Britain’s Metropolitan Police are set to email more than 50 people as part of its inquiry into lockdown parties at held at Downing Street and Whitehall

Police say a questionnaire will be sent to people alleged to have been at events on eight dates between May 2020 and April 2021.

The questionnaire will request information for their account of what happened and “must be answered truthfully”, the Met said.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie are expected to be among the people to receive and email.

Met Police revealed in the email must be answered within seven days, but being contacted did not mean a fine would always be issued.

The police inquiry, called Operation Hillman, is looking into 12 gatherings that occurred over eight dates during the course of the COVID pandemic – some of which the Prime Minister himself attended – to see if coronavirus regulations were broken.

The investigation was launched after an inquiry by senior civil servant Sue Gray, who in her initial findings criticised “failures of leadership and judgement” over the gatherings in Downing Street and Whitehall and referred them to police.

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.
