A top European official warns the besieged city of Mariupol could fall “within days”, as Russia begins its offensive in the Donbas region of Ukraine

War-torn Mariupol has been largely decimated by relentless Russian shelling, and there are reports Moscow wants to declare the region “liberated” by May 9.

May 9 is a significant date in the Russian calendar, marking the day the nation defeated Nazi Germany back in 1945.

Speaking to Reuters, the unnamed official says they “do expect a complete destruction of the city and many civilian casualties in Mariupol”.

It’s also feared the death toll could far surpass that which was seen in the city of Bucha, where Russian troops have been accused of killing hundreds of innocent civilians.

As Russia pushes to take control of the Donbas region, it seems clear Moscow is determined to secure a land corridor with Crimea, the area seized back in 2014.

As Russia’s renewed offensive in the east heats up, US President Joe Biden says his administration will send more artillery systems to Ukraine.

Since the beginning of Putin’s invasion, America has so-far provided $3.2 billion (£2.46bn) in security aid to the nation.

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.
