it follows widespread criticism of npower — who have announced price rises of up to 15% for some customers. our political correspondent iain watson reports. labour has not exactly been cooking with gas in the opinion polls, but, with npower increasing some of its energy prices by 9%, the party sees an opportunity to appeal to people struggling to get by. people's wages have largely been frozen since 2007—2008 in the economic crash. since then that inflation has began to hit them as i know they are being hit by massive increases in energy prices. it is unacceptable, so in the short and we will have a cap and introduce legislation to do that. the competition and markets authority last year poured cold water on the idea of price caps, but labour say this will be a temporary measure until the market is reformed. and haven't we been here before? the next labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the start of 2017. ed miliband's pledge to freeze

energy prices was popular at first, but didn't win labour an election. immediately after the last election, labour's former policy chief said the party had been reduced to what he described as "small—scale bribes", in other words simply giving consumers money off their energy bills wasn't enough to convince them labour could be trusted with the wider economy. government maintains it is prepared to do more for consumers. they say... in the meantime, the government says that customers should be prepared to switch between energy providers. and labour is hoping some hard—pressed customers will also be prepared to switch their votes. ian watson, bbc news. now, it is time for this week's

edition of our world. ba by chimpanzees, just a few months old, seized from the jungles of africa to be sold as pets. it's a shocking and illegal trade. animals that are our closest relatives in the natural world are suffering terrible losses. to get one infant chimpanzee out of thejungle, all of the adults in its family have to be killed — that's as many as ten adults slaughtered. we infiltrate an animal smuggling network that spans the globe. during a year—long investigation we went undercover. two months? are you still able to follow? we discover that there is far more trafficking than the authorities suspect. you may find some of the scenes in this film disturbing, as we reveal the secret trade in baby chimps.

ourjourney into an underworld of animal smuggling began in cairo. for centuries, egypt has been one of the world's great trading centres. ground floor. going up. posing as buyers and filming secretly, we found two dealers who said they could get us baby chimpanzees. they sent us videos of the animals they had ready. pitiful sights of infants, recently captured and now destined to be pets

or kept in private zoos in the gulf states and asia. but once they grow too big and strong they are killed or dumped. it was in cairo that we learned how the smugglers operate. there is an international treaty, called cites, that sims to stop the trafficking of rare wildlife, but for the right money, you can obtain one of its official export permits. —— aims. and one dealer, mahmoud khaled, claimed he could get hold of a cites permit enabling us to export chimps. we paid khaled a deposit.

he checked it in his pet store. publicly he deals in birds, secretly he was offering much more. two weeks later, we met him to collect the cites permit. and here it is. an official export document falsely filled in and illegally obtained. it seemed to be signed and stamped by an official in the government ofjordan. and it shows our address which was fake, a basic internet search would have shown that. we asked khaled about the chimpanzees themselves and what state they would be in when they reached our client. what followed was a down payment for the chimps.

the money came from a swiss wildlife activist who campaigns against the trafficking of chimpanzees. the price? $20,000 each. and these were the animals we were being offered. khaled told us they were ready for shipping, but then something went wrong. khaled got nervous and the deal was suddenly off. he was worried about being exposed. we assumed that our investigation was dead. but we weren't going to give up, our focus shifted from the middle east to west africa, to ivory coast — one step closer to the source of the illegal trade.

the egyptian dealers had always said that the chimpanzees would be flown out of here. in the end that never happened. but then, right here, we had a breakthrough. our research led us to an animal trader called ibrahima traore. his facebook page revealed a boastful personality. it turned out that he had been supplying the egyptians we had been talking to. in a video he sent us, he shows a crate, specially designed for wildlife smuggling. animals that are allowed to be exported act as a cover for a chimpanzee hidden inside. ibrahima claimed that he could also

get us a cites export permit. we were pretending to be an indonesian pet trader called alex. the dealer, ibrahima, said he was based in guinea but would meet us in abidjan. he sent us pictures showing that he had chimpanzees. filmed secretly, he told our undercover colleague how he could provide us with chimps. we told him we needed a cites permit first, he quickly got us one which was stamped national parks of liberia.

