good afternoon. the government has asked for an independent review of the uk energy market — just days after british gas announced it was putting up its standard electricity price by 12.5%. theresa may did pledge to cap energy prices in the conservative manifesto, but the policy has been shelved. that happened since she lost her majority in the election. now the business secretary greg clark says the review will examine how prices can be kept as low as possible while ensuring the uk still meets its climate change targets. here's our business correspondent joe lynam. how much we pay for our energy to run our households and companies always ignites our passions. policies like capping energy prices to support working families... that's why theresa may promised a price cap and an independent probe into the energy sector before the general election. and now this oxford university professor has only three months to find out where any fat can be trimmed from our energy bills. he says he'll sort all

of the facts from the myths about pricing and costs. but some consumer groups are sceptical. prices are a very real problem for families across britain, and a very urgent problem. this review is going to deliver benefits in a year's time, if it delivers benefit at all. so the people left with the feeling of a government that is kicking the can down the road. there are many stages in the energy value chain, but the main ones include buying gas and electricity on wholesale markets. that accounts for 36% of a typical bill. moving it through pipes and cables or distribution costs accounts for 29% of atypical bill. but 13% of our bill also includes the subsidies for poorer households, and the cost of developing britain's renewable green energy supplies. the rest is made up of operational costs. and vat. tom burke, who used to advise labour and conservative governments on energy policy, says there's not much that can be achieved in a three

month time frame. i think the review is essentially headlined management. i don't think dieter, heroic though he is, is going to be able to come up with something that isn't already widely discussed inside the energy community where we know that the quickest and cheapest way to drive bills down is to improve the efficiency of our buildings. this investigation will allow the government to show that it's not tone deaf in the face of rising gas and electricity prices, especially since only last week, britain's largest provider, british gas, increased its standard electricity prices by 12.5%. joe lynam, bbc news. both the us and china have welcomed tougher sanctions against north korea in the wake of its recent ballistic missile testing. the un security council agreed the scanctions last night. this morning, china's foreign minister said he hoped north korea would take what he said would be the smart decision on testing. earlier he met the american secretary of state rex tillerson at a conference of south—east asian countries. yogita limaye reports from

the south korean capital of seoul. it contains some flash photography. a picture that masks the tension in this group. at a meeting in manila, the us secretary of state rex tillerson was for the first time in the same room with his north korean counterpart. the two countries are in the midst ofa the two countries are in the midst of a fierce confrontation over these missile tests by pyongyang which experts believe could reach the us. on saturday, the un security council passed fresh sanctions against north korea, drafted by washington they are aimed at hitting pyongyang's exports and, therefore, economy. at this meeting between south korea's foreign minister and mr tillerson the two leaders described

the sanctions as a good outcome. the measures were even backed by china, north korea's ally and top trade partner. translation: the chinese side urge the north koreans to calmly handled the un security council resolutions and not do anything beneficial such as a missile launch or nuclear test. for north korea the new sanctions could mean the loss of about $1 billion. but experts say it is unlikely to deter the state—run conducting more nuclear and missile tests. the north koreans are unlikely to negotiate anything until they will have a proven capability to deliver a nuclear strike to the continental united states. once they get such a capability, probably in a few years, they are probably going to talk. here in seoul the president's that has welcomed the un resolution but

the response in north korea has been expectedly belligerent. a newspaper run by the country's ruling party said the us would be catapulted into a sea of fire if it did not change its hostile policy towards pyongyang. in manila the us secretary of state commemorated those who died in world war ii, and with his meetings there he hopes to contain the threat from north korea. it is making the americans nervous, but there seems to be more immediate solution. a man has died and another has been found clinging to a buoy after a boat sank in the english channel early this morning. the coastguard has launched a search for other crew members. the vessel went down near shoreham. our correspondent simonjones is there for us now. what is the latest? two men are still missing, believed to be in the water. we have had two coastguard helicopters in the sky searching for them and two lifeboats, passing

