An American tourist has fallen into the crater of Mount Vesuvius to get his mobile phone

A 23-year-old man from Baltimore was hiking on an unauthorised part of the Italian mountain, when he fell into the crater to retrieve his phone.

The man was travelling with three relatives, while two British tourists were also spotted walking on the forbidden trail.

He scraped by with just a few bruises on his hands, arms and back.

Local authorities thanked rescue workers who staged a delicate rescue to recover the man from the active volcano.

He was treated by an ambulance that arrived at the scene but reportedly declined going to the hospital.

According to local authorities, the path along Mount Vesuvius has clear signs of forbidden access and danger warnings.

A prosector is believed to be deciding whether to proceed with a formal charge for invasion of public territory.

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.
