As everton interim boss. This is everton football club, its all about results, we expect results. We have said that time and time again. This club, and ourfans can we expect a certain level of performance, and we certainly got that, with a couple of wins quickly. Not me, but for the club, and at the end of the day, the club is most important. Englands 284 8 was their highest ever 0di total against australia, and although the hosts started their reply well, they lost crucial wickets late on. Despite hitting a boundary to finish, australia fell 20 runs short of their target. And with australia only needing eight points in the series to retain the ashes, this win keeps englands hopes alive heading into the test match, and t20 matches to come. Meanwhile, the mens team have arrived in australia ready for their ashes series which begins next month. Captainjoe root has been talking up their chances, pointing to the strength they have in the squad, with the likes of alastair cook, James Anderson and stuart broad. Weve got three of englandss best all time players in terms of runs. Weve got some guys who have really stood up over the last couple of years, andl stood up over the last couple of years, and i think we are a different site of the last time we came here. We are a site that has shown a lot of character over the la st shown a lot of character over the last 12, 18 months. In the Rugby League World cup scotland have lost their opening match against tonga. The scots trailed 38 0 at half time but did manage to at least get on the score board with this try from danny addy. But the match ended 50 4 to tonga at full time. Caroline wozniacki has won the end of season world tour finals in singapore after a straight sets win over Venus Williams this afternoon. After the dane took the first set, she stepped on the gas, breaking in the opening game and cruising into a 5 0 lead, but after williams came back to win four games on the bounce, wozniacki finally got over the line in the next game, breaking williams to lift the title. Justin rose has won the World Championships in shanghai his first title since claiming a gold medal at the rio 0lympics last year. World number one dustinjohnson had been leading by six shots and was eight clear of rose after three rounds. But rose shot a five under par 67, which included eight birdies and three bogeys, to finish on 14 under. Thats all the sport for now. Now on bbc news, its time for the travel show. This week on the travel show, im in the far north of sweden to visit a city on the move, literally, in one of the worlds biggest ever urban transformations. Well, the mine is our heart. We wouldnt be here without a mine. Rajan heads to croatias capital, zagreb, to take a look around some of the citys most exclusive addresses. For ten days of the year, the doors of these architectural secrets are flung open to the public so that even commoners like me can go in and snoop around. And lucy heads to the south downs in the uk to road test the latest in travel tech. Im not 100 convinced. I think hardened hikers. Beginners . And we stop off in bermuda for the latest in our we start this week in swedish lapland and the town of kiruna, some 1,300 miles north of the capital, stockholm. Its the jumping off point for tourists heading further into lapland to see the Northern Lights in winter and the midnight sun in the summer. But what put the area on the map in the late 19th century was the discovery of iron ore, the most widely used metal on earth. We just arrived at the largest underground iron ore mine in the world. The stats for this place are staggering. It produces enough iron ore to build 40,000 cars every day. Thats the equivalent of six eiffel towers. And right now were 540 metres below zero point. I can kind of feel my ears starting to pop. This is the visitors centre, so im going to take a look around. Hello hello. What have you got for me . The disused part of the mine has become a tourist attraction, giving visitors an insight into how the mine has evolved and expanded over the last century. Todays modern machinery allows miners to blast to incredibly deep levels. Today, we are somewhere down there, at 1,365 metres. Nearly a mile. Nearly a mile underground yes. Thats astonishing. So, ade, i want to show you how the first miners lived because, when they came here in 1898, we didnt have any houses for them, so they had to build houses with whatever they could find in the forest. And it was cold and it was draughty. So how many people would live in this place . Well, big families. They could have four, five, six kids and then live in this space. So youd have seven people in the family and sometimes they would take in other people as well . Yes. The environment was harsh for those entering this new life. Could you imagine living in a house like this with temperatures dropping to 30 degrees . No way of course it was. It was cold, it was draughty and, for the small kids, well, some of them didnt survive this coldness. These days the mine employs 2,300 people and there are 800 working underground, still in quite extreme conditions. Now we are going into the darkness. So were still at 540 metres here . Yes, we are. And, well, this is our common deck in the darkness, because the tunnels, its dark, where the machines are working. It seems like theres an interdependency between the mine and the people in the city. Well, the mine is our heart. We wouldnt be here without a mine. Kiruna today its a bustling town, but the continuing expansion of the mine has destabilised the ground above it to the point where it will eventually sink into a chasm. So the Mining Company have come up with a radical solution. Theyre going to move the town. Is the iron ore mine. In that direction is where the