ships have also been asked to be on the lookout. it started at around 6am when a fishing boat spotted a man clinging to a buoy around two miles off the coast from around here. he was brought to shore, he had been in the water for several hours. he is a 45—year—old from london, we understand from romania originally. he told the emergency services that the boat he was on went down, it is unclear why, but three of his collea g u es unclear why, but three of his colleagues are missing. the hunt continued and at around 8:15am the body of a man was discovered and brought back to shore. the hunt is continuing for the two other men. the water temperature is around 15 degrees, so as each hour passes, the hope is fading. thank you, simon jones. the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable has criticised elderly brexit supporters for,

as he puts it, "comprehensively shafting" young people in the uk. in an article in a sunday paper, sir vince — who is himself 7a —says older leave voters are willing to endure economic pain as a badge of honour, although many of them do not have a job to lose. he says they have had the last word on brexit by imposing a world view coloured by nostalgia for britain's imperial past. the children's commisioner for england, anne longfield, says parents should limit the amount of time their children spend online. she likened the internet to junk food, saying that overuse could have a detrimental affect on children's confidence and well—being. we wouldn't let our children out in a kind of strange city without, you know, giving them guidance and looking after them, and actually we really shouldn't for their digital world either. so this is about equipping children, about enabling them to have the confidence to manage their time online and also their confidence to say no to that constant drain and pressure of always being there. the american sprinterjustin gatlin

will receive his gold medal later today after his dramatic 100 metres victory over usain bolt at the world athletics championships last night. gatlin has returned to the track after two drugs bans and was booed by sections of the stadium. andy swiss is there for us this lunchtime. andy, it's a result that could overshadow today's events? laasma's result has certainly pose the sports awkward questions. and the sports awkward questions. and the sight ofjustin gatlin, a two time drugs cheat on top of the medal podium will not sit easily with a lot of people, especially after his boat usain bolt‘s farewell party last night. it will be interesting to see what type of reaction he gets when he collected his gold medal later. the head of the iaaf lord coe says he hopes the fans will not boo him again, but interesting the

timing of the medal ceremony has been changed. it was due to be at apm in the middle of the action, it has been brought forward to 6:50pm, before things get under way. the organisers say they want to promote afair organisers say they want to promote a fair environment for the medal ceremony. elsewhere hopes of british success , ceremony. elsewhere hopes of british success, katarina johnson—thompson was fourth overnight in the women's heptathlon, she has moved to third. she has had a good javelin, a good long jump. just one more event remaining. thank you, andy says. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5pm. until then, enjoy your afternoon. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel.

an independent review into the cost of energy is being launched by the government — just days after british gas raised standard electricity prices by 12.5%. the study, which is expected to be published in october, will examine how prices can be kept as low as possible — while ensuring the uk still meets its climate change targets. i spoke to tom burke chairman of the independent climate change think tank eg3, and asked him if he thought this review was a good idea? i welcome the idea of more information but i don't think it will uncover anything which is new. it is a three—month review. it is being led by a well—informed person but it is unlikely he will be adding anything to the equation that's already there. what we know, if you want to achieve your fuel poverty reduction goals and your climate goals and you want to improve the efficiency of the economy, what you need to do

is improve the energy efficiency of your building stock, that is the quickest and most reliable and most secure way of driving bills down. and what's more doing it permanently. the professor who is running the review says it will be independent and it will sort out the facts from the myths about the cost of energy. i'm always troubled by someone who comes up with the line, facts and myths, that often means they want you to use their facts and not your facts. we saw this with the airport commission and hs2, it is very difficult to do this, especially in three months. these are highly contested areas and there's a lot of opinion and very different judgments about what the facts mean, and that's what matters to consumers. what do they mean for people in their daily lives. is there a link between this review and the controversial price hike we had from british gas?

