Russia continued its assault on several key Ukrainian regions, as G7 leaders unite

G7 LEADERS UNITE- As Russia continued its assault on Ukraine, G7 leaders met to discuss the ongoing war.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is pushing for more than 100 countries to back America in condemning Russia at the upcoming Emergency UN General Assembly meeting.

In a matter of day, the US will lead the push on a resolution to have Russia punished for its actions in Ukraine.

Russia continued its assault on several key Ukrainian regions on Tuesday, the second day of heavy strikes this week which have targeted the country’s critical infrastructure.

On Monday alone, 19 people died and more than 100 were injured during Russian attacks aimed at key cities.

In response, the United States is set to deliver two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems to Ukraine as quickly as possible.

The White House says the systems will help with Zelensky’s requests for more air defence support.

At a meeting of the G7 on Tuesday, Ukraine’s President urged leaders to create an “air shield” and increase sanctions against Russia.

Had a call with 🇮🇹 Prime Minister #MarioDraghi. Informed about the consequences of Russia’s missile terror. Thanked him for consistent, strong support. Coordinated positions on the eve of important international events, including the #G7 Summit.

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.
