Plenty of the smaller ones have gone bust, the smaller ones have gone bust, the smaller ones have gone bust, the smaller ones are feeling the pinch, as well. Having to cap the rates of their standard variable tariffs they say has had a big effect on them. E. 0n is under pressure and says they will normally merge their consumer facing businesses. They will merge their call centres, Customer Service divisions. It is not entirely clear what is going to happen to the npower brand itself. What we know is that several call centres are likely to shut down. There is a centre just outside sunderland, some 2,000 people work there. There is another office in a whole were 600 people work. Another in worcester, with 600 jobs, is under threat. This is a severe blow for npower workers and comes at a very bad time for them. If you look at the economics of the market, it is not altogether surprising. Joining me now is the uk chief executive of npowers parent company, e. 0n, michael lewis. Thank you for coming in. You are talking up to a500 job cuts. Can you be more specific . At this stage we have outlined the proposals for restructuring npower. As theo said, the economics of the market in the uk dictate this is what we have to do if we want to create a Sustainable Business for our employees and customers for the future. At this stage it is an extremely sad day for our employees andi extremely sad day for our employees and i want to reassure them all we are going to make sure we mitigate the negative impacts of this announcement. We will look to ensure that enhanced redundancy payments are maintained and we will look at reskilling. All pensions will be secured. Is the business sustainable .

We will migrate all of npower because my customers to e. 0ns platform. Npower has been making heavy losses for many years. The economics of the uk Energy Market were made very difficult by the price cap. Let me come back to back in the second. Will customers keep faith with the company . You have lost aa7,000 customers already this year. Customers dont have to do anything. We will notify them when they become an e. 0n customer. We are 100 committed to driving our target of Renewable Energy only. There are good reasons why we think customers would want is that e. 0n wants we com plete would want is that e. 0n wants we complete the migration. The most important thing to focus on today is oui important thing to focus on today is our employees. I want to reassure them we will do everything we can to mitigate the negative effects of these proposals. The gmb union is calling this a poorly managed company with significant losses in the uk and saying it is always the workers who face the brunt of poor management and regulation, referring to the government price cap. Should you do over this . Youre presiding over a company that isnt persistent and serious difficulty. We only acquire the company in the last two months. What we have announced in the proposals are so that we can create a Sustainable Business for the future. We can reduce the losses, get back to a reasonable rate of return so we compete in the market. We want a Sustainable Business for our employees and build the workforce of the future to our apprenticeship schemes. We provide a huge number of stable, jobs in the uk, afully huge number of stable, jobs in the uk, a fully unionised labour force and we want to be able to continue doing that. What proportion of the uk workforce does this a500, coupled with the 900 from earlier this year. A500 is three quarters of the workforce. That is massive. It is andi workforce. That is massive. It is and i dont want to downplay the magnitude of this transformation. Npower has been using money happily for many years. We have to take this action so we can create a Sustainable Business for the future. That statement talks about the workers facing the brunt of it, the statement from the union, they say regulation sense work overseas. 0ur other parts of the Company Facing the losses that uk workers are facing . It is no surprise that the uk Energy Market is under severe strain. The Energy Price Cap has not helped. We have seen a huge number of new entrants into the market, many pricing are very, very low levels. The big six competitors are not cutting jobs at this rate, are they . Most of our competitors are having to adjust to the reality of this incredibly competitive market. Three quarters of the uk workforce . 20 companies have failed in the last two years. 20 companies have failed in the last two yea rs. Every 20 companies have failed in the last two years. Every time one of those company feels it puts costs on everybody else. We are talking about the big six, arent we . Alll can say is we are doing all we can do. We only recently acquired npower and we wa nt we only recently acquired npower and we want a Sustainable Business for the future. That means we have to ta ke the future. That means we have to take radical action to make sure that we have a Sustainable Business. It is most important to recognise that we are doing everything we can. I want to reassure our workers that we will mitigate the negative effects of this announcement. All the things about retraining, making sure we have these enhanced redundancy payments. Up to 4500 people. We are just weeks away from christmas. People are incredibly anxious about this. How manyjobs will go, or were precisely those cuts will fall . At this stage, these proposals. We will go into intensive discussions with trade unions so i can give any more detail this stage. When will that detail come . We are in discussions with the trade unions. We want to discuss it with their workers before we talk to the media. We want to make sure we are as transparent and open as we can be with their workforce. We have a very Good Relationship with the trade unions and we want to maintain that. That is why are committed to reclaiming retaining enhanced redundancy payments and we will retrain, and we are committed to making sure that all pensions are held securely. Michael lewis, uk ceo of e. 0n, thank you for talking to me. The conservatives have complained to the broadcasting regulator about channel four, accusing it of bias and of a political stunt. The broadcaster replaced borisjohnson with an Ice Sculpture when he declined to take part in a debate about Climate Change last night. The brexit partys nigel farage also stayed away and was replaced by a sculpture, but five other Party Leaders took part. Heres our political correspondent, Jessica Parker lets get more with our deputy Political Editor, john pienaar. We are expecting a News Conference there very soon. The conservatives are trying to shift discussion on this topic to the actions of channel 4, this topic to the actions of channel a, but it is not stopping people making accusations about Boris Johnson not wanting to be a scrutiny. All of those questions are very life. We still dont know whether the Prime Minister is going to ta ke whether the Prime Minister is going to take part in the series of bbc 0ne to take part in the series of bbc one on one interviews over 30 minutes with andrew neil. That still seems to be up in the air. We have John Mcdonnell accusing the Prime Minister of running scared, in his words. Until that question is a nswered words. Until that question is answered i think those accusations will continue to be thrown, not only by opponents but by some more sympathetic to Boris Johnson, by opponents but by some more sympathetic to borisjohnson, too. What is more damaging, to face the kind of questioning or to avoid it . The conservatives very much trying to mould and control the narrative when it comes to debates and other interviews. Of course. I dont know if you can see the slogan on the stage set behind me, it says get brexit done. That is the slogan of the campaign. Boris Johnson Brexit done. That is the slogan of the campaign. Borisjohnson is keen to talk about that over and over again. Ina to talk about that over and over again. In a few moments the Prime Minister will be on the stage at michael gove. Geisler stewart is a strong euro sceptic and she will be backing the idea of voting conservative for the sake of getting brexit done. Michael heseltine, the former tory deputy Prime Minister, as blue as anyone can possibly be, was saying to vote lib dem to stop brexit. They will be putting the case for doing brexit. We will wait to see how much detail there is an all of this. Can borisjohnson faced detailed questions on that . He hasnt always been quite in command of the detail of the conservative policy offer, as he has been in commands of throwing out the catchy slogans. What you need to do is. How much would it cost so no one would have to sell their home . We need to bring together. You dont know, do you . I cant give you that figure now, no. Right, so you would issue a promise like this, no one will ever have to sell their home again, and you have no idea what it costs. I think there is a growing National Consensus that that is the way forward. We need to take the politics out of this and bring parties together and get on and do it. There will be listeners to this, thinking how marvellous, mum doesnt have to sell the bungalow, that doesnt have to sell the flat. The Prime Minister is asked about how much this costs and you dont have a clue. It is trust. The exact details have not yet been thrashed out. How can you promise that if you dont know you can afford it . Well, certainly we will. So, that was borisjohnson not putting any real detail on the policy other than the idea that no one would have to sell their homes to pay for social care. In the last election they whence into great detail about a policy that would lead to people selling their homes and there was a huge backlash. They are not stepping into the bear trap again. Still Big Questions on where the subject is going because polls now say that social care is right up there with housing among the concerns of the british people when it comes to looking at policies on offer in this election more widely. Thank you, john. Dont forget that tonights Election Debate between leaders and senior Party Figures starts at 7. 00pm on bbc one and you can get live Fact Checking and analysis on bbc. Co.

