Brazilian authorities have found the backpack of a British journalist who vanished in the Amazon last week

Fears have been mounting over the fate of Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira who went missing in Brazil last week.

Philips’ mother-in-law says she has lost hope of the pair emerging alive.

Authorities search the surrounding areas for the missing men.

Brazilian Federal Police and the army are searching the area around São Gabriel but vegetation and terrain is proving difficult.

The men’s belongings were discovered hours after a vigil, which was held on a beach in Rio de Janeiro.

“Objects belonging to the two missing persons have been found: a health card, black pants, a black sandal and a pair of boots belonging to Bruno Pereira, and a pair of boots and a backpack belonging to Dom Phillips containing personal clothing.”

Authorities have reportedly found traces of blood in the boat of a fisherman, Amarildo Costa de Oliveira, who is under arrest as the only suspect.

Witnesses say the Costa de Oliveira pursued the men upriver.

Phillips has contributed to The Guardian, and had travelled to the Javari Valley while working on an environmental protection book. Pereira was serving as a local guide on the journey.

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.
