Available for 29 days

US convicted murderer Christa Pike is in hospital and being given "life-saving measures" after Tennessee authorities failed in their attempt to execute her by lethal injection. The case of Pike, whose attempted execution had already been the subject of a high-profile legal battle, has raised a number of questions. We speak to our correspondent to find out what happened. We continue our series on the global housing crisis, after the eviction of an 87 year old in Spain sparked outrage. Today we speak to landlords around the world to hear their views.
