00:00 Welcome back once again.

00:03 And in our country, kids are moving forward so fast.

00:09 Thank you so much.

00:10 They are making their name in different fields.

00:12 For appreciating me.

00:13 I was talking about youngsters.

00:14 I didn't talk about those who are sitting with me.

00:17 Talented and youngsters.

00:19 Okay, so Karachi's...

00:20 Because there are youngsters like me in the team.

00:22 Anyway, I will tell Ashfaq to drink your tea.

00:26 I will tell the viewers that I am going to introduce you to a girl.

00:31 She is only 14 years old.

00:34 But she has surprised the world with her talent.

00:38 And what she did?

00:40 Her name is Zonish Baksh.

00:41 Recently, she has defeated 45 ambassadors of Malaysia.

00:45 You can imagine how competent people will be there.

00:48 She has named herself as the best diplomat award.

00:51 And she is a student of Niji School.

00:53 She was sent to Kuala Lumpur Diplomat Conference.

00:56 Where she was the youngest.

00:57 Whereas other young girls...

00:59 Young girls?

01:00 Should I tell you?

01:01 From 55 to 55.

01:02 She was there for 55 years.

01:04 Here, Zonish presented the best ideas for the issue of international relations.

01:09 In fact, she proved it with her arguments and surprised everyone.

01:12 Among these ideas, the best idea was declared.

01:15 Which she presented.

01:16 And she was awarded the best diplomat award.

01:19 Let's talk to Zonish.

01:21 She is with us in the studio.

01:23 She is in Lahore, but in Karachi.

01:25 She is at the set of Bakhabar Saveria.

01:27 Thank you so much for coming here and joining us.

01:31 What was the idea that you presented to people?

01:35 And they accepted that you are better than the most.

01:38 First of all, thank you for inviting me here.

01:40 And about best diplomat, the topic was...

01:43 How to prevent online exploitation in the digital age for children.

01:47 We were supposed to find a solution on how children cannot be exploited online.

01:52 So what we did was, we created this umbrella subsidiary.

01:55 In which every country has this one NGO, which is controlled by the governments...

02:00 Who collaborate with the technological companies.

02:02 If you answer in Urdu, so that our millions, billions, billions of people can understand.

02:08 Basically, it is that government and technological companies...

02:11 Like Pakistan's government and YouTube.

02:13 They will collaborate.

02:14 Pakistan will tell YouTube's people that our people are facing these problems.

02:19 Our children are being exploited like this.

02:21 So in that way, YouTube will change its policies.

02:23 So the governments and technological companies will work together and change their policies.

02:28 And why will YouTube listen to us?

02:29 Because we will give them incentives.

02:31 We mentioned this in our resolution.

02:32 We will give incentives, for example, tax grants.

02:35 These things or we will say, make YouTube kids.

02:38 Because you can profit from that and you can profit from YouTube.

02:41 So both ways it is safer for kids and you earn more profits.

02:44 That was our idea.

02:45 And the other participants with you, was there no age limit?

02:51 Was it like this?

02:52 Sort of like this, but they called basically...

02:55 They called those people who wanted to experience how to become a diplomat.

02:59 So all age groups can come in that.

03:01 So there were more kids of your age?

03:03 There was no one of my age.

03:04 I was the youngest one there.

03:06 Maybe 16th to 17th, most of them were above me.

03:10 Apart from that, there were 15, 25.

03:12 And you know, Zonish, your idea is being debated all over the world.

03:16 That we are going towards digital age.

03:19 And we don't have any data about privacy.

03:22 No laws exist in Pakistan, obviously.

03:24 Work is being done on this.

03:25 Now, an authority is also being established, which is on the side of PTA.

03:29 So the thing is, my question to you, tell me.

03:32 Because nowadays, the companies are richer than the countries.

03:37 YouTube, Metaverse, all these things.

03:40 You know, these guys are very rich.

03:42 So how much does our influence matter to them?

03:45 Diplomatic influence.

03:46 Because our influence matters because technological companies are getting customers.

03:51 They are getting their customers.

03:52 However, those customers are getting harmed.

03:54 And who are those customers?

03:55 Our government people.

03:57 When our government people are getting harmed,

03:59 then technological companies need to make a change.

04:01 Otherwise, cases can be filed against them.

04:03 The award that you have won, Best Diplomat.

04:06 What is this?

04:08 And what are the doors that open for you to win this award?

04:12 Best Diplomat Award is basically, in the MUN, it's the highest thing.

04:16 So for example, Best Delegate, Best Diplomat.

04:18 These are the awards.

04:20 These are the doors that open for diplomacy and international relations.

04:23 So you will pursue your career on this side as well?

04:25 Career, sort of, I am going towards doctor or software engineering.

04:29 But this I can't do.

04:30 But you can tell any career diplomat.

04:32 You can tell any career diplomat, I was 14 when I won this award.

04:38 International relations, maybe a UN diplomat.

04:41 To represent Pakistan in the UN.

04:44 What other ideas were presented there?

04:47 Other ideas, there were other stuff such as ban kids from the internet.

04:50 However, that was not suitable.

04:52 Total ban?

04:53 Total ban, as in you don't allow kids to watch certain stuff.

04:56 But you don't put restrictions on them.

04:58 Because that's not freedom of speech or freedom of expression.

05:01 So we said that we have to stop on our side, we can't ban kids.

05:05 But there has to be a controlled freedom.

05:07 Exactly, so we said, like YouTube, YouTube kids, Amazon, Amazon kids.

05:12 So kid version, with which you can also earn profit.

05:14 Tell me, going there on such a big stage, people from all over the world must have come.

05:18 So at any moment, there is no nervousness or any problem?

05:21 Yes, in the beginning, when I entered the room, I was nervous.

05:26 But my parents, especially my father, supported me a lot.

05:31 They gave me proper coaching.

05:34 So when he comes home, I keep asking him about my research.

05:37 And he helps me, he teaches me a lot of stuff.

05:39 And what do you use for research?

05:42 For research, mainly just Google.

05:44 But like I said, my father helped me a lot.

05:47 Because when he comes home, he knows a lot about the world.

05:49 He has his own business, so he knows a lot about export, import, customs.

05:53 So when I ask him, I get personal advice from someone I know.

05:58 So that's really helpful.

05:59 Thank you, thank you so much, Zonish, for coming in the show.

06:02 And see how the kids are moving forward.

06:04 And what ideas they have.

06:06 By the way, the youngsters, they are full of ideas.

06:09 Thank you so much for appreciating me as well, Sadaf Abdul Rahman.

06:12 Break, break, break.
