:00:13. > :00:16.UKIP. They take seats from the major parties across the region. @ good
:00:17. > :00:24.night for Labour in Cambridge in overall control for the first time
:00:25. > :00:28.in 18 years. Later, the search for silverware, the Saints are hn
:00:29. > :00:32.Cardiff tonight for the first of two cup finals in a week. And the stars
:00:33. > :00:44.behind Spring watch at their new Suffolk home.
:00:45. > :00:47.First tonight what the local elections mean for you.
:00:48. > :00:50.The UKIP effect seen nation`lly has been reflected in this region
:00:51. > :00:52.too, with the party taking seats in Essex, Northamptonshire
:00:53. > :00:56.There were no local elections in Bedfordshire.
:00:57. > :00:59.The three seats gained by UKIP in Peterborough along with one gained
:01:00. > :01:04.by Labour saw the Tories lose overall control of the council.
:01:05. > :01:09.Elsewhere, UKIP made gains hn places like Daventry and Huntingdonshire.
:01:10. > :01:12.A difficult night then for the main parties, but L`bour at
:01:13. > :01:35.Pictures that tell the storx of the election in this part of thd world.
:01:36. > :01:39.UKIP upsurge. In Peterborough, they took three seats from the Tories who
:01:40. > :01:43.lost overall control of the council. I can't be more surprised
:01:44. > :01:52.but I am happy about it and I will do my best and that is all H can
:01:53. > :01:57.say. I am overwhelmed. What we have seen as a reaction to the Etropean
:01:58. > :02:06.elections and UKIP being a protest vote and when they protested they
:02:07. > :02:14.have protested by voting locally. In conservative Huntingdonshird, two
:02:15. > :02:17.UKIP gains. Leapfrogging thd Lib Dems into second place. It should
:02:18. > :02:22.give people pause for thought because they have gained se`ts where
:02:23. > :02:27.it wasn't expected. We need to reflect on what that tells ts about
:02:28. > :02:31.how people are feeling and we have had some feedback on the doorstep
:02:32. > :02:36.but there is work for everyone to do. Some of those are new mdssages
:02:37. > :02:41.that we have not heard as resoundingly before. The MP says
:02:42. > :02:52.UKIP did not have it all thdir own way. This is the target are`. They
:02:53. > :02:57.did not take seats in St Ivds or other places. It has been a poor
:02:58. > :03:01.day. This was the point at which they were meant to get their high
:03:02. > :03:06.tide. They have not really delivered in the way they said they would In
:03:07. > :03:16.Harlow UKIP took five seats, three from Labour who retain control.
:03:17. > :03:26.Daventry is a Conservative hold In Stevenage, Labour lost thred seats
:03:27. > :03:31.to the Tories but stay in power So, why the rise of UKIP? This hs what
:03:32. > :03:36.people in St Ives said. We do not trust the current government and the
:03:37. > :03:43.coalition isn't working. Thdy are pushing against one another. It is a
:03:44. > :03:50.protest. UKIP do not have any policies except immigration. They
:03:51. > :03:54.will flourish for a while, we are a 2`party nation really. He h`s some
:03:55. > :03:57.strange ideas but no one else has any idea what is going on. The
:03:58. > :04:04.Conservatives held South Calbridge. Conservatives held South Calbridge.
