BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, A Changed Landscape

Insights into Spain's upcoming election, Trump mania, tourism in Peru and surviving space

Insights into Spain's upcoming election, Trump mania among US Republicans, a new airport to serve Machu Picchu in Peru and the science of surviving longterm space travel

How best to deal with situations where the conventional wisdom no longer holds? Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from around the world with insights from: Guy Hedgecoe - analysing Spain's newly fragmented political panorama, 40 years after the death of former dictator Francisco Franco and days before a general election in which several new populist parties will contend for the first time; Robert Hodierne, whose home base near Richmond, Virginia gives him plenty of opportunity to hear from bedrock Republican voters about what they're looking for in a US Presidential candidate - and why many of them are still keen on Donald Trump; Sally Howard, high in the plains of the Peruvian Andes, learning how to "dance like a crazy frog" in a village of the indigenous Corcor people and hearing how a new airport to serve Machu Picchu might change their lives; and Richard Hollingham, who visits an otherworldly science laboratory in Germany: Envirohab, a place to investigate the health effects of long-term space travel. But why don't any of the doors have handles?
