:01:39. > :01:42.Good evening. The UK's biggest energy supplier,
:01:42. > :01:46.British Gas, and its parent company Centrica have been defending a big
:01:46. > :01:49.jump in profits. While many customers are struggling to pay
:01:49. > :01:56.their bills, British Gas profits rose by 11% or �606 million after
:01:56. > :02:00.raising its prices. Under attack from consumer groups, the company
:02:00. > :02:03.claims its profits per household have fallen. David Cameron
:02:03. > :02:07.reiterated today his plan to push ahead with plans to force companies
:02:07. > :02:14.to put their customers on the cheapest tariffs. Here's our
:02:14. > :02:19.industry correspondent, John Moylan. In 2012 temperatures fell. Bad news
:02:19. > :02:25.for households which used more gas, but good news for the UK's biggest
:02:25. > :02:30.energy supplier. Profits at British Gas jumped to �606 million. That's
:02:30. > :02:36.up 11% on the previous year, it amounts to around �49 profit her
:02:36. > :02:39.household. We put our prices up and our profits are uppm. The company
:02:39. > :02:43.was unrepentant. If we are going to continue to keep
:02:43. > :02:47.the lights on, to keep secure supplies of gas coming to the UK,
:02:47. > :02:51.we have entered into �50 billion worth of commitments for gas for
:02:51. > :02:55.our UK suppliers. You cannot do that unless you remain a successful
:02:55. > :02:59.company. All the major suppliers hiked up
:02:59. > :03:04.tariffs last year making life tougher for customers. Back in
:03:04. > :03:12.October, British Gas announced that it was increasing prices by about
:03:12. > :03:17.6% for both gas and electricity. Now that that added around �80 to a
:03:17. > :03:22.typical dual fuel bill which jumped to over �1,300 a year for a
:03:22. > :03:28.household. Some like Karen O'Brien from
:03:28. > :03:32.Gosport pay even more, around �30 a week for gas alone. If I put the
:03:32. > :03:36.gas cook er on, I switch the heating off and vice versa. We
:03:36. > :03:40.don't have it on at night when we are asleep. It is not a huge house.
:03:40. > :03:46.There is no a lot to heat, but British Gas have raised the prices
:03:46. > :03:50.as well which we have noticed so it is costing us more money.
:03:50. > :03:54.Higher tariffs also meant energy was high on the political agenda
:03:54. > :03:59.today at Prime Minister's Questions. What is he going to do now to keep
:03:59. > :04:02.his promise to those families who are struggling to heat their homes?
:04:02. > :04:07.We are legislating to make sure that energy companies put people on
:04:07. > :04:11.to the lowest tariffs. When that bill comes in front of the House of
:04:11. > :04:16.Commons I hope she will vote for it. British Gas accounts for part of
:04:17. > :04:20.the profits at its parent company, Centrica. Overall, it made made
:04:20. > :04:26.�2.7 billion last year, much of that from producing oil and gas.
:04:27. > :04:31.But while bills were rising, it also paid out �850 million to
:04:31. > :04:35.shareholders. So is that too much? They are around the average mark.
:04:35. > :04:38.They are on the higher end, but when you look across all the
:04:38. > :04:41.companies in the FTSE 100, they are not paying out excessive sums of
:04:41. > :04:47.money in comparison with their peers.
:04:47. > :04:50.2013 has started cold. That could send profits higher again. But
:04:50. > :04:55.Centrica insists that it contributes to the economy and
:04:55. > :05:00.employs 40,000 people in the UK and paying around �800 million a year
:05:00. > :05:04.in tax too. John is here now. John some support
:05:04. > :05:07.and criticism of British Gas there. Has British Gas got the balance
:05:07. > :05:11.right between prices and profits? Well, it is a question we heard a
:05:11. > :05:14.lot today. We heard a lot today from consumer groups about the
:05:14. > :05:18.concept of fairness where the profits fair? It is worth
:05:18. > :05:22.remembering that British Gas and Centrica, they are not charities.
