 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his.

 Rome, Italy heatwave to ease slightly at Ferragosto


Italy's long heatwave will ease slightly at the Ferragosto mid-August national holiday for the Catholic Feast of the Assumption but almost record-high temperatures will only fall by 2-3°C, weatherman Lorenzo Tedici said Tuesday.


He said the muggy 'afa' that has meant sleepless nights for many will let up a bit with temperatures falling from 39 to 36°C. "The boiling African heat will be a little less hellish from Ferragosto on," said Tedici.


Meanwhile, after the mercury in Florence hit 41°C on Sunday and Monday, temperatures will still be that high Tuesday in inland areas of Sardinia, he said.


  In northern Italy, too, Forlì will see 40°C while thermometers will register 38-39° in Ferrara, Florence, Foggia, Lecce, Oristano, Prato, Reggio Emilia, Siracusa, Trento and Verona.


Wednesday, the eve of Ferragosto, will see continued weltering conditions with peaks of 39°C in the south, and 38° at Ferrara and Forlì, while Florence will register 37°C. "On Ferragosto, cooler air from France will bring temperatures down a tad and the afa will loosen its grip," said Tedici.
