:00:17. > :00:23.votes are being tallied in Sunderland, where we can join Mark
:00:24. > :00:32.Denten now. Yes, the quickest declaration in the
:00:33. > :00:36.country in the North East. So quick that they are taking the stage down
:00:37. > :00:44.already. The big news tonight is UKIP of their first MEP in the North
:00:45. > :00:50.East. A maths teacher, and chess expert is now a member of the
:00:51. > :00:57.European Parliament. Labour, as it did five years ago, topping the poll
:00:58. > :01:04.with UKIP behind them. The first Labour MP is Jude darling. Paul
:01:05. > :01:11.Brannan being the second Labour MEP. The big news is Martin Cullen, and
:01:12. > :01:15.MEP for many years in the North East for the Conservatives has lost his
:01:16. > :01:23.seat. The leader of a group in the European Parliament. He has lost his
:01:24. > :01:31.seat tonight. The other big news is the Democrats didn't have one of the
:01:32. > :01:34.three seats in the region. They have lost their seat. Licking their
:01:35. > :01:39.wounds tonight. This was the quickest decoration in the country.
:01:40. > :01:50.All 11 areas plus Sunderland all filtered through today. The
:01:51. > :01:54.declaration was 1015 PM. To Labour seats and one for the first time in
:01:55. > :01:58.the new face `` in the North East to UKIP.
:01:59. > :02:01.We'll have the other results from the region and reaction, of course,
:02:02. > :02:06.in Look North tomorrow. And there's more analysis online.
:02:07. > :02:11.A postmortem examination is due to be carried out on the body of a man
:02:12. > :02:14.found at a property in Newcastle just after 6.00am this morning. A
:02:15. > :02:20.cordon is in place at Leazes Court and extra officers are patrolling
:02:21. > :02:22.the area. A man in his 50s has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
:02:23. > :02:26.Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
:02:27. > :02:28.A Roman Catholic Priest, Father John Reid from County Durham, has been
:02:29. > :02:30.arrested following concerns about financial irregularities at St
:02:31. > :02:35.Cuthbert's Church in Chester`le`Street where he was
:02:36. > :02:38.parish priest. In a statement the Right Reverend Seamus Cunningham,
:02:39. > :02:41.the Bishop of Newcastle and Hexham, said Father Reid had voluntarily
:02:42. > :02:48.withdrawn from public ministry and that the diocese was cooperating
:02:49. > :02:51.fully with the police enquiry. It's being claimed that people's
:02:52. > :02:55.safety could be compromised by plans to close three major police stations
:02:56. > :02:58.overnight. Cleveland Police will shut the three stations at
:02:59. > :03:04.Hartlepool, Stockton and Kirkleatham from 10.00pm at night until 8.00am.
:03:05. > :03:11.The force is trying to save ?26 million from its budget, over the
:03:12. > :03:16.next five years. Without making `` it is about making
:03:17. > :03:20.the best use of the limited resources we have got and we need to
:03:21. > :03:25.make sure the public are being best served. Those patients were only
:03:26. > :03:29.receiving a couple of enquiries per night. For them to actually close
:03:30. > :03:35.the police station to the public or to not have a manned station through
:03:36. > :03:38.the night is a very dangerous step. A lot of people think of them as a
:03:39. > :03:41.place of safety. That brings us to the weather
:03:42. > :03:47.forecast for the Bank Holiday and beyond with Jennifer Bartram.
:03:48. > :03:51.Good evening. The heavy showers will continue through this evening and
:03:52. > :03:57.overnight, eventually pushing away to the North, where we will be left
:03:58. > :04:01.with clear spells and patches of mist and fog. Otherwise it will be a
:04:02. > :04:08.trying out with temperatures at around 10 Celsius. A bright start to
:04:09. > :04:13.Monday morning once the patchy mist have cleared away and most of us are
:04:14. > :04:16.going to have a dry start to the bank holiday. Into the afternoon we
:04:17. > :04:23.will see some showers in the Pennines. Which is doing well at
:04:24. > :04:28.around 18 Celsius. If we take a look at the pressure chart into Tuesday,
:04:29. > :04:32.Tuesday is looking generally dry but into Wednesday this rant is going to
:04:33. > :04:37.move through from the south`east and this will bring heavy rain to many
:04:38. > :04:44.of us. The outlook across parts of Cumbria first of all. A mostly dry
:04:45. > :04:47.day on Wednesday but some heavy rain with a familiar picture.
:04:48. > :04:50.Analysis of those election results in Look North tomorrow of course.
:04:51. > :04:52.And we're back in breakfast from 6.25am to start your Monday. From
:04:53. > :05:10.the late team here, goodnight. Good evening to you. Tomorrow the