prices going up by 12.5%. yes, there is a link. it's a blame game, the industry wants to blame the government and the government wants to blame the industry and they are both at fault, in reality. utilities have not passed on the full benefit of falling energy prices and government has failed to implement its building regulations as effectively as it could. there is about may be 25% more savings we could get in our energy demand through efficient proper use of the building stock and infrastructure and investing it as if it were infrastructure. if we could get those savings it would drive down bills permanently and also improve the overall efficiency of the economy and meeting our climate targets. we heard in the election about the promise of a price cap on energy. what happened to that? laughter the government has adopted an ed miliband policy suddenly

which they roundly rubbished! and in both cases it was probably an attempt to manage the headlines rather than really change the outcomes. this won't be brought about by tinkering in the margins of price policy, this will be brought about if the government decides to make this part of its infrastructure programme, its industrial strategy, harnesses the energy in the cities to do this and then drives it forward as a proper investment programme. schools must stop trying "to wrap children in cotton wool" because it leaves them ill—prepared for the challenges of later life — that's the view of the chief inspector of schools. ofsted's amanda spielman says over—the—top health and safety rules stop children developing resilience — and she wants new guidance for schools in england. andy moore reports. it's clear the chief inspector

of schools is no fan of children in high—vis jackets. she says they look like troops of mini construction workers minus the hard hats. pupils, she claims, are being shortchanged by teachers trying to insulate them from every bump, germ, or bruise. take conkers, for example. she says every minute spent trying to ban it takes away from the multitude of real dangers children face. this is her message. she wants children to be allowed to take full advantage of the freedom of childhood to explore the world around them. and so, to that end, the 1,800 school inspectors in england will be taking part in sessions next month called, "when is safe, what really matters?" the aim is to get away from the tickbox culture of the past.

there is also a warning today that children are spending too much of their free time online. it comes from the children's commissioner in england who says youngsters are bingeing on social media in the same way they like to tuck into junk food. she says they want parents to regulate internet usage just like they would stop them eating cheeseburgers and chips for every meal. andy moore, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: a review into the cost of energy is dismissed as "cold comfort" by consumer groups, who say households are already paying too much. both the us and china have welcomed tougher sanctions against north korea in the wake of its recent ballistic missile testing. one man's died and two are missing after a boat sank in the english channel, off the coast of shoreham, in west sussex. a rescue operation is under way. a fourth man has been taken to hospital.

sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. in athletics and cricket. —— we have athletics and cricket. it's day three of the world athletics championships in london, and while usain bolt couldn't win gold in the 100 metres last night, britian‘s katerina johnson thompson is doing her best to move up the heptathlon standings. she had a lot of work to do but after her impressive run in the 200 metres lifted her back up to fourth place last night, she improved her position even more with a brilliant long jump of 6.56. it put her in the bronze position. which she then cemented with a season's best in the javelin. 41 metres 72 centimetres.

she's getting closer and closer to the silver medal position, with just the 800 metres to come tonight. geoffrey kirui has claimed gold in the marathon. the kenyan crossed the finish line after two hours eight minutes and 27 seconds knocking a minute and ten seconds off the time he got when he won this year's boston marathon. britain's callum hawkins, who briefly led during the early stages of the race, finished fourth, 27 seconds off the bronze medal. england are looking to build a big second innings lead on day 3 of the fourth and final test against south africa at old trafford. south africa were 220—9 going into today's play and they added just six more to that total before losing the final wicket of duanne olivier. but england have struggled as they look to build on that lead of 136 runs. they lost opener alastair cook for 10. then in similarfashion, tom westley was also caught out — he went for nine.

