:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, welcome to Monday's Look North.
:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight, could it be Newcastle's night?
:00:08. > :00:10.If they win this evening, they'll return to the Premier League,
:00:11. > :00:12.bouncing back at the first time of asking.
:00:13. > :00:18.Also tonight, cut red tape and speed up planning -
:00:19. > :00:23.one community's answer to the shortage of affordable homes.
:00:24. > :00:25.The teenage musician performing with some of the biggest
:00:26. > :00:38.MIMA is a gallery in Middlesbrough but what does it stand for?
:00:39. > :00:42.We've been quizzing the candidates for Tees Valley mayor on how much
:00:43. > :00:54.they know about the area they want to serve.
:00:55. > :00:56.It's a crucial 72 hours for north-east football.
:00:57. > :00:59.In just over three hours, Newcastle United could be promoted
:01:00. > :01:06.If they beat Preston tonight, they'll automatically go up -
:01:07. > :01:09.just a year after their relegation to the Championship.
:01:10. > :01:15.And then on Wednesday, both Middlesbrough and Sunderland
:01:16. > :01:18.will fight for their survival in the top flight
:01:19. > :01:20.Well, Jeff's outside St James' Park now.
:01:21. > :01:34.It certainly is. We expect things to be a bit more clear by late on
:01:35. > :01:39.Wednesday night and I expect one issue to be sorted later this
:01:40. > :01:44.evening here at Saint James's Park, just short of a year since Newcastle
:01:45. > :01:47.were relegated, 340 days since they knew they were slipping out of the
:01:48. > :01:50.Premier League into the championship, but now is the brink
:01:51. > :01:52.of a return, and what would that mean by the city itself?
:01:53. > :01:54.Could, just could Newcastle United's heartbreak of 12 months ago
:01:55. > :01:56.turn into celebrations in the next few hours?
:01:57. > :01:59.Promotion to the Premier League tonight would lead to plenty of very
:02:00. > :02:01.happy football fans, but more's riding on it than that,
:02:02. > :02:04.because if the club goes straight back up, there could be
:02:05. > :02:08.a substantial boost to the local economy.
:02:09. > :02:15.Swansea City, when they first went up in 2013, there was a study done
:02:16. > :02:17.and they found that the economic benefits for that city
:02:18. > :02:23.What the Premier League does is get a platform for global exposure.
:02:24. > :02:26.Newcastle United in the Premier League, it's going to be seen...
:02:27. > :02:29.People are going to see games at St James' Park
:02:30. > :02:31.and the Newcastle area in China, America, which are everywhere
:02:32. > :02:36.For other business leaders, it's not so much about football but footfall,
:02:37. > :02:39.because if Newcastle United make it into the top flight,
:02:40. > :02:43.visitors will spend longer in the city and spend more.
:02:44. > :02:48.The most tangible impact will be on Newcastle's hotels.
:02:49. > :02:50.We'll tend to get more overnight visits...
:02:51. > :02:52.And, of course, beneficiaries of that are Newcastle's
:02:53. > :02:57.But beyond that, I think what is perhaps immeasurable
:02:58. > :03:00.is actually the profile it will give this city in these
:03:01. > :03:07.But, for Sunderland and Middlesbrough, it seems
:03:08. > :03:10.an awful long way since those scenes of relief and triumph 12 months ago.
:03:11. > :03:12.Survival's still a possibility, of course, but it's looking
:03:13. > :03:14.increasingly unlikely for both teams.
:03:15. > :03:18.Relegation would have an economic impact too.
:03:19. > :03:22.The Premier League offers a massive opportunity for the local economy,
:03:23. > :03:28.and the small businesses but also the wider regions of those clubs.
:03:29. > :03:31.I think not having Premier League football is going to have a little
:03:32. > :03:36.Light at the end of the tunnel or cloud's on the horizon -
:03:37. > :03:39.we'll find out what it's to be for all our teams very soon.
