Households will see an increase of 24% on their gas bills and 5% on their electricity bills.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, 40% of accounts \u2013 or 22 million \u2013 are fixed tariffs, according to Ofgem figures, and are therefore unaffected by this price rise.<\/p>\n<p>Also on tonight&#8217;s Evening News:<br \/>\n\u2022 Seven children and two adults have died in separate open water incidents over the Bank Holiday weekend amid record-breaking temperatures across the UK.<br \/>\n\u2022 Resident doctors in England will strike for the 16th time in their long-running dispute with the government over pay.<br \/>\n\u2022 An exclusive survey conducted for ITV&#8217;s Tonight programme found that more than one in three users of non-prescription codeine could be at risk of addiction.<br \/>\n\u2022 And, meet the tabby cat who made himself a permanent fixture at a historic manor house &#8211; who even has his own bank account.<\/p>\n<p>For more of the biggest news stories in the UK and around the world, visit the ITV News YouTube channel: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lOHmNj\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Subscribe to ITV News In Full on YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ITVNewsInFull\u00a0<br \/>\n\u2022 Get breaking news and more stories at: http:\/\/www.itv.com\/news\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Follow ITV News on TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itvnews?lang=en\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0Follow ITV News on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itvnews\/\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0Follow ITV News on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itvnews\/\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0Follow ITV News on X: https:\/\/twitter.com\/itvnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Watch Wednesday&#8217;s ITV Evening News LIVE &#8211; energy price rise as Donald Trump&#8217;s war on Iran hits bills&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[12],"tags":[20540,32452,32451,34667,26077,3245,3638,14,21903,18582,354,38,380,379,18744,8830,33379,34666,9932,34665,32450,40,297,33223,1123,415,42,4242,385,8756,30277,34669,32457,412,197,49,34668],"class_list":["post-33664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-itv-news","tag-andy-burnham","tag-bank-holiday-heatwave","tag-bank-holiday-weather","tag-blair-burnham","tag-bp","tag-ceasefire","tag-doctors-strike","tag-donald-trump","tag-first-minister","tag-heatwave","tag-international-news","tag-iran","tag-itv","tag-itv-news","tag-itv-politics","tag-junior-doctors","tag-laos-cave-rescue","tag-laos-villagers","tag-matthew-perry","tag-matthew-perry-death","tag-met-office","tag-middle-east","tag-nasa","tag-nicola-sturgeon","tag-petrol-prices","tag-prime-minister","tag-social-media","tag-social-media-ban","tag-starmer","tag-temperature","tag-tony-blair","tag-uk-doctor-strike","tag-uk-fuel","tag-united-states","tag-us","tag-war","tag-william-morris"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
