Mexico's attorney general says intercepted communications between Guzman's lawyers and "actresses and producers" hoping to make a biopic helped them find Guzman. Penn says he did not bring his personal phone with him when he went to Mexico to meet with Guzman. He says he used burner phones and changed numbers every day.

Fish farming is contentious, with fishermen and environmentalists warning it could harm the marine environment.
