Surprise results in the European Elections, and what they could mean. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Plus, the pricey pool that's had a pretty impressive makeover. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Let's start with the results coming in from the European Elections. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
The headlines are that the UK Independence Party has so far | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
won more seats than Britain's traditional big parties, something | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Votes are still being counted in Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
but UKIP's leader Nigel Farage has already described the results | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
as "the most extraordinary in a hundred years." | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
The BBC's Political Correspondent Chris Mason joins us now to explain | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
A huge election across 28 countries, but let us look at the dramatic | :00:46. | :01:00. | |
events across the UK. The map last time in 2009. Labour under Gordon | :01:01. | :01:07. | |

mark the map and the colours that was left by the 2014 European | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
election and how dramatic changes was left by the 2014 European | :01:20. | :01:22. | |

Labour doing very well as well in London. Let us count each MEP and | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
see how many each party is left with. UKIP now has 24 members, in | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
second place, waiver, with 20. The Conservatives had 26 last time, they | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
are down to 19 full top the Greens are in fourth place on the three, a | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
good night for them. The Liberal Democrats are just down to one. | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
Chris, how big of a deal is this for UKIP? Good morning. It is a huge | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
deal for the UK Independence Party, because pretty much in the last | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
couple of years they have come almost from nowhere and here they | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
are, winning a national election, beating the big parties, the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats. They want UKIP to | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
take Britain out of what is known as the European Union, a club of 28 | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
countries that Britain has been a member of four a good number of | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
years. This result makes that possibility at some stage a bit more | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
likely. What does this mean for the UK's main political parties? It | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
means a real head scratch this morning. What else to do about these | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
new kids on the block, what can they learn about how UKIP have done? What | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
does it mean for the Liberal Democrats? It was a terrible night, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
they lost almost all of their members of European Parliament. For | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
the Conservatives and Labour it was very close. They just managed to | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
meet the Conservatives, but not by much. The general election next | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
year, it will be very close indeed. In other news, American President | :03:20. | :03:25. | |

it that is making you feel that you're upset about rings, because | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
that is how you are coming across? Erm... It is nothing that I can go | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
into. Is it yellow flags? There is nothing that can come good of what I | :04:27. | :04:27. | |
would say. Finally, the semi-finalists | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
