Three boys aged eight, 10 and 11 have died after they fell into an ice cold lake in Solihull

A police officer, who was one of the first at the scene, tried to punch a hole through an icy lake.

However, his efforts were not enough to save three boys who had fallen into the lake in Solihull, England.

A fourth boy, 6, remains in a critical condition after he was pulled from the lake.

Superintendent Richard Harris said the families of the children are “absolutely devastated”.

“One of my officers was trying to punch through the ice to actually rescue the children themselves.”

“That officer, as a result of that, had some mild hypothermia yesterday. I’m pleased to say he’s now been released from hospital and he’s absolutely fine,” he said.

Superintendent Harris said all personnel who attended the scene entered the water without regard for their own safety.

It is understood some of the officers went waist-deep and suffered from hypothermia.

“It’s important to stress though that we’ve had no contact from anybody suggesting that there is anybody else missing,” he said.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has offered his condolences to the families.

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.
