finish one ahead of Shane Lowry of Ireland. And that is all the sport. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
There's more Good evening. Counting has started | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
for the North West's European Election. Voters went to the ballot | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
box on Thursday to choose eight Euro MPs. There are counts at councils | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
across the region tonight, coordinated from Manchester Town | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Hall. Our political editor Arif Ansari is there. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
This is the count for voters in Manchester. 11 political parties on | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
the ballot paper, plenty of choice. And these elections are taking place | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
in about 40 councils across the north`west. As the results come in, | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
they will go up on that scoreboard over there and Manchester town hall | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
will be the place where those numbers are totalled up and divided. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
There are eight Euro MPs in the region. And what will happen to | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
political parties? Labour at the moment have two but expect to go up | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
to three. The Conservatives on three are braced to lose one, to go down | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
to two. On a bad day, it could be even worse. What about UKIP? They | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
won one here five years ago. They are probably going to go on to two | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
tonight. That is what they are aiming for. And then the eighth | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
seat, the big story here last time was when Nick Griffin won it for the | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
BNP. He is expected to lose. Will the Lib Dems hold on or could the | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Greens take it? Plenty of questions here and we will find out in the | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
next few hours. Meanwhile, Southport's Lib Dem MP | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
John Pugh is questioning Nick Clegg's leadership of the party | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
after dismal local election results saw them lose more than 250 local | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
councillors. Misty Pugh suggested a dozen of his Commons colleagues had | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
expressed doubts about the Deputy Prime Minister saying, "While the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Captain goes down with the ship, there's no need for the ship to go | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
down with the captain." But Cheadle's Lib Dem MP Mark Hunter | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
told Sunday Politics that it would be foolish to change leaders now. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
There is clearly a problem about engagement, which we have | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
acknowledged. We have to work harder at getting that message across and | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
finding other ways in which we might be able to do it. But I do not think | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the idea of changing leaders 12 months out from the general | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
election... The idea that with one single bound we can be free of all | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
these problems and a new leader will magically transform our fortune is | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
for the birds. One of the the region's biggest | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
animal charities has launched a campaign to help prevent dogs | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
overheating in cars. The Dogs Trust says there's been an annual rise in | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
the number of dogs dying in the North West, with many owners unaware | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
of the danger they're putting their pets in. Ian Haslam reports. | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
It is simple, poignant and it could be a life`saver. The message could | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
not be clearer. This is something that is on the increase. People do | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
forget that dogs can die in hot cars. It can only take 20 minutes | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
for a dog to actually die in a hot car. Here at the charity's North | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
West base, many of the staff have seen the problem first`hand. Some of | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
the examples are actually on Southport beach. People have left | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
their dogs in the car while they have gone shopping. They have had to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
be rescued. I actually saw a dog in the boot of a car panting very | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
heavily and the owners were totally unaware. Unfortunately, there have | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
also been many examples of dogs overheating on car journeys in the | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
region. The advice is to keep your car as cool as possible, get things | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
like these sunblinds for the windows and stop regularly so the dog can | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
drink water. They need to really think about what they are doing when | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
they leave the dog in the car. Basically do not do it. Please do | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
not do it. The Dog's Trust have put out similar messages to this in the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
past. They are hoping this one will prove a turning point. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Liverpool's first Rock and Roll Marathon and Half Marathon's been | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
taking place today. The 7,500 runners were greeted with live music | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
and entertainment at almost every mile. The event, which was spread | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
across the city, started and finished at the iconic waterfront. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Really nice out in the park. A good day up there and then coming along | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
the Mersey towards the end was perfect. Seeing kids all lined up. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
People supporting their rain and their family. It feels great to have | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
loads of scousers cheering us on. It was brilliant fun. Lovely weather. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Lovely city to run around. Absolutely amazing. I am getting | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
married next Saturday and my bride`to`be is about an hour behind | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
me. She cannot catch me! In Super League, Ben Currie's brace | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
helped Warrington to a convincing 36`4 win at Wakefield. But Widnes | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
lost 34`22 at Castleford. Cricket now. The first day of | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Lancashire's County Championship match against Yorkshire at | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Headingley has been badly affected by rain. Lancashire are batting | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
first and are 86 for one. The weather now, with Mel Coles. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Good evening. Showers have been the order of the day and are putting in | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
an appearance tomorrow, too. But we should get to see some dry, bright | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
spells as well. Back to this evening, the showers continuing. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
Some are still quite heavy although they will fade as the night goes on. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
A few clear spells may be allowing for some mist and fog to develop. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Temperatures dropping. Tomorrow, for most places, getting off to a dry | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
start with some brightness through the morning and into the early part | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
of the afternoon. Showers return as we go through into the afternoon. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Some could be potentially heavy and thundery. Tuesday looks like being a | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
showery day but a little bit later on there will be the risk of some | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
rain moving in. See you later. Goodbye. | :05:45. | :06:08. | |
Good evening. Some of us had a pretty good soaking. It downpours | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
around with thunder and lightning. It wasn't so bad everywhere. The | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
satellite picture across the Midlands, East Anglia and the south | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
coast, the Isle of Wight. A beautiful end to the day. You can | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
see further west and north and that is | :06:31. | :06:31. |
