08/05/2017 Look North (North East and Cumbria)

Hello, good evening. for the news where you are.

Middlesbrough's stay in football's Premier League is over.

They were beaten 3-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight and can't

Stuart Whincup is in London for us, and it was a tall order, Stuart.

In truth, Middlesbrough were completely outplayed. They hang when

in 42 years and there was never a point when that looked like it was

to change. Here are the goals that sent Middlesbrough down. The ball

came in from Fabregas for the cost to score, ten minute later the same

thing happened again. A boil over the top, and this time it was Alonzo

who put the ball in. It could've been a cricket score. Midway through

the second half Chelsea made it three. At the full-time whistle we

caught up with a few Middlesbrough fans and got their reaction.

Shocking, really, but we didn't deserve anything better all season.

That's where from, you know, we'll support them.

Obviously seven years in the Championship before, tough

times, but hopefully we'll bounce back.

Always with Steve Gibson - up the Boro!

So, Middlesbrough relegated to the championship, but till two games

remaining. We'll have more tomorrow. Hartlepool United are also facing

up to a future outside the Football League after relegation

at the weekend. Newcastle United are celebrating

after winning the Championship title and Carlisle United

are into the League two promotion play-offs,

as Andrew Hartley reports. Dramatic endings with such

different outcomes. After 96 years, Hartlepool United

are out of the FootballLeague. After 96 years, Hartlepool United

are out of the Football League. I feel terrible, but life

goes on, doesn't it? I hope they can bounce

back next year. They say it's best to have

a football club in the league at the moment, isn't it, because it

helps the town, boost the economy That's something else

we've lost now, isn't it? Meanwhile, this afternoon,

the club put season tickets on sale for the next campaign,

when they will be in facing fixtures against the likes

of Gateshead and Guiseley. But there are huge

question marks over the club's immediate future

after Gary Coxall, the man who owns half

of the club, stood down

as chairman last week. What worries me more is

the direction off the pitch, because there are too many bad decisions

being made at Hartlepool in the last year or two, which has

resulted in the team where it was on Saturday

at Meanwhile at St James' Park,

euphoria mixed with disbelief. That is by far the best game

of the season, and to snatch Never experienced that

since the Fairs Cup years. Newcastle are champions

of the championship, thanks to an unexpected late

equaliser from ten man Aston Villa And here's the real trophy, making

a star appearance on look North And here's the real trophy, making

a star appearance on Look North In the two, Carlisle United

are in the promotion play-offs, after a three to win

at Exeter on Saturday. We should have got promoted

but I'm delighted. With a knockout,

really, from now on. You know, it's a sprint now,

it's not a marathon. The first hurdle,

a two-legged semifinal, again Northumberland Conservatives have

vowed to cancel a multi-million pound scheme to move the council's

headquarters from Labour say their proposals

would have saved money in the long But the Tories have now replaced

Labour as the biggest Our political correspondent

Luke Walton reports. It was hailed by Labour as a plan

for jobs, investment and efficiency. The idea to build this

new Northumberland Council HQ in Ashington, while replacing

the council's current offices in Morpeth with 200 houses,

a retail park and a school. Residents weren't impressed,

dubbing the scheme a waste of taxpayers cash that would cause

congestion and damage Their anger spilt out not only

in demonstrations but also, Local Conservatives say the issue

was a key reason why they replaced Labour as the biggest party

in Thursday's elections. We're going to deliver on our

promises, on all of our promises, So, the county council

is going to stay in Morpeth and we're going to stay in County

Hall. So,instead of knocking them down,

the Tory plan is to refurbish the 35-year-old offices at a cost

of ?7-8 million. Campaigners see it as a reprieve

for open space behind the building. There was a lot of frustration

and anger at the way the plans were going and I think this has come

through in the elections in the way Labour councillors turned

down our request for an interview, but with work already started

on what was going to be the new County Hall,

there are bound to be fears of creating a white

elephant in Ashington - a suggestion denied by

Conservatives. It was actually the previous Labour

administration that was creating a white elephant by by just moving

