:00:00. > 3:59:59European election results after the news where you are. Bye.
:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. Labour and UKIP look set to
:00:12. > :00:16.be the big winners in the European elections in our area. The results
:00:17. > :00:19.are currently being declared in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Our
:00:20. > :00:22.political editor Tim Iredale reports from the count in Leeds.
:00:23. > :00:24.Well, the procedure here tonight is a bit like the Eurovision Song
:00:25. > :00:27.Contest. Counting has been taking place at local authority districts
:00:28. > :00:31.across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire today and over the next few minutes
:00:32. > :00:34.the results will be phoned in across the Yorkshire and Humber region to
:00:35. > :00:38.this results coordination centre in Leeds and then we will know how the
:00:39. > :00:41.various districts have voted in the European elections, and we will know
:00:42. > :00:45.who wins the six seats which are up for grabs here in Yorkshire and the
:00:46. > :00:51.Humber. Now, already we understand that it has been a good night for
:00:52. > :00:54.UKIP across the region. We understand Jane Collins, the East
:00:55. > :00:57.Yorkshire`based candidate, who is number one on the list, she has been
:00:58. > :01:01.elected and Amjab Bashir, the number two on the list, the Yorkshire
:01:02. > :01:13.`based businessman who was born in Pakistan, he also is on his way to
:01:14. > :01:17.Brussels. So UKIP have doubled their total number of MEPs so far. Labour
:01:18. > :01:22.reckon they also have doubled their MEPs from one to two. The worried
:01:23. > :01:28.parties here are the Liberal Democrats. A few months ago, Edward
:01:29. > :01:33.Scott, one of their MEPs, was on the floor not looking very happy. They
:01:34. > :01:37.know they are going to struggle to keep any MEPs in this region
:01:38. > :01:40.tonight. The Green Party say they are quietly confident at perhaps
:01:41. > :01:45.sneaking in and winning one of the six MEPs. One thing we do know for
:01:46. > :01:49.sure is the turnout. Just over 32% in Yorkshire and the Humber saw one
:01:50. > :01:55.in three people take part in these elections.
:01:56. > :02:03.And we'll have the results for you in our breakfast bulletins.
:02:04. > :02:06.More than 500 volunteers have joined the Lincolnshire Police Force a year
:02:07. > :02:10.since the Police and Crime Commissioner launched a campaign to
:02:11. > :02:14.recruit a thousand. Getting them in place has cost more than six hundred
:02:15. > :02:17.thousand pounds, money some argue should have been spent on employing
:02:18. > :02:23.full time officers. Tolu Adeoye reports.
:02:24. > :02:25.Kitted out for his first day in the field with Lincolnshire police.
:02:26. > :02:29.20`year`old student Jacob Mason is one of 500 volunteers taken on in
:02:30. > :02:34.the first year of a project to get 1000 people working for the force
:02:35. > :02:38.for free. Today he is part of an operation hunting for contraband in
:02:39. > :02:41.Grantham. We are just waiting for the sniffer
:02:42. > :02:45.dogs to come and sniff out the store. Looking for anything, hides
:02:46. > :02:49.or anything counterfeit or illegal. From volunteering in the police, I
:02:50. > :02:55.am definitely getting a foot in. And possibly a career in the future.
:02:56. > :02:58.The new recruits include support workers like Jacob, specials with
:02:59. > :03:04.the same power as regular officers, as well as cadets in the countries
:03:05. > :03:08.first voluntary PCSOs. I am absolutely delighted. This is a
:03:09. > :03:11.milestone for us. It is a 1000 challenge, that's an ambition, but
:03:12. > :03:14.it shows that we have struck a chord there with many, many people in
:03:15. > :03:19.Lincolnshire who want to do something for their communities.
:03:20. > :03:22.Lincolnshire police have spent around ?630,000 recruiting and
:03:23. > :03:27.training the volunteers it has so far. That amount of money could pave
:03:28. > :03:30.the starting salary of around 25 officers for a year. The force,
:03:31. > :03:32.though, says that for every pound it spends on volunteers, it makes back
:03:33. > :03:41.?4. That is a principle for me and my
:03:42. > :03:44.colleagues in the federation. If there is money available it should
:03:45. > :03:48.be spent providing more front line police officers. That's not to decry
:03:49. > :03:51.the work that the volunteers will do. The force has been hugely
:03:52. > :03:55.professional in the way that it has gone about recruiting the right
:03:56. > :03:57.people and trying to put them in the right places.
:03:58. > :04:01.Back in Grantham, it has been a successful day for Jacob's team. It
:04:02. > :04:05.is down to him to photograph the evidence. After today's operation,
:04:06. > :04:09.he says he is more convinced than ever he made the right decision
:04:10. > :04:13.volunteering. The Commissioner needs 500 more like him to hit its target
:04:14. > :04:29.by 2016. Tolu Adeoye, BBC Look North.
:04:30. > :04:36.Now time to get the latest weather forecast with Jennifer Bartram.
:04:37. > :04:41.Hello again, good evening. After the showers we have seen today it is
:04:42. > :04:45.actually a dry night in store for many of us with some clear spells.
:04:46. > :04:48.Under those clear skies, we could well see some patches of mist and
:04:49. > :04:51.fog in places. Temperatures, overnight, will fall back to around
:04:52. > :04:55.nine or ten Celsius and the winds will be light. Into Monday, it is a
:04:56. > :04:58.dry start with some bright spells through the morning. However, as we
:04:59. > :05:00.head into the afternoon, there are going to be some sharp showers
:05:01. > :05:12.popping up temperatures tomorrow Good evening to you. Tomorrow the
:05:13. > :05:16.weather will be a little like a box of chocolate, you don't know what
:05:17. > :05:22.you are going to get until you head out. The weather was clear cut
:05:23. > :05:27.today, sunshine in the Midlands and the north.
:05:28. > :05:30.Tomorrow, there's going to be a mix of everything across the country and
:05:31. > :05:34.it will be changing a lot from morning into the afternoon and into
:05:35. > :05:38.the evening. This is what the weather is going to look like in the
:05:39. > :05:43.early hours, rain in the south-east, showers dotted around across western
:05:44. > :05:48.areas, and as far as the headline goes for Bank Holiday Monday, we'll
:05:49. > :05:52.call it sunshine and thundery showers, because they'll be hefty
:05:53. > :05:56.later on in the afternoon on Monday. This is what it starts like in the
:05:57. > :06:00.course of the morning. Note it is splodges of blue indicating the
:06:01. > :06:03.rainfall. They keep changing and moving into different places, there
:06:04. > :06:07.is a lot of sunshine coming through. In terms of the thundery downpours,
:06:08. > :06:12.we think the worst will be through this portion here whereas across the
:06:13. > :06:17.east, probably talking ability cloud and rain on and off with a bit of
:06:18. > :06:18.sunshine in-between. On
