official investigation into claims that millions of consumers have paid | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
too much for their gas and electricity. New evidence that | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
profits and prices have risen, and competition has not worked as well | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
for consumers. Energy bosses warn of delays to investment - and the | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
possibility of blackouts. With new power stations, there is the risk | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
that at certain times of the year we will have to do have some sort of | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
demand constraint. We'll be looking at the implications for the industry | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
- and for the consumer. Also this lunchtime. What is going on there? | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
How many children have you got? Failed by police - the Home | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
Secreatry demands urgent changes for victims of domestic violence. Being | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
overweight has become the new normal and England's Chief Medical Officer | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
warns that most parents are unable to recognise if their child has a | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
weight problem. The dramatic moment a helicopter rescues a 4-year-old | :01:07. | :01:09. | |

emergency and maternity care in the capital ARE raising standards. | :01:41. | :01:55. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The energy market | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
is to face a full-scale investigation into whether consumers | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
are getting a fair deal. The big six energy firms which control around | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
95% of Britain's energy supply market have been referred to the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Competition and Markets Authority by the energy watchdog, OFGEM. The | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
inquiry could last up to two years and could lead to companies being | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
broken up. The companies argue that a lengthy inquiry will delay | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
investment and could lead to blackouts. Our industry | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
correspondent John Moylan reports. It is an industry that touches | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
everyone of us but in recent years, consumers have seen tariffs rise and | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
profits at the suppliers grow. Now, admit growing mistrust, the energy | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
market is to face a competition investigation. There is evidence | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
that profits have risen, prices have risen, and competition has not | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
worked as well for consumers. On that basis, it is vital to rebuild | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
trust in consumers, and to persuade consumers that the price they pay | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
for energy is fair. A full investigation that clears the air, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
that looks as all areas, is the best way to restore consumer trust. The | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
move follows a review of the market that found low levels of switching, | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
not enough people shop around. It highlighted the dominance of the big | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
six suppliers. There was evidence to of tacit Corporation. Dash-macro | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
coordination. It has derailed, look. Richard Jackson believes it is | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
time the industry got back on track. He switched energy supplies several | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
times that is not convinced he is getting the best deal for his | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
family. I personally feel very annoyed and confused when I look at | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
the tariffs, and I do not feel I should have to switch every six | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
months. I do not want to make sure I am on a decent deal. The big six | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
firms broadly welcome this new probe but feel it could lead to companies | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
being broken up. The boss of the UK's the guest supplier told me that | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
he believes investment could be put on hold. If we do not get new power | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
stations built, there is the risk that at certain times of the year we | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
will have to have some sort of demand constraint and that is bad | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
news for customers. The energy market has become a political | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
battlefield. Labour wants to freeze prices and reset the market. The | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
energy secretary insisted that a full investigation was the right | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
option. This is not a quick fix but it is the right way to restore | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
people's trust that the energy markets are working for their | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
benefit. It is the right way to create long-term certainty for | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
investment. Instead of defending the big six and asking for their | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
cooperation, why does he not enforce a price freeze right now? This | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
investigation will take the politics out of the energy row, and seek to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
clear the air once and for all. It is a landmark moment that food | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
change the energy landscape. Well, John's here now. Some people have | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
been calling for this for years. Yes, they have. We had a review | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
which gave us the reasons why they are going ahead with it. There are | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
startling fact. We tell profits, it has gone up from 233 million to 1.1 | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
billion in just over four years. 34% of consumers distrust the energy | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
firms. We heard this line about tacit coordination, the energy firms | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
raising their prices at the same time. We have heard these arguments | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
before. If you look back to the autumn, the whole row over energy | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
prices, it reached extraordinary levels, and I think most people | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
think that billions have been wiped off the energy companies, and people | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
have decided that the only way to go forward is to reset the market and | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
have a full probe of the industry. There are risks in all of this will | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
stop the government insists there are reforms in place to allow | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
investors to come in and build power plants, but we heard the boss of | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
British Gas telling us that investment has been on hold for some | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
time and it could be on hold for another two years. Our chief | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
political correspondent Norman Smith is in Westminster. Will this take | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
the political heat out of the argument? My sense is that it may | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
