5:32 pm
this one kept low. england's captain said he had never seen a pitch like this. his team, five wickets down. they now did something unusual. they were careful. nudged past 50. this was a new tempo. slow moving, gradually regaining control. he allowed others to add occasional rays of sunshine. the odd glimpse of ultra—attacking cricket to which cricket are known. india's scale. they kept concentrating. further questions about form and style, he crafted a truly timeless, priceless centuryjust crafted a truly timeless, priceless century just when crafted a truly timeless, priceless centuryjust when his country needed it. the pitch might be cracked but england's foundation is solid, right down to the route. on to football and northern ireland's women taken a big step toward staying in the second tier of the nation's league.

5:36 pm
been closed and accordance set up. plymouth city council announced that the bomb would be taken to the ferry slipway to be disposed of with a controlled explosion at sea. army experts decided it was simply too hazardous to detonate the german—made device where they actually found it because the explosion could, of course, destroy several homes in that area. well, we'll get the latest from our correspondence on the ground but it is worth bringing in councillor sally hayden from plymouth city council. sally, thanks so much for being here on the programme. i know your catjoining us on the phone but bring us up to date with the details. where are we in terms of this operation?— this operation? thank you, first, for having _ this operation? thank you, first, for having me. _ this operation? thank you, first, for having me. yes, _ this operation? thank you, first, for having me. yes, i— this operation? thank you, first, for having me. yes, i am - this operation? thank you, first, for having me. yes, i am the - this operation? thank you, first, for having me. yes, i am the carj for having me. yes, i am the car park right beside where everything has been going on. you will be aware that the bomb has been moved now. we are still asking people not to come back to their homes at this moment.

5:42 pm
tell me what happens next in terms of what you are anticipating and how long that is going to be? and of what you are anticipating and how long that is going to be?— long that is going to be? and how farmer outages _ long that is going to be? and how farmer outages before _ long that is going to be? and how farmer outages before they - long that is going to be? and how i farmer outages before they actually tried to detonate this thing? so, you know, i am tried to detonate this thing? so, you know, iam not tried to detonate this thing? so, you know, i am not a tried to detonate this thing? so, you know, iam not a bomb tried to detonate this thing? so, you know, i am not a bomb expert so i could not talk about how, you know, how far it would go out or how they would deal with that but, you know, from my point of view, from a local authority's point of view, we are just waiting now, local authority's point of view, we arejust waiting now, from local authority's point of view, we are just waiting now, from the police, to say that it is safe and we can start bringing people back in and we will start doing that and there will be support there to bring people back into their homes. weill. people back into their homes. well, sall , people back into their homes. well, sally. good — people back into their homes. well, sally. good of _ people back into their homes. well, sally. good of you — people back into their homes. well, sally, good of you to _ people back into their homes. well, sally, good of you to join _ people back into their homes. well, sally, good of you to join us - people back into their homes. well, sally, good of you tojoin us in the programme and thanks forjust patiently waiting whilst we got the latest from our correspondence. thanks for that update. let's bring in stacey who is a media archivist at the box, which is a museum and gallery and archive centre in plymouth. actually going to come before i actually speak to her, actually put onto the screen, again,
5:43 pm
pictures ofjust actually put onto the screen, again, pictures of just the actually put onto the screen, again, pictures ofjust the military convoy. you can see it there, centre of the screen. and on that, is the device itself or to buy will show you a closer image of it and there were tears on, right in the centre of the screen with the sandbags there, as you would expect. that is exactly how the bomb disposal expert who was talking to the bbc was describing it a little earlier, that absolutely surrounding this device because every part of the movement has its dangers surrounded by sand and sand bags as it is taken very close, slowly, through those residential streets to that peer point where they will actually then put it into the water and begin to tow it out into the sea and of course they get to the point where they actually explode the device. i showed you stacey anderson, the media archivist so that's bring her in. thank you very much for being
