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

some of this on the way. Why maggots could be used to power

:00:00.:00:10.

cars and feed farms. Plus: the big mystery around one

Briton's coolest artists. One of the UK's leading children's

:00:19.:00:31.

authors has criticised publishers for making books that specifically

:00:32.:00:34.

target boys or girls. Malorie Blackman says targeting certain

:00:35.:00:37.

books at one sex or the other is old-fashioned, and a big mistake.

:00:38.:00:41.

She's also backing calls to get more boys reading, but says the

:00:42.:00:43.

traditional way of presenting books needs to change.

:00:44.:00:46.

I do feel it becomes too prescriptive. Where you have a

:00:47.:00:51.

brilliant book for boys, for example, and we have robots and

:00:52.:00:54.

dinosaurs and dragons and pirates on the cover. And we have the beautiful

:00:55.:00:58.

book for girls, it is pink and glittery and flowers and make-up. It

:00:59.:01:01.

is wrong because you are instantly excluding half the population.

:01:02.:01:19.

Look away now if you're eating your breakfast. Scientists are kicking

:01:20.:01:24.

off a big study which could see maggots like these fuel cars in the

:01:25.:01:27.

future. The three-year study will see them farm billions of flies, and

:01:28.:01:31.

turn their maggots into animal feed or even diesel fuel.

:01:32.:01:34.

The potential for exploiting these which are considered as pests, for

:01:35.:01:36.

the benefit of society, is huge A big mystery surrounds Britain's

:01:37.:01:43.

most mysterious artist. Banksy is famous for putting street

:01:44.:01:46.

art on walls and buildings, and waiting for fans to find it. But his

:01:47.:01:48.

latest offering was taken down by a Banksy made his name and his fortune

:01:49.:02:06.

as a street artist. Almost nobody would notice him walking down the

:02:07.:02:13.

streets. But his work is far more recognisable. He doesn't say where

:02:14.:02:18.

his art is going to be. So, anyone finds it, everyone comes and sees

:02:19.:02:21.

it, it's amazing. Because many people want money, and

:02:22.:02:25.

want the fame, and want people to know who he is, but he doesn't.

:02:26.:02:35.

When a Banksy piece of art is spotted, it tends to become an

:02:36.:02:38.

instant tourist attraction. But his latest work lasted just hours before

:02:39.:02:42.

it was removed and taken here to this youth club in Bristol. Mobile

:02:43.:02:45.

Lovers was prised away from a city council-owned wall with a crowbar,

:02:46.:02:48.

and now stands in the corridor of the local boys' club. I must admit,

:02:49.:03:00.

carrying it across the car park, yesterday, I had all sorts of doubts

:03:01.:03:04.

of what I do as a youth worker, picking up something that may belong

:03:05.:03:08.

to somebody else. But, if this can do some good, for the young people

:03:09.:03:11.

coming to this club, then actually it is the right thing to do. Because

:03:12.:03:15.

this community hasn't lost it then, this community has gained it. What

:03:16.:03:18.

makes you think that the painting was yours to take in the first

:03:19.:03:22.

place? Because of where it was, right next to the club, on an easily

:03:23.:03:25.

accessible board. Banksy normally does his stuff on concrete. It's

:03:26.:03:29.

there, you can see it, but you can't just take it off the wall and walk

:03:30.:03:33.

away. Later in the day, police arrived. Instead of taking the

:03:34.:03:36.

painting, they just had a good look, and let's say no complaint had been

:03:37.:03:40.

made. -- and left saying. So, it seemed as if it was staying put. But

:03:41.:03:44.

then, there was another twist in the tale. An agreement had been made to

:03:45.:03:52.

move the Banksy piece to Bristol Museum until it is decided just who

:03:53.:03:57.

the piece belonged to. You can find out more Banksy in our

:03:58.:03:59.

special guide on the website now. Food regulators are launching a

:04:00.:04:15.

crackdown on lamb dishes from takeaways. It's because two studies

:04:16.:04:18.

found the meat, usually in curries or kebabs, is sometimes replaced by

:04:19.:04:21.

cheaper products, with some containing no lamb at all. The Food

:04:22.:04:24.

Standards Agency says it'll start testing restaurants across the UK.

:04:25.:04:27.

And anyone found deliberatively mislabelling their dishes could be

:04:28.:04:28.

prosecuted. Residents in the Cumbrian town of

:04:29.:04:34.

Brampton were puzzled after their car tyres kept going down. After

:04:35.:04:37.

installing CCTV, they found the culprit was a border collie called

:04:38.:04:40.

Jess. Apparently, she was run over by a car about 18 months ago,

:04:41.:04:44.

something which may have prompted her behaviour. Jess's owner has

:04:45.:04:47.

promised to keep her on a lead in future so she can't cause any more

:04:48.:04:51.

damage. Newsround is back this afternoon.
