Canada has closed its airspace near parts of the U.S. border due to air defence operation

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a U.S. fighter jet shot down an object over Canada.

The U.S. believes the flying objects over North American airspace were balloons.

Both Canadian and US aircraft were scrambled to track the object, which Trudeau says had “violated Canadian airspace”.

Washington has been on high alert since its military destroyed a suspected Chinese spy balloon earlier this month.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told ABC that Beijing was likely using a “crew of balloons” that had “probably been all over the world”.

He told viewers the U.S. got enormous intelligence information from surveilling the balloon.

However a spokesperson for the US Department of Defense said the latest two objects “did not closely resemble” the original balloon and were much smaller.

Three objects have now been shot down over North America in the past week.

On Friday, the American military shot down an object the size of a small car off Alaska.

It happened just under a week after the U.S. destroyed a Chinese balloon over the Atlantic.

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.
