Can AI really save you money on your heating bill? I spent two years testing to find out

Samuel Gibbs doubted he could cut costs and still keep warm by putting tech in control. The results surprised him Can smart thermostats and AI reduce your heating bills? Every manufacturer claims the answer is yes, quoting average savings in the 25%, or £180 a year range. But all of these promises are heavily caveated and, with energy costs changing regularly, it can be very difficult to tell what is having an impact.

The Good Daughter: Rose Byrne’s legal thriller is so full of calamity it borders on Mr Bean-like farce

This slightly preposterous psychological drama – featuring Byrne and Meghann Fahy as sisters – is a show about trauma where everyone somehow looks astonishingly beautiful at all times At first glance, The Good Daughter (Thursday 12 November, 9pm, Sky Atlantic) should make you a little worried about Rose Byrne.

Strait of Hormuz could reopen as part of Qatari plan for Iran nuclear inspections

Trump still considering new assault on Iran nuclear sites – though threats less credible after Vance remarks Qatar, the lead mediator in the US-Iran conflict, is seeking to persuade Tehran to allow UN nuclear weapons inspectors to visit Iran’s bombed nuclear sites, including those housing the country’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

Regional leaders criticise Met chief’s call for merging of 43 forces into eight or 10, saying it runs counter to devolution drive Plans to slash the number of police forces in England and Wales represent a “real threat” to local policing and seriously undermine Andy Burnham’s devolution agenda, leading mayors have said. Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan police commissioner and Britain’s top officer, called on Friday for the 43 forces of England and Wales to be cut to “eight to 10” super forces. Continue reading...
