tomorrow. That's it. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Good evening. The Environment Agency has begun pumping hundreds of | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
thousands of tonnes of sand onto Lincolnshire's beaches to help shore | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
up flood defences along the coast, work it says is vital to help | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
protect communities. Although beaches are replenished annually, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
this year more sand is needed after December's tidal surge which | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
stripped a large quantity from the county's coastline. Jake Zuckerman | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
reports. For 20 years now, Lincolnshire's | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
beaches have undergone annual repair and restoration. Sand dredged from | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
the sea bed is pumped onshore to replace that which the sea has | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
washed away. Without the scheme, the beach here would be reduced to bare | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
clay. As well as making the beaches more attractive for visitors, the | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
sand helps protect sea defences, absorbing the power of the ocean. | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
And on and on the beach because it reduces the wave energy so also | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
reduces the erosion of the sea. It offers protection to 30,000 | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
properties and 30,000 hectares of agricultural land. This year the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
beach replenishment will cost ?8.4 million, almost ?2.5 million more | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
than normal, thanks to damage caused by December's tidal surge. It shows | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
just how vital the beach replenishment scheme is when it | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
comes to protecting coastal communities from flooding and this | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
year of the scheme will see 520,000 cubic metres of sand pumped onto | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
their stretch of beach between Mablethorpe and Skegness. Here in | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Mablethorpe, businesses like this one say it's vital for tourism. We | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
have got a fabulous beach. If we have not got the beach for people to | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
travel on, Mablethorpe would be dead. It is the only reason for | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
people to come here. On Lincolnshire's East coast, thousands | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
of homes, businesses and caravans are at risk of flooding. Beach | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
restoration is an important part of the solution. Jake Zuckerman, BBC | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Look North, Mablethorpe. A second person has died following a | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
crash in Lincolnshire on Good Friday. The 16`year`old boy from | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Lincoln was killed when two cars and a van collided on the A1104 at | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
Saleby Near Alford. A 70`year`old woman also died in the crash, and | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
six people remain in hospital with serious injuries ` among them is an | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
11`year`old boy. This was a large`scale incident and | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
it required a coordinated approach with emergency services involving | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
five Ian ambulances. `` Ian ambulances. It was flagged by many | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
as a dress rehearsal for Hull City's FA Cup final match against Arsenal | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
in May. But this afternoon's Premier League | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
3`0 defeat has left Steve Bruce rueing missed chances and Tigers | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
fans hoping they can turn their fortunes around next time the two | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
sides meet. They are now hoping they can turn their fortunes around. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
A game touted as a preview to next month's FA Cup final, the Tigers | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
will be hoping for better fortune come the 17th of May though. The | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
advertising boards took centre stage causing a delay, but despite the | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
disruption Hull started well pressing Arsenal high up the pitch | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
and almost getting their reward with this Nikica Jelavic chance. But 31 | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
minutes into the match and the Gunners asserted their dominance, | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
picking City's defence apart and allowing Aaron Ramsay to put them | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
one up. Then they doubled their lead just before half time with a quick | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
thinking strike from Lukas Podolski. That same man added more misery | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
early in the second half picking up this rebound and slotting home to | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
make the final score 3`0 to Arsenal. Although the Tigers fans were | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
disappointed with the score, many were still optimistic about a win at | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
Wembley. A cup game is a different matter altogether. It is about who | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
wants it the most. A bit dodgy but you never know. Never lost today is | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
going to win the FA Cup! As a rehearsal to next month's final, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
manager Steve Bruce will be analysing Arsenal's play in fine | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
detail if his men are to stand a better chance of bringing home the | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
FA Cup. Scunthorpe United could secure | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
promotion to League One if they win at home against Oxford tomorrow. The | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Iron are top of League Two and if the matches at Burton, Fleetwood or | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Chesterfield go their way they could get one of three automatic promotion | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
places. And you'll be able to hear commentary of Scunthorpe United's | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
crucial match against Oxford on BBC Radio Humberside's FM frequency | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
tomorrow. The build up starts at 1.30 while on digital and the web it | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
will be Grimsby Town against Hyde FC and BBC Radio Lincolnshire will have | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
coverage of trip to Wrexham. Kick off is at 3pm. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Not been so bad weather wise. Good evening. Through this evening | :05:02. | :05:13. | |
it will turn increasingly cloudy but most of us should stay dry with BS | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
got some rain particularly in western areas. Quite cloudy soil | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
temperatures around about 10 Celsius or quite mild. Easter Monday will be | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
breezy. We should see it brightening up what some sunny spells and in the | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
afternoon the UNESCO some showers. `` the risk of some showers. Should | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
get up to 16 Celsius in the sunshine and when they will start to ease | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
their own. The desk of showers more persistent. That's all for now. I'm | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
back with a round up of the day's news at quarter past ten tonight, | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
hope you can join me then. Bye for now. | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
Hello. Well, it was another lovely sunny day across the north of the | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
UK. What a difference over the south. The rain set in for the | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
course of the afternoon. There's more of that to come. It has been | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
getting heavy across southern England. A narrow band for London, | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
for the south Midlands, to south Wales and the | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
for the south Midlands, to south England and into Northern Ireland | :06:28. | :06:39. | |
for a time. Otherwise it looks like staying largely dry. A mild night as | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
well. Nothing like as cold as last night. Just the far north perhaps | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
seeing temperatures dipping away under clearer skies. A cloudy start | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
for many of us tomorrow. The sun will break through every now and | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
then. Areas bordering the Irish Sea looking good as well. You will | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
notice showers developing further south. As we go into the afternoon, | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
a zone of heavy showers across the south Midlands | :07:08. | :07:08. |
