Taliban destroy ISIS base in North Kabul

The Taliban have destroyed an Islamic State hideout in the north of Kabul, following a blast in the city centre

In a prolonged assault in which broke the calm and peace in a normally quiet stretch of Kabul, the Taliban government late on Sunday destroyed an Islamic State cell, with gunfire and explosions heard from hours.

Afghanistan’s economy is close to collapse and large areas of the country remain in danger of terror attacks.

The presence of an apparently well-armed militant cell in Kabul underlined the daunting scale of the challenge facing the new government.

The Taliban operation came after a bomb attack near a mosque in Kabul earlier on Sunday that was later claimed by Islamic State

The IS inflicted blast killed and wounded a number of civilians in what appeared to be the worst attack in the Afghan capital since the withdrawal of American forces at the end of August.

The local affiliate of Islamic State, known as ISIS-Khorasan after an ancient name for the region, has already claimed to have carried out attacks on Taliban targets and remains unreconciled to the Afghan Islamist movement.

A Taliban government spokesperson stated that a special unit within the Taliban carried out an operation against ISIS in Kabul’s 17th district, in the city’s north which resulted in the destroying of the ISIS base and killing all of those who had been inside it.

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.
