Wind postpones record skydive bid

Plans for skydiver Felix Baumgartner to make a record 23-mile freefall jump have been put on hold due to adverse winds, but his team is hopeful he will be able to go ahead.

Winds on the ground into the south-eastern New Mexico desert are still, but are in the high teens at about 700 feet, which is about the height of the top of the balloon that will lift him to altitude.
