Hey, morning! Leah here, with today's Newsround. Stick around for | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
some of this. Why this famous writer wants | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
publishers to book up their ideas. Plus: The four-legged vandal that | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
had police barking up the wrong tree. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
But first, today: A big mystery surrounding Britain's most | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
mysterious artist. Banksy is famous for putting street art on walls and | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
buildings, and waiting for fans to find it. But his latest offering was | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
taken down by a local youth club who said they wanted to sell it to raise | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
money. And, because no one knows who Banksy actually is, it's sparked a | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
big row about who actually owns the picture. Here's Martin. | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
Banksy made his name and his fortune as a street artist. Almost nobody | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
would notice him walking down the streets. But his work is far more | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
recognisable. He doesn't say where his art is | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
going to be. So, anyone finds it, everyone comes and sees it, it's | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
amazing. Because many people want money, and | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
want the fame, and want people to know who he is, but he doesn't. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
When a Banksy piece of art is spotted, it tends to become an | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
instant tourist attraction. But his latest work lasted just hours before | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
it was removed and taken here to this youth club in Bristol. Mobile | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
Lovers was prised away from a city council-owned wall with a crowbar, | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
and now stands in the corridor of the local boys' club. | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
I must admit, carrying it across the car park, yesterday, I had all sorts | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
of doubts of what I do as a youth worker, picking up something that | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
may belong to somebody else. But, if this can do some good, for the young | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
people coming to this club, then actually it is the right thing to | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
do. Because this community hasn't lost it then, this community has | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
gained it. What makes you think that the | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
painting was yours to take in the first place? | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Because of where it was, right next to the club, on an easily accessible | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
board. Banksy normally does his stuff on concrete. It's there, you | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
can see it, but you can't just take it off the wall and walk away. | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
Later in the day, police arrived. Instead of taking the painting, they | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
just had a good look, and left saying no complaint had been made. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
So, it seemed as if it was staying put. Have a But then, there was | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
another twist in the tale. An agreement had been made to move the | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Banksy piece to Bristol Museum until it is decided just who the piece | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
belonged to. And you can find out more Banksy in | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
our special guide on the website now. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Also today, the Children's Laureate says she's not a fan of books that | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
appear to be aimed just for boys or girls. Malorie Blackman says | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
targeting certain books at children is a big mistake. She also says, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
with strong competition from computer games and social media, | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
many boys don't choose to read away from the classroom. According to the | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
National Literacy Trust, reading for pleasure has decreased amongst girls | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
and boys since 2005 but, in boys, the decline has been steeper, and | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
she wants things to change. I do feel it becomes too | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
prescriptive. Where you have a brilliant book for boys, for | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
example, and we have robots and dinosaurs and dragons and pirates on | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
the cover. And we have the beautiful book for girls, it is pink and | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
glittery and flowers and make-up. It is wrong because you are instantly | :03:30. | :03:30. | |
excluding half the population. Big talks aimed at trying to stop | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
the growing tension in Ukraine start today. Leaders from America and the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
European Union will join those from Russia and Ukraine, to discuss the | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
crisis. It follows days of clashes between Ukrainian troops and armed | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
groups who want Russia to have more control in the country. US President | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Barack Obama says Russia needs to stop interfering in the country. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
Each time Russia takes these kinds of steps that are designed to | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
destabilise Ukraine and violate their sovereignty, there are going | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
to be consequences. Mr Putin's decisions are not just bad for | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Ukraine, in the long term, they will be bad for Russia. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Footy, and Manchester City's hopes of winning the Premier League took a | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
big blow last night. They could only manage a 2-2 draw with bottom-placed | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Sunderland, to leave them six points behind leaders Liverpool. Elsewhere, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
Everton lost 3-2 to Crystal Palace, meaning they fall behind Arsenal in | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
the race for fourth place. Residents in the Cumbrian town of | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
Brampton were puzzled after their car tyres kept going down. After | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
installing CCTV, they found the culprit was a border collie called | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Jess. Apparently, she was run over by a car about 18 months ago, | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
something which may have prompted her behaviour. Jess's owner has | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
promised to keep her on a lead in future so she can't cause any more | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
damage. Join us here in half-an-hour, to | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
find out about plans to use maggots like these to make cars run. | :04:56. | :04:57. |
