Jenny here, live with all the big stories this | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
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. | |
won more seats than Britain's traditional big parties, something | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Votes are still being counted in Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
but UKIP's leader Nigel Farage has already described the results | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
as "the most extraordinary in a hundred years." | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The BBC's Political Correspondent Chris Mason joins us now to explain | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The people's army of UKIP has spoken tonight and delivered just about the | :00:46. | :01:06. | |
most extraordinary result that Britain has seen in 100 years and I | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
am proud to have led them to that. Contrast that with is of defeat. The | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Liberal Democrats have almost been wiped out. Neither Labour nor the | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
Tories had the back to stand up to UKIP. We did and we are being | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
punished, but we would do it all over again. Labour have eaten the | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Conservatives, but only narrowly. A result that will worry the party. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
And they are now pondering what on earth to do about UKIP. We will | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
respond by making clear that we can fix the relationship between Britain | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
and Europe, that weekend whether real change and give the policy and | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
referendum. -- that we can bring about change. People are disaffected | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
and they are using their voting in the European Parliamentary elections | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
to express their dissatisfaction with politics. But it is photographs | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
like these which tell the story of the night. Pausing for a picture has | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
never been easier for UKIP. In other news, American President | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Barack Obama made a surprise Forces have been in the country | :02:20. | :02:21. | |

the historic pool locals celebrated It was the place to be seen in the | :02:50. | :03:07. | |
fashionable city of Paris, France. The great and good game to do pool | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
to do a few laps. To lounge on the sandy beach and in the winter it | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
turned into an ice rink. But in 1989, after 60 years of use, and | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
falling into disrepair, the pool closed its doors to the public. It | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
has been transformed back to its gory days. Local people campaigned | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
and raised the money to get the building restored and it's all been | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
designed to look like a cruise ship. The restoration has brought | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
back great memories for this 87-year-old, who has even written | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
about the famous cool. It was a marvel. Every year they would get an | :03:55. | :03:59. | |

to jump in on the opening week. With the summing pool tickets costing 100 | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