:03:40. > :03:53.He joins me now. Good times ahead for Newcastle? Sunderland and
:03:54. > :03:58.Middlesbrough facing relegation and Hartlepool and York City and Berwick
:03:59. > :04:03.Rangers, Carlisle trying to get out of League 2. What impact and the
:04:04. > :04:08.football club's fortunes have? A lot, because it is a time of year
:04:09. > :04:11.where not only that bands get nervous but also businesses, because
:04:12. > :04:16.this matters in terms of the fate of the local economy. Carlisle United,
:04:17. > :04:21.personable, still not out of the picture for the league to... If they
:04:22. > :04:24.go up to League 1, they could face big teams who have come down from
:04:25. > :04:29.the championship, the likes of Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers
:04:30. > :04:36.and Wigan, all possible big-game receipts for Carlisle United. Also
:04:37. > :04:40.the wage bill, Deloitte, but came out last year saw the wage bill for
:04:41. > :04:44.a League 1 team on average is 50% higher than that in League 2, so
:04:45. > :04:51.that is more money swanning around. Very different story for some teams,
:04:52. > :04:54.Hartlepool, and dicing with relegation and out of the Football
:04:55. > :04:58.League into the National League... It is true they said that most teams
:04:59. > :05:02.in that league are full-time but playing smaller teams and smaller
:05:03. > :05:05.games with less money, spare a thought for York and Berwick as
:05:06. > :05:10.well, you're in the League 2 at the moment, National League, relegation
:05:11. > :05:14.would mean it would definitely be a team of part-timers.
:05:15. > :05:16.Thank you for that. Join me later on for Team Talk.
:05:17. > :05:19.Thank you, Jeff. For thousands of people living
:05:20. > :05:22.in rural parts of the region, buying their own house has become
:05:23. > :05:24.an unobtainable dream. Today, though, a pilot scheme's been
:05:25. > :05:26.launched in North Yorkshire Hambleton District Council wants
:05:27. > :05:30.to see more affordable houses built and has promised to help by cutting
:05:31. > :05:33.red tape and speeding up Rural north Yorkshire has long been
:05:34. > :05:40.a desirable place to live, but buying a house here
:05:41. > :05:44.is not that simple. There's not many for sale,
:05:45. > :05:47.and those that are are often Dan Scatchard and his partner,
:05:48. > :05:54.Caroline Nelson, are a first-time buyers who are keen to live in rural
:05:55. > :05:56.North Yorkshire. Affordable options, though,
:05:57. > :06:01.are few and far between. The only option would be to go
:06:02. > :06:08.into a count or city. Yeah, week after move further away
:06:09. > :06:12.to get the cheaper houses, but we don't want to move away
:06:13. > :06:15.from our area, because all In Hambleton, though, a large rural
:06:16. > :06:18.district in north Yorkshire, a pilot scheme has been launched
:06:19. > :06:21.to build more housing The scheme is being
:06:22. > :06:24.led by the council. In the market towns like Easingwold,
:06:25. > :06:27.it aims to speed up the planning process by matching potential buyers
:06:28. > :06:29.with landowners, small builders The council has also promised a more
:06:30. > :06:38.flexible approach to planning. That's good news for the Jacksons,
:06:39. > :06:42.whose plan to build their own home There's been lots of ideas
:06:43. > :06:49.and lots of words have been put into my head that we can possibly
:06:50. > :06:54.use to help the planning forwards. We feel that this is a way,
:06:55. > :06:57.by developing small sites, and it is something
:06:58. > :07:01.that is appropriate for village development,
:07:02. > :07:04.rather than large scale. By this time next year,
:07:05. > :07:09.it is hoped the pilot scheme will have made a difference,
:07:10. > :07:11.allowing people like Dan and Caroline to stay

:13:41. > :13:49.a product associated OK, Chris, well, you passed on six,
:13:50. > :13:57.so the gallery in Middlesbrough is Middlesbrough Institute of modern
:13:58. > :14:01.Art. The picture you passed on,
:14:02. > :14:05.that's Olympic rower Kat Copeland, who is from Teesside,
:14:06. > :14:09.gold medallist in 2012. You passed on which Teesside person
:14:10. > :14:12.had the X Factor in 2013... The Teesside dialect question,
:14:13. > :14:15.if you've got a keggy, It's a lump on the head or a black
:14:16. > :14:19.eye, I would have accepted, And the other one you passed
:14:20. > :14:25.on was the opening shot to which film directed
:14:26. > :14:27.by Ridley Scott, based reportedly on the skyline
:14:28. > :14:29.of ICI's Wilton complex, and it is Blade Runner,
:14:30. > :14:32.the sequel of which is coming I will give you a half
:14:33. > :14:36.mark for Hartlepool MP. And the Teesside landmark
:14:37. > :14:41.which could have been known as LemonTopped Tower
:14:42. > :14:42.or Mo's Lookout, names suggested by the public,
:14:43. > :14:52.it is the Redcar Beacon at the pier. You scored in the end three and a
:14:53. > :14:53.half points, with six passes. Thank you.
