Good evening. back with the late news at

:00:10.:00:10.

Good evening. The Banksy painting which was

:00:11.:00:13.

controversially removed from a wall in Bristol has gone back on display.

:00:14.:00:17.

The picture was taken by youth club workers who planned to sell it. But

:00:18.:00:21.

after a debate about the ownership, it's now on show at the City Museum.

:00:22.:00:27.

Andrew Plant reports. Art for the outside world now inside

:00:28.:00:32.

a museum. Banksy's Mobile Lovers ` lost not in each other but the lure

:00:33.:00:36.

of technology ` taken in through the eyes and the cameras of those who'd

:00:37.:00:48.

come to see it. They are so absorbed with their mobiles. They are not

:00:49.:00:52.

aware of what is going around, so I can understand. It is a story of our

:00:53.:00:59.

times. Whereas in the beginning he would slap something up and not give

:01:00.:01:02.

it an awful lot of thought, I think this is thought`provoking.

:01:03.:01:06.

The artwork at the subject of a tug of war was removed from its home

:01:07.:01:10.

here on Tuesday, taken by a nearby youth club determined to sell it and

:01:11.:01:13.

use the cash to keep going. But police politely impounded the

:01:14.:01:16.

picture, even giving a receipt, and placed it in its new home while its

:01:17.:01:25.

ownership is established. I am not sure what will happen in the future

:01:26.:01:28.

about this. It is interesting that it has appeared within it and people

:01:29.:01:34.

are speculating on whether Banksy had an ulterior motive around it.

:01:35.:01:37.

That is not for me to say. Many Banksys have been defaced over the

:01:38.:01:41.

years. There's speculation that this near GCHQ in Cheltenham is another

:01:42.:01:50.

new work. It was finalised yesterday and then carefully cleaned by locals

:01:51.:01:54.

seem to love it already. This one at least seems safe from a similar

:01:55.:01:58.

fate. The artist held an exhibition at the same museum in 2009. It

:01:59.:02:02.

proved hugely popular with the public. Now, four years later,

:02:03.:02:04.

another Banksy on show here, although not everyone seems quite so

:02:05.:02:10.

excited. Police in Wiltshire are asking

:02:11.:02:13.

witnesses to come forward after a man's body was discovered in the

:02:14.:02:17.

water in Devizes. He was found shortly before seven this morning

:02:18.:02:21.

near to the Wharf. Officers want to hear from anyone who went on a boat

:02:22.:02:26.

on the canal last night. They're also keen to talk to anyone who was

:02:27.:02:30.

near The Lamb pub between one and two this morning.

:02:31.:02:35.

As a result of that death, the annual Devizes to Westminster Canoe

:02:36.:02:38.

Race had to be delayed. It's a gruelling challenge lasting up to

:02:39.:02:41.

four days, as Zoe Gough reports. Enthusiasts rank this among the

:02:42.:02:44.

toughest endurance events in the world. So a survival kit is vital

:02:45.:02:57.

and rigorously checked. We have seen in the past that they have bought

:02:58.:03:03.

kids Ultima clothes to keep the weight down in the boat. They try it

:03:04.:03:07.

but they did not get through. `` they have brought kids' clothes.

:03:08.:03:12.

More than 300 crews all facing up to 125 miles from picturesque Wiltshire

:03:13.:03:15.

to the choppy River Thames. I am nervous. That is an understatement.

:03:16.:03:19.

Police were still at the spot where a body was found as the race finally

:03:20.:03:23.

got under way. The oldest entrant leading them out. I am an old

:03:24.:03:32.

knacker. Hopefully I get a bit of a head start, yes? These paddlers have

:03:33.:03:37.

four days to cover the distance, tomorrow's racers will aim to do it

:03:38.:03:41.

in just one. Longleat Safari Park had to close

:03:42.:03:44.

for a short time this afternoon after a fire in its lion enclosure.

:03:45.:03:49.

A visitor's car overheated. The woman and two children inside had to

:03:50.:03:52.

be rescued by Rangers before it went up in flames. The lions were moved

:03:53.:03:58.

out of the area and nobody was hurt. Football, and Yeovil managed to hold

:03:59.:04:02.

on to a draw away at Blackburn but still remain at the bottom of the

:04:03.:04:07.

Championship. In League One, there were 2`1 victories for Swindon, who

:04:08.:04:11.

beat Coventry, and Bristol City, who saw off Notts County with a late

:04:12.:04:13.

goal. In League Two, Cheltenham lost to

:04:14.:04:16.

Fleetwood. Bristol Rovers play tomorrow. They

:04:17.:04:20.

have just four games left to avoid dropping out of the Football League.

:04:21.:04:24.

Rovers are only just above the League Two relegation zone. If they

:04:25.:04:29.

do go down, it will be the first time in their history that they've

:04:30.:04:34.

been relegated to the Conference. In rugby, Bristol can guarantee

:04:35.:04:37.

their position at the top of the Championship if they can beat second

:04:38.:04:42.

place London Welsh tonight. The Exiles are the only team Bristol

:04:43.:04:46.

haven't beaten this season. We'll bring you the results at 10pm.

:04:47.:04:52.

Let's find out now how the weather is looking for the rest of this bank

:04:53.:04:56.

holiday weekend. Ian Fergusson has our forecast.

:04:57.:05:01.

It is fine and try through this evening. That will lead into a

:05:02.:05:06.

chilly start for Saturday, but another decent day. ), but a fair

:05:07.:05:12.

bit of sunshine as well. Rain on the way from the East on Sunday and that

:05:13.:05:16.

will be heavy in places. A chilly night and it is under clear skies,

:05:17.:05:21.

so they could be widespread frost in the countryside. Temperatures of 1`3

:05:22.:05:24.

Celsius. A chilly start for Saturday morning. A fair amount of sunshine

:05:25.:05:30.

around, however. There will be a build`up of cloud from east, but it

:05:31.:05:33.

is still a bright day with sunny spells into the afternoon. Sunshine

:05:34.:05:38.

again, just a moderate breeze with temperatures up to 12 and 14 Celsius

:05:39.:05:44.

in the afternoon. Beyond that, Sunday will be a wet day. Rain

:05:45.:05:47.

arriving from the east. That would turn heavy in places. Some showers

:05:48.:05:51.

around on Monday. Have a great weekend.

:05:52.:05:55.

That is all from us for this evening. We are back the Ten O'Clock

:05:56.:05:59.

News. From Oliver sea, enjoy the rest of the sunshine if you can. ``

:06:00.:06:01.

from all of us here. Today we have seen temperatures

:06:02.:06:13.

rising if Scotland but again tonight, with the clear skies and

:06:14.:06:16.

light wind temperatures will fall sharply, and for many of us, we are

:06:17.:06:21.

looking at a touch of frost. The satellite picture tells a story

:06:22.:06:24.

nicely. This belt of cloud is sitting in the far north-west of

:06:25.:06:27.

Scotland, we have had this cloud bubbling up across eastern areas and

:06:28.:06:32.

with the northerly wind it has felt cold in East Anglia. That cloud is

:06:33.:06:35.

going to melt away, we will get an easterly breeze picking the cloud

:06:36.:06:38.

back in again later in the night in eastern areas and we still have this

:06:39.:06:42.

cloud and rain in the far north-west of Scotland, but for most we will

:06:43.:06:45.

have clear sky, light wind, Ness are the temperatures in towns and city,

:06:46.:06:48.

spin it round
