Python / XML closing tag error - unable to parse

the following code gives me the python error 'failed to parse' addon.xml:

(I've used an online checker and it says "error on line 33 at column 15: Opening and ending tag mismatch: description line 0 and extension" - which is the very end of the /extension end tag at the end of the document).

Any advice would be appreciated. This worked yesterday and I have no idea why it's not working at all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="plugin.audio.criminalpodcast" name="Criminal Podcast" version="1.1.0" provider-name="leopheard">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>

<import addon="script.module.beautifulsoup4" version="4.3.1"/>
<import addon="script.module.requests" version="1.1.0"/>
<import addon="script.module.routing" version="0.2.0"/>   </requires>

Most of the time a "failed to parse" error msg is due to the XML File itself. Check you're XML File for the correct formatting. I once forgot the root tag and had the same error message.

Your "XML" file is not well-formed, so it cannot be parsed. Find out how it was created, correct the process so the problem does not occur again, and then regenerate the file.

Files that are vaguely XML-like but not well-formed are pretty well useless. Repair is sometimes possible if the errors are very systematic, but that doesn't appear to the the case here.
