Russia fires two missiles in Kyiv amid a visit from the UN

Russia has fired two missiles into the Ukrainian capital Kyiv during a visit by the UN Secretary General

At least three people were injured when the missile reportedly hit the lower floor of a residential building.

The UN Secretary General says he is “shocked” by the proximity of Russian strikes near the capital.

Antonio Guterres is currently in Ukraine, where he is urging for evacuation corridors to open in the city of Mariupol.

He says the UN doing everything possible to save civilians from the “apocalypse” that has taken place in the crucial port city, which he describes as a “crisis within a crisis.”

The UN Chief visited towns near Kyiv, including Bucha, where mass graves were recently discovered.

GUTERRES AND ZELENSKY

On his trip to Ukraine, Guterres met with Ukraine’s President Zelensky, where the pair reportedly had “intense discussions” to make evacuation efforts from Mariupol a reality.

It comes just days after he met with Russia’s President Putin. It’s believed the leader agreed ‘in-principle’ for the UN and Red Cross to assist with the evacuation efforts.

The UN Chief is also urging Russia to cooperate with the International Criminal Court on the unfolding atrocities.

Standing amongst the rubble, he says there is always one thing true, when it comes to violent conflict.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden is asking Congress for 33 billion dollars to support Ukraine.

He’s calling for new tools to funnel assets from Russian oligarchs.

Published

on

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

U.S. home prices surge 47%

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.