ibrahima then told us what baby chimpanzees would cost and he showed us videos to prove that he could deliver. ibrahima handed over the cites permit that he had obtained for us. he made this look almost routine. this is where the meeting took place and where this rather flimsy—looking but important document was handed over. it is in effect a passport allowing us to export live chimpanzees. now, we should never have been able to get hold of it. the whole point of the international permit system is to try to stop the trade in endangered animals but what this reveals is how easily you can get around it. getting the paperwork sorted was one thing, but then came an agonising wait for the deal itself. keeping watch for the next message and then... this video confirmed that he had

a chimpanzee ready for export. the recording used ourfake name and the correct date. very playful. ibrahima even showed his face on camera as he had in earlier videos, apparently not worried about incriminating himself. 0ur undercover team got ready to see the chimp for themselves. but we weren't going into this alone. we briefed interpol and the police in ivory coast and they prepared a sting.

0ur undercoverjournalist was going to meet ibrahima to see the animal before confirming the deal, and we were following. hello, how are you? we're now on our way. 0ur undercover colleague is in a car in front of us and he is following the dealer ina taxi, who is meant to be leading him to his house, where the chimpanzees are. we are in convoy with the police and we are told it will be about 30 minutes until we get there. this was the pivotal moment in the investigation and it was incredibly tense. if we got too close, we risked being seen. but too far and we would lose them.

a tracking device helped to guide us along a highway. 0k, 0k cool. a call from our undercover team ahead of us. we were leaving the highway and heading into a maze of dusty streets on the edge of abidjan. we were obviously getting closer. using a hidden camera, our undercover colleague filmed his arrival at the dealer's house. we weren't far behind. 0ur colleague took pictures.

his story was that he needed to send proof to a wealthy buyer in indonesia. then he pretended to ring his client. in fact, this was the signal for the police raid to begin. initially, there was confusion.

the chimpanzee had been hidden. and everyone there denied knowing anything about it. and ibrahima had also vanished. detectives charged through the neighbourhood. they called on local people to help. minutes later, police got their man. they've got him.

ibrahima had been caught. one minute he had been discussing a deal that would have earned him tens of thousands of dollars, the next, he was under arrest. the police then focused on his family's house. they weren't taking any chances, everyone was ordered to the ground. and the search led them to a small room where they found a crate holding the chimpanzee. so the police have just made all of these arrests. it is pretty edgy here, the atmosphere, and it is all about this — a baby chimpanzee

taken from the jungle. the real tragedy of this trade is that to get one infant chimpanzee out of the jungle, all of the adults in its family have to be killed. that's as many as ten adults slaughtered just to get one chimp here ready for trade. we'd been advised not to touch the chimp until a vet had checked him. so for a few agonising moments, he was all alone. the police then made a major discovery. that this house was a key centre for chimpanzee trafficking. for years, when investigators have

been looking for clues about smuggled chimpanzees, they had often seen these blue tiles in the background of the videos offered by the traders. this is it, what everyone calls the blue room, it's like a holding centre for animals on their way to be trafficked abroad. time to go. a crowd gathered outside the house. the cops are getting worried. many here were beginning to take the side of the men who had been arrested. the atmosphere was becoming more tense. the police told us that we all had to go. in the back of a car,

the baby chimp watched nervously. a new chapter in its short life was about to begin. at the interpol headquarters in abidjan, the questioning began. ibrahima faced charges relating to wildlife trafficking. so did his uncle, mohamed. the chimpanzee was yet again searching for reassurance. he clambered towards the only people he knew. the men who had been holding him captive. the police colonel in charge of the operation was clear about why the trafficking had to be stopped. the dealers‘ mobile phones,

a potential treasure trove of information about how the smuggling worked and who was involved. after the raid, the action moved here to lyon, in the south of france, and the headquarters of interpol. those mobile phones and laptops were analysed and an investigation which had started into one dealer in one country suddenly broadened. his voice? perfect.

so you've got him. the detectives quickly found evidence of global connections. from the hunters in thejungles, to the middleman, to corrupt officials and ultimately to the buyers. this was the starting point for dismantling an international criminal network. the bbc was given access to this material. it revealed a history of baby chimpanzees being stocked in this small, blue room, all heading for a life of captivity abroad. 0n the dealer's mobile phone, a video of a chimpanzee destined for china. the tiny animal can't have been more than a few weeks old. and on his computer, more cites permits for chimps and other animals set to be traded between countries as distant as china and south africa, nepal and congo. we put this to the head of the cites convention. we showed him the two permits that we'd managed to get.

