:00:00. > :00:08.Millions face higher electricity bills after British Gas

:00:09. > :00:14.The company says there'll be help for the poorest households

:00:15. > :00:24.but a typical bill will go up by nearly ?80.

:00:25. > :00:30.They seemed to overcharge and the bills go up, prices go up and then

:00:31. > :00:34.they do not go down when prices go down. I guess you have the option to

:00:35. > :00:36.choose a different supplier. We'll be asking why bills

:00:37. > :00:38.are going up while wholesale It's 50 times more

:00:39. > :00:42.powerful than heroin - Fenatanyl, the drug that's led

:00:43. > :00:49.to dozens of deaths. Moped menace - police reveal

:00:50. > :00:51.new tactics to tackle the two-wheeled crime wave that's

:00:52. > :00:57.hitting the capital. Once they were in, now they're out -

:00:58. > :01:00.what the White House staff changes A new pilot scheme that could give

:01:01. > :01:07.rural communities better And coming up in

:01:08. > :01:13.Sportsday on BBC News. The world's greatest sprinter

:01:14. > :01:15.prepares for his final bow. We'll hear from Usain Bolt's pre

:01:16. > :01:17.world championships press Good evening and welcome

:01:18. > :01:45.to the BBC News at Six. Over three million British Gas

:01:46. > :01:47.customers face a hefty rise The company argues that it's

:01:48. > :01:52.own costs have risen - and from September it will charge

:01:53. > :01:57.12.5% more for electricity. Well, a typical household

:01:58. > :02:05.on a dual fuel tariff will see its annual bill go up

:02:06. > :02:08.by ?76. It's the first increase

:02:09. > :02:10.from British Gas for nearly four years but that hasn't stopped

:02:11. > :02:12.consumer groups and the government Our business editor,

:02:13. > :02:29.Simon Jack, reports. Electricity, a basic need, a simple

:02:30. > :02:34.product. The same wherever all whoever you buy it from. If you buy

:02:35. > :02:39.from British Gas it will be 12.5% more expensive from September as the

:02:40. > :02:43.U:K.'s largest supplier, it hikes prices for the first time in four

:02:44. > :02:47.years. Given wholesale costs have come down over that period, why

:02:48. > :02:53.waste prices now. We agree over the last few years since we dropped

:02:54. > :02:57.electricity prices the last time, wholesale costs have indeed fallen

:02:58. > :03:02.by about ?36 on a typical bill. But we've seen these other factors of

:03:03. > :03:07.transmission and distribution costs and energy policy costs go up by

:03:08. > :03:10.almost ?100. That is the main driver. Electricity may be a simple

:03:11. > :03:13.commodity but the factors that influence its price are complicated.

:03:14. > :03:15.22% of the bill is made up of the company's operational

:03:16. > :03:21.The wholesale price makes up 36% of the bill, that's the price at

:03:22. > :03:25.which the energy suppliers buy the energy they then sell on to us.

:03:26. > :03:27.But British Gas concedes that this has

:03:28. > :03:29.actually fallen since the beginning of the year.

:03:30. > :03:31.Then there's the cost of delivering the electricity to our

:03:32. > :03:39.British Gas says rising costs here is one reason responsible for

:03:40. > :03:43.But figures from Ofgem show these costs fell over the last

:03:44. > :03:48.The other one is government policy, that makes up 13% and that

:03:49. > :03:50.includes increases to renewable energy and promoting energy saving

:03:51. > :03:55.British Gas says they're going up, Ofgem

:03:56. > :04:11.No wonder some consumers are confused. They make it as

:04:12. > :04:14.complicated as they can and people do not understand. The bills are not

:04:15. > :04:19.clear. I do not know where British Gas are coming from but you have the

:04:20. > :04:23.option to choose another supplier. Wholesale prices have stayed the

:04:24. > :04:28.same or have gone down as far as I know. They put them up for consumers

:04:29. > :04:31.and that is disgusting. British Gas froze prices when others raised them

:04:32. > :04:35.earlier in the year so it is catching up with the rest of the

:04:36. > :04:49.pack. Consumer groups say it is the responsibility

:04:50. > :04:52.of government to take industrywide action. Government needs to urgently

:04:53. > :04:55.look at what it does for those customers who are paying over the

:04:56. > :04:57.odds. There has been so much discussion about the energy market

:04:58. > :05:00.and that it does not work for consumers. The discussion needs to

