:00:08. > :00:09.The Government launches a review into the cost of energy,

:00:10. > :00:14.But critics question what the inquiry, to be

:00:15. > :00:19.completed by the end October, will actually achieve.

:00:20. > :00:22.I think that frankly a three-month study of this issue is nothing more

:00:23. > :00:27.It's not going to add anything to a wide-ranging debate

:00:28. > :00:33.The review comes days after British Gas, raised some

:00:34. > :00:47.Representing the United States of America, Justin Gatlin.

:00:48. > :00:50.The crowd's left unimpressed, as Justin Gatlin receives his 100m

:00:51. > :00:51.gold medal, after beating Usian Bolt into third.

:00:52. > :00:53.United against North Korea's missile testing.

:00:54. > :00:57.China and America welcome new UN sanctions.

:00:58. > :01:00.And, the British Army is enlisted, to help track elephant

:01:01. > :01:27.The Government has launched an independent review

:01:28. > :01:37.of the cost of energy, days after British Gas raised

:01:38. > :01:41.The Prime Minister had pledged to cap energy prices

:01:42. > :01:44.during June's election campaign, but shelved the plans after losing

:01:45. > :01:47.The review will look at prices, and the UK's commitment

:01:48. > :01:50.It'll be completed by the end of October.

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

:01:52. > :01:54.How much we pay for our energy, to run our households and companies

:01:55. > :02:01.Policies like capping energy prices to support working families.

:02:02. > :02:04.That's why Theresa May promised a price cap and an independent probe

:02:05. > :02:08.into the energy sector before the general election.

:02:09. > :02:11.The cap may have been shelved but this Oxford University

:02:12. > :02:13.professor, Dieter Helm, has only three months to find out

:02:14. > :02:17.where any fat can be trimmed from our energy bills.

:02:18. > :02:20.He says he will sort all the facts from the myths

:02:21. > :02:25.This review will look at all the costs that make up your bill.

:02:26. > :02:27.The main ones include buying gas and electricity

:02:28. > :02:32.That accounts for 36% of a typical bill.

:02:33. > :02:34.Moving it through pipes and cables, known as distribution,

:02:35. > :02:41.But 13% of our bill includes subsidies for poorer households,

:02:42. > :02:46.and the cost of developing renewable - or green - energy supplies.

:02:47. > :02:50.The rest is made up by operational costs and VAT.

:02:51. > :02:52.And, for some households, it's not clear whether this review

:02:53. > :02:56.will be the green light for lower bills.

:02:57. > :02:59.They've gone up so much and I find I'm paying a lot of money.

:03:00. > :03:07.Like, it can't just happen at the click of a finger.

:03:08. > :03:14.It's a case of they have to go away, review it, and come back.

:03:15. > :03:17.If they have promised a price cap, obviously they should deliver on it.

:03:18. > :03:19.Tom Brook used to advise Labour and Conservative governments.

:03:20. > :03:22.He says there's not much that Dieter Helm can do in three months.

:03:23. > :03:24.I think a review this short is essentially headline management.

:03:25. > :03:26.I don't think Dieter, heroic though he is,

:03:27. > :03:29.is going to be ale to come up with something that isn't

:03:30. > :03:31.already widely discussed inside the energy community.

:03:32. > :03:39.Where we know that the quickest and cheapest way to drive bills down

:03:40. > :03:41.is to improve the efficiency of our buildings.

:03:42. > :03:46.After British Gas said it would be raising its standard electricity

:03:47. > :03:49.prices by 12.5% - this energy probe would allow the Government

:03:50. > :03:52.to say it's not tone deaf in the face of rising prices.

:03:53. > :03:58.And our political correspondent Vicki Young is here.

:03:59. > :04:06.Consumers obviously want lower prices. Is that the point of this

:04:07. > :04:09.review question is that what is likely to happen? Theresa May has

:04:10. > :04:14.talked about helping the just about managing. Cheering the election

:04:15. > :04:20.campaign the Conservatives promised something pretty bold, a price cap.

:04:21. > :04:24.That is off the agenda because some conservatives do not like the idea

:04:25. > :04:28.of intervening in the market even though customers feel the market is

:04:29. > :04:32.not working for them. The bit that has survived is the wide review of

:04:33. > :04:36.the industry. It is an independent review, always worth looking at the

:04:37. > :04:40.person in charge of it. Deta Hedman has taken against green subsidies.

:04:41. > :04:46.He does believe that solar and wind power have all role to play back he

:04:47. > :04:50.feels they are too expensive. If you're looking at immediate action

:04:51. > :04:54.on bringing the bill down, ministers say they are urging Ofgem to use

:04:55. > :04:57.powers it already has two protect those particularly on the lowest

:04:58. > :05:02.incomes. The advice remains the same does that if you want to bring the

:05:03. > :05:04.bills down immediately, the best advice is to switch.

:05:05. > :05:07.The American sprinter Justin Gatlin, who won the 100m

:05:08. > :05:09.at the World Athletics Championships in London, was given a mixed

:05:10. > :05:12.reception this evening by the crowd, on receiving his gold medal.

:05:13. > :05:14.Gatlin, who's twice been banned from the sport for doping,

:05:15. > :05:17.beat Usain Bolt into third place last night, prompting

:05:18. > :05:29.Our Sports Editor Dan Roan is at the London Stadium.

:05:30. > :05:37.Clive, ever since Justin Gatling crashed right Usain Bolt's farewell

:05:38. > :05:43.retirement party last night, the world of athletics has been waiting

:05:44. > :05:48.with bated breath their -- head of the awarding of the gold medal. He

:05:49. > :05:52.was spared the torrent of booze and rancour that were witnessed after

:05:53. > :05:53.the race last night but that victory has exposed some awkward questions

:05:54. > :05:58.for the world of track and field. It was the sight and the sound that

:05:59. > :06:03.athletics had feared. The American, twice banned for drug

:06:04. > :06:06.offences, crowned world champion Some booed, some applauded,

:06:07. > :06:10.others did not seem to know Instead, the cheers were reserved

:06:11. > :06:15.for the man the crowd had been desperate to see win in his final

:06:16. > :06:18.individual race, but Usain Bolt had The sprint superstar

:06:19. > :06:25.denied the perfect end Gatlin's triumph has gone down badly

:06:26. > :06:30.with the world's most senior This is unfortunate in the current

:06:31. > :06:35.debate at the moment, and it is unfortunate mainly

:06:36. > :06:39.because he was a two-time offender. In many ways I wish it had not

:06:40. > :06:43.happened but it has, and we have to abide by the rules

:06:44. > :06:46.of the game. At the last World Championships

:06:47. > :06:48.in Beijing, athletics breathed a sigh of relief

:06:49. > :06:53.when Boltnarrowly beat Gatlin. But two years on, Gatlin has become

:06:54. > :07:05.one of the sport's most controversial winners and some now

:07:06. > :07:08.want track and field to get tougher. Is it his fault he is

:07:09. > :07:10.allowed to run again? It is the people

:07:11. > :07:13.that make the rules. Yes, we should be disgruntled

:07:14. > :07:15.with the people that make the rules and go,

:07:16. > :07:18.it is time for change When you're caught for drugs,

:07:19. > :07:21.you're banned for life. It is something that clean athletes

:07:22. > :07:25.have been saying for 15, 20 years. The shadow cast by cheating

:07:26. > :07:31.extends well beyond Gatlin. World champion hurdler

:07:32. > :07:34.Sergey Shubenkov is one of just 19 Russians allowed to compete here,

:07:35. > :07:37.but only as neutral athletes, because the country is banned

:07:38. > :07:43.for state-sponsored doping. But it is Gatlin who is athletics'

:07:44. > :07:46.pantomime villain and the sport's most powerful man admitted

:07:47. > :07:49.it is a result he could do without. I am hardly going to sit

:07:50. > :07:55.here and tell you I am eulogistic that somebody who has served two

:07:56. > :07:58.bans in our sport would walk off with one of our glittering prizes,

