:00:00. > :00:07.tomorrow. That's it.
:00:08. > :00:11.Good evening. The Environment Agency has begun pumping hundreds of
:00:12. > :00:14.thousands of tonnes of sand onto Lincolnshire's beaches to help shore
:00:15. > :00:17.up flood defences along the coast, work it says is vital to help
:00:18. > :00:20.protect communities. Although beaches are replenished annually,
:00:21. > :00:23.this year more sand is needed after December's tidal surge which
:00:24. > :00:30.stripped a large quantity from the county's coastline. Jake Zuckerman
:00:31. > :00:33.reports. For 20 years now, Lincolnshire's
:00:34. > :00:37.beaches have undergone annual repair and restoration. Sand dredged from
:00:38. > :00:42.the sea bed is pumped onshore to replace that which the sea has
:00:43. > :00:46.washed away. Without the scheme, the beach here would be reduced to bare
:00:47. > :00:49.clay. As well as making the beaches more attractive for visitors, the
:00:50. > :01:00.sand helps protect sea defences, absorbing the power of the ocean.
:01:01. > :01:08.And on and on the beach because it reduces the wave energy so also
:01:09. > :01:12.reduces the erosion of the sea. It offers protection to 30,000
:01:13. > :01:15.properties and 30,000 hectares of agricultural land. This year the
:01:16. > :01:18.beach replenishment will cost ?8.4 million, almost ?2.5 million more
:01:19. > :01:26.than normal, thanks to damage caused by December's tidal surge. It shows
:01:27. > :01:30.just how vital the beach replenishment scheme is when it
:01:31. > :01:34.comes to protecting coastal communities from flooding and this
:01:35. > :01:40.year of the scheme will see 520,000 cubic metres of sand pumped onto
:01:41. > :01:42.their stretch of beach between Mablethorpe and Skegness. Here in
:01:43. > :01:51.Mablethorpe, businesses like this one say it's vital for tourism. We
:01:52. > :01:55.have got a fabulous beach. If we have not got the beach for people to
:01:56. > :01:59.travel on, Mablethorpe would be dead. It is the only reason for
:02:00. > :02:01.people to come here. On Lincolnshire's East coast, thousands
:02:02. > :02:05.of homes, businesses and caravans are at risk of flooding. Beach
:02:06. > :02:09.restoration is an important part of the solution. Jake Zuckerman, BBC
:02:10. > :02:12.Look North, Mablethorpe. A second person has died following a
:02:13. > :02:17.crash in Lincolnshire on Good Friday. The 16`year`old boy from
:02:18. > :02:24.Lincoln was killed when two cars and a van collided on the A1104 at
:02:25. > :02:27.Saleby Near Alford. A 70`year`old woman also died in the crash, and
:02:28. > :02:38.six people remain in hospital with serious injuries ` among them is an
:02:39. > :02:42.11`year`old boy. This was a large`scale incident and
:02:43. > :02:48.it required a coordinated approach with emergency services involving
:02:49. > :02:52.five Ian ambulances. `` Ian ambulances. It was flagged by many
:02:53. > :02:55.as a dress rehearsal for Hull City's FA Cup final match against Arsenal
:02:56. > :02:58.in May. But this afternoon's Premier League
:02:59. > :03:01.3`0 defeat has left Steve Bruce rueing missed chances and Tigers
:03:02. > :03:09.fans hoping they can turn their fortunes around next time the two
:03:10. > :03:12.sides meet. They are now hoping they can turn their fortunes around.
:03:13. > :03:16.A game touted as a preview to next month's FA Cup final, the Tigers
:03:17. > :03:19.will be hoping for better fortune come the 17th of May though. The
:03:20. > :03:21.advertising boards took centre stage causing a delay, but despite the
:03:22. > :03:25.disruption Hull started well pressing Arsenal high up the pitch
:03:26. > :03:30.and almost getting their reward with this Nikica Jelavic chance. But 31
:03:31. > :03:33.minutes into the match and the Gunners asserted their dominance,
:03:34. > :03:38.picking City's defence apart and allowing Aaron Ramsay to put them
:03:39. > :03:42.one up. Then they doubled their lead just before half time with a quick
:03:43. > :03:46.thinking strike from Lukas Podolski. That same man added more misery
:03:47. > :03:51.early in the second half picking up this rebound and slotting home to
:03:52. > :03:54.make the final score 3`0 to Arsenal. Although the Tigers fans were
:03:55. > :04:04.disappointed with the score, many were still optimistic about a win at
:04:05. > :04:09.Wembley. A cup game is a different matter altogether. It is about who
:04:10. > :04:14.wants it the most. A bit dodgy but you never know. Never lost today is
:04:15. > :04:17.going to win the FA Cup! As a rehearsal to next month's final,
:04:18. > :04:20.manager Steve Bruce will be analysing Arsenal's play in fine
:04:21. > :04:26.detail if his men are to stand a better chance of bringing home the
:04:27. > :04:29.FA Cup. Scunthorpe United could secure
:04:30. > :04:32.promotion to League One if they win at home against Oxford tomorrow. The
:04:33. > :04:36.Iron are top of League Two and if the matches at Burton, Fleetwood or
:04:37. > :04:39.Chesterfield go their way they could get one of three automatic promotion
:04:40. > :04:42.places. And you'll be able to hear commentary of Scunthorpe United's
:04:43. > :04:46.crucial match against Oxford on BBC Radio Humberside's FM frequency
:04:47. > :04:50.tomorrow. The build up starts at 1.30 while on digital and the web it
:04:51. > :04:56.will be Grimsby Town against Hyde FC and BBC Radio Lincolnshire will have
:04:57. > :05:01.coverage of trip to Wrexham. Kick off is at 3pm.
:05:02. > :05:13.Not been so bad weather wise. Good evening. Through this evening

:06:08. > :06:14.Hello. Well, it was another lovely sunny day across the north of the
:06:15. > :06:16.UK. What a difference over the south. The rain set in for the
:06:17. > :06:20.course of the afternoon. There's more of that to come. It has been
:06:21. > :06:26.getting heavy across southern England. A narrow band for London,
:06:27. > :06:27.for the south Midlands, to south Wales and the
:06:28. > :06:39.for the south Midlands, to south England and into Northern Ireland
:06:40. > :06:43.for a time. Otherwise it looks like staying largely dry. A mild night as
:06:44. > :06:48.well. Nothing like as cold as last night. Just the far north perhaps
:06:49. > :06:52.seeing temperatures dipping away under clearer skies. A cloudy start
:06:53. > :06:58.for many of us tomorrow. The sun will break through every now and
:06:59. > :07:01.then. Areas bordering the Irish Sea looking good as well. You will
:07:02. > :07:07.notice showers developing further south. As we go into the afternoon,
