Paris is facing a bedbug plague just weeks before the highly anticipated Olympics.

As the city readies itself to host the world’s most prestigious sporting event, officials are grappling with a different kind of challenge – a surge in bedbug infestations that is spreading alarmingly across accommodation facilities.

These tiny, bloodsucking insects have been reported in hotels, athlete dorms, and even the Olympic Village. The situation has raised concerns not only for the comfort and well-being of the athletes but also for the reputation of the city as a host.

Local authorities are working tirelessly to eradicate the infestations, employing a range of pest control measures and hygiene protocols. They aim to ensure a bug-free environment for athletes and visitors alike, as any lapse in this regard could be detrimental to the success of the event.

The unexpected bedbug outbreak serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that event organizers face, even amidst extensive planning. With the Olympics just around the corner, Paris must battle these unwanted guests to ensure a smooth and memorable sporting spectacle. #featured

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.
