Good evening. The Easter Bank That's it. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Good evening. The Easter Bank Holiday is considered the | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
traditional start to the tourist season in a vital industry for our | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
region. And one Northumberland seaside town has had the equivalent | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
of three weeks' worth of visitors ` in just three days ` as Julie Smith | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
has been finding out. It may have been forgotten in the | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
1980s but Newbiggin`by`the`Sea is determined to restore itself on the | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
tourism map. And this weekend the Maritime Centre put on a two day | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
kite festival that brought a flying start to the tourism season. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Three weeks' worth of visitors in just three days. | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
We've had a fantastic total, over 1500 people through the doors. The | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
car park has been filled every day, crowds on the beach and the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
promenade. The more people that come to visit us, the more everyone | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
benefits. A short walk away is the town's | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
original ice cream parlour. It's been in the family of the current | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
owner, Frank Bertorelli, since the 1930s. Frank Bertorelli has spent | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
six years restoring it. Now we have sea defences, art | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
sculptures, cafes all over. What more can you ask for? People come to | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the beach, walk their dogs, relax, have a coffee or an ice cream. It's | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
all on the up at Newbiggin. Believing in the town's tourism, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Frank spent six years restoring the cafe. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
We've been busy and quiet, today has just ticked over, but yesterday and | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
the day before where hectic. An encouraging start to the tourist | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
season for this Northumberland seaside town. | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
Meanwhile visitor numbers in the Yorkshire Dales are between two and | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
three times higher than last year. The Director of Park Services for | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority thinks the rise is down to | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
the Tour De France coming to the region in July. It's hoped the Grand | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Depart will put Yorkshire firmly on the world map and leave a lasting | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
legacy. Nearly 1500 cases of abuse of | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
vulnerable adults were recorded in Cumbria last year according to new | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
figures. The Cumbria Adults Safeguarding Board says there are | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
likely to be more that go unreported. Now a new campaign will | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
be launched to encourage more people to speak out if they think a | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
vulnerable adult is being abused. A unique artistic performance is | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
taking place at Durham Cathedral tonight, in which percussion is | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
combined with live painting, with the results projected onto the | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
architecture of the Cathedral. Animotion is the work of Russian | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
artist Maria Rud, and Percussion Virtuoso Dame Evelyn Glennie ` who | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
is profoundly deaf. A fusion of music and art. Animotion | :02:43. | :02:56. | |
sees Maria Rud painting her interpretation of what she sees, | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
hears and feels from her musical accompaniment. Modern technology | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
means her work can be projected live onto the walls of the venue. Dame | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Evelyn Glennie says the performance is partly rehearsed but with room | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
left for inspiration. We choose certain pieces of music | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
and Maria would practice with those. She would think about the concept of | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
the paintings. We have improvised sections as well. It is quite | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
extraordinary because you never know what is going to happen visually or | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
indeed aurally. That combination is really important. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
For artist Maria Rud, the environment in which the performance | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
is carried out is just as important as the material itself. And emotion | :03:47. | :03:58. | |
is inseparable from architecture. It is a response to architecture and | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
music. Architecture has a rhythm, just as music does. If you come | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
tonight, you could probably see our interpretation of the cathedral. It | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
is difficult to explain. Animotion begins tonight at 8.30pm | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
and there are tickets available on the door. | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
A Dutch naval submarine has sailed out `of the Port of Tyne. The 68 | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
metre`long sub spent the past four days at the Northumbrian Quay in | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
North Shields. HNL`MS Walrus is the first submarine to visit the Quay in | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
ten years. If you have ever tried to cater for | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
a fussy eater ` then you'll sympathise with folk ` at the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
International Centre for Birds of Prey ` in Helmsley in North | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Yorkshire. They're trying to tempt a sea bird to eat fish. At first, | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Inowashi, a rare Steller's sea eagle, would only eat chicken. Now | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
she's turning her beak up at that and only eating rats. So a local | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
fish and chip shop has been drafted in to supply her with prime raw cod | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
fillets ` and they seem to be working. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
She has proved rather a challenge to feed, this bird. To start with, he | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
used to eat the same date as the rest of the birds here, which is all | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
based on chicken. Then one day she decided she never wanted to eat a | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
piece of chicken ever again. Then we find out she's rather keen on eating | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
rats! Some Bank Holiday Football League | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
results to bring you. In League One, Carlisle are deeper | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
in relegation trouble tonight, after a 4`1 defeat at Peterborough. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
In League Two, Hartlepool also flirting with the drop, slashed | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
ticket prices to a fiver for today's game with Morecambe and fans were | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
rewarded with a precious 2`1 win. York meanwhile got a tighter grip on | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
that last playoff place, beating Bury 1`0. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
And in the Conference, Gateshead are almost in the playoffs themselves | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
after their 2`0 win at Macclesfield. Cricket ` and on Day Two of the | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
County Championship games at Chester le Street, Durham ticking along | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
nicely, having dismissed Somerset for 185, the home side are now 123 | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
for four intheir second innings. And Yorkshire also at home, having | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
declared on 459 against Northants, they bowled out the visitors today | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
for 94. Good evening. For most, it has been | :06:10. | :06:22. | |
an absolutely beautiful bank holiday Monday. But things are slowly going | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
downhill overnight. Some cloud and fog coming in. Low temperatures of | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
seven degrees. Tuesday will be a cloudy day, with outbreaks of rain | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
spreading up from the South East. Some heavy rain. A little drier and | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
brighter later. The best temperatures across Cumbria, 14 or | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
15 Celsius. And I'll be back with our late | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
update tonight at around 10:15pm. Bye for now. | :06:56. | :07:03. |
