:00:00. > :00:07.The Government orders a review of the UK energy market,

:00:08. > :00:13.But critics say it's too little too late,

:00:14. > :00:23.after the Government's failure to honour a pledge to cap costs.

:00:24. > :00:30.This review will deliver benefits in a year's time, if it delivers

:00:31. > :00:36.benefits at all, so people are left with a feeling of a government that

:00:57. > :01:22.The government says it wants an independent review,

:01:23. > :01:38.of the cost of energy, just days after British Gas raised

:01:39. > :01:39.standard electricity prices by 12.5%.

:01:40. > :01:42.Theresa May in June's election, had pledged to cap energy prices,

:01:43. > :01:44.but shelved the plans, after losing her

:01:45. > :01:47.Now the Business Secretary, Greg Clark, says the review

:01:48. > :01:50.will look at how prices can be kept low, while ensuring the UK meets

:01:51. > :01:54.Here's our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam.

:01:55. > :01:57.How much we pay for our energy to run our households and companies

:01:58. > :02:00.Policies like capping energy prices to support working families...

:02:01. > :02:03.That's why Theresa May promised a price cap and an independent probe

:02:04. > :02:11.into the energy sector before the general election.

:02:12. > :02:13.And now this Oxford University professor, Dieter Helm,

:02:14. > :02:16.has only three months to find out where any fat can be trimmed

:02:17. > :02:20.He says he'll sort all the facts from the myths

:02:21. > :02:22.But some consumer groups are sceptical.

:02:23. > :02:24.Prices are a very real problem for families across Britain,

:02:25. > :02:30.This review is going to deliver benefits in years' time,

:02:31. > :02:35.So people are left with the feeling of a government that is kicking

:02:36. > :03:04.It is a very vital service, you need electricity. It is a case that they

:03:05. > :03:09.will have to go away and review it and come back, and they have

:03:10. > :03:12.promised the price cap, so they should deliver it.

:03:13. > :03:14.There are many stages in the energy value chain,

:03:15. > :03:17.but the main ones include buying gas and electricity

:03:18. > :03:20.That accounts for 36% of a typical bill.

:03:21. > :03:22.Moving it through pipes and cables - or distribution costs -

:03:23. > :03:27.But 13% of our bill also includes the subsidies for poorer households,

:03:28. > :03:29.and the cost of developing Britain's renewable - or green -

:03:30. > :03:35.The rest is made up of operational costs and VAT.

:03:36. > :03:37.Tom Burke, who used to advise Labour and Conservative

:03:38. > :03:39.governments on energy policy, says there's not much

:03:40. > :03:45.that can be achieved in a three-month time frame.

:03:46. > :03:49.I think a review this short is essentially headline management.

:03:50. > :03:50.I don't think Dieter, heroic though he is,

:03:51. > :03:53.is going to be able to come up with something that isn't already

:03:54. > :03:56.widely discussed inside the energy community where we know

:03:57. > :03:59.that the quickest and cheapest way to drive bills down is to improve

:04:00. > :04:15.After British Gas said it would raise its standard tariff to 12.5%,

:04:16. > :04:17.this will allow the government to say it is not tone deaf in the face

:04:18. > :04:19.of rising prices. Our Chief Political Correspondent

:04:20. > :04:27.Vicki Young is here. Is this a real attempt to help

:04:28. > :04:30.consumers? I think compared to the promise from the Conservatives

:04:31. > :04:34.during the election to have a price cap, then a review doesn't sound as

:04:35. > :04:37.if it will help much. Theresa May talked a lot about helping families

:04:38. > :04:42.who are just about managing, but even though many come -- people

:04:43. > :04:45.think the market is not working for them, they have drawn back from the

:04:46. > :04:50.idea of intervening because many conservatives don't like the idea of

:04:51. > :04:55.it at all. I think a government review is always about the person at

:04:56. > :05:01.the helm. D10 Helm has been outspoken about what he calls the

:05:02. > :05:04.high cost of subsidies, so when it comes to wind farms and solar energy

:05:05. > :05:07.he thinks it's too expensive and he's spoken out against nuclear

:05:08. > :05:12.power station saying he thinks that there might not be any more to build

:05:13. > :05:16.after Hinckley because it is such a complex web to get through to build

:05:17. > :05:20.them and too expensive. So it is possible that the review might mean

:05:21. > :05:24.there is a shift towards gas and a change in government policy, but

:05:25. > :05:29.when it comes to what ministers say, they are emphasising they have

:05:30. > :05:34.spoken to Ofgem and urge them to use existing powers to help those on

:05:35. > :05:37.lower incomes and get them on better tariffs, but the ultimate advice, as

:05:38. > :05:41.ever and for the foreseeable future is, if you want to get your bills

:05:42. > :05:50.down, you have to switch supplier. Thank you very much.

:05:51. > :05:52.America and China have welcomed tough new UN

:05:53. > :05:53.sanctions on North Korea, following it's recent

:05:54. > :05:56.China's Foreign Minister says he hopes Pyongyang,

:05:57. > :05:58.will now make what he calls the 'smart decision'

:05:59. > :06:02.He's been meeting the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,

:06:03. > :06:04.at a gathering of ministers from south-east Asian countries.

:06:05. > :06:06.Yogita Limeye's report from the South Korean capital Seoul,

:06:07. > :06:17.Putting on a united front at a meeting in Manila. The US secretary

:06:18. > :06:26.of state, Rick Stiller show is on show. America wants more countries

:06:27. > :06:30.to isolate North Korea, day after the Security Council voted to ban

:06:31. > :06:35.exports from Pyongyang. The sweeping measures were even backed China. A

:06:36. > :06:43.North Korean ally and the top trade partner. The Chinese side urge the

:06:44. > :06:46.North Koreans to handle the Security Council resolutions are not do

:06:47. > :06:57.anything on Besson official, such as a missile launcher or nuclear test.

:06:58. > :07:07.-- beneficial. The two leaders described the sanctions as a good

:07:08. > :07:11.outcome. Testing missiles like this is what prompted action against

:07:12. > :07:15.North Korea. The new sanctions could mean the loss of $8 million, but

:07:16. > :07:24.experts say it's unlikely to deter the state. They are unlikely to

:07:25. > :07:27.negotiate anything until they have a proven effort to deliver a nuclear

:07:28. > :07:34.strike to the United States. Once they get such a capability, probably

:07:35. > :07:39.in a few years' time, they are probably going to talk. Here, the

:07:40. > :07:44.President's office has welcomed the UN resolution but in North Korea the

:07:45. > :07:48.response has been expectedly belligerent. A newspaper run by the

:07:49. > :07:52.ruling party said that the US would be catapulted into a sea of fire if

:07:53. > :07:58.it did not change its hostile policy towards Pyongyang. In Manila, the US

:07:59. > :08:02.secretary of state commemorated those who died in World War II. And

:08:03. > :08:07.with his meetings there, he hopes to contain the threat from North Korea.

:08:08. > :08:08.It is making America nervous, but there seems to be no immediate

:08:09. > :08:13.solution. A man has died and two others

:08:14. > :08:16.are missing, after a boat sank in the English Channel off Shoreham

:08:17. > :08:18.in West Sussex. It happened in the early

:08:19. > :08:20.hours of this morning. One other man is recovering

:08:21. > :08:23.after being found clinging to a life He's thought to have been

:08:24. > :08:39.in the water for several hours. The four men had gone out into the

:08:40. > :08:43.early hours for a spot of night fishing. The police are looking into

:08:44. > :08:47.the possibility that the boat was hit by another vessel, and whatever

:08:48. > :08:51.happened, it went down very, very quickly and there was no time to

:08:52. > :08:56.make emergency calls were put on a life jacket. It was not until

:08:57. > :09:00.several hours later that a passing fishing boat spotted a man in the

:09:01. > :09:04.water clinging to a life buoy. He was taken to the shore. He is a

:09:05. > :09:09.45-year-old Romanian man who now lives in London, and the coastguard

:09:10. > :09:14.say he's being treated in hospital. Anybody that spends that length of

:09:15. > :09:18.time, numerous hours potentially, in the sea without any protective

:09:19. > :09:23.equipment at this time of year, it's a nice day but the sea is still cold

:09:24. > :09:28.and they are very lucky to be alive. The rescued man was able to tell the

:09:29. > :09:33.emergency services that three of his friends, also from Romania, was

:09:34. > :09:37.still in the water. A huge search was launched involving two

:09:38. > :09:41.helicopters and two lifeboats and at around eight a:m., the body of a man

