our business correspondent theo leggett is with me. what is the reasoning for this?as says it is because of rising wholesale prices. they have to buy its gas and electricity from producers on the wholesale market and those costs have been going on. that is acknowledged and the reason it gives is an increase in the cost of crude oil. crude oil is used to produce gas and also electricity. so in means gas and electricity prices can go up. in means gas and electricity prices can go up. it seems that is what is happening. our others likely to follow suit because this is the second time in a year. all of the big six major energy suppliers have put their prices up this year. some of the more than once and we can expect others to follow. british gas have put them more than most of our, but when one acts, we often see others will follow suit as well. thank you very much. a man accused of murdering the staffordshire midwife, samantha eastwood, has appeared in court again via videolink. 0ur correspondent liz cropper is at stafford crown court. explain what happened today? this
