:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening. An artwork by the Blakelock. Here on One we can now

:00:12. > :00:17.Good evening. An artwork by the street artist Banksy has become the

:00:18. > :00:20.subject of a public row. The picture, in Bristol, was painted

:00:21. > :00:24.onto a piece of wood nailed to a door but was removed by members of a

:00:25. > :00:28.nearby youth club who intend to sell it to raise money. But their right

:00:29. > :00:33.to the work is hotly disputed, as Andrew Plant reports. The most

:00:34. > :00:39.recent and now most controversial of all of Bristol's Banksys. Still on

:00:40. > :00:43.show to the public today, Mobile Lovers has been taken from its

:00:44. > :00:49.original home and stashed inside a nearby youth club. The artwork was

:00:50. > :00:55.prised off of its doorway yesterday by a carpenter with a crowbar, now

:00:56. > :00:59.replaced with a printed copy. The wall belongs to the council, but the

:01:00. > :01:05.leader of the youth club says he's not sorry and it's finders keepers.

:01:06. > :01:14.So it's council property, what if they ask for it back? They don't

:01:15. > :01:18.like graffiti do they? It's against their laws. They go round and cover

:01:19. > :01:24.it up. So if they ask for it back, you won't give it back? Definitely

:01:25. > :01:27.not. Besides that, we do not get the grants off the council these days to

:01:28. > :01:31.survive, so the reality is, if they want to come up with some good

:01:32. > :01:34.grants, they can have it. As we filmed today, the police arrived.

:01:35. > :01:38.But instead of impounding this picture, they had a good look and

:01:39. > :01:40.then left, saying there had been no official complaints from the

:01:41. > :01:43.council. But today, Bristol's elected mayor said the club's

:01:44. > :01:48.actions were theft. It is challenging for many of the youth

:01:49. > :01:51.clubs. I sympathise with them. But not to the extent of thieving a

:01:52. > :01:55.Banksy work of art and regarding it as their own. And art experts say

:01:56. > :02:04.selling one of Bristol's Banksys, even for a noble cause, raises some

:02:05. > :02:11.questions. I don't know how Banksy feels about that or would feel about

:02:12. > :02:18.that. I presume that he did it there for the public to enjoy. Many took

:02:19. > :02:23.pictures of the fake today, unaware that the real Banksy was stashed

:02:24. > :02:27.inside. This evening, there was a further twist in the tale, and an

:02:28. > :02:32.agreement was reached to move the Banksy to the Bristol Museum while

:02:33. > :02:35.its ownership is established. The youth club say they are determined

:02:36. > :02:39.it's theirs, they need ?150,000 to keep going and this artwork, they

:02:40. > :02:51.say, is their chance to raise that cash. Well, earlier, I spoke to the

:02:52. > :02:57.BBC Arts Editor and asked him if he thought it was art theft. I do know

:02:58. > :03:01.the legal ins and outs of whether it was theft or not, but I think that

:03:02. > :03:06.the real issue for me is that Banksy's canvas is the public

:03:07. > :03:10.domain, he works on the street. That is where the artworks are meant to

:03:11. > :03:14.be seen, experienced, enjoyed or despised, depending on your taste in

:03:15. > :03:18.these matters. They are not designed to be chipped off walls, taken away

:03:19. > :03:21.and sold for profit. There could be an argument that what Banksy did is

:03:22. > :03:27.legitimate vandalism, so taking it off is just returning that favour?

:03:28. > :03:31.It is a grey area with street art. And because Banksy is such a big

:03:32. > :03:34.name, a global brand, his works are immediately valuable. But it is,

:03:35. > :03:38.strictly speaking, vandalism and painting on walls is not allowed, it

:03:39. > :03:47.is against the law unless you have asked permission. So really it is a

:03:48. > :03:50.difficult, nebulous point to argue. I think, personally, that the spirit

:03:51. > :03:54.in which it was created is the spirit in which it should be treated

:03:55. > :03:59.and if the general public ` for it is a public work of art, supposedly

:04:00. > :04:02.` if the general public want it, it should remain there. In my view, it

:04:03. > :04:06.should've remained at least long enough for people to have an opinion

:04:07. > :04:12.and if the community where it was placed wanted it there, there it

:04:13. > :04:15.should remain. In other news, two players from

:04:16. > :04:18.Gloucester Rugby have received match bans tonight after being sent off

:04:19. > :04:21.during last Saturday's game against Bath.Prop forward Sila Puafisi and