:09:42. > :09:45.was recovered and brought back to shore. Despite eight hours of

:09:46. > :09:49.search, no trace could be found on the other two men. At this time of

:09:50. > :09:52.year the temperature of the water is around 15 degrees, so you can only

:09:53. > :09:56.survive for a short period of time, a number of hours, so sadly the

:09:57. > :09:58.search has been stood down by the coastguard. Simon, thank you very

:09:59. > :10:02.much. The leader of the Liberal Democrats,

:10:03. > :10:05.Sir Vince Cable, has criticised elderly Brexit supporters

:10:06. > :10:07.for as he put it "comprehensively he said older Leave voters,

:10:08. > :10:18.viewed economic pain as a price worth paying to leave the EU,

:10:19. > :10:20.but that many don't He says they've had the last word

:10:21. > :10:26.on Brexit, by imposing a world view coloured by nostalgia

:10:27. > :10:28.for Britain's imperial past. German football club Hanover

:10:29. > :10:30.is investigating the actions of its fans after their pre-season

:10:31. > :10:33.friendly at Burnley was abandoned Lancashire police say Hanover fans

:10:34. > :10:40.were involved in violence with one of their officers and three

:10:41. > :10:43.stewards being injured. The German club's fans

:10:44. > :10:45.ripped up seats and threw Now we're only just into the school

:10:46. > :10:52.holidays but are you already telling your children to get

:10:53. > :10:57.off their phones and tablets? Well, the Children's Commissioner

:10:58. > :10:59.for England is right behind you - saying today that parents should

:11:00. > :11:02.limit the amount of time their children spend online,

:11:03. > :11:04.just as they'd limit how much junk Anne Longfield says the internet can

:11:05. > :11:08.be addictive, and overuse can have a detrimental affect

:11:09. > :11:10.on children's confidence This seven-year-old is obsessed

:11:11. > :11:27.by his dad's phone. On average children now spend 15

:11:28. > :11:43.hours a week online. Parents, says the Children's

:11:44. > :11:45.Commissioner for England, We wouldn't let our children

:11:46. > :11:52.out in a strange city without giving them guidance

:11:53. > :11:55.and looking after them. And actually we shouldn't

:11:56. > :11:58.for their digital world either. So this is about equipping children,

:11:59. > :12:01.enabling them to have the confidence And also their confidence to say no

:12:02. > :12:06.to the constant drain and pressure She is urging parents to follow

:12:07. > :12:13.Fiona and be proactive. I'm always looking in, going

:12:14. > :12:16.through history, things like that. Just to double check

:12:17. > :12:19.what they are looking at. Because they could open something

:12:20. > :12:22.that they shouldn't be looking at. New guidelines, published online,

:12:23. > :12:26.of course, compare junk food The advice is simple,

:12:27. > :12:38.just as your children shouldn't eat a cheeseburger and chips every day,

:12:39. > :12:40.they shouldn't binge The obvious antidote,

:12:41. > :12:43.keeping kids active, but the Children's Commissioner

:12:44. > :12:46.is calling for a healthy balance. It is a tricky balance, I think,

:12:47. > :12:52.but you do need to encourage, they've got to get some fresh air,

:12:53. > :12:55.they've got to get some exercise. No iPad at dinner time and no phones

:12:56. > :12:58.during times when we are sitting We talk a lot more and I get

:12:59. > :13:04.to know a lot more about Kids only know a world

:13:05. > :13:10.with smartphones and the internet, Now, Natalie Pirks is at the World

:13:11. > :13:35.Athletics Championships in London, There are a view medal ceremonies to

:13:36. > :13:40.know. Jessica Ennis will get her upgraded gold medal from 2011 that

:13:41. > :13:44.she was cheated out of. And we will see Justin Gatlin get his goal for

:13:45. > :13:49.winning the 100 metres final last night. Usain Bolt could only manage

:13:50. > :13:53.bronze in his last ever individual race. The president of the sport 's

:13:54. > :13:58.governing body told the BBC today that Gatling's win was not the

:13:59. > :14:06.perfect script. Andy Swiss reports on the race that shot -- shocked the

:14:07. > :14:13.world. The villain turned victor. Athletics has other returned drugs

:14:14. > :14:17.cheats, but Justin Gatlin is the chosen brew boy, so this was the

:14:18. > :14:24.last thing the sport wanted. It is Gatling. Beating Usain Bolt in his

:14:25. > :14:29.last race then shushing the fans is hardly the past popularity, but his

:14:30. > :14:32.respect for Usain Bolt was clear and Gatlin says he has served his

:14:33. > :14:36.punishment and deserves his title. I have faced the rules and the

:14:37. > :14:40.penalties and inspired other athletes to be better, and I've done

:14:41. > :14:46.so much in the community back home, and mistakes can happen. You come

:14:47. > :14:51.back, you work hard, and you take an advantage. When Justin Gatlin steps

:14:52. > :14:56.on the medal podium tonight he can expect another lively reception.

