:00:00.:00:10.

Good evening. The counting is well underway tonight for the votes cast

:00:11.:00:27.

in the European elections. An official declaration of the result

:00:28.:00:31.

for Wales is expected in Pembrokeshire as soon. Our Political

:00:32.:00:35.

Editor is waiting in Fishguard. Nick. Gary, five years ago, the

:00:36.:00:39.

Conservatives topped the poll in the European elections. The story

:00:40.:00:42.

tonight is that it is neck and neck between Labour and UKIP. We have had

:00:43.:00:46.

all the results from the different council areas across Wales, or

:00:47.:00:50.

nearly all of them. The candidates have been called here and fairly

:00:51.:00:56.

soon we will get the declaration of who the four MEPs are representing

:00:57.:01:00.

Wales over the next five years. One of the main stories this evening is

:01:01.:01:08.

the extraordinary progress of UKIP. They have won in Wrexham, and in the

:01:09.:01:13.

Vale of Glamorgan. They have pushed Labour hard in the south Wales

:01:14.:01:19.

valleys, Labour heartland seats. UKIP one in Powys. Clyde Comrie held

:01:20.:01:25.

off the challenge in some of the heartland areas. They won in

:01:26.:01:32.

Ceredigion. The Conservatives narrowly won in Pembrokeshire,

:01:33.:01:36.

beating off the challenge from UKIP. The real question is whether Labour

:01:37.:01:40.

or UKIP can win enough of the share of the votes to win a second seeds

:01:41.:01:46.

out of the four, in which case the Conservatives may lose out. -- a

:01:47.:01:57.

second seat. Thanks Nick. There's up to the minute coverage of the

:01:58.:02:00.

economy, new figures show. That's thanks to a boost in the number of

:02:11.:02:14.

people visiting the island. The study by the STEAM research

:02:15.:02:16.

programme suggests the good weather last summer was a key factor. Around

:02:17.:02:20.

1,000 people greeted the Queen's Baton Relay as it made its way to

:02:21.:02:23.

Llandrindod wells tonight. It's the second day of the route through

:02:24.:02:27.

Wales as the baton heads to Glasgow where the Commonwealth Games will be

:02:28.:02:34.

held. Charlotte Dubenski has more. It has been a hectic day for the

:02:35.:02:39.

Queen's Baton Relay. First port of call was the royal mint. Rhys

:02:40.:02:47.

Williams swapped the hurdles for a role and made a new 50p coin to mark

:02:48.:02:52.

the Games. He hopes the athletics will make a lasting impression. It

:02:53.:02:57.

should be a springboard and an opportunity for people to take up

:02:58.:03:00.

sports they would not normally have done so. I hope a lot of people

:03:01.:03:05.

support the games and take up new sports and participation goes up. A

small crowd welcomed the Batten in Aberdare. -- baton. The wet weather

:03:10.:03:19.

was lame for a small turnout. We have had showers and it has been

:03:20.:03:23.

overcast but we have 4000 people here and the sports village is

:03:24.:03:27.

really busy, lots of children are trying new things. The downpour did

:03:28.:03:35.

not deter the crowds in mid Wales. The Batten bearers received a hearty

:03:36.:03:40.

welcome. 1000 people turned out to cheer in Llandrindod as it made its

:03:41.:03:45.

way around the lake. I cannot explain it, I have done so many

:03:46.:03:48.

miles around this lakeside, it is incredible to be asked. I am elated,

:03:49.:03:56.

overwhelmed! It is really lovely. The journey of the baton in Wales

:03:57.:03:59.

ends here this evening, and tomorrow it heads further north to Balla.
