Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said goodbye to European leaders, telling them that “this might be the last time you see me alive”.

It came as Russian media reported Zelensky had fled Ukraine.

The 44-year-old leader made the chilling warning in a video call with EU leaders, just before he publicly stated he was Russia’s “target number one”

Despite his reported warning, Mr Zelensky made a defiant video hours later Friday, appearing with four key cabinet members in the darkened streets of Kyiv.

Explosions in Ukraine

Multiple explosions have been heard in Kyiv, where air raid sirens are currently blaring throughout the capital.

Residents say there were between three and five large blasts in the vicinity of the Ukrainian capital. The air raid sirens were heard on news channels.

As the sirens and explosions sounded in Kyiv, local Pryamyy TV interrupted programming with the message: “We will be back after the air raid warning is over.” See the screenshot below.

Explosions have also reportedly been heard in Donetsk, the breakaway region in eastern Ukrainian.

Verified video appears to show fighting in the southern Ukrainian city of Melitopol.

Reports say the footage shows the cancer treatment department of a hospital being hit by an explosive.

Though the embedded tweet below blames “the occupiers”, it is not confirmed who fired the weapon.

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.
