yes, many remaining i as fighters have retreated into desert heights in each hottest were defeated in syria in 2019 on more information on report and certainly, and here's a reminder off the top story we're following for you. european commission president are so the founder line has stressed the use commitment to ukraine at them. unique security conference. she said the block would never accept what she called, brush and imperialism. and that's here in used for and i will be following that munich security conference to rec today. so do stay tuned for that for me and i just an issue. i'm a don't, but a good push to me today. but yes, but see this is the consequence was $4000.00 foot. so fun. got a question. you can,

you know, i'd like to still willing would conflict in ukraine the european war in 10 voices rushes, war in ukraine. one here since the invasion began. we take a lead back and into the future in the union flowing in february on d, w. ah, just be yourself await scratch that be the coolest most interesting and ideally funniest version of yourself, at least whenever you pause and take the instagram, but seriously whose real life actually matches their social media is authenticity even possible? that's our topic and see if the name 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 lives, splashed across their feeds. the recent study evaluated more than 10000 facebook profiles and found that people feel better when they post what they actually care about. psychologists and romance 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 us about ourselves. and so this, this notion of, if we start posting more than likely 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's gained the last following by being true to herself. ah, nancy resort gifts. her followers glimpses into her daily life in ecuador, in andes. ah, her mother works on a farm. and her neighbors in the fields. her candy reflections on facebook and instagram have found a huge audience. she has around 9 and a half 1000000 followers across her platforms. commitment. i love his life as an influenza. i love you. all. her videos are playful, imaginative, and funny. the simplest, the way i've always been focus more on committee and making people laugh. 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 fiddle, i'm certainly blessed at the moon in ocoee, 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 it 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 offers 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 a little, you know, looking, but i responded with human to show people that those comments don't affect me is less than i can turn them into a joke. this a level which is a nancy russell, strives to be her authentic self and do what she enjoys, regardless of what others say, joy, my mandia, and more so i should than ever because all this was filling another one of my dreams to have my own runway in my own style is below 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 creators all over the world

can enrich our global understanding. this example from bangladesh. thus just that, no 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 going 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 le 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 land. it

doesn't make much difference to me whether i cook here or at home. we're all one big family, one lower than the biggest difference is that with these huge portions. and i can't just asked them one if there's enough salt in the food. i more so what i have from this is, oh, let me come back i. there are 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, the video we had at the time i wanted to film the villagers eating together at a picnic league 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 other people awhile. 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 focus like once you have a 1000000 people watching, as it suddenly becomes part of something larger. the turner 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 narisa is one example. she's been sharing alive as a business woman and the influence of for 10 years. she was a trailblazer in pakistan where women previously had little visibility online. hi, my name is alyssa, i'm a social media influence here i ran a youtube channel and, and instagram law. and i also have a platform unblocked, as 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 set herself apart and found success. so when i started this instagram, blogging wasn't even a king in pakistan. i just started there with a lot of things that were missing on the internet. the. there were hardly any clue 1000000 going to have the dime. and i think i'm very proud of myself to have been one of the 1st few women to have been that way. and to normalize the guy just 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 cast. and man and woman walk side by side in the studio. something that's not so common in pakistan. i think one of the things that i'm eligible in my peers and position is that i need to inspire young women to think outside of markson king beyond what they pink, dig into 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 fashion, is that you gonna wait for the right circumstances or the right time with 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 are due to re takes to the streets of his neighbourhood and duck hard to campaign for a cleaner and greenness city boy, lassie, dwayne at day, settled in my eyes. civic engagement is something individual. everyone can do their

part to keep a space in front of their home clean, sweeping, planting, trees, planting flowers. i don't think that needs a nationwide campaign wanted if there was an hipaa, the mobility to listen. he got over the years, his inspired his neighbors to join in light of 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. with dish and 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. chad. my message is to say to others that you can do the same

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 and as an ideal is 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 we call in psychological safety. if you encourage to, if you courage, people to bring their full authentic selves to work on to wherever it is to search

media. you also have to create the 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 they 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 it rules like robust community guidelines. what do you think? that is? no. that's offered to day. bye bye. ah