have the opposite effect. Why? Because of the politics. The whole | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
issue is being long grassed because this enquiry will not report until | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
2016, and then they have to use government legislation which could | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
take two years. Fundamental reform of the energy market could be years | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
off. The energy industry itself is up in arms because they say that | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
creates uncertainty, deters investment and damages security. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
This lunchtime, the Conservative chairman of the energy select | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
committee said such uncertainty could even lead to the lights going | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
out. Thank you, Norman. And you can find out more about the competition | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
inquiry on the BBC website. Victims of domestic violence are routinely | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
being failed by police forces across England and Wales. A report by HM | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Inspectorate of Constabulary criticised poor evidence gathering | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
and said there was an "alarming" and ineffective response to victims' | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
complaints. The Home Secretary, Theresa May has called for urgent | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
changes and has said she will personally oversee improvements. | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
June Kelly reports. A film which is part of one police force's Internet | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
campaign against domestic violence. They are actors but the 999 call is | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
real. What is going on there? How many children have you got? We spoke | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
to a mother of two whose husband tried to strangle her. She was ready | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
to testify against him in court but she was let down by the police. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Having made that decision, and having mentally prepared myself for | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
it, I got a phone call to say that the police had not put my case | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
together, and the CPS would not take it forward to prosecution. That was | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
devastating. Every fortnight in England and Wales, three women are | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
killed by their current or ex-partner. Men are also victims of | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
domestic violence. The report says that in most forces it is a priority | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
on paper but not in practice. That is what the leading domestic | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
violence charity, Refuge, has been saying for years. We need a huge | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
cultural change around domestic violence. It needs to be seen as | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
real crime. It is just as serious as any other violent crime, if not more | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
serious because the attacker has a key to the front door. Among the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
issues highlighted are a lack of leadership by senior officers, what | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
are described as alarming weaknesses when it comes to collecting | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
evidence, and some victims who feel they are not believed. This is | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
appalling, we need urgent action, and I hope you lead that action. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Police targeted football fans with their campaigns. There is often an | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
increase in attacks after matches. This is a poster used by the Greater | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Manchester force. We think we need to be more ambitious and a different | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
system of protection through the courts which will get us in front of | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
the magistrates much quicker, without requiring a victim to make a | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
complaint. This will allow a range of different professionals to give | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
evidence. Like other police leaders, he says the focus has to be | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
on all parts of the criminal justice system, not just the police. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
A Thai satellite has spotted about 2-300 objects floating in the | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Southern Indian Ocean - close to the area being searched in the hunt for | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. The objects vary in size, but some | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
were thought to be up to 16 metres long. They were seen in a region 200 | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
kilometres from where a French satellite spotted 122 objects last | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
weekend. The search itself is partially suspended again today | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
because of bad weather with planes grounded but ships continuing their | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
efforts. The IT firm, ATOS, which has been assessing whether benefits | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
claimants are fit to work, is quitting its contract. Its | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
replacement will be appointed early next year. Disability campaigners | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
have criticised ATOS' tests for being "ridiculously harsh." ATOS | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
said last month it no longer wanted to undertake fitness to work tests. | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
It was reported its staff were receiving death threats. Being | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
overweight has become the new normal in England - that's according to the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Chief Medical Officer. In her annual report on the state of the nation's | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
health, Dame Sally Davies says the majority of adults are now | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
overweight or obese. The report also says that most parents of overweight | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
children are unable to recognise that their child has a weight | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
problem. Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Burning of | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
some excess energy at a sports centre near Wigan. Many of these | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
children have been identified as being overweight. This is a chance | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
for them to get some exercise in a friendly, relaxed environment. It is | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
nice, and fun. It is nice to hit balls. Exercise, losing weight, it | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
really helps. It is fun. 20 or 30 years ago, and exercise class like | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
this one would have been unheard of. Now it is much more common. Part of | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
the problem is that parents have problems identifying when their own | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
children are at risk of becoming overweight. The report highlights | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
the rapid growth in the number of overweight and obese people in the | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
last 30 years. In England, two thirds of adults are classified as | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
being overweight or obese. A third of children are heavier than they | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
should be. Three quarters of parents of overweight children failed to | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
