South-east Asian nations have called out Myanmar’s military for a lack of progress and failure to commit to peace

ASEAN leaders are expressing their concerns about the continued military presence in Myanmar.

Foreign leaders have previously met to discuss the worsening situation in Myanmar, which has been rocked by months of turmoil since the military seized power in February.

Malaysia’s Foreign Minister warns the nation could be excluded from this month’s ASEAN Summit if it refuses to cooperate with a special envoy to resolve the crisis.

Saifuddin Abdullah stated that Malaysia was “disappointed” at the lack of cooperation with Erywan Yusof, Brunei’s second foreign minister, who took on the job in August.

“Unless there is progress, it would be difficult to have”
Myanmar’s military leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing at the ASEAN summit later this month said.

The UN Secretary-General warns the opportunity to prevent the army from entrenching its rule could be narrowing.

The military has reportedly used force to prevent protests and a mass disobedience movement, which emerged in the wake of the coup.

Over 1,000 people have been allegedly killed.

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.