lets have a look at the scorecard now then, keaton jennings and captainjoe root out in the middle. england 53 for two at lunch, a lead of 189. the championship and scottish premiership seasons started yesterday and today it's the community shield at wembley. league winners chelsea take on fa cup winners arsenal in the traditional "friendly" ahead of the premier league season. david is at wembley for us. it is a friendly only in name because according to antonio conte a.d. chelsea manager all their friend in matches have finished and this is the competitive action —— antonio co nte, the competitive action —— antonio conte, the chelsea manager. the record signing for arsenal alexandre la cazette record signing for arsenal alexandre lacazette begins upfront for arsenal, but chelsea's record signing alvaro morata is not in the starting line—up, he is on the bench. fabregas begins for chelsea

in midfield. no alexis sanchez in the arsenal squad, he is the subject of speculation over his future but he doesn't start and is not on the bench. although he has been unwell and he was a late return from the confederations cup, so maybe not the surprise. we kick off at two o'clock, in a repeat of the fa cup final. thanks forjoining us. arsenal winning the fa cup final against chelsea, of course. today sees the final of euro 2017, as denmark play the hosts the netherlands, who knocked out england in the semi—finals. ahead of the game, danish head coach, nils nielsen has responded to dutch legend arnold muhren‘s claims that: "if you put the dutch women's team in front of a men's 5—member squad, they would still have big problems". i have no idea why he would actually say something like this. i would really hope everyone in holland would back their team

because they deserve their respect and they have played so well. they are fighting for the european championship. if you don't like women's football, please be quiet and don't say anything, don't be disrespectful and let the girls play. kick off for that match will take place at 4pm with live coverage on bbc radio five live and the bbc sport website. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. not quite yet, but we will be watching that very soon indeed! and now to some of the other stories this afternoon. a crew member has been found dead and two others are missing after two boats collided and one sank off the west sussex coast. the boats collided about two miles off the coast of shoreham. a fourth person was rescued and taken to hospital. coastguards are carrying out searches between worthing pier

in the west and brighton in the east. our correspondent simon jones is there for us. what is the latest? the searches are continuing for those two men missing, presumed to be in the water, the search has been ongoing since six club this morning when a passing fishing boat —— six o'clock this morning when a passing fishing boat spotted a man who was clinging to a buoy. he said that the boat it was on sunk, but it is not clear what happened. we can speak to the coast guard, what is happening? we are reviewing the search we have done so far, it has been very extensive, two helicopters and five lifeboats and a large number of vessels. they have been out to help

us, soa vessels. they have been out to help us, so a big search effort through this morning. we are now reviewing what the areas which have been cove red what the areas which have been covered and any areas which we need to cover again. what can you say about how it appears this fishing boat came to sink? at this stage it is too early to comment. we are still putting the information together, but we have one survivor and what he is able to tell us will be valuable but what we can say, whatever happened happened very quickly, there was no distress call and nobody raised the alarm until the man was found this morning. there was talk there might have been a collision, what about that? again, it is something which will be reviewed and looked at. it is not a massively busy area here and it is not like you are out in the shipping channels, but it will be something we look at. at the moment it is still a game of piecing together the

information we have. the man who was rescued, he is from london but originally from romania, how is he? he has been through a very traumatic incident and he has been in the water for a significant length of time. he is receiving the medical ca re time. he is receiving the medical care he needs. the police are working with him to gain any information they can to help us with what we are trying to achieve is a lucky to be alive? -- is he villa lucky to be alive? -- is he villa lucky to be alive? -- is he villa lucky to be alive? —— is he lucky. anyone who is in the sea for that length of time, without any protective equipment, even at this time of year, he is very lucky to be alive. as time goes on, the hope of finding the other survivors will diminish? that is right. 15 degrees at this time of year, probably, the longer any search progresses the

slimmer the chance of finding somebody alive in those things are extended if you are wearing life jackets or projective equipment but we don't believe that is the case —— protective. as it goes on, unfortunately, the chances of survival are very slim. what are the conditions like out there? conditions overnight were good, less wind than we have now and a nice evening, and i'm sure that it was a nice evening to be out on the water. no reason at all that you would say, it is stormy or bad weather because it is stormy or bad weather because it has been quite pleasant. have we've been able to glean anything from the man who was rescued? —— have we. we believe they set out from brighton, potentially. other than the fact that whatever happened happened incredibly quickly, at the moment it is a waiting game to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