900 jobs from one town to another and not creating

anything new at all. There's a really exciting

opportunity in Ashington with the council having control

of that site that is so central to the town and we're going to make

sure that it's the start A multi-million pound

plan apparently put Even so, the long-running saga

of Northumberland's County Hall may A primary school in Hartlepool

has suffered serious The blaze broke out

at Rift House school last night. Classes remained open

for Year Six pupils only. The newly elected Mayor

of Tees Valley has officially Conservative Ben Houchen beat

the Labour candidate with a majority of 2,000,

in last Thursday's election. Now, of all the places you might

hear about with a shortage of rain, Seathwaite in the Lake District

isn't one of them. Britain's wettest village normally

gets between two and three metres of rain a year,

but it's been so dry lately, This year, life has been a little

bit easier for sheep farmer Pete It's the driest spell

I've known over a period of our lambing

time at Seathwaite. Normally, get some

really wet weather. This year has been absolutely

brilliant, getting the lambs on the ground,

and they've never had a wet day. You could imagine this

at the height of a long, hot summer, say in July

or August, but this is only early May and the only evidence

of the Derwent, which runs through,

statistically, Great Britain's wettest place, is its

dried out riverbed. There doesn't appear

to be a drop on this long stretch of the river, stones

baking in the spring sunshine. It makes my job so much

easier when I have to get up in the morning

and the people are just wowed by the view from

hotel, rather than having to think, "Oh, my God, it's raining.

We're going to have to put our waterproofs on.

And it's not just Cumbria - this is the River Tyne at

Corbridge and this is Yockenthwaite in North Yorkshire.

The levels may be low, but we're told there is no need to

So how long will that trend carry on?

We can at least look forward a few days ahead..

It's been dry but not always warm, Paul...

Weather was amount of temperatures today Jerry. As we had through the

week ahead we will certainly start off with fine dry and largely sunny

weather but it will turn a little bit unsettled as we head towards the

weekend. Overnight tonight, it is bone dry again. Store that East-West

split, a lot of cloud in eastern areas clear aside in the West. Where

we've had the highest averages in the day, that's where will have the

lowest temperatures at night. The group and a few spots cold enough

for a touch of ground frost. Tomorrow a dry day, there will be

some cloud, but it will tend to break up and even eastern areas that

should see some sunshine breaking should see some sunshine breaking

through. We will lose that called north-easterly wind, with light and

variable indirection tomorrow so, many of us seeing double-figure

temperatures. 13th- Celsius -- 13 - 14 Celsius. Patchy cloud in the

afternoon, a south-westerly breeze by that time, so not quite as Chile

as we head into Wednesday morning. It's looking about five to 6 degrees

in those places. Some decent sunny spells, temperatures should make it

into double figures in most places. Where you get the breeze might

struggle bit but 15 degrees inland will feel quite pleasant. A very

slack weather situation through the middle part of the weight -- week,

as we head towards the end of the week that will bring the frontal

system which will bring cloud, some rain as well for some of us by the

end of the week. So, Fred Thursday, it stays mostly dry, we got that

South easterly breeze perhaps a shade colour on the east coast and

is inland. Western part seen the best of the temperatures, Cumbria

getting 64 Fahrenheit, 18 Celsius. A lot more cloud around on Friday,

spreading Saint Sharyat breaks of rain, some of it could be heavy, --

spreading showers Sharyat breaks of rain. Keep up with the local

forecast the new BBC radio station. Here comes the

with some sunshine and showers, it will become drier and feel warm. Now

the National forecast. Good evening. A quiet day on the

weather front but we still managed to have some huge contrasts in the

weather. This was a beautiful picture from Cumbria, blue skies and

crystal clear blue skies in Argyll and Bute but closer to the north

coast, it sends shivers down your spine! Chilly and cloudy all along

that cost this bank of cloud that sliced the country in half, cool and

cloudy to the east and to the West had sunshine. But it still been dry

and it will stay that way for most of the week. As we get into Friday,

there is some rain on the way. In the short-term, not much happening

in the next few hours, quite a bit of cloud in most of England and

Wales but many northern and western parts, the stars are out.

Temperatures not too low, six or 7