identify when their truth and have put on weight. The average weight is | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
overweight. We need to protect people from being unhealthy will | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
stop we need them to understand that being overweight is unhealthy, and | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
we need to help them understand what they can do about it. Weight if they | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
sensitive issue for children who risk being bullied. If you get a | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
letter saying your child is overweight, the first thing you feel | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
is that they are trying to say you are bad parents, and that is not the | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
case. They can have a healthy diet but if they are not active, they put | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
on weight. Being overweight increases the risk of diabetes, | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
strokes and cancer. If people do not recognise that their weight is a | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
problem, they can do nothing about it and I can have serious | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
consequences for the health of the nation in years to come. The first | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
stage of the overhaul in the pensions industry, announced in the | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
Budget, has come into force. It means some people will be given | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
greater access to their pension pots. Our personal finance | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
correspondent Simon Gompertz reports. The government says 400,000 | :13:42. | :13:51. | |
workers in the process of retiring will be able to take advantage of | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the relaxation of tax rules starting today. 60-year-old Paul Lester says | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
it will polish up his finances nicely. He does not need the | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
Lamborghini one minister said people would be able to spend the money on. | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
He will spend more time on his Yamaha, bought by cashing in his | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
?3,500 pot of pension money, most of which would have gone in tax before. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
It's going to make a huge difference to me because I can now invest it, | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
spend it, do what I want to do with it, which is the whole point of | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
saving it to start with. If what you want is a regular income, you can | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
now take out more than before per year, and thus avoid having to buy | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
an annuity. If you want to cash it all in and have less than ?30,000 | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
saved in different pension pots, you can take it all out at once subject | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
to normal income tax. You can cash in pots with less than ?10,000, | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
however much you have put by. All this is designed for those like | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
Paul, setting out with those pensions, who have saved something | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
in an investment fund, not in the salary linked pensions that nurses, | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
teachers and some others get. So pensioner households will be revved | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
up by these new freedoms to the tune of what could be billions of pounds | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
a year. That brings with it the danger that they could make the | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
wrong investment choices, they could even be ripped off. People are going | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
to need a lot of help and support to really think through some of the | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
implications about whether they should take the money as a lump sum, | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
whether they might end up paying more tax that way if they took it as | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
a lump sum rather than an annuity. The government has promised | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
face-to-face guidance once the full reforms kicks in next year. From the | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
age of 55, there will be no upper limit on how much you can take out | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
your pots of pension money. Local councils in England have been | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
told by the government to look again into allegations that Jimmy Savile | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
carried out sexual abuse in 21 schools and children's homes. Tom | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
Symonds has this report. The ripples from his life of abuse | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
continue to spread. Jimmy Savile preyed on his victims in TV studios | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
and hospitals, but also children's homes and schools. Now, councils in | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
England are being asked to look closely at them and what happened | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
and why. The 21 institutions named to date include children's homes | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
like parklands in Gloucestershire, now closed. It provided | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
accommodation for young people from the 1950s until 2002. The list also | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
names schools, including Sevenoaks in Kent, an independent school, | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
whose board of governors has been asked to carry out an | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
investigation. We welcome any investigation that will reveal how | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
widespread this abuse was perpetrated, and at the end of all | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
these different enquiries, there must be some drawing together, says | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
lessons can be learned, and we ensure it doesn't happen again. It | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
is thought no new allegations have come to light, instead, local | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
authorities will follow up accounts which were given to police and | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
children's charities in 2012, when the investigations began in two | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Jimmy Savile's activities. Allegations go back to the 1960s | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
until the 1980s. Even at those institutions still open, most | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
potential witnesses will have moved on or died. The government says it | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
wants to make sure wherever possible lessons are learned. | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
Our top story this lunchtime. The big six energy companies face | :17:37. | :17:39. | |

too much for their gas and electricity. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
And, still to come: 100 days to go. The countdown starts to the world's | :17:46. | :17:48. | |

The emissions from modern society that are heating the climate are | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
also making the seas more acidic, killing off corals and other | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
organisms. Scientists are due to report next week that about a third | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
of our CO2 emissions are mixing into the water from the atmosphere. The | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
report to the UN, seen by BBC's Newsnight, says the last time the | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
sea changed this rapidly there were mass extinctions. Our environment | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