:05:22. > :05:26.They are there to make money. They make a bit of money and part of the
:05:26. > :05:30.problem today was these were strong strong profits at British Gas, up
:05:30. > :05:33.11% on the back of the price rises they saw last year and in a year,
:05:33. > :05:39.when British Gas saw its customer numbers fall overall. They didn't
:05:39. > :05:43.go up, they fell. That led some to ask the question - is British Gas
:05:43. > :05:46.recession-proof? Can it make money whatever is going on out in the
:05:46. > :05:51.economy? And is it getting as you say, the balance right? Consumer
:05:51. > :05:53.groups are asking is the balance between profits and the payouts to
:05:53. > :05:58.shareholders and also what is happening to our bills and higher
:05:58. > :06:02.prices, is that balance right? On bills, today we heard the debate go
:06:02. > :06:08.on, the political debate is raging about the best way to keep the
:06:08. > :06:10.bills down. A warning today from Centrica saying as it looks ahead,
:06:10. > :06:15.it thinks the only direction for bills is upwards.
:06:15. > :06:17.Thank you very much. Pope Benedict has bid his followers
:06:17. > :06:21.an emotional public farewell and spoke openly about the difficulties
:06:21. > :06:23.of his papacy. Addressing an estimated 150,000 people in St
:06:23. > :06:26.Peter's Square in Rome, some carrying banners reading, "Benedict,
:06:26. > :06:35.change your mind", the Pope said that at times during his eight
:06:35. > :06:37.years in the Vatican, there had been choppy waters. Benedict will
:06:37. > :06:40.formally relinquish his role tomorrow evening becoming the first
:06:40. > :06:49.Pope for 600 years to step down. From Rome, our special
:06:49. > :06:54.correspondent, Allan Little reports. Pope Benedict has never seemed
:06:54. > :06:59.comfortable in front of crowds. Even a crowd as adoring as this one.
:06:59. > :07:04.The Vatican said they expected 50,000. It was four or five times
:07:04. > :07:10.that. It is like - it means the world to me. I grew up Catholic so
:07:10. > :07:15.it's just huge. To deepen our understanding of this great event,
:07:15. > :07:21.you know, that is taking shape in our church. This is the main reason
:07:21. > :07:26.why I'm here today. It was a long and physically
:07:26. > :07:34.demanding event for a man hose frailty is -- whose frailty is
:07:34. > :07:38.evident. Hes message was emotion -- his message was emotional and he
:07:38. > :07:45.referred the controversies. He said the church faced stormy weather. It
:07:45. > :07:51.had seemed at times that the Lord was sleeping.
:07:51. > :07:55.When he was elected Pope eight years ago, he said, he surrendered
:07:55. > :08:02.his life to a a private life and there could be no going back. He
:08:02. > :08:08.said, "I am not abandoning the cross."
:08:08. > :08:11.I ask each of you to pray for me and for the new Pope.
:08:11. > :08:17.This is the last time the public will see this Pope. Soon for the
:08:17. > :08:21.sake of the credibility and authority of the next Pope, ben
:08:21. > :08:30.Benedict will be hidden from the world for the rest of his life.
:08:30. > :08:37.There will soon be two Pope in the Vatican. Benedict XVI will hold the
:08:37. > :08:42.title Pope Emeratius, could he become a focus for descent in a
:08:42. > :08:46.church hierarchy that is plagued by ifighting?
:08:46. > :08:50.The new Pope will inherit a church that is shrinking in its

:08:54. > :08:59.developing Worle, but -- world, but remains dominated by European
:08:59. > :09:02.cardinals at the top. He will inherit a church reeling from sex
:09:02. > :09:07.and child abuse scandals in the priesthood.
:09:07. > :09:11.Pope Benedict retreats from public view, buoyed today by the affection
:09:11. > :09:20.of the faithful, but leaving a church that is still in crisis and
:09:20. > :09:22.still by his own admission bitterly divided.
