life changing experience. The question is whether the Games will

deliver a lasting change to Good evening. An East Yorkshire MP

is asking the government for more than ?200 million to improve flood

defences around the Humber. 1,100 homes in the area were flooded

during the tidal surge in December. The MP for Haltemprice and Howden,

David Davis, is lobbying the government to provide money for work

on the defences. Kate Sweeting reports.

For John and Liz Kirk from Yokefleet in East Yorkshire, this caravan is

now home. Now after 11 weeks, it is just really depressing now and it

gets you down after all this time. 1,100 homes in the Humber area were

flooded during December's tidal surge. Now with predictions that

extreme weather will become more common there are calls for the East

Coast to be better protected. We are the second highest flood risk in the

country. That is going to get worse as sea levels go up, then we are

going to get more and more risks like this and we have to do

something about it. The plan is to raise the height of parts of the

river bank which protect thousands of homes from flooding but which

were overtopped during December's tidal surge. There are also plans to

create water holding areas and to remove some flood defences to allow

some areas to flood. This has already been done in Aukbrough,

Paull and Donna Nook, albeit amid controversy, as many did not want to

see that land lost. All of this work would cost more than ?200 million,

money which would largely have to come from the government. It's a big

project. We're looking forward 20 years from now. It's a very

important area, very valuable assets and so it's right to invest a large

amount of money in such an important area.

If it's not done all this land will be reclaimed. Nature will just take

its own back again, won't it? Unless you fight it.

Liz and John hope to stay in this village for the rest of their lives,

and it's hoped if this work is carried out, it will also be saved

for future generations. People living in Grimsby have met

tonight to talk about the planned new series of Skint which could be

filmed in the town. People on the Nunsthorpe estate expressed their

worries about the programme which shows how people survive without

being employed. More than 800 people have signed a petition calling for

filming to cease. Gemma Dawson reports.

Ah, Scunthorpe... This TV show was watched by millions. Scunny is

perhaps best known for the steelworks. Or what's left of 'em.

Skint was based on life on this Scunthorpe estate, but the Channel 4

show proved to be controversial. Tonight people in Grimsby have

attended a public meeting concerned it could be the featured town in the

next series. People here are very proud of their town. We don't really

want that to be hit by a negative programme. The fact that we're

joining together shows that it's no longer down to big decision makers,

it's down to the people, the people's power. It showed that

people are very concerned and they care about their town. We don't want

to be vilified in this way. I'm going home feeling very positive.

There's a huge number of people and everyone with one voice. Loads of

creativity, lots of ideas and a desire to carry this forward. This

is a group that's united and I think that's unstoppable. Channel 4 didn't

attend tonight's meeting because it says it offered to meet organisers

in person as part of a wider consultation process which has

involved community organisations and over 100 residents. But test filming

has already taken place on the East Marsh estate and the Nunsthorpe area

of Grimsby. People need to know the conditions in which people in this

country, which the Prime Minister himself has now admitted is a

wealthy country. The conditions some people have to live in, they need to

see it and know it. If they see it as entertainment then that's their

problem. Channel 4 says it can't definitely confirm the final

location of the next series yet. But many at tonight's public meeting are

hoping it won't be here. Lincolnshire's Police and Crime

Commissioner has apologised to the chief constable he suspended last

year. Neil Rhodes was subsequently reinstated by a High Court judge.

Alan Hardwick says his apology is sincere and unreserved. But he says

his intention was to act appropriately.

The last two remaining flying Lancaster bombers are to fly

together in Lincolnshire. A bomber from Canada will arrive at RAF

Coningsby in August. It'll fly alongside the Lancaster from the

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Last year was the 70th anniversary

of the Dambusters raids. Hull City are into the quarterfinals

of the FA Cup after a 2`1 win over Brighton at the KC Stadium tonight.

Two first half goals were enough to give the Tigers the win. Simon Clark

was at the game. Do City have a real chance in this competition now?

They have never won this competition but what an opportunity this season

presents now they are in the quarterfinals. Let me show you how

they got there. First up this from Curtis Davies. Soon after it was to

win this free kick `` free kick took a deflection from Robert Koren. They

spurned and opportunity to increase before Brighton at themselves their

goal. The Tigers held on for a two to one victory. This is what the

fans thought. They made hard work of tonight but at least we're through.

It is absolutely fabulous, I love it, me. I'm thrilled, can't wait for

Sunderland. We've done the double over them, three times will be good

for me. It was very very scary the last ten minutes but absolutely

brilliant. Absolutely brilliant, Sunderland, crack on. Hull City have

only been in the quarterfinals six times. They have only gone beyond

that, 1913 into the semifinals. And if they are in the semifinals this

year it is at Wembley Stadium. The quarterfinal date, the second week

in March. It is turning wetter and windier. Rain spreading in from the

west. The rain tending to clear towards morning. A mild night and

temperatures down to six or seven degrees. The cloud will break up

quite nicely tomorrow and it will get brighter sickly. A decent day,

dry and bright. The risk of the odd shower and not until later on. The

breeze will be quite gusty and now eased out later. Not quite as mild

as today, but at 212 degrees. It will be more like 10 degrees.

Another decent day on Wednesday, bright and easy. Rain into Thursday.

We're back tomorrow at 6:25am with the breakfast bulletins. We hope you

can join us then. Goodbye for now. Good evening. We have a spell of wet

and windy weather working across the British Isles. Today brought many of

us some decent spells of sunshine and it brought us some decent

temperatures. In fact, our warmest day of the year so far.

At the moment, though, things have changed. This is the gap in the

satellite picture. Now, this curl of cloud looks like a snail's shell, it

is an area of low pressure that is sweeping wind and rain across us.

It's pushed into the west already and is now making rapid progress

eastwards, moving into eastern England through the small
