At least 11 miners have died in an accident at a coal mine in Siberia on Thursday, with local authorities and emergency services confirming an operation to rescue dozens more people underground was suspended due to the risk of an explosion.

TASS news agency reported that coal dust caught fire in a ventilation shaft in a mine more than 2,000 miles east of Moscow early Thursday (November 25).

Dozens were being treated in hospital, a number with smoke poisoning

Rescue workers and ambulances could be seen arriving at the mine’s compound, with police huddled outside in the snowy conditions.

Regional governor Sergei Tsivilev said there were communications issues with those still trapped.

“There is no major smoke there, so let’s hope there is no fire. But we have no contact with those people, the communication system doesn’t work, but the electricity is working properly, the ventilation is working, the air is being pumped.”

The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin had ordered the emergencies minister to fly out to the region to help with the operation.

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.
