:01:39. > :01:42.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
:01:42. > :01:45.Police have announced they are widening their inquiry into alleged
:01:45. > :01:47.child abuse by the BBC presenter Sir Jimmy Savile. Detectives say
:01:47. > :01:52.they have established lines of inquiry involving living people
:01:52. > :01:55.that now require formal investigation. More than 200
:01:55. > :01:59.potential victims have been identified and over 400 lines of
:01:59. > :02:03.inquiry are now being investigated. The children's charity, the NSPCC
:02:03. > :02:08.now say they think Sir Jimmy Savile could have been one of the most
:02:08. > :02:13.prolific sex offenders they have ever identified. Nick Higham is
:02:13. > :02:16.here. The police have announced this a short time ago, but what
:02:16. > :02:19.more do you know about the police investigation? Yes, it was
:02:19. > :02:22.impossible for the police to treat an inquiry into Jimmy Savile as a
:02:22. > :02:27.criminal investigation because he is dead. You can't charge a dead
:02:27. > :02:31.person, but what has has emerged is among the 200 victims of abuse who
:02:31. > :02:35.have come forward as a result of this investigation, there are some,
:02:35. > :02:37.the majority are connected with Jimmy Savile, but there are some
:02:37. > :02:42.connected with other people including clearly some living
:02:42. > :02:50.people which is why this has become a criminal investigation. And the
:02:50. > :02:53.police are now saying that Jimmy Savile was guilty of alleged abuse
:02:53. > :02:56.on an unprecedented scale and this investigation, the profile of it,
:02:56. > :03:02.has empowered what the police call a staggering number of victims to
:03:02. > :03:06.come forward to report sexual exploitation and the NSPCC too is
:03:06. > :03:10.reiterating that, they have had 136 calls which they have passed on to
:03:10. > :03:14.the police. And they say that many people are coming forward and
:03:14. > :03:18.reporting abuse in their childhood as a result of the investigation.
:03:18. > :03:21.So the police investigation widens and BBC investigations and there is
:03:21. > :03:28.talk of a Panorama on the subject? That's right. One of the things
:03:28. > :03:31.that happen now, the police have given the go-ahead for an internal
:03:31. > :03:34.inquiry into the custom and practises at the BBC at the time
:03:34. > :03:39.Jimmy Savile was employed, there is the possibility on Monday of a
:03:39. > :03:46.Panorama investigation. The Panorama programme is one that you
:03:46. > :03:51.are presenting on gambling ux but the -- but the Panorama team are
:03:51. > :03:56.working on an hour long into Jimmy Savile. It is not clear if that
:03:56. > :04:01.will be ready, if it is, the plan is to transmit that on Monday.
:04:01. > :04:05.Has there been any response from the BBC? The BBC said that Janet
:04:05. > :04:11.Smith will start start her inquiry and the police and the BBC are
:04:11. > :04:14.going to draw up a protocol so she can do her work without
:04:14. > :04:17.jeopardising any criminal investigation.
:04:17. > :04:19.It has been confirmed that energy companies will be forced to tell
:04:19. > :04:22.their customers about their cheapest deals. The energy
:04:22. > :04:25.regulator, Ofgem, has unveiled its plans to make suppliers list their
:04:25. > :04:27.best prices for gas and electricity on bills to make the market simpler,
:04:27. > :04:30.clearer and fairer. The announcement comes two days after
:04:30. > :04:32.the Prime Minister took energy companies by surprise announcing
:04:32. > :04:40.new legislation next month which will force firms to put all
:04:40. > :04:43.customers on the lowest tariffs. With energy bills heading ever
:04:43. > :04:48.higher, it is more important than ever to be on the best deal. But
:04:48. > :04:52.with hundreds of complex offers out there, today the industry regulator
:04:52. > :04:58.sought to make things easier. For competition to work, consumers
:04:58. > :05:01.need to face an effective choice. That doesn't mean a choice of a
:05:01. > :05:04.bamboozling array of different tariffs. It means they can have a
:05:04. > :05:08.choice they can understand. Ofgem says tariffs and bills need
:05:08. > :05:13.to get simpler and clearer. So there will be fewer tariffs. Some
:05:13. > :05:17.will be banned altogether. Customers will be alerted to
:05:17. > :05:22.cheaper deals when they get their bills. There will be new standards
:05:22. > :05:26.of conduct for the firms backed up by the threat of fintion. -- fines.
:05:26. > :05:29.It can't come too soon for Ian Savile from Warrington. He switched
:05:29. > :05:31.from his energy company when he realised it hadn't been straight
:05:31. > :05:38.with him. I signed up to everything that
:05:38. > :05:43.would get my tariff down, dual fuel, direct debit and online billing. It
:05:43. > :05:46.was only when I started to look into the price comparison sites
:05:47. > :05:50.that I realised there was a lower tariff.
:05:50. > :05:55.The proposals have been wk today and -- welcomed today and they
:05:55. > :05:58.should be in place next year. On the face of it, they seem seem to
:05:59. > :06:02.fall short of what the Government has been promising this week.
:06:02. > :06:06.On Wednesday, the Prime Minister said the Government would legislate
:06:06. > :06:10.so the companies have to give customers their lowest tariff.
:06:10. > :06:15.He was accused of throwing the industry into chaos.
:06:15. > :06:19.Ministers have stopped short of repeating that initial pledge. As
:06:19. > :06:22.for the big suppliers, they are trying to work out what the
:06:22. > :06:28.Government means. But they know there are big changes ahead.
:06:28. > :06:33.We believe the proposals of Ofgem are challenging, yes there is no
:06:33. > :06:37.two-ways about that, but we are on the way to a more simpler market
:06:37. > :06:42.than was the case a while ago. The announcements this week should
:06:42. > :06:46.mean more of us are on the right deals, but that won't stop energy
:06:46. > :06:49.prices from moving ever higher. Our political correspondent, Chris
:06:49. > :06:52.Mason, is in Westminster. The Prime Minister took energy companies by
:06:52. > :06:57.surprise on Wednesday, but the assumption must be that he had some
:06:57. > :07:02.idea of what the energy regulator was going to come up with? We put
:07:02. > :07:05.that question to Downing Street to the Prime Minister's official
:07:05. > :07:10.spokeswoman, we didn't get a specific answer, but we were told
:07:10. > :07:14.that the Government has been in communication with Ofgem and
:07:14. > :07:16.ministers insist that what we have heard about this morning is
:07:16. > :07:19.complimentary to what the Government is suggesting because
:07:19. > :07:24.they want to help bring bills down and they want to make bills more
:07:24. > :07:28.clear, but critics will say it is con dicttry rather than
:07:28. > :07:31.complimentary because the regulator can enforce the energy companies to
:07:31. > :07:34.change their practises without new legislation and the Government
:07:34. > :07:38.insists there will be new legislation. They hope that that
:07:38. > :07:41.will ensure that people can get lower prices. The other challenge
:07:41. > :07:46.for Downing Street is keeping all of the coalition on board. The
:07:46. > :07:50.Energy Secretary, Ed Davey was asked this morning to endorse what
:07:50. > :07:57.the Prime Minister has had to say over the last 48 hours. He refused
:07:57. > :08:02.to do so. He didn't contradict what the Prime Minister said, but there
:08:02. > :08:06.appears to be some difference in what those two gentlemen believe.
:08:06. > :08:13.The Energy Bill is coming within the next couple of weeks. Finding
:08:13. > :08:17.the simple is complex and communicating it very difficult.
:08:17. > :08:23.For more information on plans to simplify simplify energy tariffs,
:08:23. > :08:26.A taxi driver has admitted murdering 22-year-old Sian
:08:26. > :08:30.O'Callaghan 18 months after she disappeared from a night club in
:08:30. > :08:34.Swindon. Father of three, Christopher Halliwell, pleaded
:08:34. > :08:41.guilty to the charge at Bristol Crown Court. Our correspondent, Jon
:08:41. > :08:44.Kay, is there. Jon. Yes, Sian O'Callaghan's boyfriend
:08:44. > :08:49.and family have been sitting in Bristol Crown Court behind me
:08:49. > :08:52.listening to this moment in the case. Christopher Halliwell a 48-
:08:53. > :08:57.year-old mini-cab driver from Swindon has pleaded guilty to
:08:57. > :09:02.Sian's murder in March last year. He, 48 years old and a father of
:09:02. > :09:07.three. Sian was 22 years old. She had been out to a nightclub with a
:09:07. > :09:11.group of friends in March last year in Swindon's Old Town. She decided
:09:11. > :09:15.to walk home on her own after having a few drinks. Her boyfriend
:09:15. > :09:19.told her to get a cab back because he thought she would be safer.
:09:19. > :09:23.Christopher Halliwell, we have heard today, had been driving round
:09:23. > :09:28.that night, circling in Swindon, he picked Sian up, he drove her to the
:09:28. > :09:32.Savernake Forest about ten miles south of Swindon. There he sexually
:09:32. > :09:35.assaulted her and stabbed her twice in the back of the head. Blood was
:09:35. > :09:39.found in his cab later by the police. You might remember that
:09:39. > :09:42.thousands of local people turned out to search the forest looking
:09:43. > :09:46.for Sian's body at the time. What is happening at the moment, the
:09:46. > :09:49.prosecution are outlining the case as they have it against Christopher
:09:49. > :09:53.Halliwell. That information is being given to the judge so she can
:09:53. > :09:59.consider it for her sentencing. Victim impact statements have been
:09:59. > :10:03.read out by members of Sian's family, describing their loss. Her
:10:03. > :10:09.boyfriend said that her murder meant his heart had been ripped out.
:10:09. > :10:12.He felt his life has been destroyed. The defence will give any
:10:12. > :10:17.mitigating circumstances in court later this afternoon and then the
:10:17. > :10:20.judge will decide on statements and sentence and we expect we will get
:10:20. > :10:24.that and more information as the day goes by. Sophie.
:10:24. > :10:26.Jon Kay, thank you very much. European Union leaders have taken
:10:27. > :10:32.another step towards forming a banking union in the countries that
:10:32. > :10:34.use the euro. At talks in Brussels which lasted into the early hours
:10:34. > :10:37.of the morning, they agreed a timetable for bringing the
:10:37. > :10:42.eurozone's 6,000 banks under the supervision of the European Central
:10:42. > :10:48.Bank. It could be up and running by next year. Our Europe correspondent,
:10:48. > :10:54.Matthew Price, reports. Good afternoon, Sophie. What we know now
:10:54. > :10:57.as you have just said that is by the 1st January, within two-and-a-
:10:57. > :11:01.half months, if they stick to this agreement, they hope to have to
:11:01. > :11:05.have put in place the rules and the regulations that would allow that
:11:05. > :11:08.banking supervisor to be set-up. The idea is having the ECB have
:11:08. > :11:11.oversight over the banks in the eurozone would stop them getting
:11:11. > :11:16.into the mess they are in at the moment. The mess that has helped to
:11:16. > :11:20.create the eurozone debt crisis, but what they agreed in the early
:11:20. > :11:25.hours of this morning in and of itself won't be enough to solve the
:11:26. > :11:29.There was agreement here, enough to put a spring in the step of the
:11:29. > :11:34.leaders this morning, but it is an agreement that requires more
:11:34. > :11:38.difficult negotiations, no one is over playing it.
