Good evening. An artwork by the Blakelock. Here on One we can now | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. An artwork by the street artist Banksy has become the | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
subject of a public row. The picture, in Bristol, was painted | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
onto a piece of wood nailed to a door but was removed by members of a | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
nearby youth club who intend to sell it to raise money. But their right | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
to the work is hotly disputed, as Andrew Plant reports. The most | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
recent and now most controversial of all of Bristol's Banksys. Still on | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
show to the public today, Mobile Lovers has been taken from its | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
original home and stashed inside a nearby youth club. The artwork was | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
prised off of its doorway yesterday by a carpenter with a crowbar, now | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
replaced with a printed copy. The wall belongs to the council, but the | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
leader of the youth club says he's not sorry and it's finders keepers. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
So it's council property, what if they ask for it back? They don't | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
like graffiti do they? It's against their laws. They go round and cover | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
it up. So if they ask for it back, you won't give it back? Definitely | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
not. Besides that, we do not get the grants off the council these days to | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
survive, so the reality is, if they want to come up with some good | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
grants, they can have it. As we filmed today, the police arrived. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
But instead of impounding this picture, they had a good look and | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
then left, saying there had been no official complaints from the | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
council. But today, Bristol's elected mayor said the club's | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
actions were theft. It is challenging for many of the youth | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
clubs. I sympathise with them. But not to the extent of thieving a | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Banksy work of art and regarding it as their own. And art experts say | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
selling one of Bristol's Banksys, even for a noble cause, raises some | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
questions. I don't know how Banksy feels about that or would feel about | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
that. I presume that he did it there for the public to enjoy. Many took | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
pictures of the fake today, unaware that the real Banksy was stashed | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
inside. This evening, there was a further twist in the tale, and an | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
agreement was reached to move the Banksy to the Bristol Museum while | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
its ownership is established. The youth club say they are determined | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
it's theirs, they need ?150,000 to keep going and this artwork, they | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
say, is their chance to raise that cash. Well, earlier, I spoke to the | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
BBC Arts Editor and asked him if he thought it was art theft. I do know | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
the legal ins and outs of whether it was theft or not, but I think that | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
the real issue for me is that Banksy's canvas is the public | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
domain, he works on the street. That is where the artworks are meant to | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
be seen, experienced, enjoyed or despised, depending on your taste in | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
these matters. They are not designed to be chipped off walls, taken away | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and sold for profit. There could be an argument that what Banksy did is | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
legitimate vandalism, so taking it off is just returning that favour? | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
It is a grey area with street art. And because Banksy is such a big | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
name, a global brand, his works are immediately valuable. But it is, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
strictly speaking, vandalism and painting on walls is not allowed, it | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
is against the law unless you have asked permission. So really it is a | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
difficult, nebulous point to argue. I think, personally, that the spirit | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
in which it was created is the spirit in which it should be treated | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
and if the general public ` for it is a public work of art, supposedly | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
` if the general public want it, it should remain there. In my view, it | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
should've remained at least long enough for people to have an opinion | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
and if the community where it was placed wanted it there, there it | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
should remain. In other news, two players from | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Gloucester Rugby have received match bans tonight after being sent off | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
during last Saturday's game against Bath.Prop forward Sila Puafisi and | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
scrum half Tavis Knoyle both appeared before an RFU disciplinary | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
panel. Puasfisi got a week's ban and Knoyle's four`week ban means he | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
won't play for Gloucester again as he finishes at the end of the | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
season. A man who had a heart attack while | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
playing squash in Cheltenham was saved by lifeguards who'd just | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
finished a first aid lesson in a room next door. At first they | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
thought it was a surprise exercise until they realised it really was a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
life or death situation. Scott Ellis reports. It was Friday night at this | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
sports centre in Cheltenham where a 42`year`old man was playing squash | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
on this court when he collapsed. Fortunately, his life`savers were | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
not that far away, they were actually learning first aid in the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
room next door. The problem was that Natalie Schofield, Joe Wylie and the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
rest of the class, thought it was a drill. He just ran in and said is | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
there a first aider about, somebody has collapsed. We stood up, looked | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
at each other and thought this was a setup. It was just the way the guy | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
ran in and our first aider jumped up. We thought they were testing our | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
skills. But the reality was, there was a man down there. What did he | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
look like? When we walked in, he was on his side, collapsed and was going | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
quite blue. That's when it hit home it was not a drill. George Tarte was | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
the first aid teacher that day. He delegated tasks to each of the | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
lifeguards, including chest compression, then a life`saving | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
electric shock from a defibrillator. George is full of praise for his | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
young lifeguards, but says it is lucky that they were there at all. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
?? YELLOWThe training session was virtually over. Two more minutes and | :05:58. | :06:09. | |
they would have gone home. It was amazing that we were there and able | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
to make the difference. Amazing. You feel good, obviously, that you just | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
saved somebody. I'm just glad he's OK. ?? WHITEThe 42`year`old man is | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
recovering in hospital. His wife has thanked everybody who helped to save | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
her husband's life. That's it from us tonight. There is | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
more news on the BBC Website. We'll be back tomorrow. But, for now, I'll | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
leave you with Ian Fergusson who has the latest weather. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
A very good evening to you, another dry day on offer tomorrow. The key | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
difference will be more cloud compared to the last few days. Still | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
some bright and sunny spells and a rather warm day, particularly so | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
down in the south of our region. Temperatures tonight will not be | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
quite as low as recently, but nonetheless, three or four Celsius | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
in some parts of the countryside, close to about five or six in most | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
of the urban areas. There will be a bit more cloud around tonight as | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
well, tomorrow morning will see the best of the sunshine in the | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
widespread sense, but that will get squeezed down south as the day | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
continues, with much more in the way of cloud through the course of the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
afternoon. But, as I say, still staying dry and where we have held | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
onto the sunshine for longest, across parts of south and south`east | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Somerset into Dorset, here the temperatures will be at their | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
highest ` up to 16 or 17 Celsius, should be feeling pretty warm. About | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
14 or 15 elsewhere. Best days of the Easter weekend will be by some | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
margin Friday and Saturday, much more unsettled for Sunday | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
Good evening. The good news is that it will be a reasonably sunny start | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
to the Easter weekend. The bad news is that it will not stay that way | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
for many of us. Overnight tonight, many of us will be dry with patchy | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
rain across Scotland. Some of us will -- some of this will track into | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
northern England and were. Quite patchy in nature. Not a lot of rain. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
Dry further south. Maybe | :08:07. | :08:07. |