:04:05. > :04:08.Across the region, we have seen a purple foothold. They will build on
:04:09. > :04:14.that in the future, they sax. So a good night for UKIP and I'm
:04:15. > :04:18.joined now by Peter Reeve, the party's organiser
:04:19. > :04:28.for the Eastern region We have heard on the report despite
:04:29. > :04:32.your wins, people are calling this a protest vote. We have heard that for
:04:33. > :04:37.three or four years and longer. There was a limit to how long they
:04:38. > :04:41.can say this. The evidence practical and academic is when people vote for
:04:42. > :04:48.UKIP they stay voting for UKIP and the evidence is many of the people
:04:49. > :04:54.who voted for UKIP will continue to vote UKIP in the election. Xou have
:04:55. > :05:00.been voted in on the nation`l agenda but what will you do as UKIP
:05:01. > :05:04.councillors locally? Well, hn Norfolk the public said thex didn't
:05:05. > :05:10.want us `` the incinerator `nd UKIP stopped it. In Cambridge thd we
:05:11. > :05:14.brought a hung council and change the system of government and put
:05:15. > :05:22.communities in control. In ly own board where we got 60% of the vote
:05:23. > :05:26.where UKIP councillors are cleaning the public toilets and gritting the
:05:27. > :05:31.roads. That is the practical things we deliver. Can you translate that
:05:32. > :05:35.at the general election into seats in Westminster? The academics say we
:05:36. > :05:41.can, in north`west Cambridgdshire if the seats, the vote translates to
:05:42. > :05:49.Westminster votes, we will have 47% and winning the award. Some
:05:50. > :05:55.academics say we could have 20 plus MPs. I will be glad with anx UKIP
:05:56. > :06:00.MPs standing up for the people. We are the party that stands up for the
:06:01. > :06:04.ordinary people in the stredt, the playgrounds and the pub. Ard you
:06:05. > :06:10.strong enough as a fourth p`rty people know you for two polhcies,
:06:11. > :06:15.immigration and Europe. There was a time people said we only had one
:06:16. > :06:20.policy. I spoke on the radio about how we have clear blue water between
:06:21. > :06:24.many of the policies and thd other parties who sound the same. Whether
:06:25. > :06:30.opposing housing estates whhch are overbearing and concrete ``
:06:31. > :06:34.concreting the countryside `nd wind farms people do not want. Thank you
:06:35. > :06:37.very much indeed. It's not just been
:06:38. > :06:39.UKIP making gains. The Labour party too has moved
:06:40. > :06:42.forward, though not as far But they did hit
:06:43. > :06:45.their principal target in the region, taking an ovdrall
:06:46. > :07:00.majority on Cambridge City Council. Labour supporters cheering `s they
:07:01. > :07:06.took control of Cambridge Chty Council, something they had not done
:07:07. > :07:12.since 1996. Their leader saxs people living here will see changes. We are
:07:13. > :07:16.involved in all parts of thd city, the Lib Dems have given up `nd
:07:17. > :07:21.neglected areas. We will be looking at tackling the issues that arise
:07:22. > :07:27.from the prosperity, it is ` great boom but it causes problems for
:07:28. > :07:32.housing, division and many people on low incomes are finding it difficult
:07:33. > :07:38.with the cost of living. Thd Lib Dems have been in power for 14
:07:39. > :07:42.years, losing the leadership of the council in this iconic univdrsity
:07:43. > :07:51.city is a real blow. Their 21 seats cut to 40. It is sad for us having
:07:52. > :07:58.run the council here for thd last 14 years to have lost control but 4
:07:59. > :08:05.years is a good run and quite remarkable. So, we can leavd office
:08:06. > :08:10.with some pride at what we have achieved. Labour has waited 18 years
:08:11. > :08:13.to regain the Guildhall and in the end they had to wait until the early
:08:14. > :08:20.hours of the morning to fin`lly arrive. The Lib Dems fought hard and
:08:21. > :08:24.held on to a number of their seats. The fight in the general eldction
:08:25. > :08:38.here this time next year is likely to be just as fierce. You h`ve been
:08:39. > :08:43.out of power for 18 years, how does it feel to be back? It is a big
:08:44. > :08:49.change and an opportunity, we are offering a new broom, the voters
:08:50. > :08:54.have given their faith in l`bour, we have put forward a different agenda
:08:55. > :09:02.sharing prosperity, tackling congestion, focusing on housing Why
:09:03. > :09:07.has it taken 18 years? There is a national factor. We had
:09:08. > :09:12.nine seats at the time of the euro elections and now we're back to 25.
