News from around the UK with Rachel Burden sitting in for Gabby Logan. 

The Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has admitted he is still battling with "anger issues" after apologising for punching Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen. The 28 year old will now serve a 3 match ban. So is he to be applauded trying to deal with his problems or is his latest explosive loss of temper unacceptable?

It's one of the subjects discussed by our sports panel - Journalist and author Jim White, England under-21 midfielder Rohan Ricketts and Football Focus presenter Dan Walker.

The panel also talk about the Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez is urging gay players to come out - he says it will improve their game. Is he right, or is he being naïve? And just why was Ray Wilkins dismissed from Chelsea so rapidly..

Away from sport, there's the latest on the house fire in Bridlington where three children have died, including a harrowing interview with a local woman who went to help with the rescue effort.

And British Gas is to raise gas and electricity prices by an average of seven per cent from December 10, meaning higher bills for around 8 million customers in the UK. Managing Director of British Gas, Phil Bentley, defends the decision, and answers texts and tweets from people who say they're already struggling to pay their bills.
