:01:22. > :01:25.Manchester United and Liverpool play in the last 16 of the Europa League

:01:26. > :01:41.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:42. > :01:43.Some of the poorest people in the country are paying the most

:01:44. > :01:51.That's the stark conclusion of the long awaited report

:01:52. > :01:57.Today it's calling for a temporary price cap for the four million homes

:01:58. > :02:05.It also says there should be a database of customers who have

:02:06. > :02:07.stayed on standard rates for three years or more.

:02:08. > :02:09.Those customers could then be targeted by other suppliers,

:02:10. > :02:11.to try to persuade them to switch to cheaper tariffs.

:02:12. > :02:18.Our correspondent John Moylan has more details.

:02:19. > :02:27.From lighting our homes to keeping us warm, energy can be expensive.

:02:28. > :02:33.Today saw a raft of proposals aimed at making sure customers get a

:02:34. > :02:37.better deal. Georgina Engels from Kent got into debt. Her energy

:02:38. > :02:43.company forced her to take it prepayment meter. She is angry that

:02:44. > :02:48.these with less choice to find cheaper prices. There is no reason

:02:49. > :02:52.for me to pay extra. I am using the same electricity of everyone else

:02:53. > :02:58.down the street, people in the big houses. Why should I be paying more

:02:59. > :03:03.they are? Soon she will not have to pay as much. Customers like Georgina

:03:04. > :03:08.will have their gas and electricity prices capped. That will help around

:03:09. > :03:15.4 million households and result in savings of ?90 a year. The other big

:03:16. > :03:20.idea in today's port is we could all be receiving a lot more of this. If

:03:21. > :03:24.you have been on a standard energy tariff for three years or more, that

:03:25. > :03:29.has tend to be more costly, your details could be placed on a

:03:30. > :03:33.database allowing rival energy companies to directly contact you

:03:34. > :03:39.with better deals. If I want to change my fuel, I will go seeking to

:03:40. > :03:42.change it. I do not like people cold calling, I do not like it. I think

:03:43. > :04:03.it will probably be a good thing. I would be in it. I might well read

:04:04. > :04:05.it and consider it. There are dozens of other proposals, including

:04:06. > :04:10.allowing suppliers to offer more than four tariff. One firm described

:04:11. > :04:15.the report as a waste of time and money but the industry says this is

:04:16. > :04:19.a landmark moment. The report has taken two years we had to be faster

:04:20. > :04:25.but it illustrates the complexity of the market. Let's stop the fights,

:04:26. > :04:30.move forward and see how we can make this market work for consumers. Many

:04:31. > :04:36.consumers will think it is a damp squib until a can see an effect on

:04:37. > :04:40.competition, downward pressure on household bills. The Government says

:04:41. > :04:43.it will take forward these changes but whether this huge investigation

:04:44. > :04:44.gets more of us to save money by switching will only become clear in

:04:45. > :04:49.the years ahead. In August last year,

:04:50. > :04:51.11 people were killed when a plane crashed

:04:52. > :04:53.during the Shoreham air show. Today an interim report from the Air

:04:54. > :04:55.Accidents Investigation Branch says a proper risk assessment had not

:04:56. > :04:58.been done before the Hawker Hunter Our transport correspondent

:04:59. > :05:20.Richard Westcott is in Shoreham That is the A27 behind me. This is

:05:21. > :05:25.the piece of road where the aircraft came down. We still do not know why

:05:26. > :05:29.the jet crashed. That report should come in a few weeks. Today's port

:05:30. > :05:37.did highlight problems in the way the show was packaged.

:05:38. > :05:44.The day the vintage jet came down on a packed road killing 11 people.

:05:45. > :05:49.Could tighter safety rules have stop this happening? The report describes

:05:50. > :05:53.weaknesses in the airshow's planning. The man in charge of

:05:54. > :05:57.safety did not know the pilot's display routine. He is not required

:05:58. > :06:03.to but it meant he could not judge how dangerous it was. The risk

:06:04. > :06:08.assessments, described as having deficiencies, despite being approved

:06:09. > :06:12.by the regulators. For the victim's families, another blow. Giovanni

:06:13. > :06:16.lost her partner, Mark. For it to be in black-and-white that his

:06:17. > :06:23.manoeuvre he was going to do was never discussed or planned, was

:06:24. > :06:29.never set in stone that this is what he would do when he got into that

:06:30. > :06:37.plane, it has stumped me quite a bit. Investigators also found

:06:38. > :06:41.aircraft breaking flying rules. This is the same plane at sure a year

:06:42. > :06:47.before. It is not permitted to stray over busy areas, but it did. This is

:06:48. > :06:53.lancing town centre. You can see the train going past, plenty of cars and

:06:54. > :06:58.people. In that display in 2014, the report said the hunt appalled a

:06:59. > :07:03.tight turn over this town. That was against the rules then investigators

:07:04. > :07:10.checked other aircraft at Shaw and other airshows and found there were

:07:11. > :07:13.plenty who were straying over areas they were not meant to. The Civil

:07:14. > :07:29.Aviation Authority write the rules for airshow is, and it said:

:07:30. > :07:32.everybody involved in this business are hugely experienced aviators.

:07:33. > :07:38.Nobody I know would ever wish to compromise safety at all, least of

:07:39. > :07:43.all the pilot. More than 6 million people visit and airshow in Britain

:07:44. > :07:47.every year. Many are charity events run by volunteers. Only football

:07:48. > :07:53.gets more spectators. The sure crash could have a big impact on dozens of

:07:54. > :07:58.other airshows. Extra rules and a doubling of charges from the CAA

:07:59. > :08:08.could force them to quit. If the increases are implemented the way

:08:09. > :08:10.the CAA would like them to be, I would see no option but to cancel

:08:11. > :08:14.the show. We're not going to make the money we would like. If that is

:08:15. > :08:20.the case, I do not see a future for this airshow. Back in Shaw, families

:08:21. > :08:24.are still waiting for the final report which would tell them how the

:08:25. > :08:28.jet crashed. -- Shoreham. The European Central Bank has again

:08:29. > :08:32.cut its main interest rate to zero. It's the latest attempt to boost

:08:33. > :08:34.growth in the Euroszone countries. Our Economics Editor

:08:35. > :08:39.Kamal Ahmed is here. I guess this does tell us quite a

:08:40. > :08:43.lot about what is going on in those Eurozone economies. It does.

:08:44. > :08:48.Certainly a dramatic day. The European Central Bank which looks

:08:49. > :08:51.after monetary policy for the main euro zone countries, those countries

:08:52. > :08:57.that use a single currency, he certainly came out today all guns

:08:58. > :09:02.blazing. He cut three interest rates the ECB controls, one into negative

:09:03. > :09:06.territory, so it actually costs banks to deposit money with the

:09:07. > :09:12.central bank, hoping to bring courage them to lend. It also said

:09:13. > :09:14.the European Central Bank would increase loans to banks, hopefully

:09:15. > :09:19.again, so that banks would pass the money onto the real economy. The big

:09:20. > :09:24.problem is the Eurozone economies are looking sickly. This matters to

:09:25. > :09:28.us because 45% of everything that Britain exports goes to the European

:09:29. > :09:32.Union and the majority of that to the Eurozone economies like Germany

:09:33. > :09:37.and France. How they perform matters to us. The warriors that whatever

:09:38. > :09:43.the governor of the European Central Bank does, it uses all the

:09:44. > :09:47.ammunition to try to encourage the economies to grow, unless the

:09:48. > :09:50.economies are formed, the European economies are still looking sickly

:09:51. > :10:04.and he is running out of ammunition. David Cameron today said jobs would

:10:05. > :10:10.be lost and mortgage costs might rise if we left the EU. Chris

:10:11. > :10:14.Grayling has dismissed the claims, saying it is EU membership that

:10:15. > :10:17.costs jobs. Here is our political editor.

:10:18. > :10:20.No-one wants to finish the day on the

:10:21. > :10:21.line worrying their job might disappear.

:10:22. > :10:24.But the Prime Minister had strong warnings for the factory

:10:25. > :10:26.floor in Ellesmere Port on what we must guard

:10:27. > :10:30.A British businesswoman can sell her goods in Berlin as easily

:10:31. > :10:35.A lorry that sets off from Sunderland does not have

:10:36. > :10:37.to deal with layers of bureaucracy in every country as it heads

:10:38. > :10:42.Industries that were once struggling to survive

:10:43. > :10:48.And what could go wrong if we walked away?

:10:49. > :10:54.It means mortgage rates might rise, it means businesses closing.

:10:55. > :10:58.It means hard-working people losing their livelihoods.

:10:59. > :11:00.You are telling the public jobs would

:11:01. > :11:07.How can you be so sure when you are listing hypothetical

:11:08. > :11:12.When you have Leave campaigners saying we don't

:11:13. > :11:15.know what the risk would be, there might or might not be job

:11:16. > :11:18.losses, there might be pain, there might be dislocation.

