Footage shows the moment Jordan North was rescued after he jumped into London’s River Thames to save a drowning dog.

The Capital Radio breakfast DJ, 34, was out for a run when he saw a Labrador which was struggling to get back on dry land near Hammersmith Bridge.

A bystander spotted North and the pooch and called the RNLI just after 5pm on Monday, 16 December.

The former Radio 1 star was found sitting on a nearby float lift with the dog.

Speaking on Capital Breakfast, North said: “The real heroes here are the RNLI who came out and got me, put a blanket round me. They’re the heroes.”

The billionaire was speaking to New York Times reporter Ross Douthat on his origins as an ally to the Democratic party, and his recent turn toward cornball libertarianism — otherwise known as effective accelerationism, or e/acc for short.

Taiwan carries out first execution in five years, upsetting EU, rights groups
Taiwan carried out its first execution in five years late on Thursday, upsetting both rights groups and the European Union which called on the government to maintain its de facto moratorium on the death penalty. Despite Taiwan's reputation as Asia's most liberal democracy, the death penalty remains broadly popular according to opinion polls, though in recent years it has only rarely been carried out and violent crime is relatively low. In September, Taiwan's constitutional court ruled that the death penalty is constitutional but only for the most serious crimes with the most rigorous legal scrutiny, after considering a petition brought by 37 people who were then on death row.

Amad Diallo’s latest Man Utd rescue act: a stunning 12-minute hat-trick
For a good 80 minutes or so, Manchester United were facing the potential ignominy of a fourth consecutive home defeat. The first television sets had only been on sale a few years the last time that happened at Old Trafford. The year was 1930, United were managed by a former referee called Herbert Bamlett and Ramsay MacDonald was prime minister. So that was not a record United will have much fancied matching.
