:00:00. > 3:59:59to change? Will they? Can they? Thank you. That is all from us for

:00:00. > :00:00.this evening. It The single most remarkable

:00:00. > :00:14.result last night was in Wales. Despite coming

:00:15. > :00:17.a close second to Labour in the county, UKIP's leader says

:00:18. > :00:20.it's his biggest win of the night. And on its third day around Wales

:00:21. > :00:24.the baton pays a visit to the If that ignites their passion, it is

:00:25. > :00:50.a brilliant thing. The UKIP leader Nigel Farage says

:00:51. > :00:54.his party's single most remarkable achievement last night was coming

:00:55. > :00:57.close to beating Labour in Wales. Labour topped the European

:00:58. > :01:00.election poll by just 4,000 votes. It means both parties retain a Welsh

:01:01. > :01:03.seat in the European parliament, as do the Conservatives and

:01:04. > :01:18.Plaid Cymru. Intense faces at the main can't show

:01:19. > :01:22.how tight it was. The UKIP candidate hoped he would top the poll. In the

:01:23. > :01:26.end, he was still jubilant after sending shock waves by coming

:01:27. > :01:31.second. Labours candidate insisted was the best ever Euro campaign. The

:01:32. > :01:36.Tories and Plaid Cymru were both at risk of losing a seat. In the end,

:01:37. > :01:40.relief as the four parties already representing Wales in Europe stay

:01:41. > :01:46.the same. But look beyond that and there are big changes. Labour topped

:01:47. > :01:50.the poll but it was short of votes required for the second seed that

:01:51. > :01:58.the party wanted. See how close UKIP was to beating Labour. The

:01:59. > :02:03.Conservatives have slipped back from five years ago. Meanwhile, Plaid

:02:04. > :02:09.Cymru kept theirs after speculation they looked from rubble. As the BBC

:02:10. > :02:21.results survey showed, Yupik picked up support in all parts of Wales.

:02:22. > :02:26.UKIP topped the poll across Britain. For the party leader, it was still

:02:27. > :02:30.highlight. The single most remarkable result last night was in

:02:31. > :02:35.Wales, where UKIP was just a few thousand votes away from beating the

:02:36. > :02:40.Labour Party in Wales. Dave and the Conservatives admit the clear

:02:41. > :02:48.messages being sent to the parties. They claim their supporters will

:02:49. > :02:53.return to them in general election. I really don't believe people in

:02:54. > :02:57.Wales want the sort of policies UKIP are offering. They don't want to get

:02:58. > :03:01.rid of the NHS, which is what UKIP are suggesting. They want to send a

:03:02. > :03:05.message to the main political parties. It would be churlish to say

:03:06. > :03:12.it wasn't a good night for UKIP. Only a third of the electorate

:03:13. > :03:24.actually voted. The Lib Dems came in sixth, behind the Greens. We worked

:03:25. > :03:29.very hard. Our members knocked on thousands of doors. We took on UKIP

:03:30. > :03:34.as well. Those two things has enabled us to retain our feet. How

:03:35. > :03:39.much has the political landscape in Wells changed as a result of what

:03:40. > :03:42.happened here last night? Things will be very different in the

:03:43. > :03:47.general election next year. One thing we do know now, and that is

:03:48. > :03:53.that UKIP is more than capable of taking votes away from not just the

:03:54. > :04:02.Tories, but across the political spectrum, and particularly from

:04:03. > :04:06.Labour. How much of a blow was this for

:04:07. > :04:12.Labour? They were hoping they would be able

:04:13. > :04:15.to send to Welsh MEPs to Brussels. In the end, they were relieved to

:04:16. > :04:22.topped the poll and be able to send one MEP. It is worth reflecting that

:04:23. > :04:29.UKIP came either first or second across every council area, across

:04:30. > :04:33.Wales last night. If there was a notion UKIP is some kind of English

:04:34. > :04:37.phenomenon, beaming with the concerns in England, I think that

:04:38. > :04:40.was put to bed last night with a lot of the concerns about immigration

:04:41. > :04:47.clearly felt and shared in parts of Wales. The big question is what

:04:48. > :04:54.impact will have in the general election. I think the response on

:04:55. > :04:56.the main parties today was a real hope and expectation that while some

:04:57. > :05:02.of their supporters may have flirted with UKIP, they will return to their

:05:03. > :05:04.natural home in the general election next year.

