An entire church is being moved across a city so slowly it will take two days
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page How do you move one of Sweden's most beloved wooden churches down the road? With a little bit of engineering, a lot of prayer – and some Eurovision contestants for good luck. The Kiruna Church – called Kiruna Kyrka in Swedish – and its belfry are being moved this week along a three-mile route to a new city centre as part of the town's relocation. The world's largest underground iron-ore mine is threatening to swallow the town, meaning the church and the rest of the town need to be moved. This week, thousands of visitors have descended upon Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost town, 124 miles above the Arctic Circle. It's home to roughly 23,000 people, including members of the Sami Indigenous people, spread over nearly 7,528 square feet. Lena Tjarnberg, the church's vicar, kicked off the move with a blessing on Tuesday morning. The transfer has been in the works since 2004 (Picture: Getty) The entire town is under threat from the iron mine (Picture: Getty) This week's move has turned into a two-day, highly choreographed media spectacle, run by LKAB, the state-owned mining company, and featuring an appearance by Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf. Musical performances will include a set from KAJ, Sweden's 2025 Eurovision entry, who had been the bookies' favourite to win this year's contest. Known for both the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights, Kiruna and the surrounding area are a major draw year-round for visitors to Swedish Lapland. But not everyone is thrilled about LKAB's extravaganza. Lars-Marcus Kuhmunen, chairman of one of the Sami reindeer herding organisations in Kiruna, said LKAB's plans for a new mine could threaten reindeer migration routes and imperil the livelihood of herders in the area. But the move of Kiruna's town centre, including the church, has been in the works since 2004. Concerns about local wildlife have been raised (Picture: AFP) As the mine expanded deeper underground, residents began seeing cracks in buildings and roads. To prevent Kiruna from being swallowed up, officials began moving buildings to a new downtown at a safe distance from the mine. So far, 25 buildings have been lifted up and wheeled east to safer land – sixteen, including the church, still remain. The church is 131 feet wide and weighs 741 tonnes, meaning engineers had to widen a road and dismantle an entire viaduct to move the massive building. A driver is steering the church to its new location, which it will reach on Wednesday, at just 0.5 to 1.5 km per hour.

Take a Ted Lasso-inspired tour of Kansas City as filming locations for season 4 are revealed
Filming of the highly anticipated fourth season of comedy-drama Ted Lasso is underway in Kansas City, Missouri. And it looks like the Midwestern destination will feature heavily in the Apple TV+ series, which sees KC native Jason Sudeikis playing a small-time American football coach hired to manage English soccer team AFC Richmond. A teaser clip of a Kansas City restaurant scene was posted to Instagram by Apple TV+ and the cast and crew have been spotted in several other locations around the city. Here, we reveal how you can follow in their footsteps with a breakdown of the key filming spots used so far. The Plaza Several scenes have already been filmed at the Country Club Plaza, Kansas City's historical downtown retail area, which features 15 city blocks of Spanish-inspired architecture, dozens of fountains and the chance to shop trendy designer brands and dine at popular restaurants. Season 4 reportedly sees Ted coaching a women's football team and during filming at The Plaza, Sudeikis was seen wearing a jacket sporting the branding for the Kansas City Current team, the first National Women's Soccer League team to sell out all of its home games. Gates Bar-B-Q There are five Gates Bar-B-Q restaurants across the Kansas City metropolitan area, but it was the Main Street branch that will be seen on screen in Season 4. Apple TV+ posted to Instagram a teaser scene filmed at the eatery, which is famed for its signature sauce and the Kansas City specialty 'burnt ends' – flavorful, caramelised pieces of meat from the point end of the brisket. CPKC Stadium Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, have been spotted filming at the CPKC, home of the Kansas City Current. The CPKC opened in March 2024 as the world's first privately financed stadium purpose-built exclusively for a professional women's football team.. 18th & Vine District The historic jazz district is one of Kansas City's must-sees and home to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, where the crew spent a whole day filming. The compelling museum preserves and celebrates the rich history of African American baseball and its impact on the social advancement of America. Visitors can peruse hundreds of photographs, artifacts and several film exhibits.

