Good evening. The Liberal Ddmocrats look at the papers on the news | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Good evening. The Liberal Ddmocrats say they're now focussing on the | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
general election after a disastrous night in the European electhons | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
across the West. They were pushed into fifth place and lost their only | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Euro MP, Sir Graham Watson. The Conservatives also lost a sdat, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
while Labour and the Greens had cause to celebrate. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
For 20 years, Liberal Democrat Graham Watson has been going to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Brussels on behalf of the South West. Not any more. Liberal | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
Democrats, 160,376. That was fifth place. A bitter blow for thd party | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
in their symbolic heartland. I believe that the loss of thd seat | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
for the Lib Dems and Conservatives reflects the fact we have bden in | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
government through a diffictlt and long recession trying to get the | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
economy right. I have no dotbt we will be back. It was a bittdr, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
bitter, bitter night for us. To lose somebody of the quality and calibre | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
of Graham Watson, who has bden an outstanding servant to our region, | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
and for Liberal democracy, hs a bitter blow indeed. The coalition | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
partners also lost ground, slipping from three MEPs to two, but their | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
share of the vote did hold tp. The smiles were broadest on UKIP faces, | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
who topped the poll in many areas across the region. Five years ago we | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
got about four first places and this time we got at least 24`30. That | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
gives us a marvellous platform to go forward. Labour made a return to | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
Brussels, taking back the sdat they'd lost in 2009. We need to make | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
sure the European Union works for the people of the south west, and | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
that is what I regard as my primary task as an MEP for the region. To | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
bring jobs and investment into the region over the coming five years. | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
And the Greens also had cause to raise a glass, picking up their | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
first ever seat in the South West. This afternoon, the party ldader | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
swept into Stroud to congratulate their newest MEP. Here in the South | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
West I think there was a re`l mood for change and a preparedness to | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
look round for different kinds of answers. We are offering re`l | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
political change, different ways of doing things and politics. The South | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
West was a little bit more open and prepared to consider that. @s they | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
sift through the finer detahls, all the major parties will be able to | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
draw some positives. All except the Lib Dems, that is. | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
A 28`year`old man has appeared at Taunton Deane Magistrates' Court | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
charged with the abduction of a child from Somerset. Davinddr Singh, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
of Churchdown in Gloucestershire, was arrested in Swindon on Saturday | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
night. He's been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Taunton | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Crown Court on the 9th of Jtne. Investigations are continuing into a | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
fatal car crash on one of Swindon's busiest roads. Paul Winters, 33 | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
died after the collision yesterday morning on Thamesdown Drive. Another | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
man, believed to be his father, is in hospital with serious injuries. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Two men were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerots | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
driving. One has been bailed and the other released without charge. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
A man in Bristol's been left with serious injuries after being | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
assaulted in the city centrd. It happened near the war memorhal on | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Colston Avenue at about half past four this morning. Police s`y | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
they're keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
What possesses a person to throw themselves down a steep hill after a | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
bouncing cheese is anyone's guess but once again today thousands | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
turned out in Gloucestershire for the annual cheese rolling. Real | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
cheese was back on the Coopdr's Hill menu after it was banned last year | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
for health and safety reasons. One person suffered a suspected broken | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
leg but no other serious injuries were reported. | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
They came from all over the West and all over the world, all for this. To | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
watch a cheese get thrown down a very steep hill, chased by ` bunch | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
of fearless, some would say reckless, runners. So what's it like | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
taking part? Take a look at this. Coming down, you are, like, in a | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
50`man washing machine. You have a plan to go down and you just end up | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
rolling. I think, if you look at the floor now, it's quite flat, but up | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
there, the floor is that co`rse that you're thinking, I can put ly feet | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
down. I can put my feet down. And you end up just sliding on xour bum. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
It's the best way to do it, I think. Would you do it again? Yes. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Definitely. We did say it w`s our last but... On a day like today | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
where you've had some rain, the ground's quite soft, it's good. It's | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
all right. You can land and sort of like bounce and everything. It's | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
when you've had a lot of sun on the ground and it's totally dry, that's | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
when it's really dangerous. But in conditions like that, it's great. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
But it's still a pretty crazy thing to do, isn't it? Oh, yeah, ht's a | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
crazy thing to do, but that's Gloucester! We're crazy people! Mad | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
dogs and Englishmen! Nobody else would do it. Last year, loc`l cheese | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
makers were warned not to stpply the race for health and safety reasons | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
so a plastic substitute was used instead. But this year, thanks in | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
part to some Dutch Gouda, the real deal was back on. So another year | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
celebrating a great British tradition, one that looks sdt to | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
continue for generations to come. A team from North Somerset has | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
finished the first of seven marathons it aims to complete in | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
seven days for seven local charities. Jason Smith from | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Weston`super`Mare, and five of his friends, set off from the Grand Pier | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
this morning. They headed up through Somerset and crossed Bristol mid | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
afternoon. The team's been training for nine months, shedding three | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
stone along the way. All thd runs will be local and all the money | :06:17. | :06:26. | |
raised go to local charities. We're back tomorrow but now let s | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
get the weather. Something of mixed fortunes through | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
the course of tomorrow. There will be some showers around, gendrally | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
fairly light, but occasionally you may catch some heavy ones. The | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
brightest weather generally speaking will be towards the south`wdst. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Always a fair amount of clotd. Through the course of tonight, as | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
well as showery rain, temperatures between about eight and ten Celsius | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
which sets us up into tomorrow morning with quite a lot of cloud | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
around. Some showery outbre`ks of rain coming and going. Some brighter | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
spells between those. The bdst of those should come down towards the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
south`west. So that continuds through the rest of the day with | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
showers beginning to fade as we head into the evening. Temperatures | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
should be safely up in the lid teens, 14 or 15. A few spots getting | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
higher than that. A similar picture through the rest of this wedk. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Unsettled, showers about, btt brighter spells as well. More of | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
those as we get towards next weekend. Stay with us for the | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
national The month of May is often thought of | :07:32. | :07:43. | |
as the transition from Spring into summer. It can have a variety of | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
weather. We've seen just that in just one day. In fact, we had a | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
window of sunshine, it was quite pleasant, but at the same time we | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
had this speed of cloud and rain moving up from the channel to the | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
North of England and sharp showers to the north and west. If you | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
managed to dodge them and keep the sunshine, you have the warmth. Highs | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
of 18 degrees. Underneath the cloud and rain, a disappointing 11 | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
degrees. Very cool for this time of year. We will continue to see the | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
showers fading to the west, but temperatures are pretty uniform | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
through the night. We pick up more persistent rain spilling in off the | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
North Sea. This could cause one or two problems through tomorrow and | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
into Wednesday. There's a level of uncertainty as to where that will be | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
sitting, potentially across North Norfolk, East Midlands and eastern | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
England. Weather warnings have been issued due to the intensity of the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
rainfall. A lot of surface water and spray and maybe the potential for | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
some localised flooding. A cool north-easterly breeze as well, so a | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
rather | :08:47. | :08:47. |
