Russia is sending strong signals it won’t be a push over, in the lead up to an historic meeting between Russia President Vladimir Putin and the new US President Joe Biden.

Russia’s foreign minister says the country wants to send the US uncomfortable signals ahead of the meeting in Geneva next month.

Russia has announced plans to enhance its military presence at its western border and is prepared to respond to Biden’s remarks on Sunday in which he said he would call on Putin to respect human rights during their meeting.

Russia claims it has been more flexible than the US over the agenda for the Geneva summit.

U.S President promotes rights of Americans in the lead up to Putin meeting

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has promoted the rights of Americans to vote freely, fairly and conveniently during his Memorial Day address in Arlington.

It follows Texas Democrats staging a walkout to block a sweeping election overhaul bill.

Republicans are moving, to create new voter restrictions, that many say will negatively impact people of colour, low-income earners and people with disabilities.

Changes include limits to early voting, bans on temporary outdoor polling venues and 24-hour early voting.

This form of voting was used back in the 2020 general election in Texas’s Harris County, which Biden won.

Biden has called the proposed reform “un-American”

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.
