We have a hero today:

Pair plucked to safety in Forth drama
A MAN who was swept out to sea after jumping into the water to save an 11-year-old boy has been hailed a hero.

Ben Thomson plunged into the chilly water at Port Seton harbour after fainting when he caught himself on his own fishing hook as he cast a line. A 21-year-old man, whose identity has not yet been released, dived in and pushed him to the side, before being dragged out by the currents.

Politics:

It’s the hottest ticket in town

OUTSIDE the building the queues are starting to form, even though it will be half an hour before the doors open. It’s 8am on what promises to be the hottest day of the year – and those queuing are hoping to secure a place at one of the hottest events of the year.

But this isn’t the first day of the Jenners sale or the box office for T in the Park. This queue is forming in the historic Parliament Square and those waiting are hoping for one of just 20 places in the public gallery of Court Six. Over the last two weeks this courtroom, more used to seeing the likes of commercial cases and intellectual property disputes, has heard lurid sex and drugs claims in the defamation action brought by Scottish Socialist MSP Tommy “the Tan” Sheridan against Sunday tabloid News of the World. :roll:
