The Government orders a review of the UK energy market,

But critics say it's too little too late,

after the Government's failure to honour a pledge to cap costs.

This review will deliver benefits in a year's time, if it delivers

benefits at all, so people are left with a feeling of a government that

The government says it wants an independent review,

of the cost of energy, just days after British Gas raised

standard electricity prices by 12.5%.

Theresa May in June's election, had pledged to cap energy prices,

but shelved the plans, after losing her

Now the Business Secretary, Greg Clark, says the review

will look at how prices can be kept low, while ensuring the UK meets

Here's our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam.

How much we pay for our energy to run our households and companies

Policies like capping energy prices to support working families...

That's why Theresa May promised a price cap and an independent probe

into the energy sector before the general election.

And now this Oxford University professor, Dieter Helm,

has only three months to find out where any fat can be trimmed

He says he'll sort all the facts from the myths

But some consumer groups are sceptical.

Prices are a very real problem for families across Britain,

This review is going to deliver benefits in years' time,

So people are left with the feeling of a government that is kicking

It is a very vital service, you need electricity. It is a case that they

will have to go away and review it and come back, and they have

promised the price cap, so they should deliver it.

There are many stages in the energy value chain,

but the main ones include buying gas and electricity

That accounts for 36% of a typical bill.

Moving it through pipes and cables - or distribution costs -

But 13% of our bill also includes the subsidies for poorer households,

and the cost of developing Britain's renewable - or green -

The rest is made up of operational costs and VAT.

Tom Burke, who used to advise Labour and Conservative

governments on energy policy, says there's not much

that can be achieved in a three-month time frame.

I think a review this short is essentially headline management.

I don't think Dieter, heroic though he is,

is going to be able to come up with something that isn't already

widely discussed inside the energy community where we know

that the quickest and cheapest way to drive bills down is to improve

After British Gas said it would raise its standard tariff to 12.5%,

this will allow the government to say it is not tone deaf in the face

of rising prices. Our Chief Political Correspondent

Vicki Young is here. Is this a real attempt to help

consumers? I think compared to the promise from the Conservatives

during the election to have a price cap, then a review doesn't sound as

if it will help much. Theresa May talked a lot about helping families

who are just about managing, but even though many come -- people

think the market is not working for them, they have drawn back from the

idea of intervening because many conservatives don't like the idea of

it at all. I think a government review is always about the person at

the helm. D10 Helm has been outspoken about what he calls the

high cost of subsidies, so when it comes to wind farms and solar energy

he thinks it's too expensive and he's spoken out against nuclear

power station saying he thinks that there might not be any more to build

after Hinckley because it is such a complex web to get through to build

them and too expensive. So it is possible that the review might mean

there is a shift towards gas and a change in government policy, but

when it comes to what ministers say, they are emphasising they have

spoken to Ofgem and urge them to use existing powers to help those on

lower incomes and get them on better tariffs, but the ultimate advice, as

ever and for the foreseeable future is, if you want to get your bills

down, you have to switch supplier. Thank you very much.

America and China have welcomed tough new UN

sanctions on North Korea, following it's recent

China's Foreign Minister says he hopes Pyongyang,

will now make what he calls the 'smart decision'

He's been meeting the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,

at a gathering of ministers from south-east Asian countries.

Yogita Limeye's report from the South Korean capital Seoul,

Putting on a united front at a meeting in Manila. The US secretary

of state, Rick Stiller show is on show. America wants more countries

to isolate North Korea, day after the Security Council voted to ban

exports from Pyongyang. The sweeping measures were even backed China. A

North Korean ally and the top trade partner. The Chinese side urge the

North Koreans to handle the Security Council resolutions are not do

anything on Besson official, such as a missile launcher or nuclear test.

-- beneficial. The two leaders described the sanctions as a good

outcome. Testing missiles like this is what prompted action against

North Korea. The new sanctions could mean the loss of $8 million, but

experts say it's unlikely to deter the state. They are unlikely to

negotiate anything until they have a proven effort to deliver a nuclear

strike to the United States. Once they get such a capability, probably

in a few years' time, they are probably going to talk. Here, the

President's office has welcomed the UN resolution but in North Korea the

response has been expectedly belligerent. A newspaper run by the

ruling party said that the US would be catapulted into a sea of fire if

it did not change its hostile policy towards Pyongyang. In Manila, the US

secretary of state commemorated those who died in World War II. And

with his meetings there, he hopes to contain the threat from North Korea.

