Good Evening. Two important Chinese artefacts worth almost �1.8 million | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
have been stolen in Durham. They were taken from the university's | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Oriental Museum in the city last night. Richard Thomas reports. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
This is one of the two artefacts that were taken. A large green jade | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
bowl, dating from 1769. It has a Chinese poem written inside. A | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
cream Dehua porcelain sculpture with a white glaze was also stolen. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Both items were from the Qing Dynasty - the last imperial dynasty | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
in China. And this is where the break-in took place. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
The Oriental Museum here in Durham between 10 and 10.40 last night. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
The artefacts were being housed in a cabinet in the Malcolm MacDonald | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
Gallery on the ground floor. Do you think they knew what they were | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
looking for? It is very early stages and the investigation but | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
there is a possibility these people had a clear idea what they were | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
looking for. They have taken the items of more significant value. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
�1.8 million is a huge value. are quite distinctive items which | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
would be of huge value to a collector. We would like to trace | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
the men who were seen acting suspiciously inside the museum | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
yesterday. In particular, two males of Afro-Caribbean descent and one | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
might Mail who were seen to be taking particular interest. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Both pieces are said to be priceless and fine examples from | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the period and the university is hoping they'll soon be returned. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
The museum will remain closed until further notice while the police | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
carry out investigations. People in more than 300 homes on | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
the North York Moors are still without electricity, following this | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
week's severe weather. 150 engineers are out fixing the faults | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
for Northern Powergrid. They hope that by midnight, there'll be just | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
70 customers without power and that all of them will be back on | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
tomorrow. People off the grid for more than 24 hours will be | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
compensated. A 19-year-old woman has died after | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
she was hit by a taxi on Teesside. It happened just before 5am this | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
morning on the coast road between Redcar and Marske. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
The family of a man who's in a coma after being assaulted in York are | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
being urged to come forward. Stephen Eastwood has been | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
unconscious in York District Hospital since being found with | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
serious head injuries. He'd been attacked with a hammer on Lawrence | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Street on 27th March. No-one's been to visit him in hospital, and the | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
police are appealing for help finding his family. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
The world's rarest duck has managed to breed successfully in captivity | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
thanks to the help of a Washington man who spent months hand rearing | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
ducklings in his hotel room. It was part of a project to save the | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
species, led by two wildlife trusts. Adele Robinson reports. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
This is the man who hatched 23 x and hand-reared the heiress | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
ducklings and the world. His day job - working at the Washington let | :03:12. | :03:17. | |

Madagascar, he made history. would wake up in the morning | :03:23. | :03:32. | |

have half the world's population of endangered noise -- ducks here. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
in day out, he monitored the ducklings. The population of the | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
rheostat in the world more than doubled. At great sense of pride | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
but also about of comedy at the same time. It was ridiculous, but | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
we pulled it off. They have been declared extinct twice and we are | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
about to be again before a small group were found by chance on a | :04:05. | :04:15. | |

lake. In 2009, own started his work. It was a great privilege. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
biggest challenge - with the breed in captivity? Their success story | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
means the newly hatched ducklings bring the world population to just | :04:25. | :04:35. | |

holiday weekend. It's due to be the busiest weekend of the year so far | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
with around 410 flights scheduled to arrive and depart over the four | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
days. Football now, and in League One | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
there were 1-1 draws for Carlisle United at Wycombe and Hartlepool | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
United at Colchester. The big game of the day was Newcastle's away | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
trip to Swansea. Success meant they move up to fifth, just two points | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
off a Champions League place. Keith Akehurst reports. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Newcastle got off to the best possible start. Yohane Cabaye's | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
superb pass found Papiss Cisse who scored his eighth goal in eight | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
games. Swansea had the lion's share of the possession in the first half | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
but United kept them to the middle of the pitch. Just one shot for Tim | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Krul to save from Sigurdsson. The second period was very much like | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
the first. Swansea piled on the pressure. A poor clearance from | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Ryan Taylor, brought another shot from Sigurdsson. But once again | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Krul kept the ball out. And then in the 69th minute another Cabaye pass | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
found Cisse, who somehow makes the almost impossible look easy. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Technique very few players could execute. Then nine minutes before | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the end Cisse might have got a hat- trick when he almost capitalised on | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
a poor back pass. Newcastle win their fourth consecutive match for | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
the first time since 2006. The final score: Swansea City nil, | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Newcastle United two. A Cumbrian tourist attraction is in | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
line to win the country's Best Tourism Experience award. The Via | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Ferrata, a climbing path among the crags at the Honister Slate Mine, | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
has been shortlisted in the Enjoy England awards. The winner will be | :06:20. | :06:24. | |

Good evening. The Easter weekend on the whole looks to be a fairly | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
cloudy affair. Most of us will see some rain at times. A lot of cloud | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
around through the evening and overnight. Poor visibility up in | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
the high ground. Any breaks in the ground could allow the temperatures | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
to dip to as well as to Celsius. A bit chilly first thing. A little | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
bit of brightness here and there with a mostly dry start to the day. | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
A lot of cloud around through the afternoon in most places should | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
stay dry through Saturday. As far as temperatures go, on the cool | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
side. For Easter Sunday itself, rain in the East clears away and | :07:14. | :07:19. |