:05:01. > :05:02.end and we need action. According to the opposition, that action should

:05:03. > :05:04.include a cap on energy prices. The Labour Party would introduce an

:05:05. > :05:07.initial price cap and develop the energy supplies so that this cartel

:05:08. > :05:13.we have now could not control pricing levels and holders over a

:05:14. > :05:17.barrel in future. Policies like capping energy prices to support

:05:18. > :05:19.working families... The Conservatives had a cap in a

:05:20. > :05:23.manifesto but it was dropped from the Queen's Speech and now the

:05:24. > :05:28.government wants Ofgem to find a way to keep costs down energy remains a

:05:29. > :05:29.hot political issue. Simon Jack, BBC News.

:05:30. > :05:35.Our Political correspondent Alex Forsyth is in Westminster.

:05:36. > :05:42.The government has condemned this rise. But what can the government

:05:43. > :05:45.do, we've just heard it was an election issue? All political

:05:46. > :05:49.parties have been banned the price rise, Labour has said it is

:05:50. > :05:53.unacceptable, the government says it could affect customers already on

:05:54. > :05:57.the lowest value tariffs. But the question remains what could and

:05:58. > :06:01.should the government do. Theresa May had said during the election

:06:02. > :06:06.campaign, that the Conservatives would introduce an energy price cap.

:06:07. > :06:10.But when she lost a majority that plan was shelved. In part because a

:06:11. > :06:13.Brexit, the government already has a heavy programme of legislation and

:06:14. > :06:17.they know not all Conservative MPs backed the idea of a price cap so

:06:18. > :06:22.that is not the Parliamentary battle but want to enter into right now.

:06:23. > :06:25.They said the regulator Ofgem has sufficient powers and they're

:06:26. > :06:32.waiting for the results of a consultation from Ofgem which could

:06:33. > :06:34.see proposals for a more limited cap perhaps for the most vulnerable

:06:35. > :06:38.customers. But ministers insist the idea of a wider cap is not off the

:06:39. > :06:41.table. That is something of a threat to the energy companies saying if

:06:42. > :06:45.you do not take action, we could. But do not expect that any time

:06:46. > :06:49.soon. Allow the government is keen to be seen to be talking tough this.

:06:50. > :06:52.60 people have died in the UK in the past eight months

:06:53. > :06:54.after taking the painkilling drug Fentanyl - according

:06:55. > :06:59.It's the drug that was linked to the death of the rock legend

:07:00. > :07:01.Prince, and is 50 times more potent than heroin.

:07:02. > :07:04.These latest figures might just be the tip of the iceberg -

:07:05. > :07:06.there are another 70 cases in which Fentanyl is

:07:07. > :07:13.As June Kelly reports two thirds of the known deaths have

:07:14. > :07:25.been in the Yorkshire, Humberside and Cleveland areas.

:07:26. > :07:32.The rock legend Prince died suddenly last year at the age of 57. Fans

:07:33. > :07:43.gathered near his home in Minnesota where his body was found.

:07:44. > :07:47.# Purple rain... A year on, medical examiners concluded his death was

:07:48. > :07:51.due to an accidental overdose of the drug Fentanyl. It was unclear where

:07:52. > :07:56.he had got it from and no one was charged over his death. Fentanyl was

:07:57. > :08:01.a drug used to treat cancer patients. But now police in the UK

:08:02. > :08:05.are becoming concerned at its growing use by drug addicts here. It

:08:06. > :08:11.is said to be 50 times more powerful than heroin. And it is killing

:08:12. > :08:20.people. Sean who does not want his face shone, lost a sister to a

:08:21. > :08:23.suspected Fentanyl overdose a few months ago. She had gone and bought

:08:24. > :08:27.some and she knew what it was. She went back to the hostel, and we

:08:28. > :08:34.found two days later. And most of those who lost their lives have been

:08:35. > :08:37.heroin users. To be that far gone on heroin and other drugs, the

:08:38. > :08:42.lifestyle that they lead, nothing matters to them. They just want that

:08:43. > :08:49.relief. Just getting away from the world for an hour or two. Fentanyl

:08:50. > :08:53.is so lethal that this is how police were kitted up when they raided a

:08:54. > :08:58.suspect 's house. Protected against breathing it in. There is an even

:08:59. > :09:01.more powerful substance, a tiny grain of this could prove fatal. So

:09:02. > :09:08.why are more people using these drugs question mark we believe this

:09:09. > :09:13.is partly down to the ongoing need for dealers to be trying to compete

:09:14. > :09:17.with each other and sometimes introducing drugs in the marketplace

:09:18. > :09:23.they believe might give them a competitive edge. And increase

:09:24. > :09:26.profits. Fentanyl is known as a synthetic opioid and addicts mixed

:09:27. > :09:30.with heroin. Police say people are playing Russian roulette with their

:09:31. > :09:32.lives. Every time they take it. Jim Kelly, BBC News.

