In Morocco, a funeral has been held for 5-year-old Rayan Oram

The boy died after falling down a 32-meter well on February 1 and becoming trapped for four days.

This prompted a large scale rescue that received worldwide media attention.

Hundreds of mourners gathered for the funeral after noontime prayers on Monday in Ighran, Rayan Oram’s home village and where the tragedy occurred.  

For all those attending, there was not enough space in the hilltop cemetery and prayer site in the northern Rif mountains.

A villager says that they are “over 50 years old” and have never seen as many people at a funeral.

“Rayan is the son of us all”

One villager says.

He was buried at Zawiya cemetery, in a plot where his other family members were laid to rest only six kilometres away from the village. 

Morocco’s King Mohammed VI offered his deepest condolences to the boy’s parents in a statement released over the weekend.

At Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final in Cameroon, players and fans held a moment of silence in tribute to Rayan.

The exact circumstances of how the boy fell in the well are unclear.

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.
