"Paramount+ Exclusives Removed from International Lineup"

Paramount+ is removing some international original content across its markets and will not debut some planned programming sourced outside the U.S. as part of its cost management strategy, focusing on big U.S. studio franchises and reducing local and international originals. This move aligns with the industry trend of streamlining content portfolios to prioritize the biggest hits and license programming to third parties. Paramount president and CEO Bob Bakish emphasized the importance of Hollywood hits and global mass appeal content, while assuring that local content will still be part of Paramount's programming mix through its leading free-to-air networks in Australia, Argentina, Chile, and the U.K.

Despite the setback, Ryanair sees some optimism for the summer and remains committed to its long-term passenger growth target.

"Global Retailers Navigate Price Hikes Amid Houthi Red Sea Attacks"

European and U.S. retailers are implementing strategies such as carrying more stock, switching to local suppliers, and reducing dependence on China to build more resilient supply chains amidst disruptions in the Red Sea. With limited financial flexibility, retailers are wary of hiking prices and are absorbing higher transport costs. Some are using sea-air freight and limiting discounting to protect inventory, while others are considering "nearshoring" to source closer to their markets. However, the focus remains on cost management and maintaining profitability in the face of supply chain challenges.
