Summary
Energy prices have gone up… but the government says there is no chance that the lights will go out. The BBC's Simon Jack explains what it all might mean for our heating bills this winter.
Adam speaks to the Lib Dem leader, Sir Ed Davey, after his party's conference this weekend. How does he think he'll win over voters (the answer is by “knocking down the Blue wall" apparently)?

Today’s Newscast was propagated by Caitlin Hanrahan with producers Daniel Wittenberg and Ben Cooper. The studio manager was Gareth Jones and the assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
