News article; Dean Potter dies following BASE jump death

Dean Potter was an extreme sportsman who died with a friend in an illegal BASE jump in Yosemite National Park. I wasn't sure of the word BASE and its meaning so I searched for the definition. BASE stands for Building, Antenna, Span and Earth. BASE jumpers will leap from any and all of these four fixed objects with parachutes designed specifically for rapid deployment.

 

Potter was well known for his dangerous bare-hand climbs up some of the worlds most terrifying cliffs and walls, usually without the use of ropes to assist and be safe. Previously Potter had stated that his intentions had been to "get people out of their cars and experience the wild with all their senses".

This article titled 'Election 2015: Sturgeon says Cameron must go further on devolution' is about how Nicola Sturgeon wants a good deal on fiscal autonomy. Personally I am not very into politics so don't really understand it but the link above explains more about it.

This is an article that I find more interesting. The awards, hosted by Graham Norton, are being held at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, and will be shown on BBC One from 20:00 BST. Broadcaster and critic Clive James will be honoured at the event, as will Channel 4 News journalist Jon Snow. The article features information of different celebrities arriving at the awards show. The red carpet pictures show their expensive and glamorous outfits.