analyst Roger Harrabin reports from a research site off the coast of | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Papua New Guinea. Coral reefs, the most diverse | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
natural systems in the seas. Under threat from the way we live. | :18:49. | :19:05. | |
Emissions of CO2 from our homes, cars and power stations are | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
unquestionably changing the chemistry of sea water, according to | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
a UN report next week. We need to know how the oceans will react, as | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
more of the CO2 from human society dissolves in the sea water, making | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
it more acidic. That is what has brought us here, to this remote spot | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
off the tip of Papua New Guinea, to see a unique site that offers a | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
glimpse into the future of the seas. The sea bed is bubbling. The gas is | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
pure carbon dioxide, from volcanic rocks. The bubbles turn the sea | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
water locally more acidic. Part of the site shows the same level of | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
acidity predicted for the world's oceans later this century, as | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
mankind continues to emit CO2. It seems, here, between a third and | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
half of corals cannot survive the change. In Australia, a new ?20 | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
million centre employs industrial technology to predict how corals | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
will react to higher CO2, and high temperatures. In this experiment, we | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
have corals and sponges from different species. We are trying to | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
tease apart the combined effects of ocean acidification, and elevated | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
sea temperature. Sponges like this might thrive under | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
high CO2. But other key creatures are likely to be wiped out. This is | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
a baby coral. It is very sensitive to acidification, it cannot grow, | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
and will often die in areas of high CO2. One example of many, and | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
scientists are finding, more and more, that a lot of marine species | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
and ecosystems are likely to be highly affected by ocean | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
acidification. Back at the volcanic site, it is | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
clear the branching corals that shelter fish cannot cope with extra | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
CO2. They are missing from the reef. The UN scientists warn our emissions | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
could make countless species of sea life extinct. | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
You can see that report in full on Newsnight, tonight on BBC Two, at | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
10:30pm. A mine manager has gone on trial in | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
connection with the deaths of four miners in a Swansea Valley colliery. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
Malcolm Fyfield was the manager of Gleision drift mine, when it flooded | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
in September 2011. He denies all charges. Hywel Griffith is at | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
Swansea Crown Court. When the four men became trapped in | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
the narrow galleries of the Gleision mine, their families, the country | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
hoped they could be reached. When their bodies were recovered, they | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
were found filled with dirty water and silt. Today, the mine manager | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
who was with them and the directors of the company went on trial accused | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
of being responsible for their deaths. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
At the mouth of the mine, rescue teams were left exhausted after | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
spending more than 24 hours trying, in vain, to reach the four men | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
trapped below. Garry Jenkins, Philip Hill, David Powell and Charles | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Breslin, were all experienced miners, all were fathers, all | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
drowned 275 metres into the colliery. The manager of the mine, | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
Malcolm Fyfield, was also injured in the collapse. He arrived at court to | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
stand trial accused of causing the deaths through gross negligence. In | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
court, he sat silently as the jury heard he still suffered from | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
post-traumatic stress disorder. The jury was told there were seven men | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
underground on the morning and old wall collapsed allowing water to | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
flood through. The sound was deafening, like a jet engine. The | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
miners shouted out one, but only three made it out. When he came to | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
the surface, Malcolm Fyfield said simply, they have gone. The rescue | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
workers who tried to reach the miners had to dig through tonnes of | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
silt and rock with their hands. The trial will centre on conditions deep | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
underground, and how much was known by the manager and the company about | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
the risk of a flood. The families of the miners have waited two and a | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
half years for the trial to begin. They hope that, over the next three | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
months, there questions will finally be answered. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
The jury had been shown a detailed plan of the mine underground which | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
became soaked in the rescue attempt. The three managers deny the charges | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
against them. 90 people are still missing after a | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
massive mudslide in Washington state on Saturday. Dramatic footage from | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
the small town near Seattle has emerged of the helicopter rescue of | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
a four-year-old boy who was pulled from the roof of his submerged home. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
Our correspondent David Willis has this report. | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
Plucked to safety from a sea of mud. A four-year-old boy somehow managed | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
to survive a massive mudslide. Jacob Spillers was on the second floor, | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
when his home was hit by a deadly tide of mud and rock. His father and | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
three siblings were downstairs, and are still missing. A fellow survivor | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
said when she came across him, he was scared and shivering. I stripped | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
him down and bundled him in a blanket and said, I am grandma, I am | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
going to take care of you, we are going to find your mummy. Searching | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
the mile-square site of this disaster continues apace. 90 bodies | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
