if it is a really really

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:31.590
strong El Nino and and you do lose some

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.029
coral? What happens after that?

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:36.230
>> Me, I want to say, you know, it's nature

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.749
is the winner most of the time. So, we

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.430
just going to adapt ourselves

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:42.629
>> and you learn from it, don't you?

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.870
>> Exactly. You know, we are practitioners.

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:48.310
We try, we fail, we adapt, we improve.

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:50.870
And if it works, that's good. But if

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:55.029
it's more in the DNA proper uh research,

00:05:55.039 --> 00:05:57.510
we're going to need everybody's heads to

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:00.469
to help on that.

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:02.950
Tick tick tick 10. Second trivia. Diesel

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:05.430
fuel gets its name from a type of tree,

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:07.510
a German inventor, a city in France, or

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:14.309
a mineral.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.309
If you said a German inventor, you

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.710
fueled your brain. Engineer Rudolph

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.390
Diesel developed the compression

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:22.710
ignition engine in the late 1800s.

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.710
Unlike a gas engine, diesel engines

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.550
don't need a spark plug to ignite its

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.390
fuel. Wonder if he's related to VIN

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:30.070
diesel.

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:32.230
Most of us probably don't drive a diesel

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.469
powered car, but record diesel prices

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:36.790
can still reach our wallets. Diesel fuel

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.550
prices have reached an all-time high,

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.950
according to AAA. Lots of industries

00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:43.350
rely on this critical resource, diesel,

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.430
for their day-to-day operations. It

00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:47.670
powers farm equipment, trains, cargo

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.670
ships, and delivery trucks around the

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.990
world. That means when diesel prices

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.830
rise, so can everything from our

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:55.350
groceries and our cupboards to our

00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.510
household goods and more. This year

00:06:57.520 --> 00:06:59.830
alone, prices for diesel have surged

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:01.670
83%.

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.670
AAA's national diesel average is

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.950
currently about $6.52 a gallon, nearly

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:09.270
three bucks higher than a year ago. And

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:11.270
for farmers, some say they are trying to

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:13.909
balance rising expenses with prices

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:21.110
customers can still afford.

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:22.870
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:24.790
musical malfunction turning into a

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.710
moment of resilience and becoming a

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.950
seriously impressive solo. Renowned

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:31.029
trumpeter Dr. Jesse Magcguire is no

00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:32.629
stranger to the national anthem. The

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.309
storyried musician has played the Star

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.550
Spangled Banner at some of sport's

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.550
biggest events in front of three

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.550
different presidents. But during his

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.230
recent performance before an Arizona

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.469
Diamondbacks baseball game, disaster

00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:46.550
appeared to strike when his horn stopped

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:55.189
working mid anthem.

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.189
But some quick thinking and nerves of

00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.189
steel turned every musician's worst

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.830
nightmare into an iconic moment. Dr.

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:04.309
Magguire grabbed a mic and sang the rest

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.110
of the anthem himself and absolutely

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:19.589
nailed it.

00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:21.510
>> The clip has become a viral sensation

00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:23.589
and a reminder that sometimes it's not

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:25.670
our mistakes that define us, but how we

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.830
choose to overcome them. We had the

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:29.670
chance to catch up with Dr. Magguire to

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.110
talk about what was going through his

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.589
mind during that now famous moment. Take

00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:34.949
a look.

00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:38.790
>> When the valve locks up, I'm going, "Oh

00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:42.070
god, no. Not here. Not please, not

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.230
here." And I'm still trying to work to

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.710
get this valve, you know, freed up on

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.590
this $20,000 goldplated Monet trumpet

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.750
and it wouldn't budge. And I had to

00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:56.470
figure out something to do. And I had 5

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.910
seconds from the time the valve stuck

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.990
and I figured that it it it wasn't

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.190
coming up to pick up a microphone and

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.590
started to sing. Luckily for me, I know

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.829
all four verses of the Star Spangle

00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:12.949
Banner vocally. So, it it it was it was

00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:14.470
pretty seamless, I think. Because

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.630
there's someone watching right now who's

00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:19.590
going to freeze on a test, miss a shot,

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.509
or glitch during a presentation or

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:22.630
interview.

00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:25.350
>> You know that they have their version of

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.750
their trumpet stop working. What do you

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:30.790
want them to remember in that moment?

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:34.870
>> Stay calm. Always have a backup plan.

00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:37.509
Always. And no matter what, no matter

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.070
the adversity, press through that.

00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.389
Always press through. That was a press

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.550
for me because it had never happened.

00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:46.949
And it was it was such a shock to my to

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:49.269
my physical body. I felt like I stuck my

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.670
hand in a light socket. It was that

00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:54.870
shocking. But I stayed calm, you know. I

00:09:54.880 --> 00:09:57.269
stayed calm and I stayed cool and I kept

00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.990
at it. So don't ever quit. Don't ever

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.710
give up.

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.710
>> Your instrument stopped working, but you

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.630
didn't. And somehow you and that broken

00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:06.790
trumpet became instruments of

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:09.910
inspiration for people around the world.

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:13.269
right here as well. Or the land and of

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.030
the free

00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:20.389
>> of the free and the home of the

00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.389
brave.

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.069
>> Yes.

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:26.550
Rise up. Shout out time. Now, this one

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:28.150
goes to I'll have our aspiring

00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:29.829
journalist at Chaffen Middle School in

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:32.470
Fort Smith, Arkansas, Shiloh, and all of

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.389
our future reporters. Keep up the great

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.150
work. Stay curious, ask thoughtful

00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:38.630
questions, and never bury the lead. That

00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:40.710
is our 10. Remember, like Dr. Jesse

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.230
Magcguire showed us, when the plan

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.470
breaks, you don't have to. Sometimes

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.230
some of our greatest moments come right

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.230
after something goes wrong. I'm Koi Wire

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.360
and we are CNN 10.