The club say the decision was taken after recent results were not considered to be at the level required. Lets cross now to Gavin Ramjaun in the bbc sport centre. Its big news for the club. Its a pretty merciless task being a football manager at the very top. Absolutely. Unai emery was in charge for 18 months and he has paid the price for a terrible run of form, seven games without a win, their worst run of form since 1992. The writing had been on the wall for him for quite some time. The fans had turned against the club and is unai emery. There had been a toxic atmosphere at the emirates for the last few weeks. It culminated last night, losing 2 1 at home to frankfurt. The announcement came around ten oclock this morning that he was sacked. Arsenal are now said to be taken over by Freddie Lindberg, who will take over in the interim until they appoint somebody ona interim until they appoint somebody on a more permanent basis. This has come after a dreadful run of form for arsenal. They are eighth in the league, very much away from the top four at the moment, they are not in with any hope of winning the league this year. The club very much in need of change and that change has happened. They look to appoint somebody more permanent in the coming weeks. How is this news going down with the fans . The Arsenal Supporters trust has put out a statement saying that the board needs to take action and do more to safeguard the future. Right now, i think a lot of fans will be happy because they have been calling for unai emery to leave for quite some time. The fans have becoming more and more angry at the way the team has been performing. A lot of accusations thrown at him that he was tactically inept, his Man Management wasnt quite up to speed. Unai emery hasnt managed to turn things around. Granite shakur was stripped of the captaincy earlier this year. What happens Going Forward is the key thing for them now. Do they appoint is very important. Many names are being thrown into the hat for that.

Drone owners in the uk have until the end of today to register their devices or face a £1,000 fine. The new regulations cover any drone heavier than an average smartphone. Just under a year since britains second largest airport was brought to a halt by drones, its thought tens of thousands of devices are still not registered. Heres our transport correspondent, tom burridge. Before this weekend, anyone of us could buy almost any type of drone online or from a shop and fly it safely in an open field away from people, buildings and vehicles. As long as you dont lose sight of it, fly it in an airports exclusion zone, or above a00 feet. We are going to pull away from that report to go to the conservative party News Conference in london. The referendum didnt create division in society, it revealed it. Divisions between north and south, rich and poon between north and south, rich and poor, young and old with politicians of all parties feeling to have addressed it for so long. Across the country that were overlooked families and undervalued communities who believe the system was not working on their best interests. While some, particularly in london in the south east, reap the benefits of economic growth, other parts of the country were left behind. Rather than bring prosperity to these communities, globalisation seems to hold them out. Ageing infrastructure, low wage jobs, hold them out. Ageing infrastructure, low wagejobs, there are Public Services, fading high streets. These are common features of many places that voted to leave. The referendum was a chance for their voices to be heard and their concerns listened to. Far from helping these communities, the eu seemed a distant institution, deaf to their concerns. And it came to the Free Movement of people or the bureaucracy imposed on uk Interest Rates, the seem to actively w
