Western nations find themselves in a precarious situation: they desperately need more missiles to maintain their defense capabilities, but the wait to procure them stretches on for years.

The growing concerns about missile shortages have been exacerbated by the changing dynamics in global politics, with rising threats from adversarial nations and the ever-looming specter of conflict.

Western military experts warn that the current inventory of missiles is insufficient to deter potential aggressors or respond effectively to emerging threats.

The procurement process for advanced missile systems, often beset by bureaucratic red tape, stringent regulations, and complex supply chains, has become a major bottleneck.

As a result, Western nations face the daunting challenge of bridging the gap between their urgent need for missile defense and the protracted timeline required to acquire these crucial assets.

To address this pressing issue, policymakers, defense contractors, and military strategists must work together to streamline procurement processes, invest in research and development, and explore innovative solutions to ensure that the West can bolster its missile capabilities and maintain a credible deterrent in an increasingly uncertain world.

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.
