and higher standards of living. construction was a particular bright spot as building sites like this one in lancashire bounce back from a frozen wet start to the year. we at at 2.1% within construction so for me it feels very exciting and hopefully, it continues. had been in several recessions now it has been good at times, so it feels very, very exciting. england's runs the semifinals in the football world cup boosted spending on eating and drinking during july and although august and september were flat, it was enough to secure strong economic performance. thank you. quite a bit to toast in today's figures. these are the strongest economic numbers since the end of 2016 and that is helpful because theyjust spent it in the recent budget on the nhs and tax cuts that was not all good news, once again, business investment fell shortly. that is the longest consecutive negative streak seen since the global financial crisis.

risks are posted economy with brexit around the corner. clearly, business investment is lower than we would like to be, that is because businesses are waiting for clarity about our future relationship the european union. as soon as we can give business clarity about the future relationship, the sooner businesses will start investing again, creating morejobs in our economies stop right here on, it might well depend on government's ability to hammer out a brexit deal thatis ability to hammer out a brexit deal that is this feels it can get behind. -- that business. now on bbc news, the travel show. coming up and this week's programme. . . coming up and this week's programme... diving into the northernmost reaches of the british isles. scapa flow has to be up there with the top diving destinations in the world. providing an ancient roman recipe. we follow the moon.

and it is the fashion revolution taking india by storm. the game is to have something sartorial and feminine. hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from england's lake district, which is beautiful all year round, even in november. it is here that you will find england's highest mountain and a series of monuments that were erected at the end of the first world war to honour those who died in that terrible conflict. europe and the wider world this weekend,
5:35 am
people will be marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the great war, when the guns finally fell silent. 0ne element of the conflict thatis silent. 0ne element of the conflict that is often overlooked is the war at sea but if you travel to the far north of scotland, you can now have a deep dive into one of the most famous chapters of that story. my my name's emily. i am the skipper of one of the dive boats and scapa flow. what we are really interested in is the first world war german naval fleet that was scuttled in scapa naval fleet that was scuttled in sca pa flow naval fleet that was scuttled in scapa flow on june naval fleet that was scuttled in scapa flow onjune one, 1919. scapa flow itself is the big bit of water surrounded by an island of 0rkney and it was strategically best for oui’ and it was strategically best for our british naval fleet in both world war i and world war two, and
5:36 am
also big enough to put the german navy when it was interned after the armistice at the end of november, 1918. just before the treaty of versailles was signed, which officially ended world war i, the german fleet was scuttled. it was the last act of war opened to admiral ludwig von reuter and essentially what he did was made sure that nobody could have his feet. —— fleet. 0k, ok, let's have a look at what she looks like underwater. this is the deepest part of the german fleet here. using digital imagery to help break down the chips to my divers before they get in the water really helps them have more of a mental image of what they are trying to see before they see it. so this scan image was done by a team at dundee
5:37 am
university, headed up professor chris rolland. and professor chris rolland from the university of dundee and i run 3—d visualisation research lab, particularly interested in historic shipwrecks. i am involved with a small team who are looking at winning images of the shipwrecks of the german fleet at the general public, so then people who cannot dive or do not get the opportunity to dive on them will actually see what is there and there is this huge legacy from world war i. is this huge legacy from world war i, it isjust under the waves here. myself and professor carey, we will dive asa myself and professor carey, we will dive as a team. i will carry about 60,000 lumens of light, so that is a lot of light and he will carry his camera with a lot of extra lighting and between the two of us, we basically record high resolution video around the shipwrecks and the features of the shipwrecks. —— lumens. when we bring that to the surface, we can then use software to produce 3—d images from those
5:38 am
images. the german fleet are in quite silty conditions, so when you first get in the water and you're going down this line your diving and something that could be 145 metres long but the mystery of it, you discover in ten metre chunks, 15 metre chunks. that is something that some people find a little bit spooky but i find really exciting. so this ship, one of four applause class battleships built for the first world war german navy, it is 30 metres wide, and if you picked up and put on the bathroom scales, displacement as around about 26,000 tons. they are the vanguard of germany's navy during that war, and to have three of them here is really, is unique. direct that we
5:39 am
we re really, is unique. direct that we were diving today is the sight of the bayern turrets. so the bayern battleship, when it was salvaged, the turrets were left under the sea. and they are pretty remarkable to see. my name is james and i am a scu ba—diving instructor here see. my name is james and i am a scuba—diving instructor here in orkney. it is maybe one of the best sites in the world to come and dive these types of ships and to be this accessible at this depth as well and you can come to scapa flow and visit the barriers, having never dive before. in dive and world war i and world war two ships that were sunk as part of the war. —— you can dive.
5:40 am
scapa flow as part of the war. —— you can dive. sca pa flow allows as part of the war. —— you can dive. scapa flow allows us to dive pretty much the whole year round more less, it isa much the whole year round more less, it is a natural harbour. it is protected and many sides by land. you could spend weeks and weeks and weeks diving the next year. they that big and you would still a reward every single time you jumped in the water. i am the curator for stromness museum. some of the items that we have in the collection that have come from the german fleet, we have come from the german fleet, we have the bail from the dresden and we have the bailfrom have the bail from the dresden and we have the bail from the frederick also. some of my favourite things are the more domestic or the more social history things. we have a china beer mug that has survived, that has the inscription. that is something that we also share with germany. so the diving industry in
5:41 am
orkney is aiming for us. it is really busy at the moment, it is really busy at the moment, it is really popular to come and take a guided dive. -- blooming. to have such history surrounding the shipwrecks, to be able to dive on what was the biggest scuttle ever is quite something. next up, we're in kadir is in spain, where chefs are bringing back an ancient recipe to modern menus. —— cadiz. still to come on the travel show: what's trending in the way of travel? and it's a fusion of cultures styling visitors in delhi. like you are staring a cup of coffee it's time for trending travel, your
