Preston drew zero 00 with second place. Preston drew zero 0 0 with bolton. 0n the cricket now and englands women have lost their series against australia with the hosts having an unassailable lead in the multiformat series and have regained the famous trekking with two games to the despair. England knew it was win or bust for the ashes hopes, not the moment for one of the most chaotic start you will see. Second ball, Heather Knight was caught behind or was she . The catch seemingly taken in front of the stumps. She was then out again. Confused . England were as they disintegrated, 16 11 and the ashes surely as good as over. But then a recovery thanks to australian butterfingers and a battling half ce ntu ry butterfingers and a battling half century from danni wyatt. 132 at least gave them a chance but it proved a flickr as beth mooney said about despatching them into the syd ney about despatching them into the sydney night. A couple of wickets revived hopes that they ultimately only postponed the inevitable as mooney struck the runs to retain the ashes and they had done it with two games to spare. England might be world champions but in this series they were very much second best. You could see it on the faces of the girls at the end, a lot of emotion around tonight. We are disappointed with how we played today, i thought we had a chance with 130 to be in the game and credit to australia because they played better cricket than as this series. With the mens ashes starting next week, for australian fans are already plenty to cheer. Absolutely spectacular cant wait for next thursday to win it again but its really good to see, a great venue it again but its really good to see, a great venue and the girls are playing such a great standard, its awesome. Its going to be awesome. Go australia. A year in which england scaled the heights of the world cup when ive ended in disappointment. The first triumph of this ashes winter has gone australias way. Englands womens by australias way. Englands womens rugby better bounce back from world cup defeat this to thump canada 795. In cup defeat this to thump canada 79 5. In the first game since the rfu confirmed they will be paid match fees, england were rampant running in13 match fees, england were rampant running in 13 tries.

Fitzpatrick made birdie at the last to go one shot ahead of hatton. He is two ahead ofjustin rose who isjoint third. That is all from me. From all of us, good night. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are charlie wells, deputy snapchat editor at the economist and the Huffington Posts political reporter, kate forrester. Welcome to you both. It was not long ago to have been a reporter on the Huffington Post was pretty out there it was quite new but not now what is a snapchat editor . |j there it was quite new but not now what is a snapchat editor . I write and produce with a small team a wee kly and produce with a small team a weekly edition on snapchats discover platform. The economist has been around for 174 years, snapchat for six and in the past few years they have had a platform where publishers can put their content, it is an invite only ecosystem, and we create video content, repurposed old articles, write new pieces for the platform and we see it as a great way of getting ourjournalists have helped to millions are particularly young people who are consuming news on their phones. Does it bring them to the more traditional forms of the economist . We definitely see this as a long game. It is a nice gateway for showing even people young people who might not be familiar with the economist who we are. It would be great if eventually they wa nt would be great if eventually they want to continue reading on the website or subscribe to the magazine. They always say that were to train children forjobs that dont exist any more and i doubt yours existed . Dont exist any more and i doubt yours existed . Definitely dont exist any more and i doubt yours existed . Definitely not. Yours certainly didnt definitely not it has been such a fascinating experience. It is a testament to the economists willingness to try a new digital platforms. Ijob economists willingness to try a new digital platforms. I job did economists willingness to try a new digital platforms. Ijob did exist when i was a school, lets hope it stays around for a bit longer but you never know thank you for that. I hope you dont mind us having a little diversion. Tomorrows front pages. Starting with. The Financial Times reports the London Stock Exchange group is considering whether to publish a dossier on the behaviour of its chief executive in defence of accusations they forced him to resign. The times says google has made millions of pounds in advertising from videos that exploit Young Children on youtube. It also features prominently a photo of Zimbabwes President Robert Mugabe emerging from house arrest in harare. The i says a tax on takeaway plastic, like food boxes and coffee cups, could be introduced when the government announces its budget next week. The daily mirror reports on a fathers fight to clear his name after he punched an intruder in his home. The telegraph says europe is threatening to withhold britains final rebate payment of five billion euros