:11:19. > :11:21.Don't swap the certainty and success for the

:11:22. > :11:27.But should we really be that rattled?

:11:28. > :11:29.Down the road, dozens of businessmen and

:11:30. > :11:43.My view is we should absolutely staying.

:11:44. > :11:48.I would like to see the UK controlled by the Westminster

:11:49. > :11:54.The Prime Minister is saying you would have to get rid of people,

:11:55. > :11:58.In the economy, there will be some winners and losers.

:11:59. > :12:01.Every year, the Chancellor is about to get up and

:12:02. > :12:08.If we are in or out of the EU, there will be change

:12:09. > :12:10.and we will just have to deal with that.

:12:11. > :12:13.There will be massive uncertainty, I think.

:12:14. > :12:16.I don't think it therefore means people lose their jobs.

:12:17. > :12:17.But, for example, we very closely border Wales,

:12:18. > :12:20.and we attract lots of businesses that trade in Wales,

:12:21. > :12:22.and have benefited hugely from the investment back

:12:23. > :12:26.I built my business from a back bedroom 20 years ago

:12:27. > :12:32.The Prime Minister's fortune depends on the choice.

:12:33. > :12:34.He wants you to believe, whether you live in Chester,

:12:35. > :12:39.Chelmsford or Chatham, that yours and the country's does too.

:12:40. > :12:41.David Cameron is adamant that if we choose

:12:42. > :12:44.to leave the EU, jobs in towns and cities around the country

:12:45. > :12:51.It is true, there are big questions about how exactly it would work,

:12:52. > :12:55.the kind of trade deals we'd be able to do if we left.

:12:56. > :12:59.It is true too that the economy does not like any whiff of uncertainty.

:13:00. > :13:02.But his opponents in this campaign, even in his own party,

:13:03. > :13:11.are furious and believe he is just going too far.

:13:12. > :13:13.Leavers reject the accusation they think British job losses

:13:14. > :13:15.would be worth the pain and we're plenty

:13:16. > :13:17.strong enough, they say, to keep trading with the EU

:13:18. > :13:23.I think we need a bit more courage, a bit more confidence

:13:24. > :13:25.in our position as the world's fifth biggest economy.

:13:26. > :13:30.Look at the fact, we are really important customer to them and start

:13:31. > :13:33.saying, it is not about, can we please do a deal with you?

:13:34. > :13:36.It is about, so, right, you want to deal with us!

:13:37. > :13:39.Both sides claim the deal they are offering is the best way

:13:40. > :13:44.For your job, your family, the referendum is your

:13:45. > :13:52.Some of Britain's leading scientists - including

:13:53. > :13:55.Professor Stephen Hawking - have called for a vote to remain

:13:56. > :13:57.in the European Union at the coming referendum.

:13:58. > :14:02.They say leaving the EU would be a "disaster for UK science".

:14:03. > :14:05.But as David Shukman reports, their views are not held by everyone

:14:06. > :14:18.Science is one of the great success stories of the United Kingdom. Much

:14:19. > :14:22.of the research here leads the world. It means a relatively small

:14:23. > :14:27.countries punching well above its weight. Is this helped or hindered

:14:28. > :14:33.by being in the European Union? For Stephen Hawking, the case is clear.

:14:34. > :14:37.He is among 150 scientists who warned in the Times this morning

:14:38. > :14:41.that leaving would be a disaster for UK science and universities. We

:14:42. > :14:47.would be handicapping ourselves and handicapping Europe if we were to

:14:48. > :14:51.backtrack on the positive developers of the past 30 years which have led

:14:52. > :14:54.to a more interactive and stronger European community in science and

:14:55. > :15:00.high technology. British researchers have become good at winning European

:15:01. > :15:05.Union backing. The new material grapheme has huge industrial

:15:06. > :15:08.potential and now has more than ?20 million of EU money. These

:15:09. > :15:14.genetically modified tomatoes, designed to be healthier, faced EU

:15:15. > :15:17.restrictions on GM science and the project is now being developed in

:15:18. > :15:23.Canada. What are the facts behind the claims for how leaving the EU

:15:24. > :15:30.would affect British science? One measure is financial. Between 2007

:15:31. > :15:36.and 2013, the UK gave ?4.14 billion to the EU science budget. But three

:15:37. > :15:42.UK scientists then got more out of it, winning about ?6.75 billion in

:15:43. > :15:44.grants for their research. Another measure is the scientists

:15:45. > :15:50.themselves. Freedom of movement within the EU means the very best

:15:51. > :15:54.European researchers can come here and then attract even more funding.