sinking began. You can see how the earth has just started to collapse and whats going to happen is eventually it will spread over there and everything you can see in that direction, all the houses, will collapse into that sink hole and thats why they have to relocate the whole of kiruna. Its not the first time a city or town has been moved, but this is most certainly the biggest operation of its kind and im not sure how theyre going to do it. In parts of the city, the bulldozers have already moved in and over the next two decades large areas of the town will also be demolished. We cant build a whole restaurant, we cant put too much money here now because in ten years time its going to be gone. And buildings that are too important to demolish are being uprooted whole and transported a few miles down the road. Its a pricey operation. The cost of the move is estimated at 2 billion. We are approximately 4. 5 kilometres from the Old City Centre and what you see behind us is the brand new town hall. So youre going to move everyone and the buildings from the city centre to here . Not exactly everything. About 6,000 people will be moving, because their houses and their apartments will be affected by the zone. Ive moved house three times. Its complicated. I cant imagine what it must be like to move a whole town or city and thousands of people. Its an incredible project, but we will move approximately 21 buildings that have cultural value, such as old wooden houses, et cetera. Do you believe this will be a better city once it has moved here . Because there are so many functions that will be brand new. The hospital, town hall, schools, et cetera. So im very optimistic about it and i also like this location. But some of the buildings, like this gothic style church, are too large to transport. Its going to be taken down bit by bit and rebuilt in the new location. Its been central to the community for generations. I was that little because i was baptised here and then the communion was here in kiruna church. When i was going to get married i was here too. And of course i want to put that further onto my kids. I think its the most beautiful building in the world and just for a couple to walk this aisle, and everybody is looking at you, and you go upstairs and you see this beautiful picture, thats you cant even describe the feeling you get. And whilst it will be spared the wrecking ball, there are still mixed feelings about the changes. I would like to move all the Old Buildings because they are so nice and they are old, they are almost 100 years old, and this is our history. And in the future, maybe people will come to kiruna not for the mines but to visit the town that moved. Next up on the travel show, we had to bermuda, where fish chowder is a soup considered the National Dish of the country, in our latest global gourmet. My name is takemore mukazika. Im a chef de cuisine at hamilton princess and beach club in bermuda. 0k, today im going to make bermuda fish chowder, a very famous local dish. It originated during the 17th century, with the first settlers in bermuda. At that time, there was not a lot of refrigeration or any way of keeping food fresh for a long time, so to preserve their fish that they used to bring on the island they had to use rum and sherry peppers to make fish chowder. There are quite a few vegetables that go into the chowder. Peppers, some carrots, some ginger and dont forget to put celery. And they have to be all finely chopped. So basically you have to have onion, garlic. The best onion to use is the bermuda red onion, which is locally produced and sweeter than regular white onion. You start by sauteing all of the vegetables you have. The onion first until it is translucent, then add all of the other vegetables. Then you add your rum. So you need to cook off the alcohol. The rum just puts the flavour in the fish dish. Let it all cook together. The longer you cook it, the better it is. I present to you a perfect bermuda fish chowder. This is delicious still to come on the travel show, we check out the latest in travel gadgets and navigation aids. My map is telling me ive gone a little bit off east but im plus, rajan heads to croatia where for just ten days of the year its capital opens its doors to some of the most exclusive venues. A real person actually lives here . A real person actually lives here. And they let us just come in an deep lounge about for ten days in a row . So stay with us for that. The travel show. Your essential guide, wherever youre heading. This is the south downs, the uks Newest National park. More than 200 square miles of hills crisscrossed with hiking trails and the Perfect Place to try out some tech. By way of an experiment, i have agreed to be blindfolded and driven to a random spot from where i will find my way back to civilisation using only gadgets i have been given. What is in the bag . In there, we have some stuff that will hopefully get you back to where we have come from safely. Also something in there so that if it takes a bit longer or things dont go according to plan, just to make your life a bit more comfortable. This is your stop. This is where i leave you. Blindfold off. Im heading back to the royal oak, about five minutes for me. It will be about one hour on foot for you. Just one thing. You will find you wont have phone signal so you really are on your own. First up, the tomtom adventurer a gps watch with a music player, heart monitor and all sorts of features. It is the navigation i am particularly interested in. Im presented with a rather basic version of a map. It gives me my trail in all of its entirety. As you can see, the arrow on the map, on the overview version, tells me that way. Yeah. Thats the way. Im a bit confused because there is a trail