 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.

PARAMOUNT TO CUT 1,000 JOBS AFTER MERGER WITH SKYDANCE. (PHOTO).



Paramount to cut 1,000 jobs after merger with Skydance. 

Paramount is set to lay off roughly 1,000 employees on Wednesday, with another 1,000 cuts expected later, as the studio works to streamline operations and reduce costs following its recent merger with Skydance. Most of the initial job losses will affect U.S.-based staff, though international employees are also likely to see reductions in the coming weeks. The merger, finalized in August for $8.4 billion, included a plan to achieve $2 billion in cost savings.

The layoffs were originally scheduled for November but have been accelerated. Jeff Shell, president of the newly merged company, emphasized that the process would be handled as efficiently as possible, noting the company does not plan to have layoffs on a quarterly basis. Paramount has already experienced multiple rounds of cuts under prior leadership, including three waves in 2024 that eliminated about 15% of its U.S. workforce. Divisions focused on theatrical releases and linear television have historically been the most affected. The merger with Skydance, led by CEO David Ellison, follows Ellison’s broader expansion efforts, including previous attempts to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and a $7 billion deal securing UFC broadcasting rights.
