North Korea fires another ballistic missile, heightening tensions

North Korea has fired yet another intercontinental ballistic missile.

Reports suggest the launch was directed towards the east of the country and has fallen into the ocean inside Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

It comes a day after Pyongyang fired a short-range ballistic missile into waters off the east coast.

Tensions between North Korea, the U.S. and western allies are at an all time high.

The U.S. Air Base located in northern Japan told all personnel to seek immediate shelter.

Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, has condemned the missile launch.

“We naturally lodged a strong protest against North Korea, which has repeated its provocations with unprecedented frequency,” Kishida said.

“We have told (Pyongyang) that we absolutely cannot tolerate such actions.”

It’s the second suspected test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile this month alone.

South Korea and Japan are now concerned of a potential nuclear test.

According to a tally from CNN, the nation has carried out tests on 34 seperate days this year.

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.