:09:23. > :09:26.The Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, has been giving a new
:09:26. > :09:29.account of the sexual harassment crisis that's hit the party. For
:09:29. > :09:31.the first time, he now says that Lord Rennard's inappropriate
:09:31. > :09:37.behaviour was known when he resigned as the party chief
:09:37. > :09:39.executive in 2009. Lord Rennard refutes the allegations of sexual
:09:39. > :09:43.harassment made against him. Vicky Young's report contains flash
:09:43. > :09:49.photography. The questions keep coming for Nick
:09:49. > :09:51.Clegg and the answers well, they keep changing. A week ago, he said
:09:51. > :09:56.he didn't know complaints had been made about Lord Rennard's behaviour.
:09:56. > :10:02.Now he says they were part of the reason the peer resign.
:10:02. > :10:09.-- resigned. The Lib Dem leader was doing his bit for the by-election
:10:09. > :10:13.in Eastleigh. Mr Clegg offered yet another version of what happened
:10:13. > :10:19.rumours surfaced about Lord Rennard. He left for health reasons and
:10:19. > :10:25.those health reasons are well-known, but as everybody now knows, these
:10:25. > :10:28.concerns about Lord Rennard's behaviour, inappropriate behaviour,
:10:28. > :10:35.were obviously circulating at the time. That was in the background as
:10:35. > :10:40.well. Lord Rennard denies any impropriety
:10:40. > :10:43.and his friends contradict Mr Clegg, insisting his health was the only
:10:43. > :10:49.reason he resigned. Now for the first time, one of the party's
:10:49. > :10:53.senior women has spoken out. Lady Williams says Lord Rennard is a
:10:53. > :11:00.fine man and the whole thing has been exaggerated and came to Mr
:11:00. > :11:04.Clegg's defence. Nick has behaved in a exemplary way.
:11:04. > :11:06.If people are not prepared to have their names recorded.
:11:06. > :11:09.That's upset one of the women who complained about Lord Rennard years
:11:09. > :11:13.ago. She says she will be speaking to the police tomorrow about what
:11:13. > :11:17.happened. I always had a lot of respect for
:11:17. > :11:20.Shirley Williams so I'm disappointed by that. It was a
:11:20. > :11:25.serious incident. It was more, people have been talking about
:11:25. > :11:27.hands on the knee and things like that, it was very much more serious
:11:27. > :11:33.than that. Tonight, it emerged that Lib Dem

:21:13. > :21:16.saying, they said look, he was saying possibly a bit clumsily
:21:16. > :21:19.things that we already knew, that the Government will have to spend
:21:19. > :21:22.longer than it thought in getting rid of the hole in the public
:21:22. > :21:26.finances, because it's turned out to be larger than they thought. And
:21:26. > :21:29.it's going to have to have a faster pace of deficit reduction in future
:21:29. > :21:32.than this year. We may not have seen the borrowing fall at all in
:21:32. > :21:38.the last year. It speaks to the very aggressive way they've
:21:38. > :21:44.responded to this news of the loss of the triple-A rating last week.
:21:44. > :21:47.Citibgdz say -- critics say it's a sign of the failure of George
:21:47. > :21:52.Osborne's course. They've been determined in saying no, it shows
:21:52. > :21:56.how right we were. If we hadn't taken the taufproch on the deficit
:21:56. > :22:00.the borrowing -- tough approach on the deficit the borrowing would
:22:00. > :22:03.have been that much higher. What about the GDP figures? The Office
:22:03. > :22:07.for National Statistics has the first take on the GDP figures,
:22:07. > :22:11.which we had at the end of January. Now it has more numbers. It's taken
:22:11. > :22:15.another look at them. It hasn't decided that anything different
:22:15. > :22:20.happened in the last three months of the year. The economy shange.
