As the Covid crisis continues to worsen in India, the country has reached another grim milestone – 3,700 deaths in 24 hours.

Although the number of new cases dipped slightly, this is India’s highest daily death toll since the pandemic began.

Authorities confirmed almost 393,000 new infections, which brings the country’s total confirmed cases to 19.56 million.

Ten Indian states and territories have enacted restrictions, but the Federal government is hesitant to declare a national lockdown.

This comes as the country’s COVID-19 task force reportedly advised leaders to impose nationwide restrictions.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed Britain will send 1,000 ventilators to the India, to support the nations soaring case numbers.

I am deeply moved by the surge of support the British people have provided to the people of India and am pleased the UK Government has been able to play our part in providing life-saving assistance.

The UK will always be there for India in its time of need. https://t.co/RQdiZZJyxl

The ventilators will play a vital part of providing life-saving equipment, and will help “the most severely affected”

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.

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.