:09:13. > :09:18.There is the local and we h`ve rebuilt and we have two `` we have a
:09:19. > :09:25.powerful set of local candidates and we are in a position to belheve ``
:09:26. > :09:30.to lead across the city. Thd Lib Dems have retreated into half of the
:09:31. > :09:36.city and they are paying people to leaflet for them on minimum wage in
:09:37. > :09:41.large parts of Cambridge. What will you change? We have to do something
:09:42. > :09:45.about building more homes and working with South Cambridgdshire,
:09:46. > :09:53.we have to make everybody fdel part of that. Cambridge is two chties,
:09:54. > :09:59.the half not getting decent wages and cannot afford local housing and
:10:00. > :10:03.we have to help those peopld. We need to protect services and they
:10:04. > :10:09.are under threat at a time when there is pressure with new housing
:10:10. > :10:15.which is coming along. Can xour party meet the Lib Dems and return a
:10:16. > :10:21.Labour MP to Cambridge? Absolutely. We will see what happens on Sunday
:10:22. > :10:24.night. It is partly a fight between UKIP and the Conservatives for some
:10:25. > :10:30.of the votes and there was ` fight for the progressive vote. There is a
:10:31. > :10:33.lack of trust in the Lib Dels, they have broken many promises n`tionally
:10:34. > :10:37.and there was a lack of trust locally as well. Thank you.
:10:38. > :10:40.Well in Milton Keynes the count is still going on.
:10:41. > :10:42.It's another council which Labour is hoping to g`in
:10:43. > :10:53.Neil Bradford is at Stadium MK where the count's taking pl`ce.
:10:54. > :11:02.In fact the declaration is now taking place, this is the w`rd, the
:11:03. > :11:10.fourth wards to be declared. It is very tense here, Milton Keynes is
:11:11. > :11:14.always close. Even in this giant arena the tension is palpable. So
:11:15. > :11:19.far, it doesn't look like it's been a good night for the Lib Dels. The
:11:20. > :11:25.feeling is that Labour will be the biggest party with no overall
:11:26. > :11:30.control taking over from thd seller `` the Conservatives. Let's hear
:11:31. > :11:42.from the Conservative leader who announced to a standing down today.
:11:43. > :11:45.We are suffering from a good effort locally and administration but UKIP
:11:46. > :11:49.are affecting many of the votes They will not win a seat but they
:11:50. > :11:55.affect the other seats. It has cost us dearly. Boundary changes, six new
:11:56. > :11:59.councillors, wards that nevdr existed and people going from one
:12:00. > :12:04.ward to another. The electorate don't know where they are. Ht is a
:12:05. > :12:12.difficult and mixed picture and you have seen that in the votes. I did
:12:13. > :12:18.not heard the results because I was talking to you but we currently have
:12:19. > :12:25.six Labour councillors, thrde Conservatives, I will try to update
:12:26. > :12:33.you with the result if I can. There are 57 seats in 19 wards, 240
:12:34. > :12:37.candidates taking part. A word on the majorities, no overall control,
:12:38. > :12:44.Labour last had control of the council with no overall control in
:12:45. > :12:50.1990 `` 2002. They had control of the council with a majority of three
:12:51. > :12:55.in 1996. The only time after that the council has had any party with a
:12:56. > :13:02.majority was back in 2006 whth the Lib Dems with a majority of one It
:13:03. > :13:09.will be a tense evening tonhght as the declarations continue through
:13:10. > :13:14.the evening. We will have those results in the late bulletin at
:13:15. > :13:18.10:25pm. Later, we hear frol the political correspondence with a
:13:19. > :13:21.summary of what today's restlts are telling us.
:13:22. > :13:24.eight shopkeepers in Peterborough have been fhned
:13:25. > :13:26.for selling illegally`imported cigarettes and tobacco.
:13:27. > :13:30.were either smuggled into the country.
:13:31. > :13:31.or bought overseas with no duty paid.
:13:32. > :13:34.But it's not just the loss of revenue that concerns tr`ding
:13:35. > :13:42.It says that illegal cigarettes are putting lives at risk.
:13:43. > :13:45.These are just some of the 38,0 0 illegal cigarettes seized in one
:13:46. > :13:48.night. 15 stores across Petdrborough were raided last November. 01 were
:13:49. > :13:55.selling counterfeit tobacco or cigarettes imported illegally.
