Aired October 27, 2015 - 8:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

[08:00:20] KRISTIE LU STOUT, HOST: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong, and welcome to News Stream.

Now the U.S. Navy sends a ship past one of China's man-made islands. China says it's illegal. But the U.S. says they were in international

waters.

On the front lines of the fight against ISIS. We follow Kurdish fighters as they prepare to strike at the heart of the militant group's

territory.

And on her majesty's not so secret service, a royal red carpet for James Bond.

And we begin with a war of words playing out in the South China Sea today. The U.S. military says it sent a warship near a man-made Chinese

island. Now, the U.S. says it's adhered to maritime law, but Beijing calls the action illegal and warns that there there would be consequences if the

U.S. or other countries heighten tensions.

Now territory in the South China Sea is being contested by a number of countries, including China, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. Last

year, China started adding man-made structures on reefs near the Spratly Islands.

The U.S. says that they can be offshore Chinese military bases. An American destroyer, the USS Lassen, sailed 12 nautical miles from one of

these artificial islands and that is what China has built, what experts say, are a wharf and a helipad.

Now, for a look at the dispute from both sides, we have Jim Sciutto and Steven Jiang joining us from Washington and Beijing. Let's start with

Jim in D.C.

And Jim, with today's sail-by, what message is the U.S. trying to send to China?

JIM SCIUTTO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The message that U.S. is sending is that it does not recognize these man-made islands as Chinese territory, and

therefore it does not recognize the waters within 12 miles of those islands as Chinese

territorial waters. And that's why it sailed this U.S. destroyer through those islands.

Now I'm told, China says that it tracked and warned that U.S. warship. And I'm told just now, Kristie, that the warship did have a communication

on its bridge from the Chinese navy.

You may remember that we flew in a U.S. surveillance aircraft, a P-8 Poseidon over these same islands in May of this year. And at that time,

inside that cockpit, the Chinese Navy warned the U.S. aircraft away several times.

Here is how that warning sounded like.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Foreign military aircraft, this is Chinese navy. You are approaching our military alert zone. Leave immediately.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SCIUTTO; Now, I don't know the contents of the warning to the U.S. destroyer as it made that transit through those claimed waters. But I'll

tell you judging by the statement coming out of Beijing today, very strong words from China. It is difficult to see how they come to an agreement on

this. This is a real and weighty international standoff between the U.S. and China.

LU STOUT: So a clear warning was issued by China as that sail-by operation took place earlier today.

Now let's go to Steven Jiang in Beijing. And what more did the Chinese government, namely the ministry of foreign affairs say about

today's U.S. Navy operation?

STEVEN JIANG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Kristie, they certainly considered this a slap on the face. Remember, word about this mission came

out some time ago. And privately, Chinese officials have been telling me they felt frustrated and perplexed about why the U.S. wanted to move ahead

with this plan so soon after what they considered to be a very successful state visit by President Xi Jinping to the U.S. where this issue was

discussed.

Now, these officials say, of course, the two governments do not see eye to eye on this issue. But dialogue and discussions are the way to go

to resolve their differences, not confrontation.

So China, in a way, sees itself as a victim here. And that probably explains why the response today from the foreign ministry was so quick and

angry.

Now a foreign ministry spokesman said if the U.S. is worried militarization in the region, this latest move by Washington could prove to

be counterproductive.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LU KANG, CHINESE FOREIGN MLITARY SPOKESMAN (through translator): If any country thinks that through some gimmicks they will be able to

interfere with or even prevent China from engaging in reasonable, legitimate and legal activities in its own territories, I want to suggest

those countries give up such fantasy.

In fact, if relevant parties insist on creating tensions in the region, making trouble out of nothing, it may force China to draw the

conclusion that we need to strengthen and hasten the build up of our relevant capabilities. I advise the U.S. not to create such a self-

fulfilling prophesy.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

[08:05:06] JIANG: Well, Kristie, as you say, war of words there. But very few people are expecting it to escalate to an armed conflict at least

for now. So, the potential danger, of course, is always miscalculation, or misjudgment on either side. That's why a lot of people around the world

are watching what happens next very closely -- Kristie.