5:44 pm
here with us. just give me more of a sense of the size of this bomb, the type and what you actually know about it. ., ., .., , type and what you actually know about it. ., ., , about it. yeah, of course, so, obviously. — about it. yeah, of course, so, obviously. i— about it. yeah, of course, so, obviously, i haven't _ about it. yeah, of course, so, obviously, i haven't been - about it. yeah, of course, so,| obviously, i haven't been down about it. yeah, of course, so, - obviously, i haven't been down to the site. i don't know much about actual bomb that has been discovered at all but what we do know from the archive records that we have got here is that plymouth was one of the most heavily bombed of the british cities during the second world war and we have got the original bomb that keogh which records where and when the various devices were dropped in plymouth. —— original bomb that here. there are 59 votes in total and the bomb that presents a map for each one which the papers in the bomb book are dated. from that we start to get a sense of communion, the extent of the various
5:45 pm
bombing raids on various nights of the blitz. the most intensive raids being march and april 1941 and when the most sustained damage was caused so, although it is fairly comprehensive, there are not the bombs that are dropped, not all of the bombs were actually recorded on the bombs were actually recorded on the bombs were actually recorded on the bomb book and certain sensitive areas of the city were not recorded at all. but it can give us clues as to the approximate location of where the bombs were dropped and we have got other resources in the archive and incident list which actually goes into more detail about the locations and the types of bonds that were dropped so, you know, with further time spent on research and information, perhaps when things have died down a little bit here, we can actually work out, you know, a potential date in which this particular bomb was dropped on plymouth. particular bomb was dropped on pl mouth. �* ., , ., ,
5:46 pm
particular bomb was dropped on pl mouth. �* ., , . , . plymouth. and over the years, have the other incidences _ plymouth. and over the years, have the other incidences where - plymouth. and over the years, have the other incidences where they've. the other incidences where they've discovered unexploded ordinance? they have. you know, i remember myself and incident in the city centre because, of course, plymouth was targeted and by the centre there was targeted and by the centre there was an unexploded bomb that appeared there. this won't be the last, you know, as i say, the bomb book presents an idea of the bombs that were recorded at the time but not every single bomb was recorded in the capturing of that information but, you know, itjust goes to show for me that archives are, you know, incredibly useful for evidencing. you know, what has happened in the past and perhaps inspiring that curiosity and engagement with things that happened today at the present moment and perhaps people, you know, might want to come in and just
5:47 pm
explore the bomb book and do a little bit of research for themselves but, you know, i think it is important to remember that, you know, people have been impacted this week so my heart really goes out to everyone who has been affected by it more locally. everyone who has been affected by it more locally-— more locally. yes, thousands of eo - le. more locally. yes, thousands of people- it _ more locally. yes, thousands of people- it was _ more locally. yes, thousands of people. it was interesting - more locally. yes, thousands of. people. it was interesting because as you are talking about the bomb that we were showing the pictures on the screen and it is absolutely fascinating to see the locations of where it has been recorded, each of the exposures you talked about, just the exposures you talked about, just the number of raids that were done and carried out over plymouth. is that simply because you it was always a naval centre?- always a naval centre? yeah, absolutely. — always a naval centre? yeah, absolutely, i— always a naval centre? yeah, absolutely, ithink— always a naval centre? yeah, absolutely, i think that - always a naval centre? yeah, absolutely, i think that is - absolutely, i think that is absolutely, i think that is absolutely had a part to play. i think next to london and coventry, plymouth was certainly a target during that time and i believe that the air raid sirens went off 600 odd times which, you know, you do sort of think about, you know, the people who lived through that time and the experience but also the resilience
5:48 pm