:13:56. > :13:57.Sniffer dogs helped unearth the goods hidden in unlikely pl`ces

:14:05. > :14:07.Trading Standards officers warn the banned products are dangerots. Many
:14:08. > :14:12.contain substances like rat poison. They're also a fire hazard. Today at
:14:13. > :14:27.the city's magistrates court 8 shopkeepers admitted selling illegal
:14:28. > :14:32.Some have caught fire and c`used harm when unattended. They `re not
:14:33. > :14:35.designed in a safe way. llegal cigarettes don't
:14:36. > :14:38.conform with British safety standards. All other cigarettes are
:14:39. > :14:42.designed to go out if they're not being actively smoked but these
:14:43. > :14:45.continue to burn and risk starting fires. This footage shows the
:14:46. > :14:48.difference in the way the two products behave. Today the court

:15:48. > :15:49.for the European Challenge Cup, before next week's Premiership
:15:50. > :15:51.final against Saracens. The game at Cardiff Arms Park is
:15:52. > :15:57.the first major final to be played Saints haven't won a cup final
:15:58. > :16:14.since 2010. Northampton fans follow a tdam
:16:15. > :16:19.involved in the end of season shake`up, two finals in a wdek, good
:16:20. > :16:24.value for the fans but George North joined the Saints to go the
:16:25. > :16:28.distance. It is one of the lain reasons I came here, the ch`nce of
:16:29. > :16:33.winning silverware. It has been a long season but tough. We sdt our
:16:34. > :16:41.stall out early that we want to get to the finals. We have a cotple to
:16:42. > :16:45.come. The dramatic win over Leicester set Northampton up nicely
:16:46. > :16:50.for part one, the European Challenge Cup against Bath. This is their 38th
:16:51. > :16:53.game of a long and exhausting season, what gives them hopd of
:16:54. > :16:57.putting silverware in the trophy cabinet after a gap of four years is
:16:58. > :17:05.the strength in depth is better than it's ever been. When they won they
:17:06. > :17:10.had a team, now they have a squad, they can rest a few players and
:17:11. > :17:14.still go out in the field. They have come together more as a teal. And
:17:15. > :17:22.they are working hard and playing well together. Saints say they are
:17:23. > :17:27.ready to shed their bridesm`id tag. We have been in finals in the last
:17:28. > :17:32.few seasons and come away whth nothing. It is our time. We have a
:17:33. > :17:36.big couple of weeks, Bath whll be huge challenge. On paper, S`int
:17:37. > :17:41.favourites, the game would be played on grass. It is the first m`jor
:17:42. > :17:46.final to grace an artificial pitch. Saints need to prove they c`n the
:17:47. > :18:02.conditions and pick a punch when it matters. A parade will celebrate the
:18:03. > :18:06.Wembley victory. Thousands of fans are expected to line the streets.
:18:07. > :18:09.The bus will set off from the stadium at ten o'clock.

:18:20. > :18:22.It's hoped the road will provide a boost to the town's econoly
:18:23. > :18:25.and make it a more attractive location for businesses.
:18:26. > :18:29.The road is just four miles long and has taken just under two years

:19:03. > :19:27.RSPB Minsmere reserve. Todax, they got a feel for their new hole.
:19:28. > :19:33.They call it the arc, because of its history of saving rapidly ddclining
:19:34. > :19:36.species from extinction. Minsmere, on the stunning Suffolk coast, home
:19:37. > :19:38.to more than 5000 plants and animals, and for the next three
:19:39. > :19:40.weeks, home to Springwatch. It is rock 'n' roll nature that m`kes
:19:41. > :19:42.bird`watching cool, and the team leader, Chris Packham, is OK with
:19:43. > :19:44.that. We used to call it thd honeypot, because it was always the
:19:45. > :19:48.busiest reserve anywhere in the country. It is still busy now. I
:19:49. > :19:50.used to be annoyed by that. I have matured to realise that somd of the
:19:51. > :19:51.kids and other people are the people that probably work here now. Pack
:19:52. > :19:54.and Strachan and Martin Hughes games will be on`site and live night for
:19:55. > :20:00.three weeks. They have set tp camp for three years, and have btilt a
:20:01. > :20:10.room with a view. Today, last set dressing, but already, the lonitors
:20:11. > :20:15.are in, with cameras watching an array of nests around the rdserve
:20:16. > :20:20.will stop I only arrived yesterday, but already, I have seen such a rich
:20:21. > :20:29.diversity of habitats. I bulped into a red deer yesterday. I havd been
:20:30. > :20:32.looking at Badger sets todax. There are lots of beautiful everywhere. We
:20:33. > :20:34.are really excited to be here. Who knows who the stars will be?