LU STOUT: John, it sees itself as a victim, issued that very angry response earlier today. Let get back to Jim Sciutto in Washington.

And Jim, China is not backing down in that statement just then from (inaudible) we heard that it may even strengthen and hasten its island

building in the South China Sea.

So, what will the U.S. do next?

SCIUTTO: It's interesting to hear that statement from the foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang to say China may strengthen its capabilities.

What the U.S. will be watching for here is any militarization of these islands. The U.S. believes, it has said this repeatedly, they believe that

is China's intention there. And they've watched through satellite photos and through our surveillance flight in May as China has built a landing

strip, for instance, on one of the islands that can accommodate long enough to accommodate any Chinese

warplane, as they built ports there that can accommodate Chinese navy ships.

And there was even the placement of an artillery position on one of those islands. That's what the U.S. believes China's intention is. And

you wondered in that Chinese foreign ministry statement, when the spokesman talks about building up capabilities if that is what you see next.

You know, from the U.S. perspective, no one here in Washington realistically expects China to tear down these islands. They've created

2,000 acres of new territory, in effect, in the South China Sea in the last two years but that

is the step the U.S. would be most concerned about. Do they see militarization, do they military positions there on those islands. And

that would be in effect what the U.S. is trying to head off by sailing these ships there and flying these planes over.

But, you know, it's difficult, clearly, you had a summit two weeks ago between the Chinese and U.s. presidents. Clearly this was on the agenda.

And clearly, as well, there was not progress, because a couple weeks later, you have this transit following. They're going to have to find a way to

settle this. But it's not clear how they do at this point.

LU STOUT: A new flare-up in tensions in the South China Sea. Really appreciate the perspectives from both sides.

Jim Sciutto joining us from Washington, D.C. Steven Jiang live in Beijing, a big thank you to you both.

Now, the death toll from a 7.5 magnitude earthquake that rocked South Asia now stands at more than 300 people. Now, this is new video of damage

in Pakistan's Swat Valley.

The quake, it struck Monday in Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan. More than 1800 people are injured and the number of casualties

is expected to rise as search teams reach remote villages in the mountains there.

And if you'd like to help, CNN has put together a list of some of the aid agencies working to provide relief there in the quake zone. You can

find it at cnn.com/impact.

And now to the United States, where video of a confrontation between a school resource officer and a student has triggered outrage. Now, the

footage it was captured on a cell phone, shows a deputy slamming a female student on to the floor in front of her class.

Jason Carroll has this stunning video.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BEN FIELDS, S.C. SHERIFF'S DEPUTY: Are you going to come with me or I'm going to make you?

JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: South Carolina sheriff's deputy Ben Fields, seen here, is on administrative duty this morning after his violent

takedown of a high school student was caught on camera Monday afternoon. You can see the sheriff's deputy tossing a female student to the ground

after she refused to get up from her desk, then throwing her across the classroom floor.

FIELDS: Put your hands behind your back. Give me your hands. Give me your hands.

LT. CURTIS WILSON, RICHLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: We don't want everyone to rush to judgment but we also feel that the video was very, very

disturbing.

CARROLL: According to police, the Richland County student was asked to leave the classroom. When she refused, Fields was called in to arrest her

for disturbing class. School officials say the video is, quote, extremely disturbing, and has banned the deputy from all district schools pending an

investigation.

The sheriff's department, who's also looking into the matter, says it's still unclear what happened before the camera started rolling.

WILSON: We'll have to look at this in its totality to understand exactly what happened. Is this a pattern? Is this something that he's done

before?

CARROLL: The deputy has been the subject of two lawsuits in the last ten years. In 2007 a couple claimed he used excessive force in questioning

them about a noise complaint. The husband says Fields slammed him to the ground, cuffed him and began kicking him. But the jury ruled in Fields'

favor in 2010.

In 2013 a student claimed Fields falsely accused the teen of being involved in a gang, the school expelling him. That lawsuit is ongoing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When you see a video like what we've seen earlier today, it certainly alarms you and makes you a little bit afraid of what is

actually happening within our schools.

