Two new border crossings have been opened between Turkey and Syria to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid

Syrian President Bashar Al Assad has agreed to allow U.N. deliveries to opposition-held northwest Syria through the crossings for three months.

The earthquake has left a trail of destruction and at least 37,000 people dead.

Turkey’s worst earthquake in almost a century has left a trail of destruction and at least 37,000 people dead in the the south-east and in neighbouring Syria.

More than 158,000 people have left the quake zone in southern Turkey.

But among the survivors, shock is also turning to anger.

Across the border in the Syrian city of Harem, north of rebel-held Idlib, a makeshift camp has been set up among the ruins.

In Turkey alone, the cost of the earthquake could cost Ankara up to $84.1 billion, according to one business group.

According to official government figures, some 42,000 buildings have either collapsed, were in urgent need of demolition, or severely damaged across 10 cities.

While President Erdogan has said the state will rebuild the quake hit areas within a year.

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.
