Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss is expected to lay into French President Emmanuel Macron over his desire to work with China

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss is expected to lay into French President Emmanuel Macron in an upcoming speech.

Truss will say Macron’s recent trip to China was a “sign of weakness”, after the French leader asked Xi Jinping for support in ending the war in Ukraine.

It’s the latest in a series of foreign policy interventions designed to encourage current PM Rishi Sunak to take a tougher approach towards Beijing.

Truss believes any attempts by western leaders to appease Xi will be a mistake.

Truss is expected to urge the UK government to pile greater economic pressure on Beijing.

The former PM will also urge the free world to “get real about the threat from authoritarian regimes”.

Xi and Vladimir Putin are “allies against western capitalism”, Truss will tell the Heritage Foundation thinktank in Washington.

“That is why western leaders visiting President Xi to ask for his support in ending the war is a mistake and it is a sign of weakness.

“Instead our energies should go into taking more measures to support Taiwan. We need to make sure Taiwan is able to defend itself. We need to put economic pressure on China before it is too late.”

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.