[08:10:05] CARROLL: The deputy has been working for the school district for seven years and was recently awarded the Culture of Excellence

Award in 2014 for proving to be what they say was an exceptional role model to the students.

(EXPLETIVE DELETED)

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: Well, that video is very disturbing to say the least.

That was CNN's Jason Carroll reporting.

Now, Kurdish fighters prepare to take on another front in the conflict in Syria. After the break, a live report from our reporter who was on the

front lines with the forces battling ISIS.

And separated since the Korean War, relatives get the chance to come face-to-face for the first time in decades. And we'll show you the

emotional scenes that played out in North Korea this week.

China's Communist Party is in the throes of a weeklong meeting to decided the country's grand plan for the next half decade. And later in

the hour, hear from people on the ground about what they hope comes out of the top level talks.

(COMMERCIAL BREKA)

LU STOUT: Welcome back.

Now Doctors Without Borders says that one of its clinics in Yemen has been hit by air strikes. A spokeswoman for the charity tells us the health

center in Haydan was hit five times. So far, no word of casualties. This comes just weeks after one of their hospitals in Afghanistan was hit by

American air strikes.

Now, the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is bringing together representatives from a dozen

Arab and European nations later this week for talks on ending the civil war in Syria. And part of Washington's strategy has involved coordination with

Kurdish fighters.

In Syria's northeast, these Kurdish forces have pushed ISIS out of the city of Hasikah. And now they're preparing for a U.S.-backed offense

targeting ISIS strongholds including ISIS headquarters in Raqqa.

Senior international correspondent Clarissa Ward has been touring the front lines in northern

Syria.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CLARISSA WARD, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): These men are at the core of America's latest strategy to defeat ISIS. Manning

positions along a vast and desolate frontline with ISIS entrenched in villages just through the haze. Their fighters with the YPG, a force of

roughly 30,000 Syrian Kurds which backed by coalition air power has dealt decisive blows to Islamic State militants across northern Syria.

Commander Bahu (ph) is in charge of this frontline position in the city of Hasikah, which the YPG took from ISIS in August after months of

fierce clashes.

[08:15:18] UNIDENTIFIED MALE, (through translator): They tried to attack us again ten days ago. We were prepared, so they didn't reach their

target.

WARD (on camera): But they keep trying. ISIS has control of the next village along, which is just over a mile in that direction. But the men at

this base tell us that ISIS fighters often go at night to that building just over there so that they can launch attacks on these positions.

(voice-over): The U.S. hopes the YPG will soon move from defense to offense, taking the fight to ISIS' stronghold in Raqqa. But at makeshift

bases across the frontline, the fighters we saw were lightly armed, poorly equipped and exhausted by months of fighting. And senior Commander Lawand

knows the battles ahead will be even tougher.

(on camera): Can you take Raqqa without heavier weapons from the coalition?

COMMANDER LAWAND, YPG (through translator): The weapons we have are not high quality. For this campaign, we'll need new, heavy weapons.

WARD (voice-over): The most important weapon they do have but don't want to talk about is this device, which helps the YPG get exact

coordinates for enemy positions. Those coordinates are sent to a joint U.S./Kurdish operations room and, minutes later, fighter jets come

screaming in.

Rezwan told us he was given a week of training before using the device.

WARD (on camera): Who trained you how to use this?

REZWAN, YPG FIGHTER (through translator): Believe me, I can't say. When you finish the training, it's a secret. But they weren't speaking

Kurdish.

WARD (voice-over): A mystery, as is so much of the unfolding U.S. strategy in this critical corner of Syria.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: And Clarissa joins us now live from Irbil.

And Clarissa, the regional capital of Iraqi Kurdish, that's where you are now, but more on the story that you filed from inside Syria. Kurdish

fighters have made gains there but those gains are pretty fragile, so how vulnerable are they to a new attack, a new ISIS attack or a Russian air

strike?

