:01:41. > :01:43.News at one. The bodies of victims of Friday's helicopter crash in
:01:44. > :01:47.Glasgow have been removed from the scene of the accident. Members of
:01:48. > :01:50.the emergency services formed a guard of honour as they were taken
:01:51. > :01:53.away. At least nine people are known to have been killed when the police
:01:54. > :01:58.helicopter crashed into the roof of the packed pub. Teams are searching
:01:59. > :02:04.inside to ensure no-one else was killed. Our correspondent is at the
:02:05. > :02:09.scene for us now. We We have learned that the body of
:02:10. > :02:14.a ninth person was taken from the pub, just within the last hour.
:02:15. > :02:17.Firefighters as you mentioned there are painstakingly searching through
:02:18. > :02:21.the rubble of the pub, just in case there are any further victim, that
:02:22. > :02:26.has been made more difficult by the fact the roof collapsed just as they
:02:27. > :02:31.removed the remains of the helicopter. But removing that
:02:32. > :02:39.aircraft has been so key to this investigation. For a moment this
:02:40. > :02:43.morning, this city held its breath. In the still, damp December air, the
:02:44. > :02:48.helicopter which had come down with such force, was gently lifted away.
:02:49. > :02:53.Those who saw this crash say the aircraft fell like a stone. And now,
:02:54. > :02:57.the destruction and the scale of the challenge here, is plain to see. The
:02:58. > :03:01.body of the ninth person has now been removed from the scene, and
:03:02. > :03:07.taken to the Southern General Hospital for formal identification.
:03:08. > :03:14.In duers, the wreckage of the helicopter will be removed, and will
:03:15. > :03:18.be taken for detailed examination and investigation by the Air

:03:23. > :03:31.those desperate for news the pace of this operation has been frustrating.
:03:32. > :03:36.Last night, Marco's family came to is scene. Who were the people
:03:37. > :03:39.shouting? Did they get them out? We will never know the answer to that.
:03:40. > :03:44.The way things are going we are not getting an answer to anything. It is
:03:45. > :03:51.two days later and Mark is still in there. The ordinary guy in the
:03:52. > :03:54.street, to hell with health and safety.
:03:55. > :03:59.Gp but today, the extent of the devastation is becoming clearer. The
:04:00. > :04:02.removal of the fuselage intact should make the investigation
:04:03. > :04:05.easier, experts say three things could have brought down this
:04:06. > :04:11.helicopter, pilot error, mechanical failure, or engine problems.
:04:12. > :04:14.There is no black box onboard, Air Traffic Control data will give them
:04:15. > :04:19.something about the descent the the radar could see the helicopter over
:04:20. > :04:22.the city. There is a possibility with fuel supply problem but the
:04:23. > :04:25.eyewitness reports say the helicopter was spinning out of
:04:26. > :04:30.control, rather than descending rapidly, which would tend to point
:04:31. > :04:34.towards the tail row ter. This is the moment the families of those who
:04:35. > :04:38.died here have been hoping for, but also dreading.
:04:39. > :04:49.There is though, a great sense of the city of Glasgow standing
:04:50. > :04:54.alongside them, in support. Having spent several days at this
:04:55. > :04:57.scene, I can tell you the overwhelming emotion is ulter
:04:58. > :05:01.disbelief. When it comes to the removal of the helicopter, many
:05:02. > :05:06.people watched incredulous, I spent the morning with victims' families
:05:07. > :05:11.and survivors. A moment to set aside duty. And
:05:12. > :05:15.remember those lost. The hard exterior of this city has cracked
:05:16. > :05:22.and it is showing its scars. Five of the dead have been named.
:05:23. > :05:27.From the helicopter PCs the Mark Collins and Kirsty Nelis and David
:05:28. > :05:32.Traill. Simon McGee and Gary Arthur were killed in the pub. But there
:05:33. > :05:37.are still many missing, and a as survivors and victims families meet,
:05:38. > :05:44.the stress begins to show I want my dad out of there. It is a piece of
:05:45. > :05:48.machinery is more important. As the wreckage was finally lifted free, it
:05:49. > :05:56.was a moment for some to reflect on just how lucky they had been. I
:05:57. > :06:02.remember the seconds, I could not find my sister. How my gut felt, how
:06:03. > :06:08.sick I felt. Not knowing, it is just the not know, it is no knowing,
:06:09. > :06:14.where is my sister? And she's, you said the same. It is a huge thing in
:06:15. > :06:17.such a relatively small pub. We know the size of the pub. To see
:06:18. > :06:21.something that size. Copping out of that, just impacts even more, how
:06:22. > :06:26.lucky we are. The names of more victims are sure
:06:27. > :06:31.to merge over the coming day, along with so many questions.