:09:33. > :09:34.Police in London are having to adopt new tactics to deal

:09:35. > :09:38.Criminals on two wheels have been riding around the city targeting

:09:39. > :09:43.Police say the number of incidents have tripled in the last year

:09:44. > :09:45.and now the thieves are even travelling to London

:09:46. > :09:48.Our special correspondent Lucy Manning has been investigating

:09:49. > :09:58.the growing threat from moped gangs.

:09:59. > :10:04.Last night near Harrods police and fire brigade rushed to a pet gang

:10:05. > :10:10.attack. Liquid, possibly acid, thrown at the victim as they tried

:10:11. > :10:15.to steal his watch. A few months ago in east London and a motorcyclist is

:10:16. > :10:19.surrounded by four mopeds. A fire extinguisher let off in his face. In

:10:20. > :10:23.London it is increasingly the crime of choice for teenage offenders.

:10:24. > :10:31.Police telling the BBC the average age of mopeds gangs is 15. With some

:10:32. > :10:38.just 13. Please send me the location of where he is. Delivery driver

:10:39. > :10:42.Hussein was attacked three weeks ago on his mopeds when acid was thrown

:10:43. > :10:46.at him as they stole his bike. He is now part of a social media group

:10:47. > :10:50.with hundreds of mopeds drivers warning if a gang is spotted.

:10:51. > :10:57.Another alert comes in. Just turning left to go towards my next job. Two

:10:58. > :11:02.guys on one bike. Just be careful. How often are people posting that

:11:03. > :11:11.the thing these mopeds around? Today, so many. Police do not stop

:11:12. > :11:15.or chase them. They're getting away. We're going to meet other delivery

:11:16. > :11:20.drivers, some have stopped working after ten o'clock at night, they're

:11:21. > :11:24.so scared of the mopeds gangs. Where are you seeing the mopeds?

:11:25. > :11:34.Everywhere, everywhere around and police do not care. It is not men,

:11:35. > :11:39.it is kids. 16, your life in danger. From someone who will come. When we

:11:40. > :11:48.are just stopped at traffic lights. Someone could attack from behind. As

:11:49. > :11:52.we talk, a bike cuts across the pavement, the driver and passenger

:11:53. > :11:57.with their faces covered. Do not fill me. The delivery drivers say

:11:58. > :12:02.this is one of the mopeds gangs, they threaten our team. Later we

:12:03. > :12:07.check the number plate, it is not insured and has changed colour.

:12:08. > :12:10.Police believe the characteristics of a stolen bike. The last year

:12:11. > :12:15.there were 16,000 mopeds related crimes in London. Three times as

:12:16. > :12:19.many as the previous year. But the BBC has been told police are testing

:12:20. > :12:25.a new way of catching the attackers. Spraying them with liquid that can

:12:26. > :12:30.later be traced. We're looking at a that delivers a unique DNA piece

:12:31. > :12:36.which sprays on them and can be traced back to them later on. If

:12:37. > :12:41.equipment or clothing or the bike is sprayed. And can use bravest on them

:12:42. > :12:46.as they are taking off? Potentially, yes. Were trying to find a way to do

:12:47. > :12:51.that safely. It is being tested under Home Office guidelines. Police

:12:52. > :12:57.insist they often give chase. There is a misconception that there is

:12:58. > :13:02.less pleasant and people do not reported but the number of pursuits

:13:03. > :13:08.has increased. You do not pursue every mopeds gangs when a call comes

:13:09. > :13:13.in? That is true but the reality is by the time we get the call for most

:13:14. > :13:19.of these offences, it has already gone. Online is also a brazen.

