full coverage on BBC One of the European election results after the

:00:00.3:59:59

news where you are. Good evening.

:00:00.:00:15.

The count for the North West's European Elections is well underway

:00:16.:00:18.

at Manchester Town Hall tonight. Voters in the region went to the

:00:19.:00:21.

ballot box on Thursday to return eight MEPs. Our political editor

:00:22.:00:29.

Arif Ansari is at the count. What are you human? `` what is

:00:30.:00:40.

happening? Is no official results yet but plenty of speculation and

:00:41.:00:44.

unofficial results coming through. The first thing to say is that five

:00:45.:00:47.

years ago, when we had the elections, the big news was that

:00:48.:00:55.

Nick Griffin was elected one of our eight European MPs. It is very clear

:00:56.:00:59.

that he has lost that seat and will be out of the European Parliament.

:01:00.:01:04.

He arrived earlier at the town hall, where they are coordinating and

:01:05.:01:07.

collating results from across the region. I gather that eggs were

:01:08.:01:12.

thrown at him and he is inside the building but only to witness his own

:01:13.:01:16.

defeat. The other big news is that the Liberal Democrats, who walk one

:01:17.:01:22.

Mac of those seats, has also lost. `` who hold one of those seats.

:01:23.:01:27.

Chris Davis has privately conceded that he is not going to hold the

:01:28.:01:31.

seat. When we are likely to your more? I think they will announce the

:01:32.:01:37.

Manchester pretty soon but they have to hear from almost 40 councils from

:01:38.:01:45.

across the region. It is still probably about an hour away. From

:01:46.:01:49.

what I have been told, we are going to end up with Labour winning and

:01:50.:01:54.

taking three seats, with UKIP probably getting three and with the

:01:55.:01:59.

Tories probably getting too. That means that the British National

:02:00.:02:04.

Party is out, the Lib Dems are out and the Green party has probably

:02:05.:02:05.

missed also. Meanwhile, Southport's Lib Dem MP

:02:06.:02:08.

John Pugh is questioning Nick Clegg's leadership of the party

:02:09.:02:11.

after local election saw them lose more than 250 local councillors. Mr

:02:12.:02:14.

Pugh suggested a dozen of his Commons colleagues had expressed

:02:15.:02:17.

doubts about the Deputy Prime Minister saying, "While the Captain

:02:18.:02:20.

goes down with the ship, there's no need for the ship to go down with

:02:21.:02:24.

the captain." But Cheadle's Lib Dem MP Mark Hunter told Sunday Politics

:02:25.:02:28.

that it would be foolish to change leaders now. There is clearly a

:02:29.:02:31.

problem about engagement, which we have acknowledged. We have to work

:02:32.:02:34.

harder at getting that message across and finding other ways in

:02:35.:02:38.

which we might be able to do it. But I do not think the idea of changing

:02:39.:02:42.

leaders 12 months out from a general election... The idea that with one

:02:43.:02:53.

single bound we can be free of all these problems and a new leader will

:02:54.:02:56.

magically transform our fortune is for the birds.

:02:57.:02:58.

One of the region's biggest animal charities has launched a campaign to

:02:59.:03:01.

help prevent dogs overheating in cars. The Dog's Trust says there's

:03:02.:03:05.

been an annual rise in the number of dogs dying in the North West, with

:03:06.:03:09.

many owners unaware of the danger to their pets. They need to really

:03:10.:03:13.

think about what they are doing when they leave the dog in the car.

:03:14.:03:16.

Basically do not do it. Please do not do it.

:03:17.:03:19.

Liverpool's first Rock and Roll Marathon and Half Marathon's been

:03:20.:03:22.

taking place today. The 7,500 runners were greeted with live music

:03:23.:03:25.

and entertainment at almost every mile. The event ` which was spread

:03:26.:03:30.

across the city ` started and finished at the iconic waterfront.

:03:31.:03:35.

Really nice out in the park. A good day up there and then coming along

:03:36.:03:39.

the Mersey towards the end was perfect. Seeing kids, dog walkers or

:03:40.:03:42.

people supporting their rain and their family. It feels great to have

:03:43.:03:47.

loads of scousers cheering us on. It was brilliant fun. Lovely weather.

:03:48.:03:50.

Lovely city to run around. Absolutely amazing. I am getting

:03:51.:03:54.

married next Saturday and my bride`to`be is about an hour behind

:03:55.:03:59.

me. She cannot catch me! In Super League Ben Currie's brace

:04:00.:04:01.

helped Warrington to a `` Here's the weather with Mel

:04:02.:04:08.

Coles. `` Here's the weather

:04:09.:04:11.

Good evening. The showers are continuing to clear away but will

:04:12.:04:14.

put in another appearance tomorrow. We should however see more in the

:04:15.:04:18.

way of dry and bright spells. The showers this evening are losing

:04:19.:04:21.

their momentum. As they start to clear away, clear spells will

:04:22.:04:24.

develop elsewhere. We may see a few patches of mist and fog first thing

:04:25.:04:28.

tomorrow. Tomorrow gets off to a largely dry start. Some bright

:04:29.:04:31.

spells around during the morning. It is not until the afternoon that we

:04:32.:04:34.

begin to see those showers creeping in. Some of which could be

:04:35.:04:37.

potentially heavy and thundery. Looking ahead to Tuesday, some

:04:38.:04:40.

showers around but it looks as though we might see some rain a

:04:41.:04:45.

little bit later on. That's it from me. See you tomorrow.

:04:46.:04:47.

Goodnight. Good evening to you. Tomorrow the

:04:48.:05:14.

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

:05:15.:05:18.

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

:05:19.: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