:04:22. > :04:25.scrum half Tavis Knoyle both appeared before an RFU disciplinary

:04:26. > :04:28.panel. Puasfisi got a week's ban and Knoyle's four`week ban means he

:04:29. > :04:37.won't play for Gloucester again as he finishes at the end of the

:04:38. > :04:41.season. A man who had a heart attack while

:04:42. > :04:44.playing squash in Cheltenham was saved by lifeguards who'd just

:04:45. > :04:47.finished a first aid lesson in a room next door. At first they

:04:48. > :04:51.thought it was a surprise exercise until they realised it really was a

:04:52. > :04:54.life or death situation. Scott Ellis reports. It was Friday night at this

:04:55. > :04:57.sports centre in Cheltenham where a 42`year`old man was playing squash

:04:58. > :05:00.on this court when he collapsed. Fortunately, his life`savers were

:05:01. > :05:05.not that far away, they were actually learning first aid in the

:05:06. > :05:09.room next door. The problem was that Natalie Schofield, Joe Wylie and the

:05:10. > :05:13.rest of the class, thought it was a drill. He just ran in and said is

:05:14. > :05:18.there a first aider about, somebody has collapsed. We stood up, looked

:05:19. > :05:23.at each other and thought this was a setup. It was just the way the guy

:05:24. > :05:26.ran in and our first aider jumped up. We thought they were testing our

:05:27. > :05:31.skills. But the reality was, there was a man down there. What did he

:05:32. > :05:35.look like? When we walked in, he was on his side, collapsed and was going

:05:36. > :05:40.quite blue. That's when it hit home it was not a drill. George Tarte was

:05:41. > :05:42.the first aid teacher that day. He delegated tasks to each of the

:05:43. > :05:50.lifeguards, including chest compression, then a life`saving

:05:51. > :05:53.electric shock from a defibrillator. George is full of praise for his

:05:54. > :05:57.young lifeguards, but says it is lucky that they were there at all.

:05:58. > :06:09.?? YELLOWThe training session was virtually over. Two more minutes and

:06:10. > :06:13.they would have gone home. It was amazing that we were there and able

:06:14. > :06:16.to make the difference. Amazing. You feel good, obviously, that you just

:06:17. > :06:20.saved somebody. I'm just glad he's OK. ?? WHITEThe 42`year`old man is

:06:21. > :06:24.recovering in hospital. His wife has thanked everybody who helped to save

:06:25. > :06:28.her husband's life. That's it from us tonight. There is

:06:29. > :06:32.more news on the BBC Website. We'll be back tomorrow. But, for now, I'll

:06:33. > :06:39.leave you with Ian Fergusson who has the latest weather.

:06:40. > :06:44.A very good evening to you, another dry day on offer tomorrow. The key

:06:45. > :06:48.difference will be more cloud compared to the last few days. Still

:06:49. > :06:51.some bright and sunny spells and a rather warm day, particularly so

:06:52. > :06:54.down in the south of our region. Temperatures tonight will not be

:06:55. > :06:57.quite as low as recently, but nonetheless, three or four Celsius

:06:58. > :07:02.in some parts of the countryside, close to about five or six in most

:07:03. > :07:05.of the urban areas. There will be a bit more cloud around tonight as

:07:06. > :07:08.well, tomorrow morning will see the best of the sunshine in the

:07:09. > :07:12.widespread sense, but that will get squeezed down south as the day

:07:13. > :07:15.continues, with much more in the way of cloud through the course of the

:07:16. > :07:19.afternoon. But, as I say, still staying dry and where we have held

:07:20. > :07:22.onto the sunshine for longest, across parts of south and south`east

:07:23. > :07:25.Somerset into Dorset, here the temperatures will be at their

:07:26. > :07:29.highest ` up to 16 or 17 Celsius, should be feeling pretty warm. About

:07:30. > :07:32.14 or 15 elsewhere. Best days of the Easter weekend will be by some

:07:33. > :07:42.margin Friday and Saturday, much more unsettled for Sunday

:07:43. > :07:48.Good evening. The good news is that it will be a reasonably sunny start

:07:49. > :07:51.to the Easter weekend. The bad news is that it will not stay that way

:07:52. > :07:56.for many of us. Overnight tonight, many of us will be dry with patchy

:07:57. > :08:00.rain across Scotland. Some of us will -- some of this will track into

:08:01. > :08:06.northern England and were. Quite patchy in nature. Not a lot of rain.

:08:07. > :08:07.Dry further south. Maybe
