European Union President declares war on Putin during State of the Union address

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wasn’t subtle when she arrived to deliver her annual State of the Union address dressed in yellow and blue.

The EU’s top diplomat used her speech to slam Russian President Vladimir Putin. She demonstrated the bloc’s solidarity with Ukraine.

Von der Leyen labeled the invasion as one of “autocracy against democracy”.

“I stand here with the conviction that with the necessary courage and necessary solidarity, Putin will fail and Europe will prevail,” she said.

The EU President also highlighted how the ongoing energy crisis is tied to Russia’s war.

Von der Leyen put forward a proposal to cap the revenue of electricity producers, who continue to make huge profits. This scheme could raise €140 billion.
“They (the companies) have to pay a fair share – they have to give a crisis contribution,” she said.
“In these times, it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of consumers,” she continued.

The President was somewhat candid when admitting the warning signs of war that were ignored.

She says ongoing sanctions have left “Russia’s industry in tatters” and believes Putin’s financial sector is “on life support”.

It comes as more than 1000 companies have departed the nation since the war began.

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.
