08/01/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

We are back with the late news at 10.30pm.

Organisers say more than 340,000 visitors have come to Hull over

the last seven days, smashing all expectations

for the opening week of City of Culture.

And after a week of fireworks and light displays, today the latest

art installation was moved into place, a 75-metre wind

turbine blade in the heart of the city centre.

Here's our culture correspondent, Anne-Marie Tasker.

It was City of Culture's surprise event, and you couldn't have

A 75-metre long, 28-tonne wind turbine blade, transported

into the heart of Hull city centre and transformed into a work of art.

Hull, in 2017, is where they are made so you get

It's made here, made by the people of Hull.

We'e got a symbolic form and an actual form of its power,

then it becomes self-evident, logical.

The operation to move it from the factory began at 1.45am,

the two miles taking around four hours.

And the journey posed some real challenges.

All 75 metres of the Blade have got to squeeze around this tight bend.

They've already taken out the streetlights,

the traffic lights and the barriers, but they still only have a few

meters to spare between the court building and King Billy up there.

By 10am, the supports and cranes were ready to start lifting it

into position and it had drawn quite a crowd.

Just like last week, it's been totally amazing.

A massive, massive positive for Hull.

I think it should stay for longer than two months,

because I think it's really good, really.

It's quite daunting, seeing its size out here

when you're used to seeing it inside the factory.

Bringing it out into the daylight, it's even more impressive.

As a local girl, I'm quite thrilled that, for me,

this monument is quite iconic but I'm part of the next piece

of Hull's iconic structure so I'm proud as anything.

The Blade is one of a series of sculptures being shown

during City of Culture, and the impact of this one

came as a surprise even to the people who'd planned it.

I did an artist's impression of it but nothing prepares

Hours later, the blade was finally in position and it will stay

here to be seen touched and driven under for the next 10 weeks.

Police are appealing for witnesses following the death of a 23-year-old

They were called to the A1104 at Miles Cross Hill near Alford

at about 5am yesterday morning after reports of a man

His death is currently being treated as unexplained.

Volunteers have been collecting Christmas trees

in Lincolnshire today, which they hope can be used in flood

The collection in Cleethorpes is part of a wider plan co-ordinated

It's hoped hundreds of trees can be used to help coastal flood defences.

They'll be put in place in the coming weeks.

We ask for ?5 a tree, so it's a big money raiser for us

This year we've come up with the idea of using the trees

to stabilise the sand dunes along the coast, especially

I'm a big believer in recycling so I like to see things

Also, the whole thing about protecting the coastlines

and the sand dunes was a really good thing to me.

The Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley has described his

side's FA Cup performance against Ipswich as

5,000 Imps fans travelled to Ipswich for yesterday's game.

And their team, who are having a great season, almost

They led the Championship side, who are three divisions above them,

Both goals for city came from Theo Robinson.

It ended 2-2, though, and will now go to a replay.

And you can head to our Facebook page for a special video,

put together by Lincoln City fans and BBC Radio Lincolnshire, looking

Hull City fans need to help the side by coming to games,

rather than staying away in protest at the owners.

That's according to new head coach, Marco Silva, who led the side

to victory in his first game in charge yesterday.

The Tigers beat Swansea 2-0 in the FA Cup through second half

But less than 6,500 city fans were at the match,

and the manager says they're needed to lift the players.

And now the weather, with Jennifer Bartram.

We've seen a fair amount of cloud around today and into this evening

and the overnight period, that cloud is going to increase.

We may still see a few patches of mist and fog here and there,

maybe even a bit of light rain or drizzle but the temperatures

overnight will fall down to around 5 or 6 Celsius,

It will start to turn windy overnight, though, and we have that

Gradually, we'll also start to see some spells of rain as we push

through into the early part of the afternoon.

Behind it, clearer skies and it will be feeling a bit colder,

temperatures up to a high of around 9 Celsius.

Into Tuesday, another fairly cloudy day.

It stays quite breezy but it is turning colder with some

wintery showers by the end of the week.

That's all from us for now, but we're back later tonight,

at the slightly later time of 10.50pm.

After a dull weekend for many of us, the weather gets shaken to life this

week. The real driver for the first wake-up call is low pressure pushing

towards Iceland, it will throw this weather front Alloway and before

that we have the south-westerly wind, another misty and foggy night

for England and Wales,
