:00:39. > :00:41.overnight. Cleveland Police will shut the three stations at
:00:42. > :00:46.Hartlepool, Stockton and Kirkleatham from ten o'clock at night until
:00:47. > :00:49.eight in the morning. The move's part of cost`cutting measures as the

:01:04. > :01:08.claims he's trying to protect in the budget cuts. So to save money, he's
:01:09. > :01:10.supporting plans to close three of its main police headquarters
:01:11. > :01:18.overnight, in Hartlepool, Stockton and Kirkleatham. It's about making
:01:19. > :01:21.the best use of the limited resources we have. We need to make
:01:22. > :01:24.sure the police are efficient and effective and the public have been
:01:25. > :01:28.best served. Those stations were only receiving one or two inquiries
:01:29. > :01:35.per night, so what we were doing was staffing a front desk for the night
:01:36. > :01:38.and getting one or two inquiries. Most people, he says, report
:01:39. > :01:44.incidents over the phone and rarely walk into a station. But some claim
:01:45. > :01:48.that would lead to an increase in crime and anti`social behaviour in
:01:49. > :01:52.those areas. I think what we're seeing is the beginning of a serious
:01:53. > :01:55.salami slicing, which will be at the detriment of Hartlepool. To actually
:01:56. > :01:59.close the police station to the public whilst not having a manned
:02:00. > :02:06.station there through the night is a very dangerous step. A lot of people
:02:07. > :02:10.go to police stations as a place of safety. Cleveland Police says it's
:02:11. > :02:13.not unusual for stations to be closed overnight. It says many
:02:14. > :02:18.neighbouring forces already do the same. It's promised to fit a video

:02:42. > :02:43.cast on Thursday, and the results will be announced later this
:02:44. > :02:47.evening, with Sunderland the location for the North East count.
:02:48. > :02:51.There are three North East seats up for election ` eight in the North
:02:52. > :02:55.West, which includes Cumbria, and six in Yorkshire. We'll have all the
:02:56. > :02:58.latest from Sunderland on our late bulletin. And the results programme
:02:59. > :03:02.starts on BBC One from 11.00 tonight. There's also coverage
:03:03. > :03:05.online. Conservationists in County Durham
:03:06. > :03:08.who are trying to breed a rare type of butterfly say thieves may have
:03:09. > :03:14.inadvertently set back three years of work. A large quantity of moss
:03:15. > :03:17.has been taken from Burnhill Nature Reserve, and as Phil Connell
:03:18. > :03:23.reports, the moss contains a plant crucial to the butterfly's survival.
:03:24. > :03:29.It's the kind of moss that is highly prized by gardeners. On the Burnhill
:03:30. > :03:35.Nature Reserve, though, sphagnum moss is being used to attract a rare
:03:36. > :03:37.type of butterfly. The caterpillars that eventually turn into these
:03:38. > :03:43.butterflies feed on these marsh violets that grow here inside the
:03:44. > :03:47.moss. In the last few weeks, though, it's estimated around 50 large bags
:03:48. > :03:50.of the moss have been stolen, possibly by a professional gang
:03:51. > :03:55.selling it to gardeners for hanging baskets. Conservationists say the
:03:56. > :04:02.endangered butterfly, the pearl`bordered fritillary, has seen
:04:03. > :04:05.its numbers fall by 95%. And the removal of moss from the reserve
:04:06. > :04:09.near Consett is the last thing they need. It's extremely annoying,
:04:10. > :04:13.because there are that many people who put that much time and effort
:04:14. > :04:17.into creating these places to try to save this butterfly, which 15 years
:04:18. > :04:22.ago, all we find was maybe a dozen of these butterflies. To counter the
:04:23. > :04:25.damage, volunteers have been planting new marsh violets in areas
:04:26. > :04:33.of moss nearby, providing a crucial food source for caterpillars that
:04:34. > :04:36.may have survived. After almost a year as caterpillars, butterflies
:04:37. > :04:40.will be hatching in the next few weeks. Only then will Rangers know
:04:41. > :04:49.exactly how much damage has been caused.
:04:50. > :04:52.So, what about the region's weather prospects for our Bank Holiday
:04:53. > :04:55.Monday? With the outlook, here's Jennifer Bartram.
:04:56. > :05:01.Good evening. It's certainly been a wet day across parts of the North
:05:02. > :05:04.East and Cumbria. The showers will continue as we head through this
:05:05. > :05:07.evening and overnight. Again, they will be heavy at times, but they
:05:08. > :05:10.will eventually die away in the early hours of Monday morning.
:05:11. > :05:13.Things will be dry. Temperatures overnight will fall back to ten
:05:14. > :05:17.degrees Celsius. We could have some patches of mist and fog across parts
:05:18. > :05:21.of Cumbria initially, but many parts will have a dry and bright start to
:05:22. > :05:25.the bank holiday Monday. Dry through much of the day, but showers will
:05:26. > :05:27.start to get going later on in the afternoon, mainly across parts of
:05:28. > :05:31.the Pennines. Temperatures tomorrow doing well with highs of around 18
:05:32. > :05:35.degrees Celsius. As we go through the rest of the week, Tuesday is
:05:36. > :05:39.looking like a decent day. It will be dry and cloudy for most of us,
:05:40. > :05:42.but an area of rain is going to move in from the south`east, leading to
:05:43. > :05:45.heavy downpours as we get into Wednesday.
:05:46. > :05:50.And that's our summary. We're back at the later`than`usual time of
:05:51. > :05:53.10.50 tonight, as the results are being counted in the European
:05:54. > :06:09.Elections. Join us then if you can, and have a good evening.
:06:10. > :06:17.Good evening. Some of us had a pretty good soaking. It downpours
:06:18. > :06:22.around with thunder and lightning. It wasn't so bad everywhere. The
:06:23. > :06:26.satellite picture across the Midlands, East Anglia and the south
:06:27. > :06:33.coast, the Isle of Wight. A beautiful end to the day. You can
