Hope you had / are having a great new year! I just wanted to start a "Monthly world news update segment" This is my first time doing this and I know some of the stories are a little outdated, I'm not that great at it but I feel it's nice to add a few "Current events" once in a while.

*fun fact* In Russia, it's Christmas today (the 7th of January). This is because many religious orthodox Christians use to Julian calendar in place of the Gregorian one (that is used in the western world and, more or less, pretty much globally). Orthodox Christians are special. ;) Anyways, Merry Christmas! С Рождеством Христовым всех!

I really like this idea Barbie, please make this a series!!

I like how the UK isnt colored on the Europe map

[harryy]

I think you should make this a weekly thing or once in 2 weeks. Honestly you create some of the most awesome content on youtube 👍👍👍

[spotifyemail]

This is a great Idea Barby, we rarely get news thats not famine or war from places like africa

[marksaid]

I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating the festive season with your loved ones, Paul. Wish you and your family the very best for this new year.
Thanks for the great video, mate.

Last time I was this early Germany still had a shot at winning WW1

It may be tough to dedicate enough time on this with all of the country segments, but this would be great as a weekly show! A lot going on in the world, great job!

[pash]

Loved the video you did a great job man. I'm looking forward to watching more informing world news videos from you. Keep it up :)

[eerixx]

awesome idea! hope you keep this series going, dont worry about making these a bit longer!! you really know how to make great content!

[laylachristie]

Thinks to self: "Why am I watching a Geography Now video at 1 am?"
Answer: Gaining knowledge is that best way to procrastinate sleep.
Anyone agree?

[Sheeta]

Thanks for this video! I really like that you cover news from all of the continent, because we tend to hear only about the US/UE zone. I'm looking forward to more episodes like that!
(But you should definitely add a part on Antartica. All continents should be covered. No discrimination!)

Appreciation to those like Barby who use their channels to make the world better, instead of making followers dumber and more ignorant (Logan Paul)

[brandon]

As a future History teacher I enjoy your channel very much. I know History isn’t your focus but both Geography and History are closely related. Thank you for all your work.

Hey Barbs, great review of The Wedding Party movie there. I am a Nigerian and I have been watching your channel for about 3 months.
