And finally… tip top

Four British citizens planning to jump off a Benidorm skyscraper with parachutes on their backs have been arrested.

Police in the Costa Blanca resort interrupted the illegal base jump, which they suspect was intended to be filmed for YouTube.

The Torre Levante building from which the Brits planned to jump is 33 storeys (120 metres) tall.

The four of them now face fines of up to €300,000 each.