:07:59. > :08:01.but he is eligible to be here. Last night, I asked Gatlin

:08:02. > :08:04.whether the sport could be proud I faced all the rules

:08:05. > :08:10.and the penalties, and I have inspired other athletes,

:08:11. > :08:13.you know, to be better, I have done so much

:08:14. > :08:19.in the community back home. I want them to know that mistakes

:08:20. > :08:22.can happen but you cam come back and work hard for them,

:08:23. > :08:24.and you can be accepted Many in the sport had hoped

:08:25. > :08:29.the Jamaican national anthem Instead, a twist athletics

:08:30. > :08:32.had not seen coming. For track and field,

:08:33. > :08:43.the retirement of its greatest star Away from all the controversy

:08:44. > :08:48.surrounding Justin Gatlin's in, it has been another action packed day.

:08:49. > :08:50.Here is Natalie Pirks with the rest of the news, including another

:08:51. > :08:53.significant medal ceremony. The moment felt familiar,

:08:54. > :08:56.nostalgic even. Jessica Ennis-Hill topped the podium

:08:57. > :08:58.in London once more. This time she was finally

:08:59. > :09:00.getting her hands on what was Cheated out of gold in 2011

:09:01. > :09:07.by Russian Tatyana Chernova, she wasn't sure if this moment

:09:08. > :09:10.would ever come. My husband said to me,

:09:11. > :09:16."You're not going to cry, are you?" But I'd forgotten that feeling

:09:17. > :09:23.when you step out in an arena like this and actually hear

:09:24. > :09:25.the crowd cheering for you. It was just really special to be

:09:26. > :09:33.on the podium for one last time. Katarina Johnson-Thompson has long

:09:34. > :09:39.been considered Britain's heir Yet again, in a major championship,

:09:40. > :09:51.he hopes plummeted. Despite a season's best

:09:52. > :09:54.in the javelin, she left herself far too much to do in the final event -

:09:55. > :09:57.the 800 metres. Eventually she finished

:09:58. > :09:58.fifth overall. Disappointment too

:09:59. > :09:59.follow Holly Bradshaw. She had a good chance

:10:00. > :10:02.of a medal in the pole vault. After failing at 4 metres and 75,

:10:03. > :10:05.she watched with horror as the next two athletes to clear

:10:06. > :10:07.it claimed bronze. When she realised how close

:10:08. > :10:12.she'd come, she couldn't Sir Mo Farah turns his attentions

:10:13. > :10:24.to the marathon after these championships and he could well

:10:25. > :10:26.have a fellow countrymen Calum Hawkins equalled the best

:10:27. > :10:30.finish by a Briton in the event, This man could be one

:10:31. > :10:39.of the greats of marathon Jamaican fans had travelled a long

:10:40. > :10:45.way to see their men and women be crowned champions. Another shock as

:10:46. > :10:47.their darling was left for dust by the USA athlete as she timed her dip

:10:48. > :10:56.to perfection. Many are troubled by the way Justin

:10:57. > :11:02.has been portrayed as track and field's he-man. There are many

:11:03. > :11:06.athletes who have served doping bans, not just the Americans. The

:11:07. > :11:10.sport has been trying to make progress, getting tough with Russia

:11:11. > :11:20.and setting up a new integrity unit. Repeat offenders can now receive

:11:21. > :11:26.life bans. That win over Usain Bolt has threatened to undo that good

:11:27. > :11:31.work. Now that Bolt is no log on the scene, one can't help but feel some

:11:32. > :11:35.of the frailties have been exposed like never before.

:11:36. > :11:37.China's Foreign Minister, has urged North Korea,

:11:38. > :11:39.to end ballistic missile tests, that have raised tensions

:11:40. > :11:43.He says the regime in Pyongyang has to make "smart decisions,"

:11:44. > :11:51.in the wake of tough new UN sanctions, imposed yesterday.

:11:52. > :12:02.He has been holding talks with the US secretary of state.

:12:09. > :12:11.The US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson is on a mission.

:12:12. > :12:13.America wants more countries to isolate North Korea,

:12:14. > :12:16.a day after the Security Council voted to ban exports from Pyongyang.