that was built. and we've got all history records in the collection which capture those voices from people who actually experience that time so, yeah, it was quite a significant impact on the city. well, stacey anderson, thank you so much for taking time to talk to us, to tell us a bit more about the archive. thanks very much. ijust want to put onto the screen what plymouth city council are saying because they are saying now that it is safe for people to return to their homes. the cording is being lifted and they make the point that this device now is in their water. we were listening a little earlier to sally who said that it had moved very slowly through those residential streets and we'll put the picture up again that we have got of that in just a moment or two but it has gone through those streets of plymouth and it is now in the water ahead of it being towed
5:49 pm
out to sea and actually detonated so thatis out to sea and actually detonated so that is the latest coming from the council. i have put, as i was saying, that picture of the track onto the screen because there it is. just going through the shot now and we will go to the still picture as well which shows you, just give you a glimpse ofjust the delicacy of the operation and there it goes, the chart of all of those sandbags piled around those devices so that is the latest update. if you had to the bbc website there is a live page with regular updates and you can keep track but that brings you right up to date. let's turn to another really important story that has developed the course of the day because much—needed good news for households today. the energy regulator ofgem has announced its lowering the cap on household gas and electicity prices by 12.3%. the new pricing level means the average household bill from april will be about £1,690 a year. this is the lowest
5:50 pm
level for two years. the energy secretary announced the relief of families a little earlier. let's have a listen. it means that they will be paying the lowest amount for their energy bills in two years. almost £250 of their energy bills this is welcome news and i know it has been a difficult time for the country. we still have things like the cost of living payments and place, £900 for people who are really struggling because we know there are some people are still having a difficult time but, overall, this is good news for people in the country today. let’s people in the country today. let's seak people in the country today. let's s - eak to people in the country today. let's speak to a _ people in the country today. let's speak to a journalist _ people in the country today. let's speak to a journalist and - people in the country today. let's speak to a journalist and former energy and utilities editor and money saving expert. thank you so much for being here in the programme. is obviously good news but there had been a hope that,
5:51 pm
perhaps, it would be, the cap would be a 14% change as opposed to the 12%. i be a 14% change as opposed to the 1296. ., 4' be a 1496 change as opposed to the 1296. ., ~ ., 1296. i do think that, in the end, not what 1296. i do think that, in the end, got what we _ 1296. i do think that, in the end, got what we got? _ 1296. i do think that, in the end, got what we got? yeah, - 1296. i do think that, in the end, got what we got? yeah, it - 1296. i do think that, in the end, got what we got? yeah, it is - 1296. i do think that, in the end, got what we got? yeah, it is all| 1296. | do thinkthat, in the end, | got what we got? yeah, it is all to do with wholesale prices. and a little bit sort of technical in terms of the mechanics of the price cap has worked out. but as you say, you know, at 12% and average drop it is going to be a welcome relief for many. this is the vast majority of us right now. everybody is not on a fixed tariff or special time of use tariff this will affect you from the 1st of april. 12% on average but it is worth noting that when you look at before the energy prices hit two years ago are going to pay about double that what we were back thence a little bit of relief but this doesn't kick in and to the 1st of april and i am afraid it is still going to be a tough winter until we get there for people. yes. going to be a tough winter until we get there for people.— going to be a tough winter until we get there for people. yes. there are also changes —
5:52 pm
get there for people. yes. there are also changes in _ get there for people. yes. there are also changes in standing _ get there for people. yes. there are also changes in standing charges. i also changes in standing charges. take me through what those are and what that means for customers and consumers. yes. for those on direct debit which is mostly flat the moment, we won't see as much of a different but there is because standing charges of actually going up standing charges of actually going up a little bit. that means that, just for the privilege of having gas and electricity into home you're going to be paying £334 a year. that means you have these kind of unit rates, if you are you so you will see a decent amount of saving those low users, that increasing the standing charge will affect you a little bit more so that is the standing charge. the good thing, for those prepaid metres, because finally we are seeing prepay now actually dropping below the price of direct debit. this is because the standing charges actually been levelled in line with direct debit and the unit rates of prepay are less so on average a prepaid user will now pay 3% less than those on direct debit. there've been
