:00:00. > :00:13.We are back with the late news at 10.30pm.

:00:14. > :00:18.Organisers say more than 340,000 visitors have come to Hull over

:00:19. > :00:22.the last seven days, smashing all expectations

:00:23. > :00:24.for the opening week of City of Culture.

:00:25. > :00:27.And after a week of fireworks and light displays, today the latest

:00:28. > :00:37.art installation was moved into place, a 75-metre wind

:00:38. > :00:40.turbine blade in the heart of the city centre.

:00:41. > :00:41.Here's our culture correspondent, Anne-Marie Tasker.

:00:42. > :00:44.It was City of Culture's surprise event, and you couldn't have

:00:45. > :00:47.A 75-metre long, 28-tonne wind turbine blade, transported

:00:48. > :01:05.into the heart of Hull city centre and transformed into a work of art.

:01:06. > :01:08.Hull, in 2017, is where they are made so you get

:01:09. > :01:12.It's made here, made by the people of Hull.

:01:13. > :01:15.We'e got a symbolic form and an actual form of its power,

:01:16. > :01:16.then it becomes self-evident, logical.

:01:17. > :01:20.The operation to move it from the factory began at 1.45am,

:01:21. > :01:22.the two miles taking around four hours.

:01:23. > :01:24.And the journey posed some real challenges.

:01:25. > :01:27.All 75 metres of the Blade have got to squeeze around this tight bend.

:01:28. > :01:29.They've already taken out the streetlights,

:01:30. > :01:32.the traffic lights and the barriers, but they still only have a few

:01:33. > :01:34.meters to spare between the court building and King Billy up there.

:01:35. > :01:37.By 10am, the supports and cranes were ready to start lifting it

:01:38. > :01:42.into position and it had drawn quite a crowd.

:01:43. > :01:47.Just like last week, it's been totally amazing.

:01:48. > :01:53.A massive, massive positive for Hull.

:01:54. > :01:55.I think it should stay for longer than two months,

:01:56. > :02:03.because I think it's really good, really.

:02:04. > :02:05.It's quite daunting, seeing its size out here

:02:06. > :02:07.when you're used to seeing it inside the factory.

:02:08. > :02:10.Bringing it out into the daylight, it's even more impressive.

:02:11. > :02:12.As a local girl, I'm quite thrilled that, for me,

:02:13. > :02:15.this monument is quite iconic but I'm part of the next piece

:02:16. > :02:17.of Hull's iconic structure so I'm proud as anything.

:02:18. > :02:20.The Blade is one of a series of sculptures being shown

:02:21. > :02:23.during City of Culture, and the impact of this one

:02:24. > :02:25.came as a surprise even to the people who'd planned it.

:02:26. > :02:28.I did an artist's impression of it but nothing prepares

:02:29. > :02:36.Hours later, the blade was finally in position and it will stay

:02:37. > :02:39.here to be seen touched and driven under for the next 10 weeks.

:02:40. > :02:45.Anne-Marie Tasker, BBC Look North, Hull.

:02:46. > :02:48.Police are appealing for witnesses following the death of a 23-year-old

:02:57. > :02:58.at about 5am yesterday morning after reports of a man

:02:59. > :03:03.His death is currently being treated as unexplained.

:03:04. > :03:05.Volunteers have been collecting Christmas trees

:03:06. > :03:07.in Lincolnshire today, which they hope can be used in flood

:03:08. > :03:12.The collection in Cleethorpes is part of a wider plan co-ordinated

:03:13. > :03:16.It's hoped hundreds of trees can be used to help coastal flood defences.

:03:17. > :03:22.They'll be put in place in the coming weeks.

:03:23. > :03:26.We ask for ?5 a tree, so it's a big money raiser for us

:03:27. > :03:31.This year we've come up with the idea of using the trees

:03:32. > :03:33.to stabilise the sand dunes along the coast, especially

:03:34. > :03:39.I'm a big believer in recycling so I like to see things

:03:40. > :03:42.Also, the whole thing about protecting the coastlines

:03:43. > :04:04.and the sand dunes was a really good thing to me.

:04:05. > :04:07.The Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley has described his

:04:08. > :04:08.side's FA Cup performance against Ipswich as

:04:09. > :04:11.5,000 Imps fans travelled to Ipswich for yesterday's game.

:04:12. > :04:14.And their team, who are having a great season, almost

:04:15. > :04:18.They led the Championship side, who are three divisions above them,

:04:19. > :04:21.Both goals for city came from Theo Robinson.

:04:22. > :04:23.It ended 2-2, though, and will now go to a replay.

:04:24. > :04:26.And you can head to our Facebook page for a special video,

:04:27. > :04:29.put together by Lincoln City fans and BBC Radio Lincolnshire, looking

:04:30. > :04:35.Hull City fans need to help the side by coming to games,

:04:36. > :04:40.rather than staying away in protest at the owners.

:04:41. > :04:43.That's according to new head coach, Marco Silva, who led the side

:04:44. > :04:45.to victory in his first game in charge yesterday.

:04:46. > :04:48.The Tigers beat Swansea 2-0 in the FA Cup through second half

:04:49. > :04:54.But less than 6,500 city fans were at the match,

:05:01. > :05:03.And now the weather, with Jennifer Bartram.

:05:04. > :05:08.We've seen a fair amount of cloud around today and into this evening

:05:12. > :05:14.We may still see a few patches of mist and fog here and there,

:05:15. > :05:17.maybe even a bit of light rain or drizzle but the temperatures

:05:18. > :05:20.overnight will fall down to around 5 or 6 Celsius,

:05:21. > :05:24.It will start to turn windy overnight, though, and we have that

:05:25. > :05:28.Gradually, we'll also start to see some spells of rain as we push

:05:29. > :05:31.through into the early part of the afternoon.

:05:32. > :05:36.Behind it, clearer skies and it will be feeling a bit colder,

:05:37. > :05:38.temperatures up to a high of around 9 Celsius.

:05:39. > :05:39.Into Tuesday, another fairly cloudy day.

:05:40. > :05:42.It stays quite breezy but it is turning colder with some

:05:43. > :05:50.wintery showers by the end of the week.

:05:51. > :05:53.That's all from us for now, but we're back later tonight,

:05:59. > :06:16.After a dull weekend for many of us, the weather gets shaken to life this

:06:17. > :06:22.week. The real driver for the first wake-up call is low pressure pushing

:06:23. > :06:24.towards Iceland, it will throw this weather front Alloway and before