WARD: Well, Kristie, the Russians are not actually attacking the Kurds or the YPG because they're only groups that pose a threat to the regime of

Bashar al-Assad, but certainly ISIS is keeping up the pressure. Almost every single day there are skirmishes along that border but the YPG has one

major advantage over ISIS, which is that it has the advantage of air support from the U.S. and from the coalition. And that will probably allow

it to defend those front lines that it already has.

But the real question is when can the YPG go on the offensive? Can they replicate the successes that they've had in the Kurdish parts of Syria

in Arab ISIS strongholds such as Raqqa. And there is still a big question mark over that.

LU STOUT: That's right. And they're asking and appealing for new weapons for them to do just that, as we saw in your report just then.

Clarissa Ward reporting live for us Irbil, thank you.

Now all this week, our senior international correspondent Clarissa Ward has a series of reports from northern Syria. We'll take you to the

area newly liberated from ISIS, yet still vulnerable.

And we'll introduce you to the people who are defending the front lines. That, right here on CNN.

You're watching News Stream. And still to come, families torn apart by war and reunited on the

Korean Peninsula. Why the happy occasion still ended in tears for many. That emotional story is next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:22:33] LU STOUT: Coming to you live from Hong Kong. You're back watching News Stream.

Now, it was a very emotional scene in North Korea as relatives who had not seen each other in

decades were forced to say good-bye yet again.

Roughly 200 families from the North and South took part in this once in a lifetime reunion at a mountain resort in the north.

Now, the families have been separated ever since the Korean War. And on Monday, this latest round of reunions came to an end.

Let's get more now from South Korea. Kathy Novak joins me live from Seoul. And Kathy, after Kathy, after decades of separations, these

families were briefly reunited. Today -- yesterday, forced to say farewell. No doubt, a gut-wrenching experience for these families.

KATHY NOVAK, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Absolutely, Kristie, they have waited so long to see each other, to have any kind of news about

whether or not their loved ones were even still alive and that they had these few hours to spend together, only to have to say good-bye knowing

that because of the way the system works, it's almost positive that that will be the last time they see each other.

We met one 85-year-old man before he set off for his reunion. And he told us he was so excited to have been picked, he felt like he was going to

talk to people who had come back from the grave.

Well, we went back to visit with him today to see how he was feeling now that the reunions are over.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NOVAK: Eun Yun-joon (ph) waited more than 60 years for this moment. He hadn't seen his sisters since he fled North Korea as a teenager to avoid

being drafted into the army. He didn't even tell them he was going.

Ever since he'd wanted to apologize for leaving them alone to take care of their family.

So he'd been consistently applying for a place in the program that offers rare and brief reunions for families separated by the Korean War.

Finally, he got his chance.

"If I had been there they would have been my responsibilities," he told them. "I couldn't do it, and you took all of that burden and worked

so hard, so I've always wanted to ask for forgiveness."

"Even though we didn't have you," his sister replied, "our great leader took us in his arms and

provided a big house."

But back in his apartment in the South Korean capital, sitting beneath photos documenting a life well lived, Eun (ph) suspects the years

have been a lot more difficult than his sisters was willing to admit in front of so many cameras and North Korean officials.

He says she looked so much older than she really is.

They were little girls when he last saw them. And he barely recognized them.

That's her scar, that's how you recognized her?

But he knew it was his sister when he saw a familiar scar. a permanent reminder of a play fight they had as children.

His first reaction, pure joy. But he says that feeling soon gave way to sadness, when he realized the kind of life they must have been living.

"I would have felt better not knowing. After knowing there's more sadness," he says. "It would have been better not meeting them."

After three days and just a few hours to spend together, it was time to say good-bye knowing it was almost definitely forever.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mother, father.

NOVAK: When Mr. Eun (ph) fled North Korea, he didn't bring a single photo. Now, he has these, along with new painful memories, lingering

unanswered questions and even more regret.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

NOVAK: And one of those unanswered questions is what happened to his youngest sister? He had been applying for these reunions for years and

finally got a letter saying that he had been selected. But in that letter was also the news that his sister passed away in 1983. He wanted so badly

to ask how that happened but he said with all of the North Korean monitors watching on he thought that topic might be too sensitive and might put his

sisters in a very difficult position.

