whatjeremy hunt has done is he has said the original energy price guarantee was meant to last two yearsth it was, that was irrespective of how high international gas prices would go. the problem that caused was it meant the government was facing an open—ended bill. tens, possibly even hundreds of billions of pounds. that is the kind of thing that makes investors nervous. he ended that. until april, investors nervous. he ended that. untilapril, people investors nervous. he ended that. until april, people will have security about how much energy will cost but after that the risks will be back on to consumers, and energy prices could go sky—high again. that is what forecasters are suggesting, they could go a high as 4300 in the spring so you have to assume that at some point the government will have to review this and say, we will bring in a replacement scheme which will at least help the poorest people and that will still cost money, but less than the original energy price guarantee would have done. , :, .:, , energy price guarantee would have done. , :, , done. energy of course something

on that point, the energy price guarantee and - energy price guarantee and previously the energy pricea unit of gas and electricity and also your daily standing charge. but it doesn't set a limit on your bills so this 2500 figure that we are often hearing of, isn't actually how much you will necessarily pay, and it is worth saying that there is extra help, there is £400 of your energy bill for everybody who has a domestic electricity supply, so basically everyone who pays for their actors to use, whether that is a prepayment metre or by direct debit, those payments will be starting to be made, the first one this month, if you are on sudden means tested benefits, then you will get the cost of living payment that kevin referred to earlier on, your correspondent kevin peachey, the £600. and if you are of state pension age and on means tested benefits, you will get more. so all in all this help could bring down a typical bill for someone on working age benefits of about £1400, rather than 2500, unless you are either disabled or over state pension age. and in terms of pensions, barbara crof

for uk households has increased today, but the rise has been restricted by the government's energy price guaranteenual bill has risen from just under £2,000 to £2,500. even after the government's intervention prices are twice as high as last winter, and charities say many people will be struggling to pay the bills. our business correspondent, theo leggett reports. maxine flewitt is deeply worried. her husband, ron, has a serious lung condition and she needs to keep him warm but she's struggling to pay for heating. we stay in bed longer in the morning so that we don't get up to have to need the heat. and this is already because it's got cold already this week, and we're like, what in the depths of winter, how are we going... how am i going to keep him healthy enough to live and be alive at the end of this winter? and that's no exaggeration, that's how i feel. the couple are among some 25 million households who will be paying more for their energy from today. the government's message is that it could've been a lot worse. with international energy prices soaring it's limited the amount of consumers c

the government announced that enormous package, tens of billions of pounds worth cool, the energy price guarantee that would have fixed the price of units of gas electricity, households for 2 years. he says that he's now under review, post april, next year when they will be looking at a much more targeted set of measures looking at the worst off in particular. the reason this is so toxic for the stresses, because really that had been the measure that she fallen back on amid all the criticism of the government's budget that it spoke the markets. she constantly fell back on. this idea that they had worked primarily to keep energy prices low for people for 2 years with a chance to hear at junking that measure on top of everything else, it would only add to lose trust as problems, but no doubt good and comforting words of reassurance this for the markets who will welcome this return to a much more orthodox way of doing business of doing fiscal policy, essentially raising taxes rep raising public spending cuts that the government promised would not happen. this will be good news for the market. all ri

since the war in ukraine, energy bills are much higher, despite the government's energy price guaranteeinty provided with this deal, for consumers what they pay in the future remains unclear. ramzan kamali, bbc news. let's cross now to our top story, a developing story coming out of the south korean capital, seoul, we are reporting 146 people have died and that seoul halloween celebration crush. 150 people injured. many of those injured have been taken to hospital and we are hearing now from local officials that many of those injured have been seriously injured. earlier on, as you can see, there was confusion, there was chaos leading up to the event, during and after the event. it is said that 100,000 people gathered in a small district of seoul. the area is very popular with seoul's young people. halloween apparently is one of the busiest weekends of the year in the south korean capital. we were talking to a localjournalist earlier who said the emergency broadcast had been sent to every mobile phone in the area urging people to return home as soon as possible. this happened in the itae

since the war in ukraine energy bills are much higher, despite the government's energy price guarantee april, so even though there's been some certainty provided with this deal for consumers what they pay in the future remains unclear. ramzan kamali, bbc news. ramzan is here with me now. the government and octopus... to transitioning period will last around six months. by april, all customers from bulb will be on the octopus systems. the advice for customers at the moment is that they don't have to do anything and it should be a seamless transition into a octopus's systems. if you have credit with bulb, that should also be transferred across to your account. the advice again is sit tight, it will all happen eventually and by april he should be on octopus's system. the issue that a lot of bulb customers might add is, hang on a minute, ijoined bulb for a particular reason. one reason we have heard is that they kept all their energy from renewable sources. they are pretty green company. i spoke to greg jackson, the boss, and he reassured me we have the same principles as bulb, we come fro

with their energy bills this winter, it's probably the only policy we know is safe, that energy price guaranteeapped to £2500, the government will in effect pick up the tab for any increases in wholesale gas above that, but interest rates are the big one at the moment, it could bring a bit more pain, currently the base rate is 2.5%, the governor yesterday said washington expects that to go up higher even than he expected, we expect a 1% rise at the start of november, analysts already factoring in another one by a percentage point rise in december, so we could see the base raping a.25% by the end of the base raping a.25% by the end of the year, if you have a mortgage of £200,000, if it does go to the point in five that would see your monthly payments go up by £211. —— seek the base rate go up. payments go up by £211. -- seek the base rate 90 urn-— base rate go up. meanwhile we will aet some base rate go up. meanwhile we will get some kind _ base rate go up. meanwhile we will get some kind of _ base rate go up. meanwhile we will get some kind of idea _ base rate go up. meanwhile we will get some
