:01:59. > :02:05.Its parent company, Centrica, said the price rise
:02:06. > :02:08.is because of the increasing cost of transmitting energy to people's
:02:09. > :02:09.homes, and government environmental policies.
:02:10. > :02:12.The Government has indicated that it may still legislate to impose

:02:33. > :02:38.will stop but even if they turn the heating down, those on a standard
:02:39. > :02:42.variable tariffs will see their bills going up. After the increases
:02:43. > :02:47.announced today, the cost of an average dual fuel energy bill,
:02:48. > :02:53.electricity and gas, provided by British Gas, will be going up. It
:02:54. > :02:57.will now cost ?1120 a year, an increase of ?76 compared to last
:02:58. > :03:01.year. It is not the cheapest among the big players any more, but it is
:03:02. > :03:07.not the most expensive. British Gas says it does mean 3 million people
:03:08. > :03:12.will pay more for their energy, but another 5.3 million customers will
:03:13. > :03:15.not be affected. British Gas's owner Centrica says it has little choice
:03:16. > :03:19.but to increase bills because of the cost of providing electricity in
:03:20. > :03:24.particular which has increased sharply. The reason for this is the
:03:25. > :03:28.transmission and distribution costs have been going up as well as the
:03:29. > :03:32.environmental and social policy costs, and recently, we have been
:03:33. > :03:36.selling electricity at a loss. Those are the reasons why we have had to
:03:37. > :03:41.put prices up, beginning in the middle of September. Over the past
:03:42. > :03:44.six months, Centrica has seen profits from its home energy
:03:45. > :03:49.business falling sharply and it has also lost hundreds of thousands of
:03:50. > :03:52.customers. It is gas has had pressure on its profits, and the
:03:53. > :03:56.domestic side, reflected in this announcement which they argue is
:03:57. > :03:59.because the price freeze and they argue most recently they have made a
:04:00. > :04:04.loss and electricity overall, so there is a on them I guess to make
:04:05. > :04:08.sure they are not loss-making. Earlier this year when other major
:04:09. > :04:12.energy companies raised their prices, the regulator of gems that
:04:13. > :04:18.the increases were not justified. But plans for a cap have been
:04:19. > :04:22.watered down. The Government needs to urgently look at what they do for
:04:23. > :04:25.the customers paying over the odds. There has been so much discussion
:04:26. > :04:28.about the energy market and it does not work for consumers, the
:04:29. > :04:33.discussion needs to end and we need to see some action. Regulators want
:04:34. > :04:37.more people to shop around and switch suppliers to find a cheaper
:04:38. > :04:43.deal. But not everyone is willing to do that. For the sake of my case of
:04:44. > :04:48.nearly ?20 saving a year, it is not worth it. Not worth my time. It is
:04:49. > :04:53.dear enough as it is, that is why I have both and gas and Electric
:04:54. > :04:56.together because you have the 10% discount. If I could get a better
:04:57. > :05:00.deal somewhere else, I will always look for the best deal possible.
:05:01. > :05:03.Centrica says it would welcome some changes to the energy market
:05:04. > :05:06.including the abolition of the expensive standard variable tariffs.
:05:07. > :05:12.Our business editor, Simon Jack, is here.
:05:13. > :05:19.What are the things that are really driving this as far as the companies
:05:20. > :05:24.concerned? Centrica look like clear today, it is not the price of the
:05:25. > :05:27.electricity itself in the wholesale markets, that has gone down, it is
:05:28. > :05:32.the transmission costs. When the Goodman says they want to use more
:05:33. > :05:36.renewables, that comes with a cost, and you have to connect the
:05:37. > :05:40.renewable sources to the network. There the things the companies have
:05:41. > :05:46.to do, things like rolling out smart and subsidising installation. These
:05:47. > :05:49.are government policies which they say have a knock-on effect. So the
:05:50. > :05:54.price of the stuff is not going down, but the permit is saying, we
:05:55. > :05:58.are not having that. We will not take the blame for these prices
:05:59. > :06:02.going up. But it is a big hit for a lot of households and could have an
:06:03. > :06:07.impact on inflation generally, it is a big part of everybody's Bill going
:06:08. > :06:12.up by 12.5% and we saw rises earlier in the year and there might be more
:06:13. > :06:13.to come which will have a knock-on effect on inflation.