:15:55. > :15:57.Campaigners for Britain to leave say stronger connections with America

:15:58. > :16:03.and rising powers like China and South Korea are far more important

:16:04. > :16:06.for British science. The argument is the country that produced Isaac

:16:07. > :16:13.Newton and the technology of steam engines and then cracked the code of

:16:14. > :16:18.life DNA would thrive outside of the EU. The whole point of doing side is

:16:19. > :16:23.to go through innovation, industry, the economy, to provide jobs. I

:16:24. > :16:27.think we could do that much better outside the European Union. The

:16:28. > :16:32.directives put so much red tape on small companies that could get

:16:33. > :16:37.science going into the economy. Most big research projects these days are

:16:38. > :16:41.international, like the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. Countries can

:16:42. > :16:46.join without being in the EU. The question is whether Bridges science

:16:47. > :16:50.is made more easy and productive by staying in.

:16:51. > :16:56.There is more about the EU referendum and the FAQs on both

:16:57. > :16:59.sides of our reality check pages on our BBC website.

:19:13. > :19:18.at least, how effective it is. The documents are reported

:20:20. > :20:22.this case, the desire for record-keeping could prove

:20:35. > :20:44.it's been reported in the US that Barack Obama warned David Cameron

:21:51. > :21:56.monthly performance since records began in 2004 and well short of the

:21:57. > :22:02.95% benchmark. NHS England does say, look at the backdrop. The number of

:22:07. > :22:10.elsewhere in the NHS, maybe people not able to get to see GPs feeling

:22:11. > :22:16.they need to go to A What about the rest of the UK? In Scotland, in

:23:40. > :23:41.to investigate the science of sleep and see if their fellow pupils

:23:42. > :23:44.are getting enough of it. # So wake me up

:23:57. > :24:00.easy for most teenagers. We usually stay up late,

:24:01. > :24:03.so are we really getting enough sleep, and how does that

:24:04. > :24:11.affect us in school? I'm Chris and I'm

:24:12. > :24:14.a student in Year Ten. I'm Katie, and we're taking part

:24:41. > :24:50.until about half past 11. And then in the morning,

:24:51. > :24:53.I didn't wake up until eight o'clock, which is really late,

:24:54. > :24:56.so I had to get ready in the car Last night, I fell asleep

:24:57. > :25:01.at about half past ten and I put the lights out to go to bed

:25:02. > :25:03.at eight, ten o'clock. But I was on my phone for about half

:25:04. > :25:07.an hour and it affected my sleep. The problem is going to bed early

:25:08. > :25:10.enough, with so many distractions How do you know when it's time

:25:42. > :25:46.and later and later. Asking a teenager to get up at seven

:25:47. > :25:50.o'clock in the morning is a bit like asking a 55-year-old

:25:51. > :25:53.or 60-year-old to get up at five Some teachers think students are too

:26:03. > :26:09.during the day to give people a little less time to be

:26:10. > :26:12.tired during the morning, then the potential is that we're

:26:13. > :26:15.finishing rather later than we do currently, and I would be concerned

:26:16. > :26:17.about how much time students would then get in an evening to do

:26:22. > :26:27.a few months. We're learning that technology

:27:25. > :27:29.had very cold nights recently and minus eight degrees. Things warmed

:27:30. > :27:35.up to 10 degrees in the spring sunshine this afternoon. You can see

:27:36. > :27:39.snow on the peaks but most of the white stuff is cloud. We saw Cloud

:27:44. > :27:47.cool. Under the clear skies with the best of the temperatures, we will

:27:48. > :27:52.see the lowest temperatures tonight. Touches of frost across England and

:27:53. > :27:56.Wales and fog patches as well. The Northern Ireland and Western

:28:06. > :28:10.Some areas start sunny, parts of Wales and south-west England, with

:28:14. > :28:19.to freezing and some areas of fog around. That should soon then away

:28:20. > :28:23.but some cloud will persist, so disappointing for some but hopefully

:28:24. > :28:27.you will see some brightness across England and Wales. And eastern

:28:28. > :28:33.Scotland. Further West, Western Scotland, Northern Ireland, damp and

:28:34. > :28:36.outbreaks of rain from the West. Temperature is dependent on the

:28:37. > :28:40.sunshine. Hopefully close to double figures, especially in the best

:28:41. > :28:44.brightness. A lot of dry weather over the weekend. Some sunshine for

:28:45. > :28:46.most, starting dump across the North but even here, it dries up. Some
