platforms can be used for the positive, but a lot of times they're not. and so you really have to seek ways to enhance yourself growth in a positive way. this generation has grown up on social media. everything in their life are shared for the world to see all in attempts to go viral. are we seeing this bleed out into real life where people are just over sharing now to complete strangers on the street? such a good question. because i think that the line between what's real and what isn't real is become completely blurred where a lot of people, especially those in the younger generation, they see that how they're presenting themselves and what they see on social media is real. and the reality is, a lot of people are out there trying to make money through social media, so they're doing a lot of exhibitionistic and, and in some cases grow test acts just to, to make a living. and i, a lot of the younger generation things that this is perfectly okay because hey, money is money and i don't really, you know, have a real relationship to,

to expands or to, however, they're making this money through social media. but in reality, it is affecting their mental health and it's changing the way that they think about themselves or self esteem and, and at the end of the day they have to, you know, go home and face themselves. thank you dr. lisa palmer, stick around this seems like a great opportunity to take a break because when we come back i want to ask if dr. palmer things in the future . could we see social media companies be held liable for damages just like gun manufacturers are being held liable for rational to the which i thought there were some openings for students to the sluggard our students could right now. let your people look, you agree, mr. late. the 1st is all the,

the at the is that i, that's a give them minus the other one. so i need which is easy to saw on the screen. so of course the initial material, which is the time when i didn't like july, the 2nd is ordered by mitchell scroll well in the middle of something in the we did present to not the beginning of the results. okay, we'll do 20. and then we'll just do 442, and i'm comfortable to then which, which, which insidiously simply process the

acceptance. and i'm going to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. search like why watch something that's so different opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do the have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed

that means installed watts, my shell stay main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called stretching time. but again, it's not. we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way and say the 1898 of the united states won the war against spain and gain control of the philippines. the people of the philippines held that the americans would help over throw spanish rule and the grand independence through the country. but the united states was by no means willing to give freedom to the philippines and side as just another colony. in 1999, the filipinos began armed resistance to the new occupier of american troops were barely able to occupy the territory of the philippine republic. but that patriot

started a desperate the rail. a war washington was forced to sit in new reinforcements and triple the number of its troops on the islands. the us army suffered heavy losses. the americans took it out on the population. general jacob smith, in revenge for the gorilla attack on the garrison in the city of fall on ega porter to kill everyone over 10 years old. the monstrous gulf of terror, according to the most conservative estimates, lead to the death of about 200000 philippines. the americans manage to suppress the guerrillas only 14 years after the beginning of the war. but the united states was not able to stop the national liberation struggle of the filipino peoples in 1946. after the decades of the dramatic ordeal, the philippines was finally able to achieve independence. the

we are back discussing social media in the effects it has on mental health. so that our guest elisa palmer olson, a licensed marriage and family therapist in san diego, california. and she's a certified e f t therapist, trainer, a supervisor and founder and one of the directors of the a mostly focused couples training and research institute at a light international university. thanks for joining us. there is a lot of focus on social media and mental health for young people. well, what about those were middle aged? what are we finding to be the effects on the mental health? those may be in their thirty's or forty's. are there less negatives? well, i definitely think that being in the thirties and forties and are being affected by social media is a, is a real thing because let's face it a lot of images on social media. our photo shop. there's a lot of young people posting images and somebody who's in there, you know,

thirty's and forty's, and they're part of the aging process. a system is a real thing and you look at these images and you say like, well, i don't really look like that. and i really want to look younger and, and it goes back again to not accepting yourself or maybe not feeling that you're good enough. and younger people struggle with that too. but maybe they're also struggling with not feeling good enough in their careers are not feeling like they're measuring up. and they're comparing themselves to take talk influencers, who are making multi millions of dollars and living this glamorous lifestyle. and they're like, well, but that's, that's not how it's actually happening for me. so they're comparing their lives in reality to their images online. and a lot of times there's, there's a huge discrepancy there that does affect their self esteem. a lot of people are going to use her plastic surgeons and saying, hey, i want to look more like my filter. and so that is a thing, you know, and people are kind of getting sick of paying for their, their face to in folders and saying, why can't i look more like this? so i think the idea of how someone is supposed to look is sort of changing because

everything is seen through a filter and not really seen through reality. and then we're talking prototypes. we're talking fillers. we're talking the car dashing ends and figures that a, a, you know, how appear to look perfect and their own ways. you're going, well, wait a minute, that's not really how i look naturally. so you're absolutely affecting people's self esteem and, and causing a lot of people to, to want to make those, those physical changes. what role does smartphones have and this, would there be a difference if a social media was only accessible on a desktop, therefore limited versus always being available in the palm of your hand? well, smartphones are actually real estate. i look at them as real estate because everybody has one and a desktop. you know, you can leave your computer, you can walk away, you don't really walk away from your smartphone. a lot, people don't turn their smartphones off typically. so your smartphone is always

