to be some follow-through. So what comes next? Join me on BBC Two.

The headlines from BBC Look North this Monday night: Humberside's top

police officer steps down as Chief Constable.

The man behind the decision says the public and staff

I'm pleased that she took this decision to go.

I think it's in the best interests of the force and I think,

from here on in, we can look forward to the next chapter

And Lincoln City's historic FA Cup run will continue with a game

against Premier League giants Arsenal.

Very changeable week to come, including news of some potentially

The head of Humberside Police has announced she is to quit.

In a surprise announcement, Justine Curran said she will

retire as Chief Constable with immediate effect.

The decision to replace her was taken by the Police

and Crime Commissioner, Keith Hunter.

He's told Look North that one of the driving factors

in his decision was the public losing confidence in the force.

Jill Archbold is live for us now at Humberside Police headquarters.

We know that just Dean Curran has been under pressure to show her

forces improving. It has been criticised twice in two successive

reports and was rated inadequate in 2015. At that time, the police and

crime commission said the public had been let down and that he wanted to

night, he told us he had met the night, he told us he had met the

Chief Constable and talked and he wanted new leadership.

Justine Curran's arrival was heralded as a new era

She's even recieved royal recognition for her services,

but now the Chief Constable is retiring more than a year

Under her charge, the force has been criticised for its response times

and staffing levels but, just three months ago,

There has been a huge amount of improvement

but there's still more to do, and I accept that.

We're on a journey of improvement and there

In April 2013, Justine Curran was appointed Chief Constable

In 2015, she introduced controversial changes to shift

patterns that were unpopular with many of her officers.

That October, her force was the only one in the country to be rated

Three months ago, the force was once again told it required improvement.

When Humberside's Police and Crime Commisioner took office,

he said Justine Curran had six months to convince him

I have set the Chief Constable my concerns and told her we needed new

leadership. From here running, we can look forward to the next chapter

in Humberside Police history. The process to find the next person

to lead the Humberside force begins immediately. As of now, she has been

replaced by her deputy but we understand that no financial

settlement was reached as part of her early retirement and the task of

finding a new Chief Constable will fall to the Police and Crime

Commissioner, a process he says is already underway tonight and one

that could take 3-4 months. And a short time ago,

from Scunthorpe Police Station, He's the chair of the Humberside

Police Federation, which represents I asked him if he agreed

with Keith Hunter's decision to ask Justine Curran

consider her position. It is a matter for the Commissioner,

it is not solely a matter for us. But we wish the former chief happy

retirement. It is a decision he felt he had to make. Do you agree with Mr

Hunt's statement that he has lost confidence in the police? No, I

don't. We provide a service to the public and we have come through an

age of austerity and government cuts and it has proved very difficult for

officers to deliver that service but they go out daily and do it. They

had a staff survey and it has come back not good as far as confidence

is concerned in the leaders, in other words, the Chief Constable,

and this is what has brought this about. The Commissioner has decided

to take because of action he has done. I always found that the chief

gave us an audience. She was always willing to meet with us. We did not

agree on everything but her daughter has always been open but the matter

for the Commissioner. Given what we sort of know about the staff survey,

officers to it is the having the supper, they will be happy. Some

might be, yes, but others might not. I can only speak personally. When I

have raised matters with her, she has always been willing to listen.

Others have not taken that view. But some officers will be happy that

there is a new leadership but I do wish you well on her retirement.

on or do you think it is time, as on or do you think it is time, as

the crime Commissioner thinks, the new blood to come in to address the

problems? Beachy felt it is time to pass on the baton and that is a

personal decision for her. She spent nearly 30 years as a police officer

and served in various communities to the best of her ability. If she felt

she was known longer able to take Humberside further, she made that

decision and I wish you well in that.

1,000 recently hatched chicks, which were found abandoned

in South Lincolnshire, have had to be humanely killed.

The day-old chicks were discovered on the outskirts

The RSPCA says, because they were found near a bird flu exclusion

zone, it would have been too risky for the chicks to be rehomed.

It's official ? non-league Lincoln City will play

Premier League giants Arsenal in the next round of the FA Cup.

The Gunners have just beaten Sutton in their fifth-round match.

It means the Imps, who are still revelling in their historic win over

Burnley on the weekend, will now get the big name game

The first time they have ever been in the FA

The camera in the dressing room said it all.

But if you needed words, magical, legendary and dramatic were used

to describe the moment Lincoln City made history.

I never is thought I would see Lincoln in the quarterfinals.

I cannot believe a middle-aged woman has cried at a football match,

It was absolutely amazing, an unreal atmosphere.

Hailed as a miracle, the club's achievements led

It was plastered all over the front pages of the press and the team's

name was snapped on a billboard in Times Square in New York.

Social media exploded with household names

like Olly Murs tweeting, "Incredible!"

And congratulations, too, from Ant and Dec.

Local Hollywood actor Colin Mcfarlane has been talking

about the win on local radio and has been getting requests worldwide.

People are looking up where Lincoln is, people are calling me and

tweeting me. In Lincoln city centre, shops

where embracing the team's success. We had a red white and ros wine and

there was so much interest. But more than anything,

it is the feel-good factor amongst staff and customers,

it is exciting, everyone is talking No other non-league

club has gone this far. It was 1914, the year

World War 1 broke out, that Queens Park Rangers made it

to a similar stage. Definitely unprecedented

in the world of football. There has not been

a result like this ever. So far, the club have made

?1.5 million from prize money, and that could double

in the next round. But could they even

win the competion? The Imps started out

as 1,000-1 outsiders. But since their win at Burnley,

their odds of winning the FA Cup have been slashed to 100-1

watch Arsenal fight off the non-league competition, Sutton. It

is guaranteed Lincoln city another big game for the quarterfinals and

if they can win that, Wembley awaits.

We have had 16 Celsius today in south Lincolnshire. Tomorrow looks

pleasant as well, dry, blight, some sunshine but this angry looking

system could bring wind and rain and potentially even snow later on

Thursday. More details to come. A fairly quiet night come, patchy rain

for this farce at a time, the wind will eventually freeze, frost for

you as well. Tomorrow, pleasant, a sunny start, some spells developing

across Lincoln. Later in the afternoon, cloud will increase,

bringing rain Tuesday evening on Tuesday night. Top temperatures 12

Celsius but very unsettled into Thursday.

little milder, but it will be a wet start and it will brighten up later.

As you have just seen, after a day in which some of you have been

shedding the layers, you will be putting them back on for the rest of

this week. Big changes ahead, all down to where the air has been

coming from. Today, it originated in the Caribbean, hence the name

tropical maritime air. Temperatures peaked at 18 degrees. But later this

week, the winds go to the north-west, a different source,

polar maritime air. Still over the sea, but from a colder place, so

temperatures will struggle. Bringing about that change, a strengthening

jet stream. At the moment, we still have tropical maritime air with us

across southern parts of the UK. With it, lots of cloud. Moisture
