A TEENAGER has died after he tragically drowned in a Glasgow river. Cops, paramedics and firefighters were all scrambled after reports of a 15-year-old boy in the River Kelvin last night. 3 3 A major rescue operation was launched on Kelvindale Road near the city's Maryhill. The emergency services, including water rescue support teams, were parked up on the busy road beside the River Kelvin as the incident unfolded on Saturday. Police officers were seen standing guard at a path beside the road leading onto the National Cycle Network. Locals reported seeing a police helicopter circling overhead. Tragically, a body was found in the river around 11.30pm. Police say a probe into the tragedy is currently ongoing but the death is not being treated as suspicious. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 6.40pm on Saturday, 12 July, 2025, a search and rescue operation was launched following a report of a 15-year-old male in the River Kelvin, near Maryhill Road, Glasgow. 'Emergency services attended and around 11.30pm the body of a male was recovered from the water. "Enquiries are ongoing, however, the death is not being treated as suspicious."

Woman dies after tragic fall at busy Scots beauty spot in front of 'distraught' crowd Elsewhere, we told how a woman has died after falling at a waterfall popular with swimmers and sunbathers near Glasgow. The victim, 63, was fatally injured as families flocked to the beauty spot in the Campsie Glen on the hottest day of the year. Police, fire engines and an ambulance were sent to the area where a hiker was hospitalised after plunging 25ft last summer. An onlooker told The Scottish Sun: 'There was a lot of people crying at the scene. The police and ambulance service are there. I think a specialist climbing unit had also been there earlier. It's quite a hilly and rocky area. It's easy to fall over the side.' Police sealed off a nearby car park with blue tape and were stopping drivers from entering after the accident around 12.35pm. The woman was treated by paramedics but could not be saved.

I've been having great sex with a man who's just become a father & can't end things
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DEAR DEIDRE: THE wife of the man I'm having an affair with gave birth to their first child last week – but the sex we have together is so intense I can't bring myself to end things. I'm not completely cold-hearted. When he told me that his wife was pregnant I did try to call it off. But we only lasted a week before we met again and had sex. I'm 27 and have had a couple of long-term relationships in the past, but I have never felt the way I do about this man. He's 35. We met through a mutual friend at their birthday party a year ago. We started chatting and flirting a little but nothing else happened. I then heard that he'd got married. I bumped into him in town a few weeks later and the attraction between us was obvious. We went for a drink and got on brilliantly and he didn't mention his wife once. He then began messaging me and we agreed to meet up. This time we ended up having sex in his car. It was all so passionate and intense. Recently, he got a new job which means more travelling, so we see each other less. But when we are reunited the sex is off-the-scale good. He told me he will never leave his wife, but he becomes jealous and possessive when I tell him my plans. I'm not seeing anyone else but he hates me going out with my friends. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it Now that his wife has had their baby, I know deep down that I must let him focus on her and their child, but each time we meet we have sex. It is so passionate that I cannot resist him. DEIDRE SAYS: You must be the one to draw a line under this dead-end affair. It's not fair on you or his wife. He will continue with the arrangement as long as it's on offer. There is another lovely guy out there for you but you're not going to find him while you are having secret sex with this man who is never going to leave his wife. He has made that perfectly clear. My support pack, Your Lover Not Free?, will help you think this through. Block all contact with him to help you move on. Yes, it will take a while to get over this affair but the sooner you start, the sooner you will be through the worst of the heartache. Then you'll be ready to broaden your social life, meet new people and find love with someone more suitable. Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. TOO TIMID TO ASK HER OUT DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time I decide to ask this woman I work with out on a date, nerves get the better of me. I end up bottling it at the last moment and then get really annoyed with myself. I am 23 and she is 24. We have worked together at a busy pub at weekends for a few months now. The time seems to pass quickly when we are together, and she always makes time to chat with me after work. I can't decide whether she likes me or not. Sometimes I think she is interested in taking things further but then another part of me says she is just being friendly because she is like that with all the other staff too. I really want to ask her out, but I don't want to risk our friendship if this is something she doesn't want. It would make it awkward to carry on working together. DEIDRE SAYS: When you feel desperate it can affect the way you behave. See her as someone to get to know better as a friend, at least for now. While chatting, mention that you'd like the chance to get to know her better and perhaps suggest seeing a film. See it as friends going out rather than a date. That way you can relax and enjoy spending time with her. If she declines, you won't have damaged your friendship. My support pack, Shyness And Social Anxiety, will help you. WIFE WON'T MIX THINGS UP IN BED DEAR DEIDRE: I'M not asking my wife to act like a porn star, but a bit of variety now and again would stop our sex life being so boring and repetitive. I am 37 and my wife is 35. We have been together for ten years and have two young daughters. Everything is great in our relationship, except when it comes to sex. My wife is always complaining that she is too tired. Even when she does agree to it, there is rarely any foreplay and it is always in the same position. I get the sense she can't wait for it to be over. I bought her a sex toy for her birthday, but it lies in the box unopened. We both work and share childcare. Life is very busy, but I still think there should be time for sex to be a bit more exciting and for us to have fun in bed. What can I do? I can't carry on like this much longer. DEIDRE SAYS: Looking after young children can be a stressful time and puts many relationships under pressure. Pick a quiet moment when you can explain how important intimacy is to you. Start by kissing and cuddling more to bring you physically closer. Most people have one or two favourite positions for sex but sometimes need some fresh ideas. Many positions come naturally through experimenting and discovering what feels good. My support pack, Best Positions For Sex, explains more. HE'S GAY BUT IN TO WOMEN PORN DEAR DEIDRE: MY gay boyfriend is into hardcore porn involving women. While I accept watching porn is normal, it feels like he is betraying me when he watches such extreme stuff and with women. Our sex life is suffering as a result. He is 22 and I am 24. We have been together for almost a year. I love him but know that he has many faults. He lies constantly and his porn habit is now causing a lot of rows. He regularly pleasures himself to female porn and has even admitted that he thinks about having sex with women. I feel so confused and mixed up. I have always identified as gay and I always will. I have previously slept with women, but I have no wish to do so in the future. Now I wonder whether my boyfriend is pretending that I am a woman when we have sex. He tells me he loves me and doesn't want to be bisexual, but I am struggling to believe him. How can I when he behaves like this? I have been researching ways to reduce someone's sex drive. I know it might seem selfish, but I want my boyfriend to only think about me sexually. I don't know where to go from here. DEIDRE SAYS: You cannot change someone else's sexuality or safely reduce their sex drive. Your boyfriend is clearly capable of being attracted to men and women. Many people believe sexuality is fluid – and that it's not someone's sex or gender we fall in love with, but the individual. He can't change who he is but putting him under pressure to make commitments he can't keep will help neither of you. He may be uncertain himself. His lies could reflect that, but whatever reason, he doesn't sound ready to commit to your relationship. Tell him how you feel about your relationship and that you want to know him better. My Bisexual Questions support pack explains more.