surely, it shouldn't be so easy to get hold of the permits that allow you illegally to export animals, including chimpanzees? yes. so, people steal permits. people photocopy permits. if you think, we can, in 2016, people can make false currency. think of all of the security that goes around creating a british currency or a us currency. so these permits aren't secure then? neither is anybody‘s currency, because people who are savvy can make counterfeits, they make counterfeit passports. isn't that admitting defeat in some way? absolutely not, it's putting it in context. that if people are criminally minded and they can see a profit in something, they will do what they can to manipulate that system to their advantage. whether it is a passport, a currency, drivers license

or a cites permit. exploiting that weakness was ibrahima. and it turns out that he comes from a family involved in animal trafficking. his brother operates from the democratic republic of congo. he was named by cites for illegally trading in endangered birds. and his father, al—hassan, also seemed to be involved. his bank account was known to be used for payments, including ours, allowing the lucrative trafficking to continue. for interpol, to tackle this is a massive undertaking. and until now, governments have wanted it to focus on other threats to wildlife. like the smuggling of ivory and rhino horn. at the moment, chimpanzees are not a priority. without the funding, we cannot do anything. but what we're trying to become is more intelligence led so we start looking at what the threats are and what law enforcement needs to address in orderto maintain

a level of security. so, primates, unfortunately, our information holdings is not as strong as it could be. but now safe at the zoo in abidjan. the keepers named him nemleyjunior. he was most relaxed when clinging to someone. a first look at a chimpanzee family. later, they may live together. or he will be found a home in a sanctuary. the materialfrom our investigation has been given to the authorities. ibrahima and his uncle are awaiting trial. the trade won't be stopped overnight, but this one network at least is now out of action. hello, there, good morning.

we are continuing to miss the very worst of the weather this weekend. we've seen this area of cloud here run just to the south of the uk, bringing with it some damaging winds and very heavy rain across northern spain and france. another area of cloud following in behind, another area of low pressure. again, it is steering just to the south of the uk. some of that rain though clipping the south coast and the south—east of england. we've got different sort of issues early sunday — where the cloud breaks, there will be a touch of frost, some icy patches, particularly across wales and the south—west of england. some patchy fog through the midlands, towards the south—east

and also northern ireland. that will be a little slow to lift. a fair bit of cloud around. that rainjust clipping the south—east of england. many place bright, ending up with some sunshine and drier through the afternoon. just one or two showers, mainly across coastal areas, perhaps across northern ireland and western scotland. more showers though later in the day along the eastern side of scotland and maybe the north—east of england but mainly inland areas enjoying some sunshine. a better day for northern scotland than it was on actually on saturday. a chilly sort of look to the temperatures — 5—7 being fairly typical. some sunshine around across england and wales. that area of cloud and rain in the south—east corner pulls away and with light winds, clear skies inland, we're going to find temperatures falling away fairly quickly. later on the night, increasing cloud and wind coming in to northern ireland, far south—west of england and wales. but frost likely for many areas, particularly in the country side, and we will find some patchy fog around as well. particularly across the eastern side of the uk to begin with on monday. 0ut towards the west we continue to see the winds picking up, the cloud giving way to rain in northern ireland, wales and the south—west.

that pushing very slowly into scotland, towards the midlands, central and southern england in the afternoon. a bit of snow over the scottish hills. quite chilly for eastern areas after that cold and frosty start. but at least it should be dry and bright after that early fog. we'll get the rain though overnight, and that will struggle to clear away on tuesday. that weather front moving its way very slowly eastwards and then getting blocked off by those easterly winds so damp and dreary for the eastern side of the uk on tuesday. further west, there will be some sunshine around, maybe a few showers, particulalrly towards the south—west. here temperatures 9—10 degrees, under the rain struggling at 6 celsius or so. as we head through the rest opf the week, a real battle taking place between these milder south to south—westerly winds that we will get for a while in the west and colder winds from the east that will eventually win out towards the end of the week. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america
