2 arrests in Spain.

Mary Nightingale there for ITV news, must be pot luck she is there, unless she was sent to do a special report. You can be sure she'll be live at 10.30 if things develop.

Wishful thinking...An Italian man and Portuguese woman.
Scotland Today also had this story as Breaking News tonight.