could lie buried beneath the wreckage. Finding them all could | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
take months. We need to take a step back, and look at the magnitude of | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
what happened. The debris is huge, it is complex, it is dangerous. And | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
I don't think we have a lot of answers. All I can definitively say | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
is we have the number at 90 and we are going to pursue it as much as we | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
can. There are pockets of mud at 40 feet | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
deep. Factor in the presence of toxic chemicals from crushed cars, | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
that amounts to a difficult and dangerous recovery operation. The | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
rescuers' biggest problem now, the weather. It has been raining | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
constantly these last few days. That has not only hampered the recovery | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
operation, it has also raised the possibility of further mudslides | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
here. It's 100 days to go before the | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
world's most famous cycle race comes to the UK. The Tour de France starts | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
in Leeds on July the 5th, and is expected to attract up to three | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
million spectators. It will take in some of the best-known hills in | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
British cycling, including the longest continuous climb in England, | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
Cragg Vale. Our chief sports correspondent Dan Roan is in | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
Harrogate in Yorkshire. Right here in Harrogate is where the | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
first day of the Tour de France will finish, the second day goes from | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
York to Sheffield, then Cambridge to London. This is a cultural | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
phenomenon as well as a sporting one. We saw the launch of an arts | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
festival in the build-up to the biggest event Yorkshire has seen. | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
Yorkshire is gearing up for the ride of its life, on the horizon, the | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
start of the Tour de France, looming into view. In Harrogate, the | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
countdown began and those who represent the region say it is a | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
once in a lifetime opportunity. It is so exciting, this is a massive | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
event, hundreds of millions of people watch the Tour de France. For | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
Yorkshire to be able to put ourselves on the map nationally and | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
in Europe and across the planet is a fantastic opportunity. With the Tour | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
de France won by British riders for the last two years, the sport has | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
established itself. The event coming here provides another boost, Ilkley, | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
home to the biggest cycling club now in the country. 1200 members, 40% of | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
which are women. Rides go out every day of the week. What it is doing | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
for Yorkshire is raising awareness, and kick-starting people using the | :27:38. | :27:46. | |
outdoors. When the world's cyclists ride here it will showcase this | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
dramatic scenery to a global audience and the economy is set to | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
benefit. The route cuts directly through this farm in Holmfirth. With | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
millions of spectators expected, they intend to capitalise. We have | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
provision for around 1000 tenths. Would that be a boost to your | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
finances? A big boost if it comes off and people come to visit. | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
Interest from the home of the event is growing, one French cycling | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
legend rode the route this week. It may be in Yorkshire for two days, | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
but the feel-good factor could last for years. | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
Organisers hope Yorkshire will benefit from a 100 missing pound | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
boost to its economy and today a new three-day long international race on | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
the cycling candour has been announced, to take place from next | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
year. A sporting legacy as well as a financial one. | :28:49. | :28:50. | |
President Obama is at the Vatican for his first meeting with Pope | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
Francis. Although they disagree on many issues, including abortion and | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
gay marriage, they are expected to find common ground, when it comes to | :28:57. | :28:57. | |
the fight against global poverty. Time for a look at the weather. | :28:58. | :29:09. | |
We have seen just about everything fall from the sky is. Cold, easterly | :29:10. | :29:20. | |
winds are around. Temperatures will peak at around 20 degrees at the | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
weekend. High pressure is blocking weather fronts moving in from the | :29:26. | :29:32. | |
Atlantic. An area of low pressure is to the south-west. Quite a bit of | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
cloud is billowing up. A lot of it is shower cloud. We have seen heavy | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
showers already across the Midlands. We will see Hale and thunderstorm | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
mixed in. Not many showers across the far south-east of England. Not | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
too many showers the North West Wales. North-east England, a | :29:58. | :30:04. | |
miserable day, persistent outbreaks of rain, snow and thunderstorms. | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
Temperatures around the coast, five degrees. Northern Ireland, this is | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
where the best of the weather is. Dry conditions with sunshine. | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
Overnight, a band of rain will be slow moving across the North of | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
England. We could see an inch of rain. South-west England, further | :30:24. | :30:32. | |
thunderstorms. Maybe some snow over higher ground. On Friday, a cloudy | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
start. Bright smiles and scattered showers. The showers will form | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
across western areas of England and Wales, turning warmer across the | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
south-east of England with more sunshine. Temperatures reaching 15 | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
degrees. This weekend, an area of low pressure will move winds over | :30:55. | :31:02. | |
the British Isles. They will bring in milder air. Temperatures will | :31:03. | :31:09. | |
rise. Up to around 20 degrees probably across the eastern side of | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
England. But across the north-east of England, and Scotland, a | :31:15. | :31:23. | |
combination of low cloud, drizzle and missed practice over the coast. | :31:24. | :31:29. | |
It will be quite cold, around seven degrees. You can check out the | :31:30. | :31:34. | |

Now, a reminder of our top story this lunchtime. | :31:38. | :31:45. | |
The energy companies face official investigation into claims millions | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
of consumers have paid too much for their gas and electricity. | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
That's all from us. Now, on BBC One, it's | :31:51. | :31:51. |