:11:38. > :11:41.TRANSLATION: There is an agreement. A good one. We have got a time
:11:41. > :11:45.frame. They worked through the early hours
:11:45. > :11:49.as did the Brussels Press Pack trying to fix the single currency.
:11:49. > :11:54.Part of that fix is to set-up a a system to oversee banks in the euro
:11:54. > :11:58.area, a so-called banking union. The first step is to have a single
:11:58. > :12:02.supervisor for banks to oversee their activitys, by the end of the
:12:02. > :12:10.year, they know promise to have put in place the right laws for this to
:12:10. > :12:12.happen. The Germans suggest that might slip. TRANSLATION: It is
:12:12. > :12:16.really ambitious to try and establish the legal framework
:12:16. > :12:20.quickly. We shouldn't disappoint markets, by changing short-term
:12:20. > :12:24.announcements again and again. For those not in the euro, these
:12:24. > :12:28.are uncertain times. Britain supports the banking union, but
:12:28. > :12:32.wants safeguards to protect its own financial sector in the City of
:12:32. > :12:36.London. And what of Britain's relationship with the EU? As euro
:12:37. > :12:41.countries get more integrated, where does Britain fit in?
:12:41. > :12:47.Ministers say publicly there is no problem, but as one Finnish
:12:47. > :12:52.minister put it here, as if the UK is on the sidelines waving bye-bye
:12:52. > :12:57.as the EU boat sets sail. I don't accept that for a minute.
:12:57. > :13:01.Am I happy with the status quo in Europe? No, I am not. There are
:13:01. > :13:04.changes we need. As the eurozone develops and integrates which is
:13:04. > :13:06.bound to happen, there are opportunities opening up for what I
:13:06. > :13:10.have said should be a new settlement between Britain and
:13:10. > :13:15.Europe, but I don't accept this idea that somehow Britain doesn't
:13:15. > :13:20.pull its weight. Indeed, one key point he has been pushing today is
:13:20. > :13:27.how to get Europe's economies growing again.
:13:27. > :13:30.For the big picture here, is of a Continent deep in debt. Its
:13:30. > :13:40.economies stagnating as its populations age, resolving that
:13:40. > :13:41.
:13:41. > :13:44.And just one quick foot note. At the moment, vifers seem to have --
:13:44. > :13:52.investors seem to have more confidence that the euro currency
:13:52. > :13:56.area is not going to split up. It has taken the pressure pressure off
:13:56. > :14:01.the politicians who have to take the difficult decisions as one
:14:01. > :14:06.official in Brussels put it this week, they only make the difficult
:14:06. > :14:09.decisions when the pressure is Greek and British police
:14:09. > :14:12.investigating the disappearance of the toddler Ben Needham more than
:14:12. > :14:15.20 years ago have started searching a mound of earth close to where he
:14:15. > :14:24.went missing. Ben was just 21- months-old when he vanished on the
:14:24. > :14:28.Greek island of Kos in July 1991. On a hillside on a Greek island,
:14:28. > :14:34.blue and white British police tape is being used to mark the area
:14:34. > :14:39.where a British toddler's body may lie. Ben Needham vanished here in
:14:39. > :14:42.1991. Was he the victim of an abduction or an accident? There are
:14:42. > :14:46.concerns he may have fallen under earth and rubble being moved in
:14:46. > :14:51.building work at the time. And so more than a dozen UK police
:14:51. > :14:56.officers are here to investigate. We have got more technology. We
:14:56. > :15:02.have got access to better equipment. We have got better trained staff.
:15:02. > :15:05.And we are in a position where we can do a far more indepth search
:15:05. > :15:10.today than we were able to do back in 1991.
:15:10. > :15:13.This is the spot where Ben Needham was last seen alive 21 years ago.
:15:13. > :15:18.For the first time in over two decades, police have come here to
:15:18. > :15:28.search the area in great detail. Can they solve the mystery of Ben
:15:28. > :15:32.
