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.