with you and again, it can be used for the positive or the negative, but i don't think we can really discount the power of a smartphone. the power of an app. i mean, i'm developing an app. my apps going to be positive, very inspirational for people, but there's a lot of applications out there that really are not positive for people. and i think people have to take responsibility for their own self, their own mental health and, and make better choices. um, to to, you know, decipher what's going to be good for them and, and what is it when it comes to use of their smartphone, you know, and a time when gun manufacturers are being held accountable for crimes committed with their products. do you think it would be good for technology companies or the social media platforms to be held liable for the damage being done by their products? well, i mean, i think it's an interesting question. i mean, i think there can come to time for anything. i definitely think that companies need to take responsibility for their own morale and,

and everything else when it comes to what it is that they're publishing for the general public to realize their influence on people. and it really comes down to whatever their mission and their purposes. unfortunately, there's people in their companies out there that really don't care about anything but what goes in their pocket and in their book. and i think at the end of the day, the view or the audience, the person has to take responsibility for their own wellness and mental health to make better decisions for themselves regardless. so that could be applied to any area of their life. they could go to a bar and drink alcohol or they could choose not to. uh and it again, it, it all comes down to a personal choice. is a discussion about social media and mental health only happening in western developed countries. or are we seeing it in places that are more traditional around the globe? well, obviously i live here in america, so i'm mostly exposed to america. i do work with patients globally,

and i can tell you that this is a global issue because smartphones are global. are mostly everybody has a smartphone, but you do see in a lot of other cultures where there is more of a sense of community and where maybe they are organizing differently around circumstances and, and some unfortunate circumstances of the culture that they have a greater sense of an inner peace in our whole, in this community. and those particular aspects of, of the person or another culture do kind of help the individuals of that culture to become more adaptable to negative circumstances because they're dealing with it from a more positive perspective. so a lot of it has to do with how you think about what's happening around you. so i do,

i do kind of feel that when people are more united as a community, that there is a lot of power in that. and, and i mean, real face to face interactions, what you see here a lot, and i hear a lot about this from, you know, especially from my patients is a huge amount of isolation. and the more people are depressed or the more they're anxious through. there is more of a tendency toward isolation and we saw that with the pin demick. people kind of installation became normalized hurt during the parent dynamic. so when, when people got out of the pin that make, they almost didn't know how to socialize, but western culture just in general we, that we promote independence in the 1st place. whereas a lot of other cultures, they have bit more of a community. they're still that getting together with family or helping each other out in seeing your neighbors and knowing your neighbors and, and maybe they're grouping when it comes to prayer or even religion or spirituality,

or helping each other. right? so there is probably a lot more of that that i see in other cultures versus sort of this independent mentality that, that worse we see more of here. i would say in america, whistleblowers have come out and said chip talk has specifically said algorithms in western countries all to spread these dangerous trends like eating type pods. choking challenges boards and screening videos or depression and suicide were in china. the algorithm is set to spread videos on tick tock that are more educational . knowing this is the number one app kids are using all over the world. does this res, concerned? it does because when you, when you're talking about an online application that so many people have access to and that they're being influenced by. and it's literally something that they're

watching before they go to bed at night. and when they wake up in the morning at the times with their brain waves are most susceptible and most influenced, it does kind of raise concern if a lot of those messages may be negative and may normalize negatively. so of course that's going to be your concern and again, it goes back to people having to wake up and, and take responsibility for themselves. certainly, companies should have a moral fabric about them and be aware of what it is that they're putting out there to the public. but people have to take a personal responsibility for themselves at the end of the day, a phones or no phones. they have to look deep within themselves and say, how am i feeling, you know, am i happy with where i am? and am i seeing myself from a strength base perspective and if the answer is no, and they feel that apply any platform may be affecting them, then they kind of need to detox from it and, and take

a better look at themselves and make some changes. shouldn't governments impose limits just like they do with alcohol, or is it too late to try and reverse something which already play such a large role in society? i mean, it's a really good question. i personally hate the idea of the government intervening and freedom and people's rights. but government intervenes all the time. i mean, you can't drive 90 down a 30 mile an hour zone. right. and the government, you know, they, they are setting certain standards and principles like, hey, you have to pay your taxes on time and you have to do this and that, and you know, in some, in some cases, rules are good and some cases rules do go too far, but when you consider the fact of okay, should government intervene and how much alcohol is served at a bar? people who don't have a drinking problem will say, hey, no, i want to just be able to have as many as i can. and there is a limit, but when you consider that, oh, the alcohol i to goes into

