: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

:03:26. > :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

: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

: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

: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 -
:22:25. > :22:30.Doctors say it will be two years before they can be really sure
:22:31. > :22:38.if operating earlier does extend life chances.
: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

:23:17. > :23:19.He'll run his last ever 100 metre race at the World Athletics
: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
:25:00. > :25:03.Sunday morning of unstoppable and unbeatable Usain Bolt.
: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
:29:27. > :29:33.which stage we should be into double figures across the board, 12-1516.
: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 -