:13:20. > :13:23.Bristol bike taker, with pictures of mopeds, Mass riders and bolt

:13:24. > :13:26.cutters. Avon and Somerset police were investigating say the account

:13:27. > :13:33.is used to taunt the owners of stolen bikes. Others appear to offer

:13:34. > :13:36.keys for sale to unlock mopeds. And teenagers post videos of themselves

:13:37. > :13:44.driving recklessly, breaking traffic laws. This is believed to be riders

:13:45. > :13:49.filming themselves being chased by the police. A police video shows

:13:50. > :13:52.phone thieves fling up the wrong side of the M11. The BBC has been

:13:53. > :13:56.told mopeds gangs are now coming into London from Kent, Sussex,

:13:57. > :13:59.Surrey in Buckinghamshire. Police believe the growing problem in the

:14:00. > :14:02.capital will spread across the country. Lucy Manning, BBC News.

:14:03. > :14:05.The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford is having to close

:14:06. > :14:07.its trauma unit for a year because of fire safety

:14:08. > :14:09.concerns over cladding on the outside of the building.

:14:10. > :14:13.The hospital is moving 52 beds to other wards and the unit will be

:14:14. > :14:17.It comes after a review of the cladding took place

:14:18. > :14:27.A great day at the White House - that was Donald Trump's assessment

:14:28. > :14:29.last night after his new director of communications,

:14:30. > :14:31.Anthony Scaramucci, was sacked even before he'd formally taken

:14:32. > :14:38.Not for the first time the president seemed at odds with many observers

:14:39. > :14:48.Here's our North America Editor Jon Sopel.

:14:49. > :14:50.It's being billed as the Last Supper.

:14:51. > :14:53.Anthony Scaramucci last night having dinner at where else,

:14:54. > :14:55.the restaurant in the Trump hotel, just hours after he'd been

:15:00. > :15:11.The swearing-in of General John Kelly as chief of staff

:15:12. > :15:17.being seen as a new beginning for this administration.

:15:18. > :15:19.He will do a spectacular job, I have no doubt.

:15:20. > :15:26.So could this mark the end of what's been a turbulent,

:15:27. > :15:28.dysfunctional six-months for all the President's men?

:15:29. > :15:30.The former National Security Adviser was the first to go.

:15:31. > :15:34.Fired after just 24 days in the job after he lied about his contacts

:15:35. > :15:39.Three months after being fired, Trump's first communications

:15:40. > :15:42.director, the rather anonymous Mike Dubke, handed

:15:57. > :16:01.between the Russians and the Trump campaign.

:16:08. > :16:13.hired Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.

:16:14. > :16:15.The departure of Reince Priebus came as little surprise

:16:16. > :16:17.after he was subject to a vicious verbal attack by incoming

:16:34. > :16:36.The profound hope among those close to President Trump is that

:16:37. > :16:38.with general Kelly in charge, there will be a fundamental change

:16:39. > :16:49.A change in personnel leading to high expectations followed

:16:50. > :16:59.But in the meantime the late-night comedians are making hay.

:17:00. > :17:00.The president has been very busy repealing

:17:01. > :17:02.and replacing his staff, most notably Anthony

:17:03. > :17:13.Lated as communications director for only ten days!

:17:14. > :17:15.And he left us with nothing but memories,

:17:16. > :17:27.But some things are still refreshingly familiar.

:17:28. > :17:30.Donald Trump tweeted a short time ago, only the fake news media

:17:31. > :17:32.and Trump enemies want me to stop using social media.

:17:33. > :17:36.Only way for me to get the truth out.

:18:18. > :18:31.Now, we know this is a huge issue for those of you who live and work

:18:32. > :18:33.in the countryside - the difficulty in getting anything

:18:34. > :18:39.Three years ago about 20% of the UK could only get a partial service.

:18:40. > :18:42.Since then the government has been rolling out super-fast broadband

:19:27. > :19:28.Having the TV whitespace broadband system installed

:19:29. > :19:31.is going to revolutionise the way that I work from home.

:19:32. > :19:34.It's the consistency that makes the difference for us.

:19:35. > :19:38.It is knowing once you press a button it will work, it will send.

:19:39. > :19:41.And the fact that it is raining or cloudy or windy outside isn't

:19:42. > :19:48.Whitespace broadband uses TV broadcast frequencies left over

:19:49. > :19:50.from the digital switchover to send a broadband signal

:19:51. > :19:56.Like a television signal, it doesn't need direct line of sight.

:19:57. > :19:59.And can travel up to ten kilometres over hills,

:20:00. > :20:04.through buildings and trees, direct to people's homes.

:20:05. > :20:07.It has been recognised for some time that whitespace broadband can help

:20:08. > :20:11.plug the gaps in coverage in places like this.

