News, tiger woodss injury woes continue. He has dropped out of the second tournament since his return with back spasms. A very good afternoon to you. Theresa may is attending a European Union summit in malta, where shell brief leaders on her recent meeting with President Trump. Downing street says she wants relations with the eu to be more constructive and positive. Ahead of the talks, the german chancellor, angela merkel, said the leaders needed to focus discussions on europe, rather than dealing with other parts of the world. Our europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas is in malta. Yes, you join us in On Ancient Fortress Perched on the edge of malta. The island sits in the mediterranean on the edge of the eu, and this feels a very apt place for leaders to be meeting today to discuss the many challenges they see facing them. Multis ancient canons. Europe feels threatens again. So this volley was an appropriate welcome to a summit that feels besieged, challenges on every side, migration, terrorism, now Donald Trumps america. Theresa may believes her nascent relationship with President Trump means she can be a bridge between europe and america. That could be an asset dealing with the eu, but it could also become a liability. Today we have mixed speaking feelings. The dangerous aspect of mr trumps politics are raising some concerns. Europes leaders are wary of mr trump and what they see as his hostility to the eu, said they were keen to see mrs mays first hand impressions. I think there are room for explanations, because sometimes there is the impression that the new administration doesnt know the European Union in detail, but in europe, details matter. If you anys president , always to the point, added europe didnt need a bridge. Today we communicate with The Americans on twitter, she said. The sense there are threats all around is driving eu leaders to focus on the challenges they face. This meetings agenda, the Migrant Boats still crossing the mediterranean, and the eus future after brexit. Finlands Prime Minister told me there is no way trade with britain will be as smooth once it is out of the eu. Of course there will be a change, because being a part of the single market, there are no barriers at all, but create a distance between the European Union and the uk, there will be some barriers anyway. Soon theresa may will be negotiating with all these leaders as she gears up for brexit she is facing a eu that under pressure is seeking to close ranks and shore up its defences. And we can speak to damian now. It is not going to be easy for her with this Exit Elephant In The Room . Its not, but the leaders today will put that to one side. What several of them said on the way in was that they are very keen to hear from mrs may have first hand report of her meeting with donald trump. That is one of the huge issues facing the eu, what to make of the new president , his pronouncements and policies. But it is important at this point that while that is something of an asset for theresa may, it is also tricky for her. The french president went into the meeting saying that countries should remember that their First Priority was within the eu, wasnt some relationship he said with the us, and so eu countries faced by all of these pressures, the new administration, the migrant crisis here, Migrant Boats still crossing the mediterranean, there is a sense that they are seeking to try to find ways to work better together, and the finnish Prime Minister said that to me. He said they want to focus on the things where they can deliver more and close ranks, and that is an Important Message for the uk. Thank you, damian. The Energy Company npower has announced one of the largest single price rises implemented by a big six supplier. Standard tariff Electricity Prices will rise by 15 from next month, and gas prices by almost 5 . Nearly three Million People are expected to be affected. The Company Blames increases in wholesale energy costs, and the cost of delivering Government Policies such as smart meters and the renewables obligation. It also adds its the first time it has raised prices in three years. Just two weeks ago, the Regulator Ofgem told suppliers they should absorb the costs of wholesale price rises by buying energy in advance. Our Business Correspondent john moylan reports. Try telling that to tip back ones customers. 1. 4 million are facing a jump customers. 1. 4 million are facing a jump in energy tariffs. Npower says it is the first major rise in more than three years. It is leaving rising wholesale gas and electricity cost, and the impact of Government Policies like the roll out of the roll out of smart meters. Npowers dualfuel roll out of smart meters. Npowers dual fuel customers roll out of smart meters. Npowers dualfuel customers will roll out of smart meters. Npowers dual fuel customers will pay an extra £109 per year, that is 10 more. It includes 4. 8 on standard gas prices and a whopping 15 increase on standard electricity braces. This is a significant price rise will that will cost a million customers £100 per year more on energy, so customers really need now more than ever to look around to get the best deal. Its not the first of the best deal. Its not the first of the big suppliers to move. Edf was my customers will pay around 8 more for electricity from the 1st of march, and some warned that other firms may follow suit, adding to pressure on household budgets. But the Energy Regulator has criticised the Energy Regulator has criticised the move, saying we dont see any case for significant Price Increases we suppliers have bought energy well in advance. Npower must therefore justify the decision to its customers. And npowers move could spark a political row by highlighting the rising cost of Government Policies like subsidies for wind farms. Today the department for wind farms. Today the department for business warned that where markets are not working, it is prepared to act. And johns with me now. The government response to this has been strong it says it will act if customers are being treated unfairly. Are they on a Collision Course . It is unusual for the government to talk about specific companies, but todayit talk about specific companies, but today it has said it is concerned by npowers plans to increase prices, and making the point that where markets dont work the customers, it will act. The reason it is concerned is energy bills are big part of household expenditure, and the government knows that this plays into the debate about the millions of households that are just about managing. Two thirds of households are on standard tariffs, these are loyal customers who havent switched and end up paying more for the energy then people on fixed tariffs. The companies tell me they face Cost Increases that they have to pass on, so it is notjust wholesale price costs, the Government Policy Costs like the green energy, the rich rule the roll out of smart meters, and those costs will hit loyal customers the hardest. What will the government do . We have had a two year investigation into the energy market, and in the end they stepped back from protected loyal customers. If we get all the other companies increasing prices, too, and hitting loyal customers, will the government wonder if it needs to step in and act help them . Thank you. A french soldier has shot and seriously wounded a man who attacked guards at the Louvre Museum in paris. A Police Spokesman said the man who was wielding a machete had shouted god is great in arabic. The french Prime Minister said it appeared to be a terrorist attack. France is still in a State Of Emergency because of the attacks in paris and nice. 0ur Correspondentjonny Dymond sent this report. In the heart of the french capital outside one of its greatest treasures, the louvre, an attack in broad daylight. Translation we heard gunshots. We didnt know what it was. Then we evacuated the employees and we left, thatis evacuated the employees and we left, that is what happened. Some colleagues were crying, and we were afraid, we were panicking. Translation it happened very fast, we saw death coming for us with everything that has been happening at the moment. We were very, very scared. The reason for the shots, a Machete Attack by a man on soldiers guarding the area, explained a police spokeswoman. Translation in the commercial area, the man threw himself at a soldier who was there, armed with at least one knife, possibly two, with the appearance of a terrorist. The soldier was injured, and his collea g u es soldier was injured, and his colleagues fired at injured the individual. He was very seriously injured in the stomach area. France has seen much like this, and worse, before. In attacks in 2015, first 12 then 100 and 30 were killed across paris. Six months ago, more than 80 were killed in nice. Both times, the attacks were claimed by islamist terrorists. Before he launched his attack, the man called out allahu akhbar, but is great in arabic. The french Prime Ministers said it was a terrorist attack, as the louvre was closed. President trump has continued his twitter attacks against irans test launch of a ballistic missile, warning the country that its playing with fire. He said his predecessor, barack 0bama, had been kind in making a deal with tehran over its nuclear programme. Yesterday, mr trump said iran had been put on notice. Tehran responded saying we will never use our weapons against anyone exceptin never use our weapons against anyone except in self defence. Lets speak to our correspondent in washington kim ghattas. We are now at the end of a week of this sort of language. How are we to assess mr trumps comments . It is quite the day when a tweet by the iranians Foreign Minister is more measured and diplomatic than a tweet by the american president. It started early this morning with this latest tweet from President Trump saying that his predecessor had been too kind towards iran, and as you said, it has been quite a week of people in American Foreign policy, with not just people in American Foreign policy, with notjust americas people in American Foreign policy, with not just americas foes people in American Foreign policy, with notjust americas foes being put on notice, but also it allies. We had this tense conversation with the australian Prime Minister yesterday, and tense conversations with the mexican president. But the question now is, is Reality Setting in . Is the president being tempered by his Cabinet Secretaries . Because at the same time as he is rewriting the textbook on American Foreign policy, his Cabinet Secretaries are sending a very different tone. The secretary of defence in asia reassuring allies about the Stea Dfastness reassuring allies about the steadfastness of the relationship between the us and its allies in asia. We have the Us Ambassador to the un saying that although the United States would like better relations with russia, it also condemns russias actions in ukraine, and then a statement on israeli settlements being built in palestinian occupied land, with a statement saying that the United States would like to caution israel against building more settlements. However it also did add that settle m e nts however it also did add that settlements were not an impediment to peace, and that is a departure from long Standing American State m e nts from Long Standing American Statements and policy. So President Trump rewriting us foreign policy, sounding belligerent but also a bit more traditional, and of course the word hanging on his every word and every tweet. Kim, thank you very much indeed. While the president has commented on Irans Nuclear capability, his new Defence Secretary says the states will deliver an effective and overwhelming response of north korea uses Nuclear Weapons. Speaking at the end of his two day visit to south korea, the new American Defence secretary, james mattis, said any attack on the United States or its allies would be defeated. 0ur seoul correspondent steve evans reports. What to do about the Nuclear Arsenal being developed in north korea . Thats the problem facing The Americans, japanese and south koreans. Kim jong un tested two Nuclear Devices last year, and is making progress towards getting missiles capable of, in his words, Turning Washington And Seoul into a sea of fire. Mr mattis is doing a reassurance tour, his first foreign foray of the Trump Administration. We stand side by side was todays message in south korea. Any attack on the United States or on its allies will be defeated. Any use of Nuclear Weapons will be met with a response which will be effective and overwhelming. There are 28,000 us troops in south korea. The american threat to retaliate with Massive Force if attacked will not be news to kim jong un. The bigger question is whether to talk to the north korean leader, to try to persuade him to abandon or limit the size of his Nuclear Arsenal. On that, the Trump Administration is so far silent.

The only road bridge linking the two halves of the North Yorkshire town of tadcaster will re open later today. It was destroyed by severe flooding more than a year ago and People Living and working in the town have faced a long detour to get across the river wharfe. 0ur correspondent danny savage reports. 0pening day of tadcasters road bridge. 13 months after it was swept away. They were working right up to the last minute, putting the surface down. There is a will to get traffic going across it from the moment its finished. Go on, go on, get going. The destruction of the ancient crossing was one of the defining images of the 2015 winter floods. The force of the river wharfe caused it to collapse. It left the town completely divided, an 18 mile round trip was required to get from one side of the river to the other. After several weeks a footbridge was put solving the problem. I think the footbridge has been great, people have talked to each other. And instead ofjust waving to each other from the passing car as they are crossing on the bridge, the people of Tadcaster Have stopped to talk to each other, its been great. But it hasnt been so great for businesses. Theyve lost trade and have been desperate for the road bridge to reopen. I live on the east, i have a business on the west. I do school runs every morning, so to get us back as one community instead of divided is just amazing. Its a really, really good day. Its been devastating for the town, its broke the community in two, families have been split up. Parents live on one side, children live on the other, grandparents, grandkids. And for some people its been a really difficult task, getting from one si
