A Japanese woman believed to have been the world’s oldest person, has died aged 119

Kane Tanaka died at a hospital around a week ago but it’s only just been reported by Japanese broadcasters.

She was in relatively good health but passed away of old age.

Tanaka was born in 1903, which is the same year Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize and the Wright Brothers took to the skies for the first time.

The Local Governor says he is extremely saddened by her death.

“I was looking forward to seeing Kane-san on this year’s Respect for the Aged Day and celebrating together with her favourite soda and chocolate.”
LOCAL GOVERNOR Seitaro Hattori

Tanaka enjoyed playing board games and solving maths problems.

She had been set to join last year’s Tokyo Olympics in the torch relay but pulled out because of COVID-19 concerns.

In her youth, Tanaka was known for her noodle and rice cake store. She had four children of her own and reportedly adopted a fifth.

Tanaka’s death means French nun, Sister Andre, becomes the world’s oldest person at 118.

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.
