'Spooked' dog rescued after getting stuck in pipe

A dog had to be rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in an underground pipe.

It is thought Tango, an English pointer, became spooked by something while walking with his owner in Epping Forest on Saturday morning.

Essex Fire and Rescue Service crews used "chimney rods, positive reinforcement, and a carefully planned approach to encourage him out" of the pipe, which was running under a footpath.

He was returned safe and unharmed to his grateful owner.

Video shot by the Yurok Tribe show that hundreds of salmon have made it to tributaries between the former Iron Gate and Copco dams, a hopeful sign for the newly freed waterway.

MANILA (Reuters) -Philippine authorities issued an urgent appeal on Saturday for residents in low-lying areas and coastal towns to move to safety as super typhoon Man-Yi gained strength on its approach towards the country's main Luzon island. Man-Yi, the sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in a month, intensified with maximum sustained winds reaching 195 kph (121 mph) and gusts up to 240 kph, according to state weather agency PAGASA. This prompted it to raise its storm alert to its highest level for the provinces of Catanduanes and Camarines Sur in the central Bicol region.