what kind of resources are you going to commit to this? that will be something that is determined when we have reviewed the search efforts we have reviewed the search efforts we have done. two helicopters and 4—5 lifeboats and various wind farm vessels. and we have broadcast to the pleasure craft who are going through the area, so the area has been thoroughly saturated already. we will review this and decide where we go from here. thanks forjoining us. it has been a very busy day so farfor us. it has been a very busy day so far for the us. it has been a very busy day so farfor the emergency us. it has been a very busy day so far for the emergency services for top the lifeboat and the coast guard and that is continuing. thanks for joining us. smart vehicles which are connected to the internet can make life easierfor drivers, allowing them to access maps, travel information and digital radio services. but there are warnings that unless manufacturers improve security, hackers could target them to access personal data or even take control of the car. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. cars can do far more for drivers

now than ever before. they can park themselves. they can even drive themselves. but all that technology also makes them vulnerable to cyber attack, so the government says it wants to act by forcing carmakers to do more to prevent vehicles from being hacked remotely. that includes stealing personal details such as phone numbers stored with the car. but also to prevent the car itself from being controlled remotely while you are at the wheel. maybe cyber security could actually affect the safety of our cars, but it has been the case that some of the hacks that have been around can affect the safety of cars, from turning the steering wheel to putting the brakes on so this isn't a new problem but perhaps more of a new focus on another problem. although it's not publishing any new legislation, nor has it carried out any specific research into the scale if any of the issue, the government still wants manufacturers to think about the risks of a cyber attack on the private vehicles of the future.

fully autonomous vehicles will be with us in the next few years and we need to make sure there's public acceptability and secondly that they are designed to be cyber robust. britain hopes to become the go to place for modern car technology, including self driving cars and electric vehicles. the advances are rapid. always staying in front of the hackers, though, will be an equal challenge. joe lynam, bbc news. it's perhaps a little known contest, but the country's most skilled shepards have been competing this weekend at the macclesfield sheep dog trials. the event is almost 70 years old, but it's now beginning to attract some of the younger budding farmers. mairead smyth reports. they're called man's best friend for a reason, and these border collies and their owners have something special. it is a bond between the shepherd and the dog.

he has loads of different commands. he is now using his whistle because the dog is further away. the national finals were hosted here two years ago, and that has helped to make this event even more popular. we have got some shepherds from wales competing today and we have got an excellent local committee of farmers who put the event on, and we also have other things happening as well. it has helped bring everything together and it has grown over the years. being a shepherd takes great skill and years of practice, but all of the competitors had to start somewhere. this weekend's youngest winner is just eight years old. ifeel quite happy because i won these. i like looking after my dogs and training them up for trials and stuff. sheepdog trials like this happen most weekends around the country, but this one in macclesfield

is the most popular, with a record number of entrants this year. the shepherds scoring the highest points can look forward to a place in next year's national championship. that was mairead smyth reporting from cheshire. and now we can have a look at the weather. it isa it is a mixed bag. very mixed. area of low pressure moving in from the west, the satellite picture shows the thicker cloud across north—western areas but it won't reach the south east, with sunny spells continuing. in the afternoon, heavy rain moving into parts of scotla nd heavy rain moving into parts of scotland and north west england and maybe south—west england, but an improving picture for northern ireland. ahead of the rain band, it will stay sunny, temperatures 22 degrees. windy as well, it will stay

quite unsettled overnight, further showers, the rain band becomes stalled and there could be a lot of rain across north—western england into wales and the midlands and into the south west. the south—east again staying dry and the weather front straddling several areas and there could be heavy rain in the south—west, sunshine in the south—east and further north and west will continue with sunshine and showers, temperatures 17—20 degrees.