5:53 pm
campaigns about this for many years. before this, the most vulnerable in society run prepaid metres and were having to pay more than direct debits from the 1st of april that will no longer be the case. those in the price cap will be 3% cheaper. people always asked in a situation like this, is this the first of perhaps multiple steps with further lowering? is that likely? because when you look at energy prices, say, across europe, we are still considerably higher, owing to be? yeah, yeah, double what we were before the energy crisis and make no mistake about it, you know, a drop is welcome but people are struggling to favoured energy and they will still struggle. however when we look at the bigger picture, early predictions are dropping again in july. 13% injuly, and a slight rise again in october because the energy price cap changes every three months. a slight rise in october. however, it will still be below the
5:54 pm
level we are currently paying so hopefully a little bit of light relief on the horizon there and we have to hope that wholesale prices continue to drop and, if they do, hopefully, will start to see energy starting to offer competitive fixed price tariff again and be able to undercut in due course.- undercut in due course. exactly where you _ undercut in due course. exactly where you wanted _ undercut in due course. exactly where you wanted to, - undercut in due course. exactly where you wanted to, where i i undercut in due course. exactly - where you wanted to, where i wanted you to take me. in terms of advice of people watching, thinking what should i do here, what would your best bit of advice be? you should i do here, what would your best bit of advice be?— should i do here, what would your best bit of advice be? you need to understand. _ best bit of advice be? you need to understand, you _ best bit of advice be? you need to understand, you know, _ best bit of advice be? you need to understand, you know, the - best bit of advice be? you need to understand, you know, the price l best bit of advice be? you need to l understand, you know, the price cap does change every three months now so it is not as straightforward a decision as it was in the passport of the past me know, iddon changes regularly so you popped onto a comparison site and away you go. now you need to understand that it every three months with the same figures it is only going to be in your own head, you need to understand that camino, as i said, it drops and then there is a slight rise in october so what you don't end up fixing now and
5:55 pm
pay more than you need to have prices dropped quite considerably in july. worth looking for exit fees. some of these, quite hefty exit fee so look for that. you're then going to be stuck in potentially a higher price. have a look and based on the current predictions, if you found a deal cheaper, but 17%, less than what we are currently paying on the current price cap, that point it is worth looking at. we current price cap, that point it is worth looking at.— worth looking at. we chatted a little bit of _ worth looking at. we chatted a little bit of maths. _ worth looking at. we chatted a little bit of maths. gary, - worth looking at. we chatted a | little bit of maths. gary, thanks worth looking at. we chatted a - little bit of maths. gary, thanks so much forjoining us here in the programme. just time to squeeze one more story on foot of a fascinating story. the victoria and albert museum in london is looking to recruit a taylor swift fan to advise it on the culture and craftsmanship behind memorabilia associated with the world's biggest selling pop star. the initiative is part of the v&a's attempts to enhance its curatorial knowledge by engaging grassroots experts. it already has special advisers on tobyjugs and lego.
5:56 pm
hello there. we saw lots of showers breaking out today and there's still quite a few around at the moment. you may have noticed also that it felt a little bit chillier out there today. we're in that cooler air as we head into the weekend and dominated more by low pressure, if you like. that's going to keep some showers going, but hopefully not quite as many as we saw earlier on. through the night, we'll see the showers that are around tending to decay and retreat back to more western coastal areas. although we will see a package of heavier showers in the far southwest. away from here, though, temperatures are going to be close to freezing more widely. so a cold night, quite a sharp frost to come in the north east of scotland. a few mist and fog patches, mainly through the midlands. otherwise we'll see some sunshine, those showers around western coastal areas and the heavier showers will move away from the southwest of england and head towards the far south east by the afternoon. the odd shower will develop elsewhere as the cloud bubbles up a bit, but not as many showers as today, not as heavy as today. there'll be some sunshine around and those temperatures will peak
