here in cumbria the tories have replaced labour as the largest party.hat the national scene has a lot to do with it. i think theresa may came across on the doorstep really, really well, really positive. we've had no negativity towards the conservative party at all. i think it bodes extremely well for the general election in five weeks‘ time. clearly labour nationally is a long way behind in the opinion polls and inevitably the election will reflect that. my own view is that the result in the general election won't be as bad as the polls would currently indicate. i think we will be able to close the gap between now and the 8th ofjune. but there was some positive news for labour when the counting finished in doncaster. they held onto the mayor's job here. it's in lincolnshire that this man, ukip‘s leader paul nuttall, will fight for a westminster seat next month. but overnight his party was wiped out from the local authority. i don't think people have stopped voting ukip, i concede we have lost seats today but we have always said we expect this to be a ve

four years ago another keeper was killed by a sumatran tiger at this zoo in cumbria.agers have described the death of rosa king as a freak accident, but alongside the shock and grief, there is a need to find out what went wrong and why. the zoo has not identified which particular tiger was involved in this but says the animal is unharmed and says it will update everyone on its investigation as soon as it possibly can. meanwhile, the police say they have closed their enquiry because they have determined there were no suspicious circumstances. they have passed on their findings to the local authority, huntingdonshire district council, who are responsible for licensing the zoo — and they may then determine whether there should be any issues or prosecution around health and safety matters. joining me now from near frome in somerset is the wildlife broadcaster, simon king an investigation is underway by hamerton zoo, can you hazard a guess as to how this could have happened? asi as to how this could have happened? as i think you have already heard, andi as i think you have
