The companies have talked about offering a combined Paramount+ and Apple TV+ offering that would cost less than subscribing to both services separately, the report said, citing people familiar with the discussions. The talks are in their early stages, and it is unclear what shape the bundle could take, the report added. Apple and Paramount did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

[1/2] A herd of cattle is seen at the Marupiara ranch in the city of Tailandia in the state of Para, Brazil March 17, 2020. The state government established the program in a decree published on Monday and sets the target of individual tracking of all 24 million cattle in Para by December 2026. Cattle ranching in Brazil is linked to nearly 24% of global annual tropical deforestation and approximately 10% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, the conservancy said. Para has Brazil's second biggest cattle herd behind the west-central state of Mato Grosso, according to government data. "The absence of full traceability in Para undermined their ability to attract legitimate investment into this sector."

REUTERS/Alyssa Pointer/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Nov 14 (Reuters) - A New York trial judge has narrowed Warner Bros Discovery's lawsuit against Paramount Global (PARA.O) over the rights to stream "South Park," the animated comedy featuring foul-mouthed children. She also dismissed a claim that Paramount failed to act in good faith, because that claim duplicated Warner's breach of contract claim. Warner sued in February, saying Paramount breached the agreement by providing only 14 new episodes, and diverted other new "South Park" content to its Paramount+ streaming service under a $900 million agreement with Parker and Stone. "South Park" was launched in August 1997 on Comedy Central, owned by Paramount. The case is WarnerMedia Direct LLC v Paramount Global et al, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No.

A general view shows the water conditions in the Piraiba river before a summit of Amazon rainforest nations, in Belem, Para state, Brazil August 5, 2023. The Amazon jungle is the world's largest rainforest and its protection is seen as vital to curbing climate change. "It's an impressive result and seals Brazil's return to the climate agenda," said Marcio Astrini, head of advocacy group Climate Observatory. Under the right-wing former president, destruction at the hands of ranchers, land speculators and miners surged to a 15 year high. The official annual period is measured from August to July as there is less cloud cover in the middle of the year to obscure deforestation on satellite images.

☆ Big media rallies as tentative actors' deal paves way for restarting productions

Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.O) and Paramount Global (PARA.O) gained 3% each, Netflix (NFLX.O) rose marginally, while Walt Disney (DIS.N) jumped 4%, as it also benefited from strong earnings and a plan to cut more costs. The writers, who had gone on strike before the actors in spring, returned to work in late September, but most productions remained halted as the actors were on picket lines. "Its certainly a very encouraging sign the chasm that opened up between actors, writers and studios can finally be closed and work begin in earnest on re-starting productions," said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown. Streeter warned that "it's going to take considerable time before new movies, in particular, will appear on screens given the lengthy post-production process."

Diaz returned to training on Thursday after missing two Liverpool games and said he was ready to play against Luton, with manager Jurgen Klopp selecting him on the bench.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration Acquire Licensing RightsNov 3 (Reuters) - Paramount Global shares (PARA.O) surged 10% on Friday, after the media company narrowed the 2023 loss forecast for its fast-growing streaming business as investments peaked a year ahead of target. "We now expect DTC (direct-to-consumer) losses in 2023 will be lower than in 2022 – meaning streaming investment peaked ahead of plan," Paramount CEO Bob Bakish said. Despite the industry's focus pivoting to profitability, analysts do not see a clear path to that target, with brokerage Needham believing that Paramount could be bought by a larger streaming competitor. "It is bite-size enough to be acquired by a larger streaming competitor for its deep library of film and TV content, as well as its sports rights and news assets."

Swimming legs of test events for triathlon and Para triathlon were also scrapped in August over water quality concerns. "They really are considering their options and are going to try to make sure we have the best experience possible next year." Paris has been working on clean-up efforts to make the Seine swimmable again, as it was during the 1900 Paris Olympics. Bathing in the Seine has been banned since 1923, though officials have long promised to restore water quality to safe levels.

By Anthony BoadleBRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian lawmakers have set up a congressional caucus to represent Brazil's oil and gas industry, led by state-run producer Petrobras, and to back the company's plans to explore offshore fields near the mouth of the Amazon River. Petrobras has planned to explore in the so-called Northern Brazilian Equatorial Margin, following major discoveries in neighboring Guyana and Suriname. We have to explore for oil at the mouth of the Amazon," Pazuello said. The Parliamentary Front in Support of Oil, Gas and Energy, as the caucus is called, was launched on Tuesday with 217 members, or 42% of the lower chamber of Congress. He said the launch of the caucus received unprecedented support in Congress and was a non-partisan effort.