a bar and they don't stop and they have a problem. maybe there should be a limit because then they're putting someone else in danger. so i really kind of flip flop both sides and uh, at the end of the day i think people safety is going to be the most important thing and both sides of the spectrum. because when you have someone who has a genuine problem they, they really can't stop their problem. and a lot of times they can't even afford treatment because treatment for them could be, you know, $60000.00 a month plus. so i think that the government may be, in certain cases, should look at some areas to intervene and not just, not because they want to and pins on, you know, people's freedoms. but actually looking at freedom from the opposite side is that how can we keep every but he's safe? so at least i have to ask you, how do you help people disconnect a more from social media? well, for everybody it's a little bit different, but there are some things that are the same, which is that you have to reconnect to yourself and, and build upon some of your coping skills in your core belief systems and really start building that up. but like anything you,

you have to actually reprogram your brain and when you start to get used to be a safe just being alone, you can slowly build confidence by slowly exposing yourself to society, to situations you know, little by little by little. and unfortunately, you know, we have to sometimes step outside of the box of comfort in order to achieve the goal that we want to achieve and take and take some risks. and it's, it's interesting a lot of people as much as they know that they may need to take risks in certain areas, are afraid of failure and they're afraid of, in some cases, they're also afraid of their own success. but we have to be able to take those rest and take small, but you know, significant steps toward where we want to, where we want to go and realize, hey, you know, it's, it's okay to, to feel a little bit uncomfortable. but as we get used to each situation and as we expose ourselves a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more, we realize that it's okay. and most of the time we realize i can do this. thank you

so much for joining us, dr. at lisa palmer. yeah. social media, it's not going away any time soon. there aren't problems which have emerged as a result. are just going to have to be dealt with. i'm scared now. hughes and this has been who are 360 view of the news. expecting you, thanks for watching the meaning of power it used to make you able to defend your, your values. so this is the sole meaning of your power. you'll to defend your survival and your vendors. so we see that russian power easy enough to defend our survival values, the gains that communities of powers by the

question of the nuclear love, seeing the muscles, if you look on the initial bill, while i pull up significantly posted on zillow, while it be almost getting used to put value when you do oil change, but you also still this is done, the newest frame only begins systems to do what i see these the buses. the little gear limitation says this duty to do it on both the the

one civilian is killed, 13 wounded in a you prayed in a tackle russian cell googled region. most of those days of a sudden, sea militants were killed in the right. use foreign policy, treat black males spoken states into choosing between e u membership and ties with russia as brussels appreciate so great to joining the sanctions against most of the russians day 15. national security change meet with the defense minister of laos as the 2 countries. 6 weeks, thomas, the military pulling the ship to count the security threats in asia. the a very welcome from one of our team you're working on the international coming to

live from the russian capital. it's great to happy with us this allen, our top story, a ukrainian admitted to the store. i couldn't russian. 1 road region has left at least one civilian dead, and 13 others wounded. russia has already completed a counsellor terrorism investigation into the incident with his defense ministry stating that 70 k of fled, sabotage, have been killed. and that the raid was in response to key of defeat an altima. this is the key of resemble having suffered a defeat in the city of art to ne, a switch to the implementation of terrorist tactics against civilians. on may 22nd, a unit of ukrainian nationalists invaded the territory of the russian federation. during accounts of terrorism operation, the nationalist formations were thwarted and defeated more than 70 ukrainian terrace for armoured combat vehicles. and 5 pickup trucks were destroyed the

ukrainians. how much those took the console of a bold gold uh border crossing and a cultural house and a rochelle. you have responded by launching. i'm te, tell her operations. are these you crazy and some potatoes as we understand how being pushed back on a search and destroy operation is on the way the local population has been evacuated to pull their safety thousands of people. of course, in the civilian boda area, the local government has also want people to be aware of fake news. now, you know, there's a lot of speculation circulating on social media within telegram channels, but he's, uh so, you know, said to people just wait for official statements like we take it in by these, uh, uh, the, are these, these speculation in a fake news. now the crime in the press that for you to meet 2 pasco has said that most is deeply concerned by this a talking earlier he said that this was a possibly a diversion because away from the news that you cried and had lost all true balls

known as i was sitting on his back boots, of course, the fighting had been taking place there for more than 200 days. so this was a huge loss. full, a full t of on his wisdom buck. and so this was seen as something of a, of a smoke screen. now, washington has always heard, commented, and it said that it doesn't support ukraine a carrying out with such a corporation's and such attacks on russian territory. well let's discuss this in debts now with all guest independent industrialists, sonya yvonne to the end of joining us for a lo so many thanks for joining cuz on the park on this evening, it's good to see you. now. washington has repeatedly stated and doesn't support ukrainian assaults on russian territories. but despite that, a us applied vehicle along with americans. sounds like intel was reportedly utilized in this attack. how would you assess the def? it's different than rhetoric versus reality. the reality of course is that uh, of course the us doesn't approve or doesn't proof and maybe it doesn't even care

