The Pentagon has launched a review of U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s hospitalisation.

The review comes after the White House said President Joe Biden did not know of his Defense Secretary’s prostate cancer until this week.

Austin remains hospitalised and is in good condition while review continues.

The Pentagon stated that it does not have a specific date for his release while Austin recovers.

The Pentagon disclosed on Tuesday that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had surgery to treat prostate cancer in December but then developed complications that brought him back to the hospital, where he has remained since Jan. 1.

Here’s what has been revealed publicly about Austin’s condition and his course of treatment and what experts say about the illnesses affecting him.

What is Lloyd Austin being treated for?

Austin, who is 70, learned he had prostate cancer in December after routine surveillance for the illness via blood tests to monitor levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and underwent prostatectomy, which experts say could involve the complete or partial removal of the prostate and nearby lymph nodes.

Austin was under general anesthesia during the procedure and Walter Reed, in a statement, said he recovered uneventfully from his surgery and returned home on the morning of Dec. 23.

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.
