ELECTED – U.A.E General accused of torture

The global police agency. Interpol is under fire today after electing a United Arab Emirates General as the next president, despite being accused of committing torture

Ahmed Nasser al-Raisi is the current inspector-general of the UAE’s interior ministry and will serve a four-year, unpaid term as president of the agency.

But multiple human rights groups are opposing the appointment, saying the individual has failed to investigate credible torture accusations against UAE security forces.

Raisi rejects the claims, saying he “strongly believes that the abuse or mistreatment by police is abhorrent and intolerable”.

He was elected as president after three rounds of voting, with each member state having a say in the decision.

The role’s responsibilities include charing the executive committee meetings, and overseeing the overall operations of the agency.

Raisi says it is an “honour” to be elected president and promised to “build a more transparent, diverse, and decisive organisation that works to ensure safety for all”.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch’s Gulf has labelled it as “a sad day for human rights and the rule of law worldwide”.

Published

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

U.S. home prices surge 47%

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.
