Journalist charged with spreading fake news in Myanmar

The Myanman government has jailed a Japanese journalist for spreading what they are describing as ‘fake news’. They say the reporter is the first foreign journalist charged since the coup began.

Officials arrested the journalist back in April.

Freedom of the press in Myanmar

According to CNN, local Myanmar journalists have been in hiding but are continuing to report the truth of what is happening on the ground.

This happens as the military and armed forces continue to take control of the country.

Reports suggest the military has captured and detained as many as 70 local reporters from Myanmar. This comes as many citizens call for their release and to allow freedom of the press.

In early March, officials in the south of the country violently arrested another journalist. Following this, the junta revoked the licenses of five prominent media organizations, including that of the arrested reporter.

The regime has been responsible for the deaths of more than 700 people since the coup in February. Thousands more have also been detained, including many journalists.

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.