:14:57. > :15:00.Some say the fans should not be blaming him, but blaming the sport

:15:01. > :15:05.authorities. Is it his fault he was allowed to run again? Not really.

:15:06. > :15:09.You doesn't make the rules. Yes, we can be disgruntled with people that

:15:10. > :15:13.make the rules and say it is time to get serious and when you are caught

:15:14. > :15:19.for drugs, you should be banned for life. As for this morning's action,

:15:20. > :15:23.Katarina Johnson Thomson briefly moved up to third in the heptathlon,

:15:24. > :15:26.but despite a season best in the javelin she has dropped down to

:15:27. > :15:34.fifth. Her hopes of a medal would seem to be fading.

:15:35. > :15:36.In the Scottish Premiership, Rangers have begun their season

:15:37. > :15:46.Graham Dorrans scored twice in the 2-1 victory at Fir Park,

:15:47. > :15:47.this second-half penalty securing all three points.

:15:48. > :15:49.Aberdeen also beat Hamilton Academical 2-0.

:15:50. > :15:51.England's batsmen have struggled on day three of the fourth and final

:15:52. > :15:53.Test against South Africa at Old Trafford.

:15:54. > :15:55.Keaton Jennings failed to deliver with the bat again,

:15:56. > :15:58.he made just 18 runs to complete a disappointing series

:15:59. > :16:07.Captain Joe Root just missed out on a half century, as he made 49.

:16:08. > :16:09.England have fallen to 194-7 in their second innings,

:16:10. > :16:17.Arsenal have beaten Chelsea in a penalty shootout to win

:16:18. > :16:30.The game was tied at full-time, but Chelsea, having been reduced to ten

:16:31. > :16:37.men after a straight red card, as David reports. In a sport so often

:16:38. > :16:42.divided, the rare sight of rivals United. This year 's Community

:16:43. > :16:46.Shield dedicated to the Grenfell Tower disaster. Many of those

:16:47. > :16:52.affected in attendance, and all of the victims honoured in silence. A

:16:53. > :16:56.repeat of the May FA Cup final, Arsenal picking up where they left

:16:57. > :17:02.off as as Alexandre Lacazette was so close to opening his account. Slowly

:17:03. > :17:08.Chelsea showed glimpses of the former lead them to the title. A

:17:09. > :17:12.contentious decision so Wiliame brooked instead of receiving a

:17:13. > :17:16.penalty, but there was no doubt about the other by Victor Moses that

:17:17. > :17:19.put the blues ahead straight after half-time and they stayed ahead

:17:20. > :17:25.thanks to the reflexes of Thibaut Courtois. After Pedro was sent off

:17:26. > :17:29.for a challenge that suggested the game was a friendly only in name,

:17:30. > :17:37.Arsenal took immediate advantage, another summer acquisition levelling

:17:38. > :17:43.the scores. Spot kicks would be needed, and it was Chelsea who

:17:44. > :17:47.blinked first as Courtois and then the own record signing Alvar Romeu

:17:48. > :17:51.Morata missing the target. It left Olivier Giroud to seal victory for

:17:52. > :17:54.Arsenal. The gunners are getting used to winning here, but the

:17:55. > :17:58.competition they really want is the Premier League, and that belongs to

:17:59. > :18:05.Chelsea. It promises to be a fascinating season ahead. Plenty

:18:06. > :18:09.more happening in the stadium tonight including the final event in

:18:10. > :18:12.the women's heptathlon, but like Andy said earlier, it looks like

:18:13. > :18:14.Katarina Johnson Thompson has left herself too much to do. Natalie,

:18:15. > :18:19.thank you very much for that. There's more throughout the evening

:18:20. > :18:22.on the BBC News Channel,
