a typical household will see bills rise — but when compared to the same period as last year, they'll be slightly lower. also on the programme: a sixth foreign tourist dies from drinking suspected poisoned alcohol in laos in south east asia. more than 300 people affected by the manchester arena bombing are told they can't continue their legal action against mi5. and there are calls for tighter regulations at barber shops, as customers pick up skin infections from unhygienic haircuts. coming up on bbc news, we hearfrom manchester city manager pep guardiola for the first time since extending his stay at the club for two more years.

good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. the energy regulator ofgem has announced its latest price cap from january to march — which covers 26 million households across england, wales and scotland. the latest review will see bills rise by 1.2% from january, meaning a household using a typical amount of gas and electricity will pay £1,738, £21 a year more. despite the rise, it does represent a 10% drop in a typical household's energy bills from january to march this year. but as some homes look ahead to a winter with reduced government support, there are still concerns about making ends meet, as our cost of living correspondent colletta smith explains. so we have three washers here, four tries and a big washer.— tries and a big washer. customers here know — tries and a big washer. customers here know how— tries and a big washer. customers here know how to _ tries and a big washer. customers here know how to make _ tries and a big washer. customers i here know how to make every penny stretch further.— stretch further. drying is really --oular. stretch further. drying is really pepular- peeple _

they did. the mad thing is, the price cap was only ever supposed to be a ceiling. it wasn't supposed to be a ceiling. it wasn't supposed to be the price we were paying. but because of the spike we saw in energy over the last two or three years, it's effectively been the default price that the majority of households in britain have ended up paying. now that that price is dropping, we are starting to see the market get back to something a bit more like normal. we are still way above where we were previously, but there are more deals on the market. there is a bit more competition and the regulator has said today that people could save as much as £140 a year by fixing today, compared to that january price. the thing to be aware of is that we don't know what's going to happen over the next year. that price cap may come down again, so there is no guarantee that you would save money. but for a lot of people, even having the stability of people, even having the stability of a fixed price would be helpful. colette, thank you. tributes have been paid to a british

woman who died following a suspected methanol poisoning in laos. 28—year—old lawyer simone white from london was described by her firm as a talented colleague who would be sincerely missed. it comes after the death of a sixth person in connection with the incident in the tourist town of vang vieng. police have arrested the manager and owner of a hostel in connection with the deaths. jessica lane has the latest. the death of holly bowles has been confirmed this morning, the day after that of her best friend bianca jones, who was also 19. holly had been rushed here to hospital in bangkok after drinking alcohol that's suspected to have contained methanol. she's the sixth person to have died in the suspected mass poisoning in vang vieng in neighbouring laos. in a statement, holly's family said "we are so sad to say that our beautiful girl holly is now at peace. we find comfort and solace in knowing that holly brought so muchjoy and happiness". holly and bianca played on a football team together

at home in australia. tonight at the season's launch, their friends say they will gather to remember them. families are taking a huge amount of comfort from the overwhelming support right across australia. back in vang vieng, people are worried. i won't drink from a glass, i won't drink from an open bottle and i won't drink home—made alcohol. it's scary, because not every day people are dying just like this. well, of course, it's going to affect tourism, i'm sure a lot of people are going to cancel. i hear there have been quite a few cancellations. 28—year—old lawyer simone white from orpington in south—east london has also died. the foreign office says it's supporting herfamily. in a statement, her company paid tribute, saying "it is with deep sadness that we mourn the tragic passing of our dear friend and colleague. she will be sincerely missed". others including an american and two danish women are thought to have to have been victims

of the suspected poisoning. many were staying here at the nana backpacker hostwl, where staff have confirmed the manager has been detained by police. methanol is a colourless liquid that tastes similar to alcohol. it is often used in paint thinner, antifreeze and de—icer. a relatively small amount can be lethal, as it's absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. prompt treatment offers the best success. if you can get in early enough, then the outcome can be fine. laos is one of southeast asia's poorest nations, but it's popular with backpackers. the government here is now warning them all to be very careful about what they drink. jessica lane, bbc news. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes joins us from bangkok now, where the victims have been treated. rupert, what more do we know? well, i'm standing just outside the bangkok hospital. this is where holly bowles was confirmed to have died this afternoon, just 24 hours