:06:32. > :06:35.You saw the guard of honour as the bodies were being removed. Another
:06:36. > :06:39.time for the emergency services to come together, to stop and
:06:40. > :06:44.contemplate what has happened here. But now it is some time for the
:06:45. > :06:47.investigation and this afternoon we expect the Air Accidents
:06:48. > :06:50.Investigation Branch to be here and give some kind of update. This a
:06:51. > :06:57.time the city of Glasgow now want answers.
:06:58. > :07:00.Household fuel bills will rise less steeply than planned after the
:07:01. > :07:04.Government promised to cut the green taxes imposed on energy firms.
:07:05. > :07:08.British Gas and SSE say they will pass the sayings on to customer,
:07:09. > :07:14.meaning bills will be round ?50 lower than expected. Npower said its
:07:15. > :07:18.prices would not rise until 2015 unless there are increases in whale
:07:19. > :07:22.sale energy costs. Our industry correspondent reports.
:07:23. > :07:26.Energy bills have been soaring but at last there is some leaf. Today
:07:27. > :07:31.the big six firms have been responded to the Government's
:07:32. > :07:34.proposals which aim to knock ?50 after average annual bills We can
:07:35. > :07:39.say because of the measures we have taken, the average consumer will see
:07:40. > :07:42.a ?50 cut in their bill, and of course we were negotiating with
:07:43. > :07:46.companies to make sure they will pass that cut on to consumer, and
:07:47. > :07:52.you can hear we have been successful. So where do the savings
:07:53. > :07:56.come from? Round ?12 we pay through our bills to help vulnerable
:07:57. > :08:02.households will now be paid through general taxation. Cuts to a big
:08:03. > :08:07.energy efficiency scheme, called echo will deliver up to ?35. Another
:08:08. > :08:12.?5 is being saved in the cost of transporting energy to our homes.
:08:13. > :08:22.That gives a total saying of round ?53. It means the average dual fuel
:08:23. > :08:28.bill, current currently ?1385 will drop to ?1332. Still more than we
:08:29. > :08:33.were paying prior to the recent round of price rises. But when will
:08:34. > :08:37.it happen? Speaking in London this morning, the boss of British Gas's
:08:38. > :08:43.parent company confirmed that consumers would have to wait until
:08:44. > :08:47.January. Why wait until January to cut prices? We are doing what we
:08:48. > :08:50.can, when we can. This is a very important issue, clearly, and we are
:08:51. > :08:56.doing, bringing them down as fast as we can.
:08:57. > :09:03.As for the other firms, eon has yet to announce a rise this winter. EDF
:09:04. > :09:06.factored in a cut. Its 3.9% rise will come in in January. Scottish
:09:07. > :09:11.Power and npower indicate they will cut prices in the New Year, but SSE
:09:12. > :09:17.says it won't implement any cut until April.
:09:18. > :09:21.There is other measures too, including ?1,000 to spend on energy
:09:22. > :09:25.savings measures for new home buyers. Consumer groups welcomed the
:09:26. > :09:30.news but called on Government to go further. Labour criticised the plan
:09:31. > :09:32.They have done a smoke and mirrors deal rather than standing up to
:09:33. > :09:37.them. Only a Labour Government will stand up to the energy company, and
:09:38. > :09:42.freeze prices. St hopes these proposals will take the heat out of
:09:43. > :09:46.the energy row, but will a ?50 saving but enough to make that
:09:47. > :09:50.happen? Our chief political correspondent
:09:51. > :09:55.Norman Smith is in Westminster. This remains a controversial tricky issue
:09:56. > :10:00.for the Government. Yes, and ministers will hope that their plan
:10:01. > :10:05.to lop ?50 after our bill will go some way to take the steam out of
:10:06. > :10:10.the run away train that has been Ed Miliband's pledge to freeze energy
:10:11. > :10:15.bills for 20 months. The danger for the Government is this, it falls
:10:16. > :10:21.victim to what might be called shrugged shoulder syndrome. You and
:10:22. > :10:24.I shrug our should ires and say "Is that it? " People won't get a cheque
:10:25. > :10:29.back in the post from their energy company, their bill is not going to
:10:30. > :10:32.come down, it is doing to keep going up by more than inflation but not as
:10:33. > :10:36.much as it would otherwise have gone up to the tune of a saving of
:10:37. > :10:41.roughly about a pound a week, and some of the big energy companies are
:10:42. > :10:45.warning if network and wholesale costs go up energy bills may have to
:10:46. > :10:49.go up further. Now, ministers say, well, look, we are dealing with that
:10:50. > :10:54.part of the bill, we control. Namely the green bits and Bob, by the way
:10:55. > :10:57.we are not a branch of North Korea where we can tell private companies
:10:58. > :11:02.what they can do with price, however, they are warning there will
:11:03. > :11:06.be a competition review into the energy market in the New Year, to
:11:07. > :11:11.examine profits and prices made by the big six. In other words, if
:11:12. > :11:16.today's measures are not enough, to assuage public anger, we could see
