a pipeline operated by the state own petro peru ruptured 2500 barrels of oil spilled into the river. back on the seas boat fear began to steady and as night fell, passengers say they were running out of food and water. among those on board were pregnant women and people with medical conditions. after nearly 30 hours, the group was free after talks between local officials and the indigenous group. fly to get up next shift living in the digital age. i'm michael ok for me and the rest of the news team here girl and thanks for watching i i, in many countries, education is still

a privilege. hummadi is one of the main causes some young children walk in mind jobs instead of going to class. others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children, all over the world can't go to school. we ask why? because education makes the world more just make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. ah, just be yourself a wait, scratch that be the coolest most interesting. and ideally funniest version of yourself. at least whenever you posed on tactical instagram, but seriously whose real life actually matches their social media? is authenticity even possible? that's a topic on shift today. ah,

it seems authenticity is all the rage right now. just look at the success of the up be real here. stage photos are discouraged. instead, users are prompted or the random time each day to snap a photo of whatever they're doing in that exact moment. no filter pictures really look pretty per se, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. many people are fed up with seeing perfectly curated life splashed across their feeds. a recent study evaluated more than 10000 facebook profiles and found that people feel better when they post what they actually care about. psychologist sandra mots, explains why, if you think about society at large, again, this way of us interacting with one another. and also looking to each other for what is normative for what is desirable. so if we compare it is real version of our lives to the idealized version of what everybody else looks, lives look like on social media. essentially, you kind of have this comparison that makes us feel pretty bad out about ourselves

. and so this, this notion of, if we start posting martha antique lee as a collective and as a group, that would reduce some of these comparative bias as i like the sound of that. but how many people are really willing to pose their real unfiltered lives online? well, one way to share the mundane part of our everyday lives is with humor. take a look at the stories. this influence from ecuador tells she has gained a large following by being true to herself. ah, nancy resort gives her followers glimpses into her daily life in the ecuadorian. andy's, her mother works on a farm and her neighbors in the fields, her candle, reflections on facebook and instagram have found a huge audience. she has around 9 to a half 1000000 followers across her platforms. amendment i love his life as an influence. i love you all. her videos are playful, imaginative,

and funny. simplest. the way i've always been focus more on committee and making people love. i really like comedy that people laugh and we're happy. little necessarily. i used them was phyllis is a stunning backdrop. a great sense of humor and total ease in front of the camera. it's a winning combination. ah, the, i'm certainly blessed at the moon in an id, but simply being authentic doesn't ensure success. they like this kind of constant combination of like, what is it that can do on your side to reach audience and to appeal to something that isn't out there yet, right. so maybe that's a point, a perspective on the world that hasn't been captured and, but i'm sure that just as she is now very successful. there's probably a lot of other people who had like a similar story that something very similar. and they were just not picked up by the algorithms. i think it's a combination of offer something unique. and then also just have to be a bit lucky ah,

confidence and thick skin are also important traits to have. so as not to be brought down by negative comments. it is either we'll just go in by received many comments like that more at the beginning when people made fun of my appearance as an indigenous person and things like that. your mouse is looking, but i responded with humor to show people that those comments don't affect me is less than i can turn them into a joke. this a level to stick with nancy russell's trying to be her authentic self and do what she enjoys. regardless of what others say, joy magnolia, and more excited than ever because they'll be fulfilling another one of my dreams to have my own runway in my own star is the law. ah, no matter what she does next, nancy resort will stay true to herself. i love her attitude and have videos have definitely opened my eyes to a whole world. i might have never seen otherwise. ideally,

these kinds of authentic live experiences from content creat us all over the world can enrich our global understanding. this example from bangladesh does just that. with honey cartoon, is a cook in a small village and bangladesh. she is also something of a youtube stuff. together with other women. she regularly cooks for the villages $1000.00 or so residents. they prepare a huge portions. people from around the world, watch them on youtube. the cooking channel has more than 4000000 subscribers, or am i? they tell it's great that so many people love our videos that we're proud that even though we're poor, we're reaching so many people in cooking for our village gives us a sense of great accomplishment. i'm a medical ballet, la. ah, the channel became popular through this clip of a 3 year old making fish carry. the video now has more than 93000000 views.