:20:12. > :20:14.What's new according to the companies involved in this

:20:15. > :20:17.project in Monmouthshire is that now it is commercially viable and can

:20:18. > :20:25.However some industry experts believe more should've been done

:20:26. > :20:30.to deliver fibre broadband to as many homes as possible.

:20:31. > :20:35.The former chief technical officer of BT says rural

:20:36. > :20:41.All of these stopgap measures are like a finger in a dyke,

:20:42. > :20:43.they underprovide the bandwidth, they hardly meet today's needs

:20:44. > :20:51.So the thing that is the problem here is we are wasting billions

:20:52. > :20:53.betting on things that cannot possibly meet our

:20:54. > :21:00.The UK's broadband infrastructure is run by Openreach,

:21:01. > :21:02.it agreed to split from BT following concerns from

:21:03. > :21:10.80,000 internet exchange boxes like this one have been installed

:21:11. > :21:14.across the country to connect fibre broadband to properties.

:21:15. > :21:17.But have they focused on providing faster speeds to urban areas

:21:18. > :21:21.at the expense of rolling out coverage to rural communities?

:21:22. > :21:25.There has been some deployment in urban areas which was done

:21:26. > :21:28.commercially by ourselves and other people, but the rural roll-out

:21:29. > :21:34.And you will find that the gaps are being closed.

:21:35. > :21:38.There was no sign of fibre broadband reaching Martin Phillips.

:21:39. > :21:41.He is pinning his hopes on TV whitespace.

:21:42. > :21:44.But the extent to which this technology will be taken up more

:21:45. > :21:46.widely will depend on how many companies get on board.

:22:05. > :22:07.earlier than is currently the case could improve success rates.

:22:08. > :22:12.Over 9,500 people are diagnosed with the cancer each year in the UK.

:22:13. > :22:15.In a pilot scheme involving 32 patients, the average waiting time

:22:16. > :22:21.from diagnosis to surgery was cut from two months to two weeks.

:22:22. > :22:24.In the vast majority of those cases - 31 patients -

:22:39. > :22:41.There's been a second day of trouble at a prison in Hertfordshire

:22:42. > :22:50.where armed inmates have taken over a wing and smashed windows.

:22:51. > :22:52.Riot-trained teams were sent to HMP The Mount

:23:20. > :23:24.Championships in London this Saturday - and his final sprint

:23:25. > :23:30.He's been giving a press conference this afternoon

:23:31. > :23:35.and our Sports Correspondent Natalie Pirks was there.

:23:36. > :23:40.There are not many other athletes who would need to move their

:23:41. > :23:43.conference because so many journalists applied to be here. In

:23:44. > :23:49.addition to his records and medals there is the 11 World Championship

:23:50. > :23:54.gold medals he holds and he hopes to add another two in London. Nobody

:23:55. > :23:58.transcends the sport the way he does, he walked on stage, booing us

:23:59. > :24:04.because we did not applaud him enough. He has a magnetic

:24:05. > :24:07.personality, a natural ability and a personality which has made him one

:24:08. > :24:15.of the best paid stars in the world worth around ?45 million. What are

:24:16. > :24:19.we going to do without him? Today he attended dance what he is going to

:24:20. > :24:23.do without the rush of competing. I don't know what I am going to do,

:24:24. > :24:28.this is why I think I want to play football, to change it up, get a

:24:29. > :24:32.different rush. But we will see where life takes me, you never know

:24:33. > :24:37.in which direction I am going to go, I might act in some action movies,

:24:38. > :24:43.that will give me a rush. You never know. The debate has been raging on

:24:44. > :24:47.social media today after Lord Coe likened his exploits to those of

:24:48. > :24:51.Muhammad Ali, telling him as a genius. Whether you believe he is up

:24:52. > :24:55.there with Muhammad Ali you have two Siki is the best sprinter the world

:24:56. > :24:59.has ever seen and he fully expects to wake up to more headlines on

:25:04. > :25:05.He's been described as the finest racing driver of his generation.

:25:06. > :25:08.The Polish driver, Robert Kubica, was amongst

:25:09. > :25:13.the fastest in Formula One - until one horrific accident in 2011

:25:14. > :25:19.His arm was severely injured but he has fought back and tomorrow

:25:20. > :25:22.takes part in what's being seen as a crucial test.

