Russia says it supports US anti-terror efforts after the chief of Islamic State was killed during a raid in north-west Syria

US President Joe Biden says the death of the IS leader, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi has removed “a major terror threat to the world”.

As the raid took place, al-Qurayshi detonated a bomb which in turn killed himself and his own family… in a final act Biden labeled “cowardice”.

There was ‘tremendous tension’ in the room as U.S President Joe Biden oversaw the raid on ISIS leader that was months in the making

Syrian officials say 13 bodies were discovered after the raid, with the operation targeting a residential building in the town of Atmeh.

The region is close to the border of Turkey and is held tightly by opposition forces.

It is known to be a stronghold of Jihadist groups who are known rivals of IS, as well as Turkish-backed rebel groups who are fighting the Syrian government.

Biden was made aware of the operation over a month ago, after intelligence reports established al-Qurayshi was living in a residential apartment block with his family.

The former leader never left his apartment, instead using couriers to deliver messages to his constituents.

Biden ruled out an airstrike on the building in an attempt to reduce civilian casualties, with a special forces raid carrying out the attack.

There are reports the US special forces faced significant resistance on the ground, coming under fire as they moved in.

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.