So he had to just keep his mouth shut, keep the topics to something that they would think are not too sensitive. And so he walked away feeling

there was so much more he wanted to know, Kristie.

LU STOUT: Yeah, a core question about his family remains unanswered and a roller coaster of emotions, joy, given with the sadness, as you put

it in that report.

Kathy, North Korea, we know, has been accused of playing politics with these cross-border reunions. So, why did it allow this one to happen?

NOVAK: Absolutely, they played politics with them in the past. They canceled them at the last minute when something was happening in the news

that they just weren't happy with. In this case, these reunions went ahead because they were they agreed to at high-level talks that happened after

tensions were rising back in August. That's when some officials came together and met on the border because there was an exchange of artillery

fire, and both sides were really preparing for war at the time.

So, as part of the agreement that was reached then, it was decided that these reunions would go ahead.

Beyond that, we never know why North Korea makes these decisions. Some analysts say they're trying to curry favor to use it as a bit of a

negotiating trick to get what they want. And some say it's just as simple as wanting good PR to get for free. This is a country that doesn't get

very much good PR, so by letting it go ahead, then they can be seen in a good light for a brief time.

But of course, there's no word about whether or not these will continue in the future, when another one might happen.

So North Korea still seems to hold the chips when it comes to that, Kristie.

LU STOUT: Kathy Novak reporting live from Seoul. Thank you.

Now, as China's Communist Party considers its five-year plan, we take a look at the effect of China's push for growth. Stay with us.

Also ahead, Britain's most famous spy is back on the red carpet. We'll hear from the stars of the latest bond movie Spectre.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:31:52] LU STOUT: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong. You're watching "News Stream"and these are your world headlines.

Now the U.S. military sent a warship near a man-made Chinese island in the South China sea. Beijing has responded, calling the action illegal and

warned if tensions rise there will be consequences. Now the South China Sea is contested by a number of Asian countries. The U.S. has called for

China to stop creating man-made islands there.

The death toll from a 7.5 magnitude earthquake that rocked South Asia is climbing. It now stands at 345 people.

Now the quake struck Monday in Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan. More than 1800 are injured.

Doctors Without Borders says one of its clinics in Yemen has been hit by air strikes. A spokeswoman for the charity tells us the health center

in Haydan was hit by five air strikes. So far, no word of casualties. It comes just weeks after one of its hospitals in Afghanistan was hit by U.S.

air strikes.

China's Communist Party is in day two of its very important closed door meetings to finalize

the five-year plan. It's a blueprint laying out reform for the next half decade.

And the plan, it covers everything from social policy to the country's economy, and this governing model has been in place since the 1950s.

Now, economic progress is a crucial part of the five-year plan. China is now the second biggest

economy in the world, but growth has been slowing.

Now we spoke to people from all walks of life to see how things have changed since the last plan was implemented. And here is what they had to

say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): I have been selling local produce for a while. I make 30 duck eggs at home and sell them here. I'm

making less than I used to. I used to be save at least 100 yuan a day after rent and food. Now it's less than that. It's suddenly very tough to

make a living here. It's hard.

In my hometown, the elderly receive only 50 to 60 yuan a month as pension. I hope that amount will be raised.

LIU JIAN, FUR TRADER (through translator): We used to have 10 to 20 clients a day in the

office. Now, we have fewer. Business has declined, and my income has dropped 20 percent, to 30 percent.

I'm a salesman, but of course, I want to be my own boss. That's everyone's goal, to be your own boss.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): Business is much worse than before. This street used to be teeming with people, huge crowds. Now it's

almost deserted. My income has declined. I make less money because fewer people mean less business. I just hope to make as much money as possible.

What else is there to think about? Let the younger generations worry about other things. I'm too old to care.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LU STOUT: China's economy is indeed slowing, but it's still a nation in fast forward. And as it powers into the future, efforts to protect its

past are lagging.

