Who’s in charge in Russia right now? Putin’s disastrous gamble on Wagner

Published

Vladimir Putin is a weakened leader.

The Russian dictator has been in power for more than 20 years, but he’s now facing his biggest test, for all the world to see.

 
An attempted armed mutiny in Russia shows “real cracks” in President Vladimir Putin’s authority.

America’s top diplomat Antony Blinken has old US media that the rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner fighters was a “direct challenge” to Mr Putin, forcing him into an amnesty agreement.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and members of the U.S. Congress says Saturday’s turmoil in Russia has weakened Putin in ways that could aid

Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces within its territory while benefiting Russia’s neighbors, including Poland and the Baltic states.

Blinken says tensions that sparked the action had been growing for months and added the threat of internal turmoil could affect Moscow’s military capabilities in Ukraine.

But – Blinken describes the turmoil as an “internal matter” for Putin. The current whereabouts of Prigozhin, a former Putin loyalist, are unknown.

We know he’s not in Moscow. He was last seen in public leaving Rostov-on-Don – one of the two southern cities where his fighters had taken control of military facilities.

Antony Blinken says it’s “too early” to predict what impact the mutiny could have on the Kremlin or on Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched in February 2022.

Blinken added that Prigozhin’s direct challenge of Putin’s authority is “extraordinary,” as Prigozhin has managed to raise questions about the motivations for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the first place.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
