EU leaders have finally clenched a deal on banning Russian oil imports, after facing strong opposition from Hungary

Under the agreement, two-thirds of all Russian oil imports will be blocked, cutting off a “huge source of financing” for Putin’s war machine.

The European Union’s chief believes this move will put maximum pressure on Russia to finally end its war.

All 27 member states had to agree on the partial ban, which forms part of a sixth package of sanctions against Moscow.

This comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for greater unity across the board, in a passionate plea to European leaders

Labelling the Union ‘too soft’, Zelensky says now is not the time to be seperate fragments.

The Ukrainian President was requesting a new set of sanctions against Russia, including a ban on Russian oil.

Recent internal quarrels within the EU’s top body has lead to the delay on any new action against Putin and his war machine.

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.

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.
