Tensions are building at the World Cup in Qatar as organisers defend the no beer ban, plus Qatar’s record on LGBT rights.

Now Iran’s players refused to sing their national anthem before their first game of the World Cup against England.

Apparently in support of anti-government protesters in their homeland.

Ahead of the game in Qatar, the team’s captain refused to say whether or not the team would sing the national anthem in a show of solidarity for demonstrations that have rocked the regime in Iran.

The Iranian players stood grim-faced as their anthem rang out around the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.

Iran has been shaken by two months of nationwide protests since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

Some Iranian athletes have chosen not to sing the national anthem or celebrate their victories in support of the protesters.

Even fans in the stands were seen booing their own country’s national anthem.

Iranians were booing their own national anthem today signaling the complete lack of legitimacy of the Islamic Republic. The anthem is more accurately that of the Islamic Revolution and not of the great Iranian people. #MahsaAmini #Iran pic.twitter.com/VHHrvUZYVc

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.