:06:14. > :06:16.Our assistant political editor, Norman Smith, is in Westminster.
:06:17. > :06:25.What chance did you think ultimately some kind of price cap coming in?
:06:26. > :06:30.Put it this way, I would not hold your breath. It is like expecting
:06:31. > :06:34.England to win the World Cup, England men. It could happen, but on
:06:35. > :06:38.balance, probably not. And the reason we will not get the big price
:06:39. > :06:44.cap to cover 70 million customers is our old friend Brexit, she is taking
:06:45. > :06:48.up so much of the Government's time and energy, there simply is not a
:06:49. > :06:53.legislative space to push through this sort of huge measure. The
:06:54. > :06:58.Government had the option to include it in the Queen's Speech and decided
:06:59. > :07:04.against that. And many Tory MPs do not like the idea of a cap, it is
:07:05. > :07:09.not a Tory sort of thing. But ministers want to talk top, to leave
:07:10. > :07:15.it on the table almost as a stick to say to the energy companies, behave,
:07:16. > :07:22.or else! More likely, we could get a much more limited cap targeted on
:07:23. > :07:26.the most disadvantaged families, those on the warm homes allowance,
:07:27. > :07:29.around 2 million families. The regulator Ofgem will issue a report
:07:30. > :07:35.later in the summer which is expected to be one of their
:07:36. > :07:40.recommendations. We will not get the big cap covering all 17 million
:07:41. > :07:49.customers, we might get a Mini cap. Norman, thank you.
:07:50. > :07:50.The White House Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci,
:07:51. > :07:53.has been fired just ten days after his appointment.
:07:54. > :07:55.He was dismissed last night, hours after General John Kelly,
:07:56. > :07:57.a retired marine general, was sworn in as the President's
:07:58. > :08:05.Officials say Mr Scaramucci made "inappropriate" comments
:08:06. > :08:10.It means three top officials have been sacked in the last ten days,
:08:11. > :08:22.My start state is going to be in a couple of weeks so it is 100% tone
:08:23. > :08:25.-- totally cleansed and clean. Anthony Scaramucci never made the
:08:26. > :08:30.official start state, the White House decided what had to be
:08:31. > :08:34.cleansed was him. Why? Looked at his comments to the New Yorker magazine
:08:35. > :08:39.where he said of the then White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus
:08:40. > :08:42.is a paranoid schizophrenic. And of the chief strategist of Donald
:08:43. > :08:46.Trump, I am not trying to build my own brand on the strength of the
:08:47. > :08:50.President, I am here to serve the country. But as it turned out, not
:08:51. > :08:53.for much longer, the victim of a vicious political culture he had
:08:54. > :08:58.spoken out to the BBC. One of the things I cannot stand about this
:08:59. > :09:02.town is the backstabbing that goes on here, where right grow up, in my
:09:03. > :09:06.neighbourhood, we are front-stabbers. This is the man who
:09:07. > :09:10.helped to wield the night, the new Chief of Staff John Kelly, the first
:09:11. > :09:15.retired general in the post since the Nixon administration. His task
:09:16. > :09:18.is to bring order to the White House. As I think we have made clear
:09:19. > :09:24.a number of times over the last couple of days to several people
:09:25. > :09:27.individually, general Kellie has the full authority to operate within the
:09:28. > :09:33.White House and all staff will report to him. President Trump has
:09:34. > :09:36.nothing but praise for General John Kelly but friends say the general
:09:37. > :09:42.was reluctant to become his Chief of Staff and will want to drive the
:09:43. > :09:45.White House agenda forward. If the President of the United States is
:09:46. > :09:48.disrupted in himself, I think General Kellie will have frank
:09:49. > :09:56.discussions about things he could do that would help the situation and
:09:57. > :09:59.improve it. With three high-level departures from the administration
:10:00. > :10:04.in two weeks, General Kellie's job to maintain discipline will be a
:10:05. > :10:06.challenge. The question is, will we see a more disciplined President