after her best friend, also 19—year—old bianca jones, died in this hospital yesterday. as in that report, we also had simone white, 28—year—old british woman. she was not brought here to bangkok, she was treated in a hospital in vientiane, the capital of laos, where she also died yesterday. so this is a growing tragedy, as we can say, a six person confirmed dead today. we do not know how many others may have been sickened in this incident, although it does appear that happened some time ago. we think that certainly, the two women became sick about nine days ago. so it's quite a while now since that happened. it is hoped that means that more people are not falling sick now. there is a police investigation going on in vang vieng was not one of the things to come out of this is that laos has been

described by some on social media is a bit of a wild west place where stuff is not very regulated. young backpackers are going there to have fun and enjoy themselves, but they may not understand the risks of drinking locally made liquor in this very unregulated environment. as we heard in that report, a very small amount of methanol can be fatal. as little as 25 millilitres of methanol in another drink can cause severe illness and even death. so the message going out from people here is, you're going to laos, you need to be careful about what you consume. to be careful about what you consume-— to be careful about what you consume. , ., ~ , ., the cop 29 climate summit is coming to an end in azerbaijan, as the nations taking part continue to disagree over the funding of climate related initiatives. delegates in baku have been trying to negotiate a deal that would dramatically increase the amount of money wealthier countries give to poorer ones to help them adapt to global warming. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, joins us now from baku. justin, will they manage to agree

this before the talks end? well, the talks end at 6pm, so the end about two hours from now, 6pm azerbaijani time. i think we will probably going to saturday or possibly even sunday. but we do have an opening gambit. the text has landed, which includes figures for the finance goal that you just talked about. there are two figures here. there is one that is the core finance, the finance linked to funds from developed and other countries that will be paid to developing countries. that is a much bigger sum which is the more aspirational figure. the first number, the core funding, the one that would require britain to perhaps go back and up its spending is $250 billion mostly rich countries would pay to developing countries. the bigger figure, 1.3 trillion, a whopping,

eye-popping figure, 1.3 trillion, a whopping, eye—popping figure, is more aspirational and would involve more, for example, private finance. but it has gone down very badly here. we are hearing that developing nations are hearing that developing nations are minded to reject it. wejust had the african group of nations saying it simply isn't enough. so effectively, the negotiations begin. this is the first bid, if you like, in the bartering process. it's unclear where that will end. i was talking to one of the people close to the organising team, can't say who it was, and they said they are assuming it's going on into saturday. but he was saying some of his negotiators didn't sleep last night. they are surviving on cigarettes and coffee, he said. i think he is worried about their capacity to conduct sensible negotiations into a second night, which is what we look set to get here. so i am wondering how long this process is going to take. we

will keep you posted.— will keep you posted. appreciate that, justin- _ donald trump has picked the veteran florida prosecutor pam bondi as his new nominee for us attorney general. ms bondi is a staunch ally of mr trump and defended him during his first senate impeachment trial. it's after his previous choice, matt gaetz, stepped aside following sexual misconduct allegations, which he denies. the government has confirmed it'll give police and councils new powers to tackle anti—social behaviour. respect orders — which were included in labour's manifesto — will allow persistent offenders to be banned from entering town centres or drinking in public places, and failure to comply would become a criminal offence. the king's coronation cost the country £72 million, according to official accounts. the department for culture, media and sport — which coordinated the event in may last year — described it as a "once in a generation moment" and said the figure fell within unofficial estimates. hundreds of people who were affected

by the manchester arena bombing have been told they can't continue their legal action against the security service m15. judges at a specialist tribunal have made the ruling, and our investigations correspondent, daniel de simone, can tell us more. daniel, what kind of case were survivors trying to bring? the survivors and bereaved families were bringing human rights claims against m15. the bombing took place in may 2017 until 22 people and injured many more. last year 1418 00:1
