:01:02. > :01:04.wasted on Easter because it is a special anniversary and there are a
:01:05. > :01:10.lot more years to come for this event. The first woman home was
:01:11. > :01:17.Debbie Appleton from Essex. A good atmosphere, good fun and a beautiful
:01:18. > :01:28.view across the sea, so really nice. This challenging coastal route
:01:29. > :01:37.ends at Saint Mary 's Lighthouse. I am ready for the chocolate. And the
:01:38. > :01:43.bacon sandwiches. A really cold day. Lunch, a bit of wine, an Easter egg
:01:44. > :01:48.and time with the family. When we started ten years ago we had 50
:01:49. > :01:53.runners, but now we have got 20 0 runners. We know it is a social

:02:01. > :02:06.Organisers hope the race will keep on running for decades to come. The
:02:07. > :02:09.Bishop of Durham has led his first Easter Day service since behng
:02:10. > :02:12.enthroned. The Right Reverend Paul Butler, took a dawn service of

:02:49. > :02:53.It is the sixth best beach hn Great Britain and is really popul`r no
:02:54. > :02:58.matter what the weather. People are always down here and it is ` popular
:02:59. > :03:02.surfing beach. It is import`nt to have lifeguards down here preventing
:03:03. > :03:05.any possible risks to the ptblic. Football and who would have thought
:03:06. > :03:09.it? There is new hope among Sunderland fans that the Bl`ck Cats
:03:10. > :03:11.may yet escape relegation this season following their victory over
:03:12. > :03:14.Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday. The win leaves Stnderland
:03:15. > :03:18.still at the bottom of the table, but within three points of loving
:03:19. > :03:24.out of the relegation zone. Damian O'Neil reports. What a diffdrence a
:03:25. > :03:27.football match can make. For weeks Sunderland have been staring into
:03:28. > :03:29.the abyss with relegation looking increasingly certain, but this
:03:30. > :03:36.stunning away win at Chelse` has brought a fresh sense of urgency to
:03:37. > :03:39.the final games of the season. It comes after the Black Cats held
:03:40. > :03:43.title chasers Manchester City to a 2`2 draw just four days previously
:03:44. > :03:48.and after manager Gus Poyet said they needed a miracle. Connor
:03:49. > :03:51.Wickham equalised for Sunderland in the 18th minute after Chelsda opened
:03:52. > :03:54.the scoring and after sever`l chances for Chelsea Sunderl`nd were
:03:55. > :04:00.given a penalty when Jozy Altidore was fouled. Fabio Borini didn't
:04:01. > :04:03.waste the opportunity, inflhcting Jose Mourinho's first home Premier
:04:04. > :04:11.league defeat in 78 games as Chelsea manager. Sunderland are not out of
:04:12. > :04:17.trouble yet, but the impact of this victory on their chances of survival
:04:18. > :04:20.can't be underestimated. Meanwhile Newcastle have now lost
:04:21. > :04:26.five Premier League games in a row for the first time. They were beaten
:04:27. > :04:29.2`1 at home by Swansea yestdrday. Shola Ameobi gave the Magpids the
:04:30. > :04:32.lead, but Wilfried Bony scored twice for the visitors with the whnning
:04:33. > :04:39.goal coming from the penaltx spot in injury time. It was the last game of
:04:40. > :04:42.Alan Pardew's touchline ban. To rugby union and in the
:04:43. > :04:47.premiership Newcastle Falcons lost 23`18 to league leaders Sar`cens at
:04:48. > :04:52.Kingston Park. With two gamds to go the Falcons are still not s`fe from
:04:53. > :04:53.relegation. Let's have a look at the region's weather prospects for bank
:04:54. > :05:06.holiday Monday with Kate Crdwdson. Into tonight it is going to turn

:05:37. > :05:42.tomorrow. Elsewhere it is v`riable and there will be some bright and
:05:43. > :05:49.sunny spells. I risk of a fdw showers on the post later on in the
:05:50. > :05:53.afternoon. In the West it gdts up to around 16 or 17. That is it so fired
:05:54. > :05:59.this Easter Sunday. There is more detail on our news
:06:00. > :06:08.website. I will have our late update at 10:15pm. Good evening.

:06:37. > :06:40.A few showers across northern England and into Northern Ireland
:06:41. > :06:44.for a time. Otherwise it looks like staying largely dry. A mild night as

:06:49. > :06:53.seeing temperatures dipping away under clearer skies. A cloudy start
:06:54. > :06:59.for many of us tomorrow. The sun will break through every now and
:07:00. > :07:02.then. Areas bordering the Irish Sea looking good as well. You will
:07:03. > :07:08.notice showers developing further south. As we go into the afternoon,
