A father-to-be, named as Ben, 29, has fainted in the delivery room at Birmingham Women's Hospital while he was accompanying his girlfriend, Amy, 23, in labour to witness the precious moment.

The process has been captured and Ben accepted media's interview saying he was too nervous to see the situation.

Ben felt calm at the beginning but watching Amy's pain and focus on her contraction made him dramatically collapse to the floor without a sign.

Amy shouted, "he's passed out!" when she saw her partner collapsed.

The couple then described the feelings when knowing Amy's pregnant. Amy said, "He's been extremely emotional, and that is nice to see."

Ben agrees, "It's shocked me, how my emotions changed. You've [Amy] turned me into a right softie - I can't even watch telly without crying now.

"I just feel that I've got to be strong for her, so I need to man up a bit to be fair."

Amy continued to give birth without Ben and their daughter, Amber-Rose has come to the world very soon after.

UK and Norway will mount joint naval patrols to protect undersea cables and hunt Russian submarines

LONDON (AP) — Britain and Norway will mount joint naval patrols to protect undersea cables from Russia, the U.K. said Thursday, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Støre held talks on defense.

The U.K. government says a combined fleet of at least 13 warships will “hunt Russian submarines and protect critical infrastructure in the North Atlantic.”

It follows a 10 billion pound ($13.4 billion) deal struck in August for Norway to buy at least five British-made frigates. Those Norwegian vessels and eight British ships will operate jointly in the seas along NATO’s northern flank.

As part of the agreement, formally signed Thursday in London by the two countries’ defense ministers, the U.K. has agreed to use Norwegian missiles for the Royal Navy’s surface fleet.

Starmer and Støre were scheduled to hold talks at the U.K. prime minister's residence at 10 Downing St. before visiting British and Norwegian personnel at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland, where they will meet aircraft crews that have been tracking Russian vessels. Britain says Russian naval activity around U.K. waters has increased by 30% in the past two years.