:14:54. > :14:59.With the heat off time for post-match analysis.
:15:00. > :15:04.That was awful. What a low score. I thoroughly enjoyed it but I am
:15:05. > :15:09.ashamed of the fact that I don't know some of the local words, and
:15:10. > :15:14.perhaps I should do. But I don't think it is necessary, in any case,
:15:15. > :15:19.but if necessary I can always have a translator.
:15:20. > :15:22.I'm not sure we have a winning score yet but remember this is just for
:15:23. > :15:28.fun and it might not be essential for a Tees Valley man to have
:15:29. > :15:32.encyclopaedic knowledge of 2013's X factor, but it won't stop splitting
:15:33. > :15:34.the other candidate, another candidate, the conservative, through
:15:35. > :15:37.the mayoral mastermind tomorrow. Time to go back to St James' Park
:15:38. > :15:40.now to rejoin Jeff - this time with Steve Harper
:15:41. > :15:44.for "TeamTalk" with a difference! We've been allowed out
:15:45. > :15:45.for the night, Carol, because it is a big occasion -
:15:46. > :15:48.the night when Newcastle United should confirm their place back
:15:49. > :15:51.in the Premier League. All they have to do is beat Preston
:15:52. > :15:54.North End, here at St James'. It's the one ray of light in what,
:15:55. > :15:57.otherwise, has been a pretty desperate season for the region,
:15:58. > :16:05.Steve? It has been. Middlesbrough and
:16:06. > :16:10.Sunderland struggling and Hartlepool and York, and even Berwick Rangers,
:16:11. > :16:13.so not good. And Carlisle as well, struggling for
:16:14. > :16:17.the play-offs. All doom and gloom with a bit of sunshine on May 15, at
:16:18. > :16:22.your minds back. Newcastle finishing off the season with a 5-1 win over
:16:23. > :16:27.Spurs, already relegated, but that hope that if they could keep hold of
:16:28. > :16:30.that it would get back up. 12 months on, every Newcastle ban
:16:31. > :16:34.would have taken that position at the title would have been the icing
:16:35. > :16:38.on the cake, promotion tonight... They need to get the job done.
:16:39. > :16:42.What happens next FA Cup? Do they get money to spend?
:16:43. > :16:46.Hopefully he backs him... Top manager, they have a top manager and
:16:47. > :16:49.he needs the money to be able to go back into the Premier League and
:16:50. > :16:52.compete, no one knows that more than him. Element will they finish the
:16:53. > :16:57.job tonight? I hope so. We can't take any more,
:16:58. > :17:01.can we? Looks like Brighton and former
:17:02. > :17:04.Magpies boss Chris Houston will pip Newcastle to the title.
:17:05. > :17:06.The first thing that I said was congratulations to them,
:17:07. > :17:09.to Chris and the team, because they did really well.
:17:10. > :17:11.And my target always was trying to go up,
:17:12. > :17:13.and trying to go up, and it doesn't matter
:17:14. > :17:16.for me the position, but the main thing is just to be
:17:17. > :17:30.Let's hope they can finish that job tonight.
:17:31. > :17:33.Chances are they won't be playing Middlesbrough next season!
:17:34. > :17:35.Boro winger Stewart Downing apologised to fans who made
:17:36. > :17:38.the 700-mile round trip to see them hammered 4-0 at Bournemouth.
:17:39. > :17:41.Boro now nine points from safety with five games left.
:17:42. > :17:43.They could be relegated as early as next Sunday.
:17:44. > :17:46.And it didn't help that they had to play most of the game
:17:47. > :17:59.Not good. 2-0 down after 16 minutes, Ramirez... It was dire, at 20
:18:00. > :18:02.minutes leaving the team-mates high and dry.
:18:03. > :18:05.16 games without a win and only one for all season, can you see a way
:18:06. > :18:09.out? If they beat Sunderland on Wednesday
:18:10. > :18:13.it gives them a better hope. Steve Agnew tried three centre halves,
:18:14. > :18:16.left them vulnerable in wide areas and it did not happen. They may
:18:17. > :18:20.change but it did not work on them sadly.