:20:35. > :20:42.Maybe the avocets when they return to breeding in the UK, as they did
:20:43. > :20:45.60 years ago, will return. We have got plans about what we aim to do
:20:46. > :20:49.over the next few weeks. Whdther they come to fruition or not will be
:20:50. > :20:53.in the hands of birds and the weather and other factors. Linsmere
:20:54. > :20:57.is Chris Packham ayes favourite place on earth, and with thd
:20:58. > :21:03.Springwatch team, he just c`n't wait to show it off.
:21:04. > :21:08.Springwatch starts on Mondax at eight o'clock on BBC Two. Now, back
:21:09. > :21:11.to the election. We have had the results council by counsel, but how
:21:12. > :21:15.does that leave the region `s a whole?
:21:16. > :21:19.Kim Riley has the numbers. Yes, the long, drawn`out eldctions
:21:20. > :21:22.have not reached their conclusion, but let's try and get the mdasure of
:21:23. > :21:31.where we were 24 hours ago, and how things have changed. 20 councils
:21:32. > :21:41.were up for election across the East. The Conservatives held 12
:21:42. > :21:49.Labour held five, and three were in no overall control, in other words,
:21:50. > :21:59.no single party had enough councillors to outvote the rest On
:22:00. > :22:09.the 20 councils, the battle ground of some 350 seats up for eldction.
:22:10. > :22:11.The Conservatives defended the most, 179. Labour defended 74, thd Liberal
:22:12. > :22:14.Democrats 67, independents 08, the Greens, six, and UKIP, just three
:22:15. > :22:29.seats, seats they were fighting to hold on to. Now the votes h`ve been
:22:30. > :22:31.cast, how has that picture change? So far, the Conservatives h`ve lost
:22:32. > :22:33.45 seats. Labour have gained 11 The 45 seats. Labour have gained 11 The
:22:34. > :22:38.Lib Dems are down 21. Indepdndents are up, Greens down one, and the big
:22:39. > :22:40.winners at the end, UKIP, b`gging 47 extra seats. When it comes to who is
:22:41. > :22:42.in control of the 20 councils, Conservatives did have 12. They are
:22:43. > :22:47.now down to seven after loshng five to no overall control. Labotr had
:22:48. > :22:54.five councils. They gained one and lost one, so they are still on five.
:22:55. > :23:02.Around seven of the 20 have no one party in overall control. Mhlton
:23:03. > :23:09.Keynes is still to declare. UKIP does not control any borough or
:23:10. > :23:13.district councils in the east. The Conservatives remain the dolinant
:23:14. > :23:19.party in local government. But with the European results still to come
:23:20. > :23:20.on Sunday, UKIP is the partx with that very valuable political
:23:21. > :23:23.commodity, momentum. Thank xou. Andrew Sinclair was at the count in

:23:26. > :23:29.assessment? What stands out is, it has been a bad night for thd
:23:30. > :23:30.Conservatives. They lost sole very key and important councils, Excel
:23:31. > :23:32.found in Peterborough. Dash`macro like Southend and Peterborotgh. A
:23:33. > :23:36.very good night for UKIP. Nhgel Farage said he wanted to crdate an
:23:37. > :23:38.earthquake, and he has. Whatever happens at the general election
:23:39. > :23:41.these councillors are now whth us in our town halls for the next four
:23:42. > :23:46.years, making decisions abott waste, local transport, and planning
:23:47. > :23:48.matters. If they can prove themselves as being competent local
:23:49. > :23:54.councillors, they could well find themselves getting re`electdd next
:23:55. > :23:59.time round. For Labour, a mhxed picture. They did well in their
:24:00. > :24:02.strongholds like Stevenage, but in others, like Great Yarmouth, where
:24:03. > :24:06.UKIP gained ten seats, and hn Basildon, where they didn't make a
:24:07. > :24:09.single game, I think they whll be very concerned that they didn't do
:24:10. > :24:13.as well and some of those sdats as they have been hoping to. Thank you
:24:14. > :24:17.very much. You can see a full round`up of
