The EU has celebrated Europe Day, with leaders using the occasion to express their solidarity with Ukraine

Recently re-elected French President Emmanuel Macron says he is in favour of a ‘new type of European community’ one that would allow countries outside the Union to join in on ‘European core values’.

Speaking to the European Parliament, Macron says nations like Britain and Ukraine could join in on this, and believes his victory at the polls was a clear indication France wants more Europe.

But when it comes to Ukraine’s bid to join the Bloc, the French President cautioned this will take ‘several years’, and there needs to be a short-term solution.

So instead of lowering the entry requirements for countries who aspire to join the Union, Macron says a “European political community” would be open to democratic European nations who adhere to the Bloc’s core values.

These values would include areas like political cooperation and security, as well as cooperation in energy, transport and investment of infrastructure.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also addressed her colleagues, using a speech to express the EU’s commitment to Ukraine’s independent future.

Von der Leyen says Europe’s image of unity is far more powerful than any military parade in Moscow.

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.