:05:05. > :05:07.Thank you. The Queen's Baton Relay continued

:05:08. > :05:09.its journey through Wales today. It spent the day at the

:05:10. > :05:12.Urdd Eisteddfod in Bala. Welcome to Bala, we are in the

:05:13. > :05:17.foothills of the Berwyn mountains and people have enjoyed the great

:05:18. > :05:21.weather as they explored the Maes. But there was no mistaking the main

:05:22. > :05:29.attraction the baton relay kicked off the cultural festival with a

:05:30. > :05:43.celebration of sporting achievement. Is moving at a gentler pace and he's

:05:44. > :05:47.used to, you when Thomas swats the relay for the 20 x 400 metre

:05:48. > :05:52.versions as he joined 19 young people from across the country to

:05:53. > :06:01.have the facts on along. It is amazing. The people have seen it and

:06:02. > :06:06.get the chance to touch it. A lot of kids get a bad rap. They are not

:06:07. > :06:13.bad. Sometimes they just need that fire in the belly. These teenagers

:06:14. > :06:18.have been chosen Fulgoni extra mile in anything from playing badminton

:06:19. > :06:24.and netball to coach Crosby and swimming, as well as volunteering in

:06:25. > :06:37.their local communities. Amazed. I could not believe it. The same with

:06:38. > :06:43.me. I have been camping overnight but it has all been worth it.

:06:44. > :06:47.Thousands of people from across Wales are showing of skills in

:06:48. > :06:51.music, art and language. This is as much a showcase for young talent as

:06:52. > :06:57.the Commonwealth games. It is a pleasure to support team Wales. It

:06:58. > :07:05.gives opportunities for the athletes. The Commonwealth Matt

:07:06. > :07:09.Scott made sure his arrival was noticed. It may be too went into the

:07:10. > :07:15.games begin, but the build-up is well underway. The Commonwealth

:07:16. > :07:27.button relay will hand over to Carmarthenshire tomorrow. Visitor

:07:28. > :07:33.numbers are wrong on the same day last year. The patent might be

:07:34. > :07:35.moving away, but a schools competition is happening here

:07:36. > :07:37.tonight. Now after decades of searching,

:07:38. > :07:40.the first and only moving footage It's been confirmed

:07:41. > :07:45.by experts that this is the poet, circled on your screen now,

:07:46. > :07:48.when he appeared as an extra in the feature film Pandora and the Flying

:07:49. > :07:57.Dutchman on Pendine Sands in 1951. And we'll have much more

:07:58. > :08:00.on that story tomorrow on Wales Today, and on the One Show

:08:01. > :08:06.at 7 tomorrow evening. After a fairly warm bank holiday

:08:07. > :08:19.Monday, is it going to last? We ended on a high but the weather

:08:20. > :08:26.is going downhill a bit. No pressure taking charge. There will be a

:08:27. > :08:30.little bit in the way of sunny spells in between showers. Tonight,

:08:31. > :08:35.we have this band of rain making its way over the East.

:08:36. > :08:49.Overnight temperatures of between seven and 12 Celsius, so a fairly

:08:50. > :08:58.mild night. Showers or longer spells of rain. Tomorrow morning, that rain

:08:59. > :09:03.band continues westwards. Once that clears, the showers get going from

:09:04. > :09:07.the East. Some torrential downpours possible, so we could see thundery

:09:08. > :09:15.outbreaks as well, with temperatures ranging between 12 and 15. Into

:09:16. > :09:25.tomorrow, we will lose the intensity of those showers, but there is more

:09:26. > :09:39.wet weather coming in. Wednesday is a bit of a miserable day. Cloudy for

:09:40. > :09:43.all of us. Remaining unsettled as we head toward the end of the week. I

:09:44. > :09:46.am hopeful we will see something more settled by the weekend. Here is

:09:47. > :09:51.today's picture. That's the latest news from

:09:52. > :09:53.across Wales. I'll be back with your late

:09:54. > :10:14.update just after 10.30 tonight. Good evening. If I were to conduct a

:10:15. > :10:18.straw poll about the weather events today, I suspect we would get a

:10:19. > :10:19.split decision. There