:22:20. > :22:28.We've had revisions to previous parts of the year. We had 0.2%
:22:28. > :22:33.growth, if you strip out of the effect of decline in North Sea oil,
:22:33. > :22:36.it is more like 0.6%, which is better than we might think. Some
:22:36. > :22:39.bad news is that there's been no sign of support from exports, in
:22:39. > :22:44.fact trade, which we were hoping to play a much bigger part in growth,
:22:44. > :22:47.has been pulling back the economy. The only thing supporting it last
:22:47. > :22:53.year was Government spending and spending by hard-pressed consumers.
:22:53. > :22:58.Thank you. The best friend of Reeva Steenkamp,
:22:58. > :23:02.who was shot dead by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius, has been speaking
:23:02. > :23:06.about her final hours, describing the model as a thoughtful person
:23:06. > :23:12.who everybody loved. She told our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding
:23:12. > :23:16.that she wanted to make sure Reeva's voice is heard.
:23:16. > :23:20.Reeva Steenkamp at home in the weeks before she died. She was
:23:20. > :23:27.living in the suburbs of Johannesburg with her close friend
:23:27. > :23:34.Gina Myers and family. Gina showed me Reeva's bedroom and spoke of the
:23:34. > :23:40.family's grief. My dad is a mess. I think because she was living here,
:23:40. > :23:47.he feels like he didn't protect her. She said that night that she was
:23:47. > :23:52.sleeping out. I think, you know, you look back and say well why
:23:52. > :23:56.didn't we say come home. Instead, Reeva was shot dead by the man
:23:56. > :23:59.she'd been dating for about three months, Oscar Pistorius. He used to
:23:59. > :24:07.come to the house here to pick Reeva up. So what happened that
:24:07. > :24:17.night? We all just want to know the truth. I think that's everyone in
:24:17. > :24:23.the world now. Do you think Reeva was happy? I did. And happy in her
:24:23. > :24:28.relationship? Yes. So what do you think the truth is? I don't want to
:24:28. > :24:31.comment on that. You'll wait for the trial? I'll
:24:31. > :24:37.wait for the trial. But that trial is months away and
:24:37. > :24:41.in the meantime, Reeva Steenkamp's friends and family worry, as is so
:24:41. > :24:46.often the case even with far less famous murder suspects, it's the
:24:46. > :24:52.victim who's being forgotten. I want people to know Reeva. Do you
:24:52. > :24:58.feel she's been overlooked? I do. I feel like, at the end of the day,
:24:58. > :25:07.Reeva was killed. Her friends speak of a romantic, ambitious woman and
:25:07. > :25:11.believe that justice will prevail. Now how much do you drink or rather
:25:11. > :25:15.how much do you add noit drinking? New research in England suggests
:25:15. > :25:18.there's a big difference. The study by University College London
:25:18. > :25:23.compared alcohol sales figures in England with surveys detailing what
:25:23. > :25:27.we say we drink. Almost half the alcohol sold is unaccounted for,
:25:27. > :25:30.indicating we're drinking much more than we admit to. The authors of
:25:30. > :25:35.the study suggest that could mean 80% of women and three quarters of
:25:35. > :25:38.men are drinking more than the recommended safe levels.
:25:38. > :25:42.You'd have thought winning two gold medals at the London Olympics would
:25:42. > :25:50.give you an international sporting reputation, but for one British
:25:50. > :25:53.superstar, it seems, it wasn't quite enough. Month Farah racing to
:25:53. > :25:57.victory in an athletics Grand Prix in Birmingham. A household name,
:25:58. > :26:01.but not over in the States, it turns out. After winning the New
:26:01. > :26:06.Orleans half-marathon at the weekend, Mo, ever keen to please
:26:06. > :26:12.agreed it a post-run interview. Then came a question he couldn't
:26:12. > :26:18.have expected. Now haven't you run before? Sorry? Haven't you run
:26:18. > :26:21.before, this isn't your first time? No, it's not my first time. I've
:26:21. > :26:27.done before half-marathon, but not New Orleans, this is my first time
