The President of Kazakhstan is calling on his nation’s alliance with Russia to help control the ongoing riots

Eight security personnel have already been killed as a result of the mass protests that erupted across the country.

Demonstrators were initially protesting against rising fuel prices but are now also speaking out against the government.

The protestors have reached Kazakhstan’s main airport in Almaty entering the terminal causing staff to flee the area.

The government has called a state of emergency with the President declaring tough measures to contain the demonstrations.

The President called them a “black period” in the nation’s history labelling protestors as “financially motivated”.

One expert on foreign affairs says the protests are “symptomatic of very deep-seated and simmering anger and resentment at the failure of the Kazhak government to modernise their country and introduce reforms that impact people at all levels”.

The current president is the second to hold power in the former Soviet state since it gained independence in 1991.

His 2019 election was criticised by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe for its lack of democratic standards.

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.

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.
