 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.

 Junta-ruled Guinea sets referendum for September in potential step to democracy


Guinea's military leader has set September 21, 2025, as the date for a constitutional referendum, according to a decree read out on state television on Tuesday evening, in a potential first step towards returning to constitutional democracy, Reuters reported.


Mamady Doumbouya seized power in a coup in September 2021, and in 2022 proposed a two-year transition to elections but then did not take steps to organise a vote.


Guinea, a bauxite and iron ore-producer, is one of several West African countries where the military has taken power and stalled a return to civilian rule.


It missed a December 31, 2024 deadline that military authorities had set for a return to a civilian administration.


In July 2024 the junta presented a draft of a new constitution which may allow Doumbouya to participate in the next presidential election.


Authorities have said a referendum on the draft constitution would be a precursor to any election and a return to constitutional rule.


Guinea's two former ruling parties are currently suspended.


The other major opposition party, the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFD), has been placed under surveillance.