It is making America nervous, but there seems to be no immediate

solution. A man has died and two others

are missing, after a boat sank in the English Channel off Shoreham

in West Sussex. It happened in the early

hours of this morning. One other man is recovering

after being found clinging to a life He's thought to have been

in the water for several hours. The four men had gone out into the

early hours for a spot of night fishing. The police are looking into

the possibility that the boat was hit by another vessel, and whatever

happened, it went down very, very quickly and there was no time to

make emergency calls were put on a life jacket. It was not until

several hours later that a passing fishing boat spotted a man in the

water clinging to a life buoy. He was taken to the shore. He is a

45-year-old Romanian man who now lives in London, and the coastguard

say he's being treated in hospital. Anybody that spends that length of

time, numerous hours potentially, in the sea without any protective

equipment at this time of year, it's a nice day but the sea is still cold

and they are very lucky to be alive. The rescued man was able to tell the

emergency services that three of his friends, also from Romania, was

still in the water. A huge search was launched involving two

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

was recovered and brought back to shore. Despite eight hours of

search, no trace could be found on the other two men. At this time of

year the temperature of the water is around 15 degrees, so you can only

survive for a short period of time, a number of hours, so sadly the

search has been stood down by the coastguard. Simon, thank you very

much. The leader of the Liberal Democrats,

holidays but are you already telling your children to get

off their phones and tablets? Well, the Children's Commissioner

for England is right behind you - saying today that parents should

limit the amount of time their children spend online,

just as they'd limit how much junk Anne Longfield says the internet can

be addictive, and overuse can have a detrimental affect

on children's confidence This seven-year-old is obsessed

by his dad's phone. On average children now spend 15

hours a week online. Parents, says the Children's

Commissioner for England, We wouldn't let our children

out in a strange city without giving them guidance

and looking after them. And actually we shouldn't

for their digital world either. So this is about equipping children,

enabling them to have the confidence And also their confidence to say no

to the constant drain and pressure She is urging parents to follow

Fiona and be proactive. I'm always looking in, going

through history, things like that. Just to double check

what they are looking at. Because they could open something

that they shouldn't be looking at. New guidelines, published online,

of course, compare junk food The advice is simple,

just as your children shouldn't eat a cheeseburger and chips every day,

they shouldn't binge The obvious antidote,

keeping kids active, but the Children's Commissioner

is calling for a healthy balance. It is a tricky balance, I think,

but you do need to encourage, they've got to get some fresh air,

they've got to get some exercise. No iPad at dinner time and no phones

with smartphones and the internet, Now, Natalie Pirks is at the World

Athletics Championships in London, There are a view medal ceremonies to

know. Jessica Ennis will get her upgraded gold medal from 2011 that

she was cheated out of. And we will see Justin Gatlin get his goal for

winning the 100 metres final last night. Usain Bolt could only manage

bronze in his last ever individual race. The president of the sport 's

governing body told the BBC today that Gatling's win was not the

perfect script. Andy Swiss reports on the race that shot -- shocked the

world. The villain turned victor. Athletics has other returned drugs

cheats, but Justin Gatlin is the chosen brew boy, so this was the

last thing the sport wanted. It is Gatling. Beating Usain Bolt in his

last race then shushing the fans is hardly the past popularity, but his

respect for Usain Bolt was clear and Gatlin says he has served his

punishment and deserves his title. I have faced the rules and the

penalties and inspired other athletes to be better, and I've done

so much in the community back home, and mistakes can happen. You come

back, you work hard, and you take an advantage. When Justin Gatlin steps

on the medal podium tonight he can expect another lively reception.

Some say the fans should not be blaming him, but blaming the sport

authorities. Is it his fault he was allowed to run again? Not really.

You doesn't make the rules. Yes, we can be disgruntled with people that

make the rules and say it is time to get serious and when you are caught

for drugs, you should be banned for life. As for this morning's action,

Katarina Johnson Thomson briefly moved up to third in the heptathlon,

but despite a season best in the javelin she has dropped down to

fifth. Her hopes of a medal would seem to be fading.

England have fallen to 194-7 in their second innings,

Arsenal have beaten Chelsea in a penalty shootout to win

The game was tied at full-time, but Chelsea, having been reduced to ten

men after a straight red card, as David reports. In a sport so often

divided, the rare sight of rivals United. This year 's Community

Shield dedicated to the Grenfell Tower disaster. Many of those

affected in attendance, and all of the victims honoured in silence. A

repeat of the May FA Cup final, Arsenal picking up where they left

off as as Alexandre Lacazette was so close to opening his account. Slowly

Chelsea showed glimpses of the former lead them to the title. A

contentious decision so Wiliame brooked instead of receiving a

penalty, but there was no doubt about the other by Victor Moses that

put the blues ahead straight after half-time and they stayed ahead

thanks to the reflexes of Thibaut Courtois. After Pedro was sent off

for a challenge that suggested the game was a friendly only in name,

Arsenal took immediate advantage, another summer acquisition levelling

the scores. Spot kicks would be needed, and it was Chelsea who

blinked first as Courtois and then the own record signing Alvar Romeu

Morata missing the target. It left Olivier Giroud to seal victory for

Arsenal. The gunners are getting used to winning here, but the

competition they really want is the Premier League, and that belongs to

Chelsea. It promises to be a fascinating season ahead. Plenty

more happening in the stadium tonight including the final event in

the women's heptathlon, but like Andy said earlier, it looks like