:10:07. > :10:12.Trump and that is the big question going forward. Keep in mind, the
:10:13. > :10:17.departure of Scaramucci is perhaps the easiest thing that John Kelly
:10:18. > :10:24.will be able to get done in this White House. General Kellie will be
:10:25. > :10:26.watching this space, the President's Twitter feed, which described
:10:27. > :10:28.yesterday's extraordinary shake-up is simply a great day at the White

:10:48. > :10:48.was successful, The charity Pancreatic Cancer
:10:49. > :10:51.UK says the findings Our health correspondent,
:10:52. > :10:54.Michele Paduano, reports. Kate Rigby was amazed at how
:10:55. > :10:56.smoothly the NHS worked when she was diagnosed
:10:57. > :10:58.with pancreatic cancer. Within seven days, she had had
:10:59. > :11:02.surgery at the Queen Elizabeth I can't control NHS budget,
:11:03. > :11:10.and all the other things for all the poor people
:11:11. > :11:13.who aren't as lucky as me, but what I can do
:11:14. > :11:21.is spread the word. Normally, patients with jaundice
:11:22. > :11:24.like Mrs Rigby have a stent put in to relieve symptoms,
:11:25. > :11:26.which delays the main operation. A nurse was employed
:11:27. > :11:29.to speed up treatment Cutting out the stent also saved
:11:30. > :11:34.the NHS ?3,200 per patient. We save the NHS potentially ?200,000
:11:35. > :11:37.per year, with the number of patients that have surgery
:11:38. > :11:39.within our team. And so that, then, is a reproducible
:11:40. > :11:43.model that other units up and down At this point in time,
:11:44. > :11:59.you would want to go forward with the operation if you could,
:12:00. > :12:03.rather than go off and have a stent and the operation seven weeks
:12:04. > :12:04.down the line. Pancreatic cancer has
:12:05. > :12:06.a very low survival rate. The survival rate is only about 7%
:12:07. > :12:10.in the UK, so sadly very low. I think what this provides us
:12:11. > :12:13.is a glimmer of hope for the future. It provides us with that
:12:14. > :12:15.all-important surgical technique, faster, and with proven results
:12:16. > :12:22.in terms of outcome. It will be two years before doctors
:12:23. > :12:25.can say whether treating patients more quickly actually means
:12:26. > :12:27.that they live longer. And if they do, that will beg
:12:28. > :12:30.the question as to whether or not other aggressive cancers should be
:12:31. > :12:42.treated more quickly. For now, Kate Rigby knows she's been

:13:16. > :13:19.First, they found the cladding was flammable. Second, they found that
:13:20. > :13:23.the measures in place to stop fire from spreading from to floor were
:13:24. > :13:28.not as good as they should be. We have good measures to stop fire from

:24:47. > :24:51.There were locals, we met a couple who came all the way from Cornwall.
:24:52. > :24:55.Extraordinary to think that in the 1970s this place was nearly
:24:56. > :25:01.demolished. It was saved by just one vote. I've been taking a look back
:25:02. > :25:10.at its history. For the last two and a half centuries, the Piece Hall has
:25:11. > :25:16.stood at the heart of Halifax. People came to trade pieces of
:25:17. > :25:19.cloth. There were 315 individual rooms built for the sale of cloth,
:25:20. > :25:26.from which clothiers would have sold the wall to merchants, who came from
:25:27. > :25:30.quite far afield, including Europe. The trade went back to Europe and
:25:31. > :25:40.also to the Americas. This is the only surviving Cloth Hall. 315
:25:41. > :25:47.individual yet identical trading rooms. It seems such a waste that
:25:48. > :25:56.this beautiful building was only opened for two hours every week. But
:25:57. > :26:02.after the Industrial Revolution the cloth was mainly made and sold from
:26:03. > :26:08.the mills. In its place, the Piece Hall was filled with fruit and veg
:26:09. > :26:14.sellers. One century on, this is how it looked. A blot on the landscape,
:26:15. > :26:20.flattened to make way for a car park. One of those who fought to
:26:21. > :26:23.save it was Mary. She had a shop on the second floor. She's not been
:26:24. > :26:36.inside for decades. We took her back. Isn't that lovely! When I
:26:37. > :26:47.first came in it was all black. There were warehouses and vehicles.
