Dan Walker had been invited to go wild swimming with his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, but had to decline - and Sara Davies wasn't accepting his excuse.The sheepish BBC Breakfast star attempted to explain away the situation on his Instagram Stories.Talking during a special Q&A session on social media, he was quizzed on whether he'd be willing to brave the water."Would you ever go wild-swimming like the Strictly tour lot?" the question read."I was going to, actually, when we were in Sheffield," Dan recalled, referencing his hometown."I was invited down by the Reverend Kate Botley and Sara - but I just couldn't get back from work in time."It looked like fun, and I'd love to have a go."However, he added of his ill-preparedness: "Appropriate footwear always essential when wild swimming, I think!"If the luxurious-looking work shoes he has posted on Instagram to show off his shoe-sock combinations are anything to go by, they would have been nowhere near casual enough for a sporty swimming trip.However, he also reposted Sara's feisty assessment of the situation, where she'd written: "Yeah we invited him and he totally flaked on us."This excuse about not getting back from work on time is total BS - he chickened out!" she added, using a chicken emoji to punctuate her point.Dan appeared to own up to his antics, adding a GIF which read: "GUILTY."However, in previous Q&A footage from yesterday, Dan took the moment to present himself as courageous.He told fans: "The best thing about being a journalist is the opportunity to be a sword for those without weapons and a shield for those who can't defend themselves."However, his job wasn't always deeply serious, as he demonstrated when he revealed one of his embarrassing moments in the

Kim Jong-un has visited a munitions factory producing a "major weapon system" after North Korea conducted more weapons tests and unveiled their latest missiles.The rogue leader has celebrated "leaping progress in producing major weapons" for the role it plays in modernising the country's armed forces.One of the country's latest missiles includes an upgraded long-range cruise missile.Tensions remain rampant after the country carried out a series of seven weapons tests already in 2022, already surpassing the total amount of missiles it launched last year.This has been met with significant condemnation from international countries with the US pushing for new and imposed sanctions.An update has now been carried out on the long-range cruise missile system that was tested on Tuesday. North Korean state media have said that Kim didn't attend the tests for these missiles, but during a visit to the munitions factory he celebrated "leaping progress in producing major weapons".Kim Jong-un said: "The factory holds a very important position and duty in modernising the country's armed forces and realising the national defence development strategy."State media did not specify the weapons or the factory's location.It was reported last week that North Korea would strengthen its defenses against the US and consider resuming "all temporally-suspended activities".Kim Jong-un called for "an all-out drive" to produce "powerful, cutting-edge arms" at the munitions factory.His workers praised his commitment to "smashing ...

Kim Jong-un takes no chances when he goes to the loo as he apparently takes his own toilet with him wherever he goes. Keen to prevent potential rivals finding out about his state of health, the North Korean dictator makes it a strict rule only to use his own toilet, even travelling with a portable potty to prevent his poo falling into the wrong hands.It would be “unthinkable” for the leader to use a regular public loo, says an anonymous North Korean source.The prince of Pyongyang’s personal Portaloo is heavily guarded, and anyone caught using it without permission risks a death sentence, according to reports.The portable toilet is hidden in one of the cars in Kim’s official motorcade, and travels with him everywhere he goes.“The restrooms are not only in Kim Jong-un's personal train but whatever small or midsize cars he is travelling with and even in special vehicles that are designed for mountainous terrain or snow," a source said.“There are multiple vehicles within the convoy so that people cannot tell which one he is in, and there is a separate car that acts as his restroom.”Having a special loo set aside for VIPs isn’t so unusual.

North Korea has threatened to scrap its self-imposed ban on testing long-range missiles and nuclear weapons after tensions mounted with America once again.The dictatorship lashed out at American "military threats" and said the country had reached a "danger line".Leader Kim Jong-un met with powerful North Korean figureheads to discuss potential countermeasures to American hostility, North Korean state media has reported.The KCNA news agency said: "The hostile policy and military threats of the United States have reached a danger line that cannot be overlooked any more despite our sincere efforts for maintaining the general tide for the relaxation of tensions".The policymaking committee are said to have examined whether they should restart "all temporally-suspended activities" and had a rethink of "trust-building measures that we took on our own initiative".A rethink from the North Korean dictator comes after President Joe Biden's administration announced fresh sanctions on six North Koreans involved in the regime's missile plans.The six were linked to North Korean weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programmes.New sanctions followed a series of missile tests by North Korea, including two tests of what Pyongyang claimed to be a hypersonic missile.North Korea has not tested its nuclear weapons or its long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) since 2017, but tests for short-range missiles began in 2019.The short-range tests began shortly after denuclearisastion talks broke down with the US and Donald Trump's administration at a failed summit.Professor Yang Moo-jin of the University of North Korean Studies said the KCNA report was "quite disturbing" as North Korea appeared to be gearing up to "cross

North Korea, thought to be a pet project of the country's leader Kim Jong-un, is home to several animals with an array of bizarre talents ranging from the crazy to the downright cruel.The zoo is located in the country's capital of Pyongyang and has long been slammed by animal rights activists.In 2016, Kim Jong-un ordered that it be renovated in a bid to modernise the rogue nation's attractions.Reportedly, one of the zoo's more wacky exhibits is a parrot that can recite an ode to Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-un's grandfather, who ruled North Korea until 1994.They are also said to have trained dogs to do arithmetic using abacuses, as well as monkeys able to shoot basketballs into hoops.The darker side of the zoo is highlighted by 25-year-old chimp Azalea, who has been trained to smoke 40 cigarettes a day to entertain visitors. The chimp is reportedly encouraged by its trainer to spark up using a lighter or an already lit cig, and has also been taught a dance.
