As the situation on the Ukraine border remains volatile, Washington says it’s unlikely there will be any breakthroughs at crisis talks this week

Leaders will convene in Geneva first, before moving to Brussels and then onto Vienna…

But the Kremlin says it will not make concessions under US pressure and warns that the talks could end early.

Washington is hoping the talks will prevent a new Russian invasion of Ukraine… as relations between the US and Russia reach their worst level since the end of the Cold War.

Speaking to CNN, US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken confirmed that the prospect of success is unlikely.

Russia has demanded that America provides security guarantees, and the United States and its allies say they are prepared to discuss the possibility of restricting military exercises… as well as missile deployments in the region.

Tens of thousands of Russian troops remain gathered on the border of Ukraine in preparation for what Washington says could be an invasion.

As the talks commence, Blinken says both sides will put proposals forward, and see if there are grounds for moving forward.

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.