Now this month, CNN's On China talks to those at the forefront of conserving China's heritage as its economy expands.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

[08:35:11] JUAN VAN WASSENHOVE, FOUNDER, THE TEMPLE HOTEL: I think economic growth also creates a rebalancing factor because urban people make

more money. They want to travel. And the local tourism industry, I mean, you can testify, has grown immensely over the last 20 years. And during

the holiday period, 1st of October, 1st of May, you see tons of local travelers

visiting, you know, site in (inaudible), in Anhui and so that also brings a lot of the resources back to

rural areas.

LU STOUT: Yeah, it brings the resources, but sometimes there is a negative consequence to that. You know, for example, what's happening in

Lijiang. And it's become so overrun with tourists and karaoke bars, you know it's just gross commercialization. And it's a UNESCO World Heritage

Site. So, what happened there?

MEI ZHANG, FOUNDER, WILDCHINA: Lijiang is a perfect example of the double-edged sword of tourism. Tourism is a great way to rebuild

connections between heritage and people. Its found its modern use. It can be appreciated. That's why people go there.

And if you ask people in Lijiant, say, are you happy with the tourism development, ask the locals who -- the (inaudible) community to a quarter

of a million people there who now live in the new town, not in the old town. And say are you happy with what happened in the past 20 years?

They'll tell you yes because they're wealthier. They have a lifestyle that they aspire to. Are they completely happy? No. Because the lifestyle,

the community relationships they build with neighbors are changing.

It used to be these courtyard relationships, right?

That is unfortunately, the price they're paying.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: Now don't miss the next episode of On China. It debuts this Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Hong Kong time. You can find out much more on

China's push for progress on our website, CNN.com.

You're watching News Stream. And still ahead in the program -- it was a star-studded London premiere for the new James Bond movie, but does the

film live up to expectations?

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LU STOUT: Now, Britain's top spy is making another highly anticipated appearance on the

big screen. The latest installment in the Bond series, Spectre, is long overdue for fans of the franchise.

And on Monday in London, the stars of the film hit the red carpet for the world premiere.

CNN's Max Foster was there.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You had no authority. None. Mexico City, what were you doing there?

MAX FOSTER, CNN LONDON CORRESPONDENT: Well, an epic movie in an epic franchise, and obviously an epic premiere to match here in London. The

question is, can "Specter" possibly meet up to expectations when "Skyfall" the predecessor, was critically acclaimed and commercially successful as

well.

That was a question I put to the leading man, Daniel Craig.

DANIEL CRAIG, ACTOR: We just set out to make the best movie we possibly could. We had so much momentum with "Skyfall" and you've got to

use that momentum and you've got to try and do better.

[08:40:11] UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Bond offers one of the last remaining opportunities for truly epic film making on a real scale, which is not

computer generated. It's done for real, real special effects, real stunts. And there's a tradition, isn't there, about the first 10 minutes of the

Bond movies now, the bar is set really high.

SAM SMITH, SINGER: Lyrically, I tried to catch what the film is about. So hopefully, it will collide very nicely and work together.

I just wanted it to be an epic love song. And also I wanted to add a little bit of vulnerability to the character.

(MUSIC)

FOSTER: Well, a massive guest list and topped by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, and you can see them on the screen as

they're meeting people involved and the various charities involved.

(voice-over): But the critics generally like this movie. They think it fits well into the genre, this massive, global franchise. But now it's out

on general release, and we're getting a sense about what the public thinks. Will it be commercially successful?

Max Foster, CNN, London.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: Now, another key element of the Bond films, the car, Aston Martin gave 007 a brand new car for Spectre, a car so exclusive, that only

one person will be able to buy it.

Now, there's a catch, though, the lucky owner won't be able to drive the DB-10 since it doesn't

actually have the necessary certifications.

Now Aston Martin will be auctioning the DB-10 off next year. As for the movie version of the

car, Aston Martin is thankfully not giving away any spoilers about the car's special features.

And that is News Stream. I'm Kristie Lu Stout. But don't go anywhere, World Sport with Christina Macfarlane is next.

END
