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