Britain and France are engaged in a war of words over the recent migrant tragedy on the English Channel in which 27 people lost their lives

Ministers from both nations have blamed the other side for the incident, with dozens of people drowned when their inflatable vessel heading to the UK capsized.

The incident is one of the biggest tragedies to occur on the English Channel in recent years.

French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister have both expressed horror at the incident, with Macron saying his government will not allow the Channel to become a graveyard for migrants.

Both leaders have also agreed to increase joint efforts to discourage such migrant crossings, while also accusing one another of not doing enough.

But Macron expressed further fury in a joint phone call on Wednesday night, with the French president urging Johnson to stop politicising the crisis.

Meanwhile, an M-P for Dover in England – where many migrants arrive from France – says the deaths were “entirely foreseeable”.

The M-P says “people are safe in France, and the best way to keep people safe is to keep them on shore, not in the hands of people smugglers in the middle of the Channel”.

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.