:15:32. > :15:36.His mother has always believed Ben is still alive, but she has now
:15:36. > :15:42.admitted this operation has planted doubts in her mind, but if the
:15:42. > :15:46.search finds nothing, a combination of agony and hope for her. For the
:15:46. > :15:53.next two days, British police and Greek search teams will be working
:15:53. > :15:58.hard to try to prove his or disproved the theory that Ben is
:15:58. > :16:01.buried on this hillside. The Court of Appeal has ruled that
:16:01. > :16:11.some families of British soldiers killed in Iraq can sue the Ministry
:16:11. > :16:13.
:16:13. > :16:16.of Defence for negligence. The cases concern a soldier who died in
:16:16. > :16:18.a "friendly fire" incident and threekilled when his lightly
:16:18. > :16:20.armoured Snatch Land Rover were attacked. The government had argued
:16:20. > :16:25.that decisions about battlefield equipment were for politicians and
:16:25. > :16:29.commanders, not the law courts. This is probably a partial victory
:16:29. > :16:35.for the families and a partial setback for the Ministry of Defence.
:16:35. > :16:41.It dates back to when British forces were fighting in Iraq. The
:16:41. > :16:45.first case was in 2003, where a British tank fired mistakenly on
:16:45. > :16:49.another British tanks. One died and two were injured. The survivors and
:16:49. > :16:54.families argued if they had had the right equipment, this would not
:16:54. > :17:00.have happened, and therefore, negligence. Three soldiers were
:17:00. > :17:05.then killed in three separate incidents when they are lightly
:17:05. > :17:10.armoured Land Rovers went over IEDs, and they were killed. Their
:17:10. > :17:15.relatives are arguing both in terms of negligence against the MoD and
:17:15. > :17:19.human rights. Today's ruling by the Court of Appeal has upheld the
:17:19. > :17:22.right to campaign for negligence but not human rights.
:17:22. > :17:26.What implications could these cases have?
:17:26. > :17:31.This could throw it back to the High Court. Some would say it would
:17:31. > :17:35.take it back to where it was in 2011. It opens the way for the
:17:35. > :17:40.families to argue this. If they are successful, and they are a long way
:17:40. > :17:44.off, but if they win their case, namely that the Ministry of Defence
:17:44. > :17:47.has a case to answer in terms of duty of care, it could

:29:01. > :29:08.Through the central part of England, the Midlands and northern England,
:29:08. > :29:16.it should be a bright afternoon. Not very pleasant across the
:29:16. > :29:21.northern part of Scotland, except in the far north-west. Brighter for
:29:21. > :29:27.much of Northern Ireland, the odd shower in the east. It should be
:29:27. > :29:35.fine for much of Wales and south- west England. Sunshine, very light
:29:35. > :29:39.winds. It will feel really quite pleasant, about as high as an
:29:39. > :29:44.average temperature in the West for this type of year. That
:29:44. > :29:48.temperatures will struggle for the East there. Not too pleasant in the
:29:48. > :29:53.south-east England for the evening rush and it will link up for parts
:29:53. > :29:57.of tonight, eventually clearing away. In between, the fog will
:29:57. > :30:07.become more widespread tonight, so watch out for that early tomorrow
:30:07. > :30:07.
:30:07. > :30:13.Tomorrow, it will be a dull start of most of us but the fog will
:30:13. > :30:15.gradually clear. It might take a while. Showers may be across Wales
:30:16. > :30:25.and the south-west of England through the afternoon, but
:30:25. > :30:29.otherwise, largely dried. -- dry. The rain has another go at coming
:30:29. > :30:35.back into the south-east on Saturday night! It should clear
:30:35. > :30:41.away again on Sunday, so the same sort of picture. Overnight fog,
:30:41. > :30:47.sunny spells gradually breaking through. Pleasant enough. It looks
:30:47. > :30:57.like we will keep the mild weather into the early part of next week.