cooking in front of the camera has now become the norm. but i'm on the, i'm not, it doesn't make much difference to me whether i cook here or at home. we're all one big family. i love. the biggest difference is that with these huge portions, and i can't just ask them one of there's enough salt in the food i moisten. what i have from this is all, not eric, i'm decade there. high things, the very quiet in the village until about 6 years again. then mohammed hussein's nephew started making videos of the fish market. the idea grew from there. it was little we had at the time i wanted to film the villagers eating together at a picnic, new york where every one gets some food. we started with small amounts of rice overall, then more and more villagers came to share meal time with others. rugle elias so many people around the world drawn to these videos. the psychologist sandra months, has one explanation. it's just something that might be nice to watch is like outside of what you typically do during your day. and it's almost like this cognitive

refuge that you can go to and, and let you also know is like, this does collect of experience, right? because like once you have a 1000000 people watching, as it suddenly becomes part of something larger, the channel pays off financially to add revenue amounts to more than $1000.00 euros per week. something the whole village profits from it's great when the stories like that go viral and then directly benefit the people who tell them. social media has opened up new opportunities for women, especially whom merisa is one example. she's been sharing alive as a business woman and influence of for 10 years. she was a trailblazer in pakistan where women previously at little visibility online. hi, my name is alyssa. i'm a social media influence here i read a youtube channel and, and instagram law. and i also have a platform and forecast by the name of happy holidays. i produces both videos and

podcasts at her company. she uses a few different studios for the productions and employ several people as a fema entrepreneur in pakistan. she said herself apart and found success. so when i started this instagram, blogging wasn't even a king in black. if i just started, there was a lot of things that were missing on the internet. there were hardly any clue 1000000 going to have the time. and i've been very proud of myself to have been one of the 1st few women to have been that way and to normalize the gotcha. as that name, it was art. today i'm not as i is empowering women in her home country to find their voice inviting them to speak on her blogs and tasks. and men and women work side by side in the studio. something that's not so common in pakistan. i think one of the things that i'm a little blue in my teeth and position is that i need to inspire young women to think outdated, markson king beyond what dipping,

dipping with every accomplishment. i'm not as i shows how she balances her career with being a young mother. her husband is supportive of her work. her ability to juggle her family life and manage her business has been an inspiration to some of her followers. one thing i would want the younger generation or younger women to know in order to pursue their passion is that you gotta wait for the right circumstances or the right time. mm hm. ah, one key to success seems to be standing up for what you believe in doing so can inspire others to ob, do, to re, from docker has done just that by taking the initiative to make his neighbourhood more beautiful on sundays of due to re takes to the streets of his neighbourhood and duck, hard to campaign for a cleaner and greenness city. boy. lassie duane at day. settled in my eyes.

civic engagement as something individual. everyone can do their part to keep a space in front of their home. clean la nipple, sweeping, planting, trees, planting flowers. la. i don't think that needs a nationwide campaign, blah, blah, son, hipaa. that will be the to listen. he go over the years, his inspired his neighbors to join in light up. do to raise on a mission to change the attitudes of people far beyond duck, are in synagogue. he phones the clean up sessions on his phone and then shares the videos on social media to reach a wider audience with the hash tag katie, that challenge. he's connected to people all of africa. yeah, we condition the saw and many young people have joined the green neighborhood challenge in africa. so we've got members in about 15 countries. all these people come from different places, burkina, faso, togo center,

goal. and chad. my message is to say to others that you can do the same or the samples we've seen amazing, but let's not forget these are the exception, not the rule. the fact that i even became aware of them came down to algorithms and the whole lot of luck simply being authentic does not automatically guarantee success. and there can be a negative side too. well, if you are someone who kind of really nicely fits into what society thinks of as a, as an ideal, it's very easy to be authentic. so if you're part of a marginalized group, that is much, much harder to do. so i think we also have to think a little bit about what are some of the limitations of authenticity and maybe by placing a lot of emphasis on his notion to be authentic. we're putting a lot of pressure on people who are probably having a hard time the call of psychological safety. if you encourage to, if you courage,

people to bring their full authentic selves to work on to whatever it is to social media. you also have to create a space where this is, this is possible and i think that's something that essentially does have to do. one of the things that i would love to do is essentially kind of have a way of putting content out there without necessarily everybody being able to common right away without the ability to see all of these likes and share it like shares maybe. but the essentially kind of take away some of the pressure, i'm just putting stuff out there that is popular and without the pressure of necessarily getting this constant feedback. and whether that's good or bad. not a bad idea. after all, comments can often be destructive, in order to keep authenticity as a positive thing. i think we need key rules like robust community guidelines. what do you think? that is? no. that's offered to date by, by? ah,