Jennifer Aniston sizzles as sexy cougar with new toyboy romance in first Morning Show season 4 trailer
Jennifer Aniston is turning up the heat in the sizzling new trailer for The Morning Show — and this time, she's fully embracing her cougar era. The Friends legend, 56, is back as powerhouse anchor Alex Levy in season four of the Apple TV+ hit, where chaos erupts at the newly merged network — and Alex finds herself tangled in a scandalous fling. In one standout moment, Aniston's character shares an intimate evening with younger right-wing podcaster Brodie (Boyd Holbrook). He tenderly cradles her face across a candlelit dinner table as the two lean in for a kiss. Their chemistry doesn't come out of nowhere — the trailer also shows the pair locked in a fiery office hallway exchange, dripping with sexual tension. But Alex's romance is just the beginning, as the explosive trailer teases the fallout from the messy merger nearly two years after the season three finale. In one standout moment, Aniston's character Alex Levy shares an intimate evening with younger right-wing podcaster Brodie (Boyd Holbrook) Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and Jon Hamm are all back, and Witherspoon's Bradley Jackson sets the tone from the jump, declaring, 'I'm a firm believer in second chances.' And that's exactly what she's after — a shot at making things 'right' inside the newly rebranded UBN (formerly UBA). 'This is a reset,' Aniston's Levy insists, as she poses on the cover of a glossy spread alongside Grace Lee's Stella Bak and Marion Cotillard's Celine Dumont. The headline across the cover drives the tension home: 'New Paradigm or Glass Cliff? UBN's New Leadership Talk Mergers, Streaming and the Future of News.' 'A different company, a different culture,' Alex continues. 'We promised real change to push the stories we cared about,' adds Stella, while Crudup's slippery CEO Cory Ellison is shown wandering the halls, his expression clouded with doubt. According to Apple's official synopsis, the new season jumps 'almost two years after the events of season three.' It teases a newsroom in turmoil: 'With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America. 'In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories and corporate cover-ups — who can you trust? And how can you know what's actually real?' Season 4 picks up in the spring of 2024, nearly two years after the chaos of Season 3 — from the explosive merger to Bradley's reckoning over deleting footage of her brother Hal (Joe Tippett) at the January 6 Capitol insurrection. This time, the drama dives headfirst into UBN's shifting leadership under Alex, Stella (Greta Lee), and Marion Cotillard's Celine Dumont, as well as the rise of artificial intelligence, the threat of deepfakes, and the ever-fractured line between truth and trust in journalism. 'People need to feel that UBN is gonna have it first, and they're gonna have it right,' Karen Pittman's Mia Jordan declares in a boardroom showdown, only for Celine to dismiss it as 'a nice idea' but 'not sexy.' Elsewhere, Levy pleads with Mark Duplass' Charlie Chip Black after uncovering disturbing environmental headlines, warning, 'UBA was involved in a cover-up.' Romantic sparks fly as Aaron Pierre's newcomer Miles appears entangled with both Celine and Stella. The tension builds when Mia confronts Alex directly: 'You pitched UBN as a feminist utopia where women lift each other up. I know what I deserve, and it's my time now.' Alex shoots back, 'So what is that some kind of a threat?' And that's exactly what she's after — a shot at making things 'right' inside the newly rebranded UBN (formerly UBA) Season 4 picks up in the spring of 2024, nearly two years after the chaos of Season 3 — from the explosive merger to Bradley's reckoning over deleting footage of her brother Hal (Joe Tippett) at the January 6 Capitol insurrection Family drama adds another layer, with Jeremy Irons stepping in as Alex's father, pointedly asking, 'Do you realize what you've done?' Hamm's Marks urges Alex to 'dig' and 'find out where the bodies are buried,' just as FBI agents storm the halls of UBN. 'The truth is incendiary,' Mia warns in the trailer's closing moments. 'And it's under attack.' The Emmy-winning drama returns Sept. 17 on Apple TV+, rolling out one new episode each week through Nov. 19, for a total of 10 episodes.