:18:21. > :18:25.Six games, two points from a possible 18... I just a shame it
:18:26. > :18:28.took Boro so long to get out of the place and they look like they're
:18:29. > :18:33.going back into the championship. Knocking on the door for many years
:18:34. > :18:37.and heading back down, but hopefully Sunderland can bounce back if they
:18:38. > :18:39.are to go in. Disappointment for Middlesbrough and
:18:40. > :18:45.again on Wednesday against Sunderland. Not an awful lot that
:18:46. > :18:48.might four or six weeks ago, one of the game is going to be, looked like
:18:49. > :18:50.a huge game, burning now looks like a dead runner.
:18:51. > :18:53.As we said, away from Tyneside, there hasn't been too much to smile
:18:54. > :18:55.about for any of our full-time clubs, especially Hartlepool United.
:18:56. > :18:57.Today they sacked manager Dave Jones, with Pools
:18:58. > :19:00.in danger of dropping out of the Football League for the first
:19:01. > :19:04.His surprise appointment was enough to capture the attention
:19:05. > :19:07.of national football writers, but could ex-Premier League boss
:19:08. > :19:10.Dave Jones prevent Hartlepool United dropping out of the Football League
:19:11. > :19:14.Saturday's home defeat by Barnet, which saw Pools drop

:20:37. > :20:39.They always say the football season is a marathon, not a sprint.
:20:40. > :20:42.But let's talk real marathons now, and two of the region's great

:22:02. > :22:05.Something cold, that's for sure. Springtime but the weather taking a
:22:06. > :22:11.bit of convincing at the minute. Look at today's weather pictures,
:22:12. > :22:14.lovely spring sunshine in Cumbria. Margaret's photograph, but further
:22:15. > :22:19.ease the showery clouds looked gloomy over this beach. Thank you,
:22:20. > :22:23.Neil. Over the next couple of days, most of us catching wintry April
:22:24. > :22:27.showers, and it will feel bitterly cold. You could hear the wind
:22:28. > :22:31.blowing when Jeff and Steve Waugh outdoors. Frosty nights as well. A
:22:32. > :22:36.fair few showers around today, and more to come through the evening and
:22:37. > :22:41.night. Most in eastern areas, some sleet and so are amongst them, could
:22:42. > :22:43.give a light covering in places. By the West, drier and clearer and
:22:44. > :22:48.colder. Temperatures around freezing for many of us to the night. And in
:22:49. > :22:53.the north to north-westerly wind, it will feel bitterly cold or feel way
:22:54. > :22:58.colder than those numbers might suggest. Tomorrow, some sunshine,
:22:59. > :23:04.yes, some rashers of showers. Probably most widespread in eastern
:23:05. > :23:09.areas. Rain and sleet and hells no, and some hail and thunder amongst
:23:10. > :23:12.them. The showers scattered further west, and hanging onto more
:23:13. > :23:15.brightness and you will see the higher afternoon temperatures there.
:23:16. > :23:20.Height in the West, 10 Celsius, and further ease making them six or
:23:21. > :23:25.seven Celsius lucky. And with that cold northerly wind, it will feel
:23:26. > :23:28.raw if you're out and about. There will be some sunshine and clear
:23:29. > :23:32.spells of the night, another cold night to come tomorrow night, and
:23:33. > :23:34.showers continuing on and off, even though we have high pressure into
:23:35. > :23:39.the West. Through the next few days... The weather system coming
:23:40. > :23:43.round the high, beats them up later in the week. It will start to lose
:23:44. > :23:46.the northerly wind by the end of the week, interpreters will slowly start
:23:47. > :23:52.to recover as we head towards the weekend. Wintry and sleety showers
:23:53. > :23:56.for many of us tomorrow, Wednesday the showers fewer and further
:23:57. > :23:59.between, but still one or two. Thursday and Friday, you will notice
:24:00. > :24:04.those temperatures slowly start to pick up, and western areas picking
:24:05. > :24:08.up to 12 or 13 Celsius. Just about making it into double figures
:24:09. > :24:11.further east, with showers staying widespread. That is the way it looks
:24:12. > :24:15.as we head towards the weekend. On Monday night, so we will have a
:24:16. > :24:19.cause a look at the weather for the week ahead on tonight's late Look

:25:28. > :25:29.of the East Coast Mainline That's very significant,
:25:30. > :25:35.and I don't think you've had four trains running together like this
:25:36. > :25:49.since probably before the war. I've come in from
:25:50. > :25:51.Stoke Newington Hackney. On Friday evening I was listening

:26:58. > :27:02.the character of our country, times when people stand up
:27:03. > :27:12.and demand real, significant change. we have the chance to shape
:27:13. > :27:17.a brighter future for Britain
