Your social media timelines are filled with influencers; people with huge numbers of fans and followers who are sometimes paid to promote products. Influencers haven\\u2019t always been transparent about paid content but new guidelines could change that.

Also, plogging, the fitness trend that\\u2019s making streets cleaner all over the world; Durian, the fruit that\\u2019s all the rage in South-East Asia but to Westerners smells like old socks; Plus, Lucas Hixson the man who saves dogs from danger zones; and from the beaches of Southern California the story of a Senegalese Olympic hopeful and her trainer.