:12:17. > :12:22.The sweeping measures were even backed China, a North Korean ally

:12:23. > :12:33.The Chinese side urge the North Koreans to handle

:12:34. > :12:41.the Security Council resolutions and not do anything

:12:42. > :12:43.unbeneficial, such as a missile launch or nuclear test.

:12:44. > :12:48.The two leaders described the sanctions as a good outcome.

:12:49. > :12:50.Testing missiles like this is what prompted action

:12:51. > :13:00.The new sanctions could mean the loss of $1 billion,

:13:01. > :13:07.but experts say it's unlikely to deter the state.

:13:08. > :13:11.They are unlikely to negotiate anything until they have a proven

:13:12. > :13:15.capability to deliver a nuclear strike to the United States.

:13:16. > :13:20.Once they get such a capability, probably in a few years' time,

:13:21. > :13:26.Here in Seoul, the President's office has welcomed the UN

:13:27. > :13:28.resolution but in North Korea the response has been

:13:29. > :13:34.A newspaper run by the ruling party said that the US would be catapulted

:13:35. > :13:38.into a sea of fire if it did not change its hostile policy

:13:39. > :13:44.In Manila, the US Secretary of State commemorated those

:13:45. > :13:48.And with his meetings there, he hopes to contain

:14:04. > :14:05.after their boat sank off the Sussex coast.

:14:06. > :14:08.A fourth man was rescued early this morning, after being found clinging

:14:09. > :14:13.The coastguard has now suspended it's search,

:14:14. > :14:21.Searching for the missing men who were on a night fishing trip.

:14:22. > :14:23.Their boat went down in seconds with no time

:14:24. > :14:30.The alarm was raised when another boat spotted a man in the water,

:14:31. > :14:34.a 45-year-old from Romania who lives in London.

:14:35. > :14:36.Anybody that spends that length of time, you know,

:14:37. > :14:42.numerous hours, potentially, in the sea, without any

:14:43. > :14:44.protective equipment, at this time of year,

:14:45. > :14:47.it is a nice day, but the sea is still cold, very,

:14:48. > :14:50.The rescued man told the emergency services that

:14:51. > :14:53.three of his friends, also Romanian, were missing.

:14:54. > :14:56.Just after 8 o'clock this morning, the body of one of the men

:14:57. > :15:02.Police are now looking into the possibility that the boat

:15:03. > :15:07.He has described that their boat was struck by another

:15:08. > :15:11.He describes that he jumped from the boat to swim for safety

:15:12. > :15:14.and has therefore lost contact with the other three

:15:15. > :15:17.Despite several more hours of searching out there, there was no

:15:18. > :15:23.At this time of year, the temperature of the water

:15:24. > :15:28.People generally can only survive for a few hours at best in that.

:15:29. > :15:34.This afternoon, the search was suspended.

:15:35. > :15:37.The key question, why did a pleasure trip end in tragedy?

:15:38. > :15:44.The British Army is helping to fight poachers, who're threatening

:15:45. > :15:46.the existence of one species of African elephant.

:15:47. > :15:52.Tens of thousands of forest elephants, have been killed

:15:53. > :15:54.in the west African state of Gabon, mostly for their ivory,

:15:55. > :15:58.but now the President has asked the Rifles regiment,

:15:59. > :16:00.to teach gamekeepers how to track and stop the poachers.

:16:01. > :16:03.You may find some of the images in Jonathan Beale's report

:16:04. > :16:09.We are travelling through the second largest rainforest in the world,

:16:10. > :16:11.trying to find an animal whose numbers have declined by more

:16:12. > :16:22.And this is about as close as you'll ever get to them.

:16:23. > :16:28.We had to turn the engine off and stay silent.

:16:29. > :16:34.They are much smaller than the better-known savanna

:16:35. > :16:36.elephants but just as vulnerable to poachers, who target them

:16:37. > :16:46.This is what's been happening to them.

:16:47. > :16:51.It had been dead for weeks, just the valuable tusks taken.

