How to give “News” update on Activity page

    Hi, I’m using latest version of buddypress. I want to customize my activity page to show updates on activity page for me and my friends only, so I’ve used the codes which was given by @R-A-Y. But I want to make the blogs updates to be shown in activity page to everyone irrespective of friend, but I don’t know how to achieved that because the code which I’ve used is restricting to me and my friends only. And even I want to give “News” update in activity page can anyone suggest me how to achieve that two things.

    The codes which I’ve used for activity page which shows activity updates for me and my friends is given below:–

    add_action( 'bp_loaded', array( 'BP_Home', 'init' ) );
    /**
     * BP Home
     */
    class BP_Home {
    	/**
    	 * Our activity scope name.
    	 *
    	 * @var string
    	 */
    	const SCOPE_NAME = 'swa-home';
    	/**
    	 * Multiple scopes we will be using for our 'Home' tab.
    	 *
    	 * @var string
    	 */
    	protected static $scopes = '';
    	/**
    	 * Marker to determine when to stop our object buffer
    	 *
    	 * @var bool
    	 */
    	public $should_end_buffer = false;
    	/**

    	 */

    	public function __construct() {
    		if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
    			return;
    		}
    		// set our default scopes
    		$this->set_default_scopes();
    		// add in our hooks
    		$this->hooks();
    	}
    	/**
    	 * Sets the default scopes used by the "Home" tab.
    	 *
    	 * Filterable.
    	 */

    			$scopes[] = 'friends';
    		}
    		self::$scopes = apply_filters( 'bp_activity_home_scopes', $scopes );
    	}
