Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks during a press conference

The People’s Republic of China threatened to take action against agencies in the United States responsible for destroying and recovering one of its surveillance balloons.

After being shot down by the U.S. government on February 4 over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina—the surveillance balloon has been a topic of discussion daily for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China.

However, the spokesperson remained vague regarding the proposed countermeasures.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy is collecting debris from the shot down Chinese spy balloon and the FBI continues to analyse it.

Since then, three mysterious objects were shot down over the United States.

Crews continue efforts to locate those downed balloons in northern Alaska, the Yukon and Lake Huron.

National Security Council Strategic Communication Coordinator John Kirby discussed the possible nature of the mysterious objects: “These balloons very well could be of a completely benign nature perhaps a commercial or scientific research is sort of a focus there.”

On Capitol Hill there are more questions than answers surrounding all of the incidents.

Bipartisan calls are growing louder for President Joe Biden to formally address the American people on this serious issue regarding America’s national security.

“The President needs to find the courage to get in front of the American public and tell them what he knows,” said Kansas Senator Roger Marshall.

Marshall continued, “The President can get in front of America and tell them firsthand that we’re safe, that everybody’s gonna be ok, that we’ve got this under control—but America needs a strong leader to step forward.”

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.