who is attacking because you know they are the enemy for the us. so at the reality on the ground is far more different. the west want you to believe that the western media or maybe also to pull additions, then this at tech is actually from a russian opposition to the russian opposition group. actually, they said there are 2 groups. one is, uh, the religion. the hassle, who does dennis nikita and this is this new nazi who's by the way, doesn't allow to be coming into the shannon area. so yeah, that's a whole different story. and another group is saying by the darts, media, german media, they say there's another group, and it is from a russian at also russian position who are joining this group. but actually, we all know the ukrainian senators, and i mean this is the reality itself isn't what they do. and this is what we saw in syria. and this is now that has lost our channels. this is what they're going to

do now, and trying and a terrible least way to a tech rusher. what do you, what do you make of the timing of this particular attack which comes, writes off the russians victory and the main battle ground city a volunteer most? well, this is perfect timing, of course, because, you know, they, they know they have lost ease and contradictory in the media. again, in the western media. it's a saying that it's all, it's not sure because, you know, some ask who's out on the g 7 adult in hiroshima. then maybe some ukranian forces are still holding back. there is somehow in the outskirts of a channels, but actually they know they, they have lost and they know also that this is, was very important for them. it was very important support in west, i mean, it was not the very large city, but it mean it, it has a meaning. it like at the other system, money or food was liberate at the same day. so it has meaning for russia, but also much more meaning for the ukrainians. so this is why they feel their loss

is very happily. and i mean, this is uh, they have to admit it now that they have lost it and they have to admit that perhaps they are also losing our cities in the near future. we hope on the battlefield. as we said, you know, washington has repeatedly states that doesn't support you, creating assaults on russian territory. so why is that, in your opinion? we know single outrage from the kids allies and we're dogs to ukraine continuously escalating the countries by bringing it onto a russian soil. well actually, and you will be union, or nato is they know escalating themselves because now they were going to supply f sixteens. i mean, maybe there are desolated f sixteens, nobody knows. and what i've heard that they have to train the pilots, and this will take around 8 months. so we don't know about these boards, but i mean, this is also, so, i mean, it russia repeatedly said when you're bringing f sixteens, this means an escalation of the conflict, and this is what it is. so it,

because of these, they actually don't care. no, i mean, this is the same scenario that they didn't, syria, they, there's a new wreck, they actually support terrorism, and they always say, oh, no, it's russian. and this case is russia who is doing the tax or, you know, or maybe against her own people. i don't know, but it's definitely you know, ukrainian attacking russia through terrorism and the us. yeah. they don't care less likely your opinion, the unions and they tell they don't kill us. thanks for joining us. i'm sharing your thoughts on this. so sonya belongs to the independent dutch journalist. thank you. thanks for having me. by now, russia's prime minister has said his nation on china will continue to increase biological financial cooperation as the states that new records of mutual trade comes of shanghai welcomes russian business joins to when he cannot make for him a little worried about what i see russia values this century's old history of

relations with china. for 2 consecutive years. the volume of biological trade has increased by around a 3rd in 2020 to a record of around $190000000000.00 to a set. we're confident then this year we'll fulfill the task said, but it has of our state specifically to bring the 3 to no $1.00 to $200000000000.00 . china has been russia's mains rating forward now for over 10 years. the growth in trade is accompanied by important quarter of def transformations. and 1st and foremost, reduce independence on the dolah and other western countries. we will continue to increase the independence of biological financial corporation and the vice threats and our economic sovereignty. i'm here in shanghai, china where the 1st day of the to day long russia, china business for him has just come to a close. there have been a lot of businessman and high level politicians from both china and russia in

attendance here like the russian prime minister, mikhail miss justin who spoke quite a bit at this conference today about the importance of it and further developing bilateral economic cooperation between russia and china, he spoke a lot about this specific spheres in which it's important to continue this bilateral cooperation, specifically in terms of energy, of course, and as well as a trade in for structure between russia and china to increase the already quickly increasing trade between the 2 countries now we're also expecting to see the appearance of the chinese president tomorrow. she's in pain, who's also expected to meet with the russian prime minister. and they're going to be talking a lot about, like i said earlier, further development of bilateral economic cooperation between russia and china, we're going to be there. and we're gonna bring all the details as they become available. this department is to emphasize that the latest success is athene achieve this fights weston sanctions with russian expos to china,

increasing by 20 percent. the shanghai business form provides a major opportunity for the 2 countries to build on cooperation and high tech and information technology sectors. so mccain, gill from the philippine middle east studies association sites that functions russian business men being invited to the form is a clear signal that the 2 states will bolster ties. no nato was. now i know the visits illustrates 2 very important things. first is that both countries, russia in china converge and your interests to maximize the utility of their partnership based on this by lateral agreement sign uh, between both presidents a few months ago, you really take the relationship into a new era. we're both countries given of course, the highly digitalized nature of international politics these days in both countries having the capacity to really contribute.