that way. Maybe if i walk down the trail and then gear to the right. My map is telling me i have gone a little bit off piste. Im still near the trail. For someone who uses things like google maps or waze, it is not immediately obvious way to go. Im not going to be too harsh on the adventurer because im not a seasoned hiker but the user interface just wasnt as intuitive as i would have liked and even finding the map that had downloaded for me, took me a while to find. 0ne too many buttons taps. It does more than this, it has a built in heart monitor, counts your steps, calories, altitude. I personally am not 100 convinced. Hardened hikers. Beginners. So a little break. Time to use the tech ben stowed away in here for my comfort. The handpresso outdoor set comes with a pump, cups and flask for your hot water. Im not the biggest fan of espressos but ben doesnt need to know that. Strong. Clears throat. Carrying around a the flask. Pretty handy and easy to use once you have worked out what to do. All in all, id say massive thumbs up. Espresso without a power socket. Handy. I believe bens downloaded something i need on this phone. Viewranger is an app available on ios and android on which you can download any of hundreds of thousands of detailed maps for pretty much anywhere in the world. The skyline feature is quite cool. If you point your camera in any direction, it will label it for you. It could be points of interest. Were not particularly in mountainous environments but it will mountains as well. Youre looking at a Navigation App with all the bells and whistles. I like the fact that if there is no wi fi or you are out of phone signal you can rely on your phones gps. 0ne caveat is that the maps are expensive. It cost us £24 for this hike. That is a lot of money. There you are i just saw you look at your watch. You know i probably got a bit more than a bit lost at some point. I will always rely on Non Technology bits, a map and compass, but usually well take technology because if it works well, it makes life easier. I think i deserve a drink. I think you do as well for waiting for me. I think i probably owe you one. Lets go next, rajans in croatias capital zagreb with an invite to some of the countrys most incredible homes. On a hill overlooking zagreb is the historic neighbourhood of gradec. It is the oldest district in the city, filled with baroque palaces and courtyards that were built when croatia are mostly off limits. But for ten days of the year, the doors of these architectural secrets are flung open to the public so that even commoners like me can go in and snoop around. This is the dvorista, or courtyard festival, where tourists and locals can see inside the citys walled palaces. Slavica it is one of the organisers. Tell me about this particular place. Where are we now . Were in a palace called palace erdody draskovic. There used to be croatian counts, famous ones, and this was built in the 18th century. First for count erdody, and then later for count draskovic, rebuilt in the 19th century. It was actually a palace where they lived until 1947 when this building became the state archive of zagreb and this is where the most Important Documents of zagreb are kept. Slavica takes me on a tour through the narrow streets and tells me why she started the project. This year, seven of the gated buildings were open to the public. Walking through the old town which is residential area, it is usually quiet and not a lot of people up here. Somehow you know there are these courtyards behind but you dont get a chance to see them as a regular person. This is how the idea started. We wanted to open them and wanted ourselves even to feel the atmosphere, reinterpret some of the history and give some urban taste to it and make it accessible for all of our citizens and tourists. Some of the courtyards are now used as state offices but others, like this one, are still private residences. As you say, a real person actually live here . A real person actually lives here. And they let people come in and lounge about for ten days ina row . Yes, they like us. Some of them actually come and have a drink with us in the evening. There is a famous actress who lives here. This person i think is on vacation, so it depends, but yeah, they actually live here. By night, all of the squares are transformed into performance spaces. There are seven concerts. Notjust croatian music, its french, latin, pop, r b and classical. We have different styles. It is a surreal to see these spaces which were once home to 17th century counts and nobles, packed today with people partying. It is the atmosphere that makes the festival unique. This festival is not just about buildings. Its notjust about nice buildings. No, definitely. Its about emotion. We want here to make new love, to make new friendships. The main point is ok, we need to go to someones courtyard. Actually, you come to his home. Everyone who visit courtyards say, ok, this is special. I will remember for the rest of my life. Sadly, that is it your lot for this week. Make sure you join us next week when. Christa is in paris looking at how the city is seeking to reverse falling tourism numbers by reassuring visitors it is a safe place to visit. The most high profile project is here at the iconic eiffel tower. Access to the bottom is restricted currently by these pretty ugly temporary barriers but the city has just begun construction on a series of 2. 5 metre high glass walls to protect tourists at the site. That his next week but keep up with us on the road in real time by following us on social media. For now, from me, ade adepitan and all all of the travel show team, here in swedish lapland, its goodbye. Haider, very good afternoon to you. Things are turning cooler and fresher today.
