Good evening. In the next few news | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Good evening. In the next few minutes we'll find out who will | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
represent this region in the European Parliament for the next | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
five years. Votes have been counted throughout the evening for the seven | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
West Midlands seats being contested. Our Political Editor Patrick Burns | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
joins us now from the International Convention Centre in Birmingham. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Patrick, any indication of who's done well? | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
This is where the results this is where the results from 30 local | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
counts, right across the Midlands, are collated and brought together so | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
that the final numbers can be trotted up to decide who will secure | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
the seven seats. With only the earliest of those local council | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
insofar it does appear that UKIP are on course to secure three of those | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
seven seats which would make them the undisputed winners here in West | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Midlands region. From 30 local counts, right across the Midlands, | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
are collated and brought together so that the final numbers can be | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
trotted up to decide who will secure the seven seats. With only the | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
earliest of those local council insofar it does appear that UKIP are | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
on course to secure three of those are seven seats which would make | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
them the undisputed winners here in the West Midlands region. There | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
there are number one candidate said that she was grinning from ear to | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
ear. That would leave Labour and the Conservatives with a two seats each. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
What does this mean for the other parties? | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
Is number one candidate said that she was grinning from ear to ear. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
That would leave Labour and the Conservatives with a two seats each. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
What does this mean for the other parties? This would be this would be | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
a crushing disappointment for the Liberal Democrat MEP because he has | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
battled hard to secure the seventh seat. The Liberal Democrats party | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
could be out in the West Midlands. The Green party also mounted a | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
spirited challenge for the seventh seat but they also could be facing | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the opportunity of a near miss. What about turnout? We have the | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
numbers of the people who voted. Almost exactly one in three of the | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
electorate, 33.31 of `` 33.31% with the highest turnout in | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Stratford`upon`Avon and the lowest in Stoke`on`Trent. Shortly before | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
these declarations come out we have had a statement from an MEP in the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
outgoing parliament who has conceded defeat and says that she has no | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
regrets about switching from UKIP to form her own party. She says it has | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
been an honour and a pleasure to serve her constituency. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Thank you very much for those details. | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
Health bosses in Gloucestershire say fewer patients are dying almost a | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
year after it downgraded the Accident and Emergency Service in | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Cheltenham. The trust which runs the department decided to close the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
service at night due to a shortage of doctors. 999 calls were sent to | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
Gloucester's A instead. It's almost two weeks since the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Staffordshire cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton died. But efforts to | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
push his fund over the ?4 million mark have been continuing. Today a | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
12 hour sponsored water ski was organised near the teenager's home | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
town of Burntwood. Bob Hockenhull reports. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Following in the tracks of Stephen Sutton. The teenager waterskied here | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
at Chasewater last year. Today people of all ages paid ?20 to have | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
a go and raise money for Stephen's Teenage Cancer Trust appeal. We have | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
had people skiing from 8am this morning and they have been doing 15 | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
minute sets of water skiing and wake boarding and with the donations and | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the sponsorship we should be into thousands of pounds. Stephen, who | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
died earlier this month, has now raised a few thousand pounds short | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
of ?4 million. Those taking part today hoped their donations will be | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
enough to push his fund over ?4 million. I like doing a lot of | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
charity work anyway and he has done a lot for what he was able to do so | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
why not do it for a good cause and help to carry on the funds. Some of | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
the people who are out on skis for the first time so the club is | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
expecting to have to fish a few out. Pupils from Stephen's school, Chase | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Terrace Technology College, were among those taking part. It is | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
choppy down here but the water is warm and it is good fun. At least | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
one resident of Chasewater was keeping dry today. But those who did | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
get wet weren't bothered as long as they can keep flying the flag for | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Stephen. Time for the Midlands weather now. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Here's Mel Coles. Good evening. After a showery day we | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
are seeing quieter conditions tonight. Most places remain dry and | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
the skies will clear. Mist and fog could form a Monday morning. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Temperatures could drop down to six degrees in parts of Herefordshire so | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
it is fresher than it has been recently. Monday gets off to a dry | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
start and there should be good spells of sunshine around in the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
morning. The cloud will increase in the afternoon and then there is a | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
risk of showers. Dry spells around but some showers could be heavy. On | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Tuesday looks as though it will be showery with rain expected later. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
More election reporting on your local radio station now. Good | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
Good evening to you. Tomorrow the weather will be a little like a box | :05:02. | :05:15. | |
of chocolate, you don't know what you are going to get until you head | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
out. The weather was clear cut today, sunshine in the Midlands and | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
the north. Tomorrow, there's going to be a mix | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
of everything across the country and it will be changing a lot from | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
morning into the afternoon and into the evening. This is what the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
weather is going to look like in the early hours, rain in the south-east, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
showers dotted around across western areas, and as far as the headline | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
goes for Bank Holiday Monday, we'll call it sunshine and thundery | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
showers, because they'll be hefty later on in the afternoon on Monday. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
This is what it starts like in the course of the morning. Note it is | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
splodges of blue indicating the rainfall. They keep changing and | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
moving into different places, there is a lot of sunshine coming through. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
In terms of the thundery downpours, we think the worst will be through | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
this portion here whereas | :06:12. | :06:12. |
