Spain's former employment and social security minister Eduardo Zaplana has been arrested for alleged money laundering and misuse of public funds: Guy Hedgecoe is in Madrid with the latest. Turkish journalist Erol 脰ndero臒lu gives us an insight into working in his profession in Turkey. Two years ago he was charged with spreading "terrorist propaganda" in Turkey for his work editing a Kurdish daily newspaper (his trial continues). Lucy Sheriff reports from Bogot谩 on Colombians' concerns with the economy in the run up to Sunday's presidential election. Lord Jim O'Neill authored a report for the UK government into antimicrobial resistance in 2016. He tells us what progress has been made since. And will a new, $21m roller coaster bring more crowds to Blackpool's famous Pleasure Beach in the north west of England?
