:00:00. > :00:00.You're live with Newsround this Wednesday morning. Leah here, with

:00:00. > :00:10.some of this on the way. Why maggots could be used to power

:00:11. > :00:18.cars and feed farms. Plus: the big mystery around one

:00:19. > :00:31.Briton's coolest artists. One of the UK's leading children's

:00:32. > :00:34.authors has criticised publishers for making books that specifically

:00:35. > :00:37.target boys or girls. Malorie Blackman says targeting certain

:00:38. > :00:41.books at one sex or the other is old-fashioned, and a big mistake.

:00:42. > :00:43.She's also backing calls to get more boys reading, but says the

:00:44. > :00:46.traditional way of presenting books needs to change.

:00:47. > :00:51.I do feel it becomes too prescriptive. Where you have a

:00:52. > :00:54.brilliant book for boys, for example, and we have robots and

:00:55. > :00:58.dinosaurs and dragons and pirates on the cover. And we have the beautiful

:00:59. > :01:01.book for girls, it is pink and glittery and flowers and make-up. It

:01:02. > :01:19.is wrong because you are instantly excluding half the population.

:01:20. > :01:24.Look away now if you're eating your breakfast. Scientists are kicking

:01:25. > :01:27.off a big study which could see maggots like these fuel cars in the

:01:28. > :01:31.future. The three-year study will see them farm billions of flies, and

:01:32. > :01:34.turn their maggots into animal feed or even diesel fuel.

:01:35. > :01:36.The potential for exploiting these which are considered as pests, for

:01:37. > :01:43.the benefit of society, is huge A big mystery surrounds Britain's

:01:44. > :01:46.most mysterious artist. Banksy is famous for putting street

:01:47. > :01:48.art on walls and buildings, and waiting for fans to find it. But his

:01:49. > :02:06.latest offering was taken down by a Banksy made his name and his fortune

:02:07. > :02:13.as a street artist. Almost nobody would notice him walking down the

:02:14. > :02:18.streets. But his work is far more recognisable. He doesn't say where

:02:19. > :02:21.his art is going to be. So, anyone finds it, everyone comes and sees

:02:22. > :02:25.it, it's amazing. Because many people want money, and

:02:26. > :02:35.want the fame, and want people to know who he is, but he doesn't.

:02:36. > :02:38.When a Banksy piece of art is spotted, it tends to become an

:02:39. > :02:42.instant tourist attraction. But his latest work lasted just hours before

:02:43. > :02:45.it was removed and taken here to this youth club in Bristol. Mobile

:02:46. > :02:48.Lovers was prised away from a city council-owned wall with a crowbar,

:02:49. > :03:00.and now stands in the corridor of the local boys' club. I must admit,

:03:01. > :03:04.carrying it across the car park, yesterday, I had all sorts of doubts

:03:05. > :03:08.of what I do as a youth worker, picking up something that may belong

:03:09. > :03:11.to somebody else. But, if this can do some good, for the young people

:03:12. > :03:15.coming to this club, then actually it is the right thing to do. Because

:03:16. > :03:18.this community hasn't lost it then, this community has gained it. What

:03:19. > :03:22.makes you think that the painting was yours to take in the first

:03:23. > :03:25.place? Because of where it was, right next to the club, on an easily

:03:26. > :03:29.accessible board. Banksy normally does his stuff on concrete. It's

:03:30. > :03:33.there, you can see it, but you can't just take it off the wall and walk

:03:34. > :03:36.away. Later in the day, police arrived. Instead of taking the

:03:37. > :03:40.painting, they just had a good look, and let's say no complaint had been

:03:41. > :03:44.made. -- and left saying. So, it seemed as if it was staying put. But

:03:45. > :03:52.then, there was another twist in the tale. An agreement had been made to

:03:53. > :03:57.move the Banksy piece to Bristol Museum until it is decided just who

:03:58. > :03:59.the piece belonged to. You can find out more Banksy in our

:04:00. > :04:15.special guide on the website now. Food regulators are launching a

:04:16. > :04:18.crackdown on lamb dishes from takeaways. It's because two studies

:04:19. > :04:21.found the meat, usually in curries or kebabs, is sometimes replaced by

:04:22. > :04:24.cheaper products, with some containing no lamb at all. The Food

:04:25. > :04:27.Standards Agency says it'll start testing restaurants across the UK.

:04:28. > :04:28.And anyone found deliberatively mislabelling their dishes could be

:04:29. > :04:34.prosecuted. Residents in the Cumbrian town of

:04:35. > :04:37.Brampton were puzzled after their car tyres kept going down. After

:04:38. > :04:40.installing CCTV, they found the culprit was a border collie called

:04:41. > :04:44.Jess. Apparently, she was run over by a car about 18 months ago,

:04:45. > :04:47.something which may have prompted her behaviour. Jess's owner has

:04:48. > :04:51.promised to keep her on a lead in future so she can't cause any more

:04:52. > :04:54.damage. Newsround is back this afternoon.
