Surprise results in the European Elections, and what they could mean.

:00:08.:00:13.

Plus, the pricey pool that's had a pretty impressive makeover.

:00:14.:00:16.

Let's start with the results coming in from the European Elections.

:00:17.:00:26.

The headlines are that the UK Independence Party has so far

:00:27.:00:28.