:16:52. > :17:01.Talking about Gabon, I think we lost 30,000

:17:02. > :17:16.It's a big and important programme now for Gabonese Administration.

:17:17. > :17:18.85% of Gabon is covered in rainforest that stretches

:17:19. > :17:24.This is the last century for the elusive forest elephant

:17:25. > :17:27.but it is also ideal hiding and cover for the poachers,

:17:28. > :17:33.who are killing them at an alarming rate.

:17:34. > :17:40.And, with the help of the British Army.

:17:41. > :17:42.For the first time, we've been allowed to film the small

:17:43. > :17:47.team of UK soldiers, who are helping train

:17:48. > :17:51.Gabon's National Park Agency in their fight to save the elephant.

:17:52. > :17:53.Gabon has got a real high density of forest elephants.

:17:54. > :17:56.That's why it's got a poaching problem.

:17:57. > :17:59.Out here, training the Gabonese National Parks Agency to combat

:18:00. > :18:02.that, both at the tactical and operational levels,

:18:03. > :18:04.means that the British Army make a difference in that fight

:18:05. > :18:12.They've even brought in jungle warfare specialists,

:18:13. > :18:15.who, in this exercise, show them how to find and then

:18:16. > :18:23.But the British are also teaching them the importance

:18:24. > :18:34.of recovering evidence that might lead to prosecutions.

:18:35. > :18:36.Among those being trained are former poachers,

:18:37. > :18:42.Ulrich says, as a boy, he used to hunt elephants

:18:43. > :18:49.That used to be tolerated but not any more.

:18:50. > :18:51.These days, the greatest threat to these elephants is not

:18:52. > :18:57.the locals but criminal gangs, who operate across the border.

:18:58. > :19:03.We are faced with organised crime cartels, heavily armed.

:19:04. > :19:15.And now we're in a situation where, in some of our national

:19:16. > :19:24.Even with a global ban on the sale of ivory,

:19:25. > :19:34.And, hidden away in these forests, these elephants are still easy prey.

:19:35. > :19:40.Now with the rest of the sport, here's Katherine Downes

:19:41. > :19:52.Good evening. We are starting with cricket.

:19:53. > :19:54.England's batsmen have been struggling in the gloom

:19:55. > :19:59.in Manchester - they've been losing wickets aplenty on this third

:20:00. > :20:02.day of the final Test against South Africa but they do

:20:03. > :20:04.have a healthy lead, despite the rain.

:20:05. > :20:14.Pulses of energy moving the game onto England's and table with South

:20:15. > :20:18.Africa left on the platform. England were 136 runs further down the track

:20:19. > :20:27.in the first innings but soon hit the buffers. The game finally

:20:28. > :20:33.slowed. For a time it revolved around Jennings. Fighting for the

:20:34. > :20:37.runs that might keep him in the team against the flaws that might condemn

:20:38. > :20:45.him. He could not help himself. Test cricket is a ferocious beast.

:20:46. > :20:50.England four damn. For reassurance they looked to the still angelic

:20:51. > :20:54.face of their captain, Joe Root. Right now the nearest there is to

:20:55. > :21:06.guarantee of runs. Look at the expression. This on 49. Say it ain't

:21:07. > :21:08.so, Joe. Moeen Ali dropped once, no South African was catching this.

:21:09. > :21:16.Jonny Bairstow fielding several laws up. He may have put England out of

:21:17. > :21:22.reach. The weather has finally caught up with us at Old Trafford

:21:23. > :21:27.but not before an entertaining day's Test cricket. England in charge. Two

:21:28. > :21:30.scheduled days remaining. We may not need all of them. Looking at the

:21:31. > :21:32.forecast, we may not get all of them.

:21:33. > :21:35.The Premier League starts in just a week's time,

:21:36. > :21:37.and today Chelsea and Arsenal met in the Community Shield.

:21:38. > :21:40.So it's time to leave the room if you don't want to know

:21:41. > :21:43.the results as Match of the Day follows on BBC One.

:21:44. > :21:45.The game finished 1-1, with Arsenal winning 4-1

:21:46. > :21:50.on penalties against the Premier League Champions.
