full coverage on BBC One of the European election results after the | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
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 | :06:17. | :06:17. |
