Hello, I'm Alex Dunlop. In the last news

:00:00.:00:18.

Hello, I'm Alex Dunlop. In the last few minutes, we've learned which

:00:19.:00:21.

parties will be representing the region in the European Parliament.

:00:22.:00:25.

UKIP have taken three of the seven seats for the East of England.

:00:26.:00:28.

Andrew Sinclair is live in Chelmsford. Yes, seven seats in all

:00:29.:00:36.

up for grabs, three of them went to the UK Independence Party. Three of

:00:37.:00:39.

them went to the Conservatives. One of them went to the Labour Party.

:00:40.:00:44.

That means that Andrew Duff, the Liberal Democrat M EP for this

:00:45.:00:48.

region for 15 years, has lost his seat. UKIP's share of the vote was

:00:49.:00:56.

up dramatically from 19% last time to around 34%. Their lead candidate

:00:57.:01:01.

said "the earthquake in the East of England that Nigel Farage talked

:01:02.:01:09.

about has now happened." UKIP has done something quite unprecedented.

:01:10.:01:12.

We topped the poll in this region. We're all quite excited to see

:01:13.:01:15.

whether we can match that across Great Britain as a whole. We want

:01:16.:01:19.

our country back. So bad night for the Liberal Democrats and a bad

:01:20.:01:23.

night for Labour. They went into this campaign hoping to pick up two

:01:24.:01:28.

seats, but have just got one. The Tories are over the moon that they

:01:29.:01:32.

still have three seats here. A lot of people will discuss what this

:01:33.:01:36.

result means about the region. We Eurosceptic or have people had

:01:37.:01:42.

enough of politics? Thank you very much indeed. On two other news. A

:01:43.:01:46.

huge fire has torn through part of a historic town centre in Norfolk.

:01:47.:01:49.

People had to be evacuated from the middle of Fakenham. Buildings

:01:50.:01:52.

collapsed as the flames swept through a parade of shops.

:01:53.:01:56.

It looked more like a war zone than a Sunday morning in a quiet market

:01:57.:02:00.

town. People living in flats above the shops had to be led to safety

:02:01.:02:03.

and given first aid as fire quickly engulfed the entire block of

:02:04.:02:07.

properties. Morning service in the neighbouring church was abandoned as

:02:08.:02:09.

smoke filled the building. There were just horrendous, huge flames

:02:10.:02:12.

and I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was frightening. It

:02:13.:02:17.

was very frightening. One disabled couple weren't able to move their

:02:18.:02:21.

car in time, it was destroyed. The whole area was sealed off as

:02:22.:02:24.

sections of building started to collapse. At the centre of the fire

:02:25.:02:31.

was the former Aldiss department store, which, like the rest of the

:02:32.:02:34.

buildings, was gutted. Elderly residents in sheltered accommodation

:02:35.:02:38.

were also moved to safety. As a precaution, we evacuated a

:02:39.:02:40.

significant number of premises but in doing so, we also committed our

:02:41.:02:43.

breathing apparatus crews into those buildings with a water supply, so

:02:44.:02:47.

that it if the fire did break through, we would have been able to

:02:48.:02:51.

stop it. It took around 100 firefighters to control the blaze.

:02:52.:02:56.

There were no serious injuries but it has left both homes and

:02:57.:02:57.

businesses in ruins. Prince William could join the

:02:58.:03:08.

region's Air Ambulance service. The Duke of Cambridge has been

:03:09.:03:11.

considering his future since giving up his role as an RAF

:03:12.:03:13.

search`and`rescue pilot. Now the Sunday Times reports he's

:03:14.:03:15.

considering being a part`time pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

:03:16.:03:19.

The royal couple have a home in Norfolk.

:03:20.:03:25.

Thousands of people turned out today to enjoy the Luton Carnival.

:03:26.:03:27.

Organisers say this year's parade was bigger than ever.

:03:28.:03:30.

From ghouls to Ghanaian drummers, it can only be the Luton Carnival. And

:03:31.:03:34.

for the 1,000 performers, the intricate, colourful costumes are a

:03:35.:03:40.

Labour of love. It's a lot of work, detail, lots of patience. But, you

:03:41.:03:46.

know, it's worthwhile in the end. This year's carnival isn't on the

:03:47.:03:50.

scale of previous years and there is a new organiser, the UK Centre for

:03:51.:03:54.

Carnival Arts. It says its priority is on encouraging more local groups

:03:55.:04:00.

to take part. What you're seeing is the parade is bigger and more

:04:01.:04:04.

ambitious than ever. We have 1,000 participants, 30 different bands in

:04:05.:04:06.

there, representing cultures from all over the world. The organisers

:04:07.:04:09.

estimate around 30,000 people came to the carnival, and in the summer

:04:10.:04:13.

sun, it was a spectacle few will forget.

:04:14.:04:18.

Let's get the weather now. Good evening. Well, we've just about

:04:19.:04:26.

seen the last of our dry weather after today. We have some showers

:04:27.:04:29.

pushing up from the south tonight and tomorrow, quite a grey start to

:04:30.:04:33.

the day. Quite a lot of cloud and some showers too. Come the

:04:34.:04:36.

afternoon, those showers could be heavy, perhaps even thundery, but

:04:37.:04:39.

some sunny spells in between. And in that sunshine, we could have

:04:40.:04:42.

temperatures up to the low 20s, but a good few degrees below that where

:04:43.:04:46.

there is any cloud. From Tuesday onwards, quite a wet week ahead.

:04:47.:04:52.

There is a warning in place for rain on Tuesday and temperatures take a

:04:53.:04:55.

bit of a dive, with a chilly east to north`easterly breeze.

:04:56.:04:58.

More on the Euro election results in our extended breakfast bulletins

:04:59.:05:01.

tomorrow. Good evening to you. Tomorrow the

:05:02.:05:14.

weather will be a little like a box of chocolate, you don't know what

:05:15.:05:17.

you are going to get until you head out. The weather was clear cut

:05:18.:05:24.

today, sunshine in the Midlands and the north.

:05:25.:05:28.

Tomorrow, there's going to be a mix of everything across the country and

:05:29.:05:31.

it will be changing a lot from morning into the afternoon and into

:05:32.:05:36.

the evening. This is what the weather is going to look like in the

:05:37.:05:40.

early hours, rain in the south-east, showers dotted around across western

:05:41.:05:44.

areas, and as far as the headline goes for Bank Holiday Monday, we'll

:05:45.:05:49.

call it sunshine and thundery showers, because they'll be hefty

:05:50.:05:53.

later on in the afternoon on Monday. This is what it starts like in the

:05:54.:05:57.

course of the morning. Note it is splodges of blue indicating the

:05:58.:06:01.

rainfall. They keep changing and moving into different places, there

:06:02.:06:04.

is a lot of sunshine coming through. In terms of the thundery downpours,

:06:05.:06:08.

we think the worst will be through this portion here whereas across the

:06:09.:06:13.

east, probably talking ability cloud and rain on and off with a bit of

:06:14.:06:16.

sunshine
