U.S. President Joe Biden has met with the leaders of both Sweden and Finland as the two Nordic nations move forward with their NATO memberships

The President is offering full administrative support from his country, as fellow member Turkey warns it will block any attempt by either country to join the alliance.

Sweden’s Prime Minister and Finland’s President joined Biden in the White House Rose Garden, standing in front of each nation’s flag in a public sign of solidarity.

The U.S. leader says the addition of Finland and Sweden will make NATO stronger.

The Biden administration begun submitting paperwork to Congress for approval once Finland and Sweden gave the go ahead.

But Turkey is expressing strong opposition to the alliance expansion, requesting Sweden to halt support for Kurdish militants and asking both applicants to lift their bans on some arms sales with the opposing nation.

All 30 NATO members need to approve any new entrant, making Turkey’s approval critical.

Finland’s President says his government is open to discussing all Turkey’s concerns, all in an attempt to strengthen transatlantic security.

Sweden’s Prime Minister says now more than ever, it’s great to be supported by close allies.

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.
