either vat�*s reduced or just cut completely. rosita's fears for her business are also felt at home. like all of us, she'll face an energy price increase next month when the price cap is set to rise to £3,519 a year for a typical household. and just up the road in the busy suburb of chapel allerton, people want action now. costs need to come down and the government need to take action and help support people. i want them to think about working class people, because we work hard and we can't afford lots of things. everything, everything's going up, so everyone's feeling the pinch. . it's a struggle when you've got children because you feel- like you can't do the fun things you used to be able to do. - yeah, it's a difficult one. i wouldn't want to be a politician trying to figure all this out, because where's the money come from? i guess they're gonna have to pull it from somewhere else, aren't they? the rising cost of energy

to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up in the programme: there is rising concern about rising energy prices, but is bbc news contributing to the public�s anxiety over the issue? and the bbc faces criticism again on the thorny issue of impartiality. broadcasters and journalists have often seen august as the time to recharge their batteries on holiday, safe in the knowledge that nothing much will happen. that wasn't the case this summer when the news agenda was busy and questions continued to be raised about the bbc�s role in reporting it. at the top of many bulletins were the cost of living in general and energy bills, in particular. the typical gas and electricity bill willjump to £3,519 per yearfrom october, and almost £60 more if you're on a prepayment metre. this figure isn't the maximum you can be charged.
