:00:00. > :00:12.Good evening, I'm Geraldine Peers. look at the papers on the
:00:13. > :00:14.Good evening, I'm Geraldine Peers. The Liberal Democrats are reflecting
:00:15. > :00:20.on a disastrous night in the European elections. The UK
:00:21. > :00:23.Independence Party got almost one in three votes cast in the South. In
:00:24. > :00:26.the South East, UKIP doubled their seats to four. The Conservatives
:00:27. > :00:31.have three, with Labour and the Greens holding onto their single
:00:32. > :00:36.seats. The region now has THE ONLY Lib Dem MEP in England ` Catherine
:00:37. > :00:38.Bearder. In the South West, UKIP still have two MEPs, while the
:00:39. > :00:41.Conservatives slipped back one. Labour made a return ` while the
:00:42. > :00:54.Greens now have their first South West MEP. Here's Ben Moore. Where
:00:55. > :01:00.there is victory... There must also be defeat. What a fall for the live
:01:01. > :01:05.Dems. Once the South was a real stronghold for them but last night
:01:06. > :01:16.they lost an MEP of 20 years standing. The junior partner always
:01:17. > :01:23.suffers more. Overall, the party lost ten MEPs. Many see that as
:01:24. > :01:28.humiliation. More than 250 Lib Dems have called for Nick Clegg to go.
:01:29. > :01:32.One of the most important jobs is to be the voice of the party in a
:01:33. > :01:36.general election and if people are not prepared to listen to that
:01:37. > :01:41.voice, you have a problem. Nick Clegg says he will not lose his
:01:42. > :01:48.nerve and he has support from the person who is now the UK's only live
:01:49. > :01:52.all Democrat MEP. My message is to stop it. Let's stick with him, we
:01:53. > :01:59.have a lot of work to do between now and the general election. In the
:02:00. > :02:07.south`west UKIP got a more votes, no more than two seats they already
:02:08. > :02:13.had. `` hundred and 40,000 votes. I have been in the Green Party for 25
:02:14. > :02:18.years so it is wonderful to have won an election. It is a huge
:02:19. > :02:23.responsibility, obviously. Labour's vote was also up, taking two seats
:02:24. > :02:27.across the South. The focus is on targeting seeds for the general
:02:28. > :02:34.election. Labour has made bold promises on housing, child care,
:02:35. > :02:37.dealing with unstable work, and when you talk to people about those
:02:38. > :02:43.issues, they did turn out and vote for us. 8 million votes were cast in
:02:44. > :02:47.the South East, it was a job counting them but little doubt who
:02:48. > :02:54.the big winners were. That is impossible! It says we are
:02:55. > :03:01.connecting, it says UKIP is the party that is standing up and saying
:03:02. > :03:07.what people think. As the picture became purple, some conservatives
:03:08. > :03:12.urged a pact. This is much bigger than the colour of the rosette that
:03:13. > :03:17.somebody is wearing. Do we trust the British people to decide whether to
:03:18. > :03:21.live in an independent country or within Europe? It is clear that this
:03:22. > :03:27.latest battle over Europe has certainly been won by those who are
:03:28. > :03:29.out rather than in. Earlier I spoke to our Political Editor, Peter
:03:30. > :03:36.Henley ` who explained how the results have affected the political
:03:37. > :03:40.landscape in the South. The further you go from London, the greater this
:03:41. > :03:45.UKIP earthquake has become. On the Isle of Wight, there was the largest
:03:46. > :03:52.surge in their vote, up from 22% in the last election to 41%. Down the
:03:53. > :03:58.coast in Sussex, you are looking at a 42% vote for UKIP. That is an area
:03:59. > :04:05.that has been affected by migrant workers. Were local facts affecting
:04:06. > :04:13.the vote? It was surely disillusion with local politics. Labour would
:04:14. > :04:19.have hoped to pick up more protest votes. They would be happy in target
:04:20. > :04:25.areas. Brighton, Reading and Oxford for the Greens. Conservatives will
:04:26. > :04:29.be pleased that in Winchester and Wokingham, their vote held up. The
:04:30. > :04:38.Euro`sceptics there did not split the vote. World Heritage status
:04:39. > :04:41.could be withdrawn from the Jurassic Coast in Dorset if a proposed wind
:04:42. > :04:44.farm goes ahead. UNESCO has written to the government about the Navitus
:04:45. > :04:47.Bay project. It says the 194 turbines would have an adverse
:04:48. > :04:51.impact on views from Dorset across to the Isle of Wight ` and that the
:04:52. > :04:53.site would change from a natural setting to one dominated by man`made
:04:54. > :05:00.structures. The government wrote to UNESCO in February saying the impact
:05:01. > :05:04.would be minimal. A free festival celebrating all things on wheels has
:05:05. > :05:10.brought half a million visitors to Bournemouth. They could become an
:05:11. > :05:15.annual event. From monster trucks to pedal power, it has brought visitors
:05:16. > :05:20.to Bournemouth. Wheels of all kinds of dimensions were welcomed at the
:05:21. > :05:25.festival this bank holiday weekend, and it witnessed the first ever
:05:26. > :05:30.motorcycle jump over almost here. Dan Whitby from Norfolk delighted
:05:31. > :05:42.spectators. `` over Bournemouth Pier. The crowd was huge. It is the
:05:43. > :05:48.first time such an event has been posted and tourism bosses said at
:05:49. > :05:52.brought a welcome boost to the economy. Over ?9 million in the
:05:53. > :05:54.first year and the signs are all for the future, which is going to be one
:05:55. > :06:00.of the signature event or Bournemouth. If it has a wheel it is
:06:01. > :06:04.somewhere here at the festival. This is perfect, by the seaside, sunny
:06:05. > :06:08.Bournemouth, you could not wish for more. We thought the monster trucks
:06:09. > :06:16.would be good, we thought the little one would like those. Anything with
:06:17. > :06:21.wheels, really, might really old `` my three`year`old loves. The
:06:22. > :06:27.cycling, the stunt things, I am into that. The festival is a unique event
:06:28. > :06:34.and there is no free event like it in the world, and it will be back
:06:35. > :06:44.next year. I will be back in a few minutes. Goodbye.
:06:45. > :06:50.Temperatures tonight getting down to 12 Celsius. We will see further
:06:51. > :06:57.showers around. Showers particularly across central and western
:06:58. > :07:00.districts. Still a lot of cloud around tomorrow morning and you can
:07:01. > :07:05.see as the day wears on, the signal for wet weather becomes less of a
:07:06. > :07:09.feature. Yes, we will get some showers on either side of that
:07:10. > :07:13.chance of sunny spells and bright weather, compared to today. Things
:07:14. > :07:18.will continue as we head to the evening. Temperature is tomorrow
:07:19. > :07:23.should be a few Celsius up on today, physically across central areas.
:07:24. > :07:29.Getting up to 16 or 17 Celsius. A similar story through the course of
:07:30. > :07:31.this week. Still some showers around dry interludes and bright
:07:32. > :07:42.interludes. Drier interludes. The month of May is often thought of
:07:43. > :07:47.as the transition from Spring into summer. It can have a variety of
:07:48. > :07:48.weather. We've seen just that in just one