:25:23. > :25:24.He's been speaking exclusively to Joe Wilson about that

:25:25. > :25:26.terrible accident - along with his motor racing

:25:27. > :25:42.A Renault Formula 1 car. Approaching 200 mph. Imagine driving it. And

:25:43. > :25:51.then imagine driving it without the full use of one of your arms. Nice

:25:52. > :25:56.to see you. Robert Kubica is in Hungary to discover if you truly

:25:57. > :26:01.can. His injuries are there to see and restrict him to this day. I am

:26:02. > :26:07.waking up every morning at home, I am doing usual stuff at home. I

:26:08. > :26:13.train, I recycle, I do all the stuff probably most of the people do. But

:26:14. > :26:18.most people don't drive a car at 200 mph. But actually I can see easily

:26:19. > :26:21.that I have more limitations are lit say my limitations have a bigger

:26:22. > :26:31.influence on daily life than in driving the cars. Driving the car is

:26:32. > :26:35.easier? COO easier. Other drivers believed he was the most talented

:26:36. > :26:38.man on the grid, a future world champion. He told me it was the

:26:39. > :26:46.desire to become even better which took him into a rally car in his

:26:47. > :26:49.time off. He crashed. Andorra, February 20 11. Everything changed.

:26:50. > :26:56.Did you think you would lose the arm? Probably first of all we have

:26:57. > :27:02.to say big thanks to them. Because the easiest thing probably would be

:27:03. > :27:09.to get rid of it. But in reality the first big moment I was fighting to

:27:10. > :27:14.be alive. This is a crucial time for teams to test cars which is why

:27:15. > :27:18.Robert Kubica is here working for Renault, test driving for Renault.

:27:19. > :27:22.The possibility is he could be driving in the Formula 1

:27:23. > :27:28.championship next season. Maybe, just maybe, even this season. I need

:27:29. > :27:32.to be sure I am able at least to come as close as possible to the

:27:33. > :27:38.level I was before my accident. And this will be the target. So before

:27:39. > :27:44.doing this I need to be sure I am able to do this. Actually the last

:27:45. > :27:50.two days it has helped me a lot. I feel pretty comfortable I will be

:27:51. > :27:54.able to do it. Formula 1 would love to see Kubica return, his comeback

:27:55. > :27:59.would grip the sport like nothing else. But he is a realist, not a

:28:00. > :28:03.romantic. A driver must know he can rely on himself before anything

:28:04. > :28:07.else. Joe Wilson, BBC News, Budapest.

:28:08. > :28:19.Brave man. Associated weather fronts heading

:28:20. > :28:24.our way quickly, bringing wind and rain, ahead of that a day of sunny

:28:25. > :28:27.spells and heavy showers, sunshine in Chiswick in London in the

:28:28. > :28:32.mid-afternoon but for many the sky looked much more like this,

:28:33. > :28:36.threatening and we saw thunderstorms, hail, heavy dense

:28:37. > :28:39.boards as well. Thunderstorms and showers fading away over the next

:28:40. > :28:45.few hours and skies were clear for many then we looked to the South

:28:46. > :28:50.West of this rain to push its way by Don, 15 or 16 degrees then some

:28:51. > :28:55.parts of central and northern Scotland will be dipping well into

:28:56. > :28:58.single figures so chilly. If you start with brighter weather in East

:28:59. > :29:01.England make the most of it because the rain is moving its way

:29:02. > :29:05.northwards and eastwards, should dry up in Northern Ireland to some

:29:06. > :29:08.extent, pretty miserable through the afternoon for south Wales and

:29:09. > :29:13.southern England and temperatures at the best only 19 or 20, so

:29:14. > :29:17.disappointing all around. These weather fronts continue to work in

:29:18. > :29:20.north and east overnight into thirsty and in the low drifts

:29:21. > :29:26.towards the north-west which will bring a whole crop of showers. By

:29:34. > :29:40.Thursday looks like another blustery day, quite wet, showers to the north

:29:41. > :29:45.and west, not too many down to the south-east, largely dry here, 21 or

:29:46. > :29:49.22 degrees warmer but Wendy. Another windy day for all parts on Friday

:29:50. > :29:53.and another day of sunny spells and showers and most of them will be in

:29:54. > :29:57.the north and west, not too many getting down towards the south-east

:29:58. > :30:03.corner. Largely dry in the London area.

:30:04. > :30:11.Over 3 million British Gas customers face a hefty rise in electricity

:30:12. > :30:15.bills. That's all from the BBC News at

:30:16. > :30:19.Six, so it's goodbye from me -