as part of negotiations over the brext bill. The sun claims an exclusive on the controversy surrounding pornography found on damien greens computer at westminster. It says content is violent and would have been illegal if found a week later. It also says it is unclear who downloaded the material. The daily mail has the story of british explorer benedict allen, who was rescued from a Papua New Guinea jungle after going missing on an expedition. And the guardian says parents who divorce could be denied access to their children if they try to turn one against the other. Three stories connected to the budget which of course is only a matter of days away. Take away plastic to be taxed, this is in lured, things like single use cups this is in the i. Lured, things like single use cups this is in the i. It is such a big part of life, everybody is used to seeing it and it is quite a big change. On paper it might seem quite a big step but if you look at similar measures that have been taken in the past, the 5p tax on plastic bags for example, when that was brought in everybody thought that was going to be a pain and to be honest it has gone off without a hitch. Everybody has that used to it. You take your bags out shopping and it has cut the number of plastic bags being thrown away by a dont know exactly how much but a lot i believe. It is great news for environmental campaigners who are all delighted. But i think itll ta ke all delighted. But i think itll take a bit more than raising the price of a cabal to be a successful budget. I suppose the difference is that whilst you know you are going shopping, you might take a bag with you but if you are going to take away, do you take a plate with you the miz it ties into this interesting idea of nudges which are taking off over the past few years in behavioural economics. Governments will try to set policies that make people make a little change, something manageable. The exciting thing about this is that it could perhaps raise peoples economic dac ecological consciousness. Thinking about the impact of your plastic utensils you might make other changes. I know that these forks are causing a problem, i should probably turn off the lights as well and think about the lights as well and think about the impacts of my consumption. And it is not just landfill, the impacts of my consumption. And it is notjust landfill, we are seeing these videos of divers in the sea and as far as you can look to the horizon there is miles of plastic bottles floating in the ward and killing marine life. It is really depressing and especially with blue planet being on at the moment, everybody is looking at how beautiful the ocean is and how fantastic all this marine life is and it is obviously being choked by tonnes of rubbish. The economist on snapchat actually did an edition on this shameless we did an edition on plastic and fascinatingly, there has been research that there are new forms of life for ming in some of these plastic colonies in the ocean. Forming. It seems we are entering an age in which humans are changing life on the planet significantly. There was the famous experiment of recording in industrial britain moths changing their wing patterns to fit in with city walls. Murder somebody will correct me and tell me i have got my biology one no doubt somebody will correct me. In america you have brown paper bags rather than plastic bags, dont you . You can recycle bad but still the recycling is going to take Energy Resources as well so i think the more people can cut down on this the better. It speaks to this larger problem of the delivery ecosystem in places like london and new york, places like london and new york, places like london and new york, places like china, everybody is getting everything delivered. Governments need to update policies to manage this growing ecosystem. You can buy something quite small and it comes with all that packaging. I ordered something recently, i wont say where from, it eventually came delivered to my home ina sleeping eventually came delivered to my home in a sleeping bag it is awful. There was a story a couple of days ago a woman who had ordered a pair of tights or something and there was about a mild slurp of cardboard packaging that came with it. Its crazy. A miles worth of cardboard packaging. The fttalks about the budget. Hammond plunges extra £5 billion for budget spending. Country is. This is houses those wishing debt which has been reassigned. This is kind ofan which has been reassigned. This is kind of an accounting benefit which the government has on its hands right now. The hope is that this budget will not be used for political gain but actually to set good growth orientated policy. We all know the uk is entering a moment of uncertainty. If i remember correctly unemployment was up for the first time in a while so one would hope the government would use this money to encourage growth instead of trying to make up for losses. But we still need extra housing which is where the thinking is this money might be spent. To encourage many more houses to be built and that would steal a march on what labour have been criticising the tories for. It would. I think Phillip Hammond is in a bit of a bind. He is under pressure from some
