The drone fell into the Black Sea after a Russian fighter jet clipped its propeller

Russia says it will try to retrieve the remnants of the U.S. drone that crashed into the Black Sea.

The MQ-9 Reaper drone plunged into the water after a Russian jet clipped its propeller.

Moscow is continuing to deny these claims.

Russia’s security council secretary confirmed the nation is now attempting to find the aircraft.

He also says the drone’s presence in the Black Sea is “confirmation” the U.S. is supporting Ukraine in the war.

In Washington, John Kirby says the U.S. is also searching for the aircraft, but stressed if Russia beats them to it, “their ability to exploit useful intelligence will be highly minimised”.

“We took steps to protect information and any efforts to exploit the drone,” Kirby added.

U.S. military officials believe the incident happened on Tuesday morning and the confrontation lasted around 30 to 40 minutes.

Russia reportedly dumped fuel on the drone several times before the collision.

When it comes to retaliation, General Mark Milley says, clearly, the U.S. “does not seek armed conflict with Russia.”

“We should continue to investigate the incident and move on from there,” Milley outlined.

When it comes to future operations, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin says Washington will continue to fly its aircraft where international law allows.

“The United States will continue to fly and operate wherever international law allows,” Austin pointed out.

“It is incumbent upon Russia to operate in a safe and professional manner.”

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.