:26:48. > :26:54.Double hulls that there were -- there were holes on the floor and it
:26:55. > :27:01.smelt cats. At 10am on the dot today, the people of Halifax were
:27:02. > :27:09.welcomed back in. It is brilliant. It is a plus for the tone. I am born
:27:10. > :27:15.and bred here. Fantastic. Good to see it how it is back to where it
:27:16. > :27:21.should be. I used to come here and hang out with my mates. It is really
:27:22. > :27:25.nice to see it. I hope that it takes off and people come and visit it
:27:26. > :27:32.because it is a fantastic place to be. Nothing is new for these old
:27:33. > :27:42.stones, who have witnessed that before. You would think we are in
:27:43. > :27:45.Italy. We've got the lovely weather. Those I've spoken to are confident
:27:46. > :27:53.this will pull people to the region. It is extremely fitting that the day
:27:54. > :27:58.that it opens is Yorkshire Day. Glorious, how fantastic.

:28:15. > :28:16.He's already made some some staffing changes, as our
:28:17. > :28:33.Arts Correspondent David Sillito reports:
:28:34. > :28:43.He looks very eccentric and that will be perfect. I got into fashion,
:28:44. > :28:48.I was spotted on a train when I was 15 years old. It is a massive
:28:49. > :28:52.change. Edward Enninful is today in charge of one of the most important
:28:53. > :28:59.names in British fashion. Vogue. It does not happen very often. The last
:29:00. > :29:05.British editor was in place for 25 years and from day one, change is a
:29:06. > :29:11.foot. They've gone on to Snapchat and there is a more diverse team. He
:29:12. > :29:18.has 500,000 Instagram followers. He has appointed Steve McQueen,
:29:19. > :29:24.independent professionals who rely on social media to keep building
:29:25. > :29:28.their brands. Vogue is the top of the fashion tree and features
:29:29. > :29:35.clothes only a few can afford. It has been a pretty torrid time for
:29:36. > :29:41.the magazine business. There is new competition. Fashion on your phone.
:29:42. > :29:48.Newsagents have been closing. Sales of glossy magazines have been
:29:49. > :29:59.dropping. People like Whitney have been shaping the business. This is
:30:00. > :30:05.my blog. Everybody wants fashion today, what is cool right now. That
:30:06. > :30:15.is why social media is so important. Do you still read the magazines? I
:30:16. > :30:20.do. People have been predicting the death of print for a few years and
:30:21. > :30:26.it hasn't happened. It is the excitement of flicking the page.
:30:27. > :30:33.Waiting for the shoot to come up, for the new trend. It's everything.
:30:34. > :30:35.It's a new era and a new name in charge for business that is changing
:30:36. > :30:48.fast. Let's catch up with the weather
:30:49. > :30:55.prospects. Looked into the Atlantic, an area of low pressure bringing
:30:56. > :31:02.these weather fronts with it. For today, a bit like yesterday,
:31:03. > :31:13.sunshine and showers. Some sunshine at 10am. An hour and a half later it
:31:14. > :31:19.looks very different indeed. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, the
:31:20. > :31:25.heel mixing in with that and not a great deal of sunshine in between.
:31:26. > :31:31.Potential for thunder and lightning. There is more showers. The south
:31:32. > :31:42.coast of England doing very well. This morning we saw waterspout.
:31:43. > :31:47.Through this evening the showers slowly fade away. In the south-west
:31:48. > :31:54.the showers will be showing their hand. Temperature will be 15 degrees
:31:55. > :32:03.in Cardiff. 10 degrees in Aberdeen. Oral Scotland into single figures.
:32:04. > :32:09.-- rule. This week it is all about what is coming in from the
:32:10. > :32:12.south-west. It is blowing nearly a gale. Wet weather pushing
:32:13. > :32:19.northwards. Northern Scotland will be the place to be. Northern Ireland
:32:20. > :32:29.has worked for a time. Still some showers around. It looks pretty
:32:30. > :32:35.miserable. Through Wednesday evening the rain makes its way up. We will
:32:36. > :32:40.see persistent rain for a time. It will eventually clear out into the
:32:41. > :32:46.North Sea. As it does that, we start to see the centre of that system.
:32:47. > :32:51.That will bring a rash of showers. We are back to square one on
:32:52. > :32:58.Thursday. Persistent rain to the Northern Isles. Not too many in the
:32:59. > :33:05.south-east. We will see temperatures getting into the low 20s. We do it
:33:06. > :33:17.again on Friday. Another day of sunny spells. Upper teens and low
:33:18. > :33:27.20s. Just a reminder of the main story. British Gas is to increase
:33:28. > :33:32.electricity prices by 12%, affecting 3 million customers. That is all. It