Amazon delivery driver dies after horror collision with train at level crossing
The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently under investigation. An Amazon delivery driver has died after their van was hit by a train at a level crossing. British Transport Police said it was called to the railway line in Tonge, near Sittingbourne, Kent, shortly after 12.45pm on Sunday following reports of a train striking a van. Local police, ambulance and fire and rescue services also attended, but the driver died at the scene. Footage shared on social media appeared to show a large fire producing black smoke in a rural area lined with trees, while other images showed helicopters landing on fields next to the railway line. Southeastern Railway, which runs services on the line, said major disruption was expected until the end of the day. Services running between Gillingham and Faversham reopened shortly after 8.30pm. No one else was injured in the incident. An Amazon spokesperson said in a statement: 'This is a terrible incident and our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the delivery driver's family and loved ones during this difficult time. 'We will work with police and the delivery service provider as they investigate.' It is understood the victim was delivering Amazon parcels when the incident happened. The cause of the collision is under investigation. David Davidson, chief operating officer at Southeastern Railway, said: 'A train was involved in a collision with a van at a level crossing near Teynham earlier this afternoon. 'We are working with the emergency services and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) following this incident.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

In a later update, Mr Davidson said: 'We are deeply saddened to confirm that the driver of the road vehicle involved in the collision with a train earlier today has tragically died. 'Our thoughts are with their family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. 'No one else was injured in the incident. We are working hard to reopen the line later this evening and expect to run a full service tomorrow.' Replacement buses are currently running between Gillingham and Faversham and Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea with the line still blocked, while ticket acceptance was in place on other Southeastern high-speed trains, Thameslink and Fast Track buses, Mr Davidson said. Passengers on the train involved in the crash were transferred on to another train and taken to Sittingbourne for onward travel. Kent Police said it was called to a report of the collision at a level crossing in Lower Road, Teynham, at 12.43pm, and that patrols remain at the scene. South East Coast Ambulance Service said crews including its Hazardous Area Response Team attended the scene, and were joined by regional Air Ambulance providers.
