:04:53. > :05:00.to him for professional care and support. Such abuse of his position

:05:01. > :05:02.and way he concealed his offences is reprehensible.

:08:33. > :08:37.your door you do not know what you your door you do not know what you

:08:38. > :08:43.are going to see. Some of the young people are very worried. But after

:08:44. > :08:52.they have had a shower, something to eat, and some sleep they are

:08:53. > :08:57.different people. Hosts will get expenses to cover any costs. If

:08:58. > :09:04.there are trouble `` if there is any trouble, help is not far away. You

:09:05. > :09:13.just have to give young people a chance. They are seeing a rise in

:09:14. > :09:20.young people with no place to stay, with experts blaming economic

:09:21. > :09:24.downturn. First we tried to see we can work with families and young

:09:25. > :09:29.people to get them to return home. But for some people, it is not safe

:09:30. > :09:43.for them to return home. Jess is staying in emergency accommodation.

:09:44. > :09:48.Jess regard the room as a bridge to somewhere better. It is very

:09:49. > :09:59.stressful. Thankfully, I have support here to help me. Fingers

:10:00. > :10:08.crossed? Yes. It helps you find employment to. 16`18 `year`olds

:10:24. > :10:26.Today, British ministers announced a ?10 million programme to test

:10:27. > :10:29.similar cars here ` and three cities will be chosen as the test bed.

:10:30. > :10:32.So, will we see them on Bristol streets?

:10:33. > :10:34.One man who thinks we should is Professor Joe McGeehan from

:10:35. > :10:42.Professor McGeehan, you also lead the Local Enterprise Partnership's

:10:43. > :10:57.We need to increase the capacity of our roads. We need to increase the

:10:58. > :11:04.amount of traffic that the roads will take. This is a very good way

:11:05. > :11:13.of doing it. Is that because they think together? Yes. You know what

:11:14. > :11:24.is going in and out. The trouble is that it is always going to be both

:11:25. > :11:36.driverless and drive cars at the start? Yes. But perhaps people will

:11:37. > :11:42.drive to the outskirts of cities and then change into a driverless car.

:11:43. > :11:47.If we get this trial in Bristol, what will happen if a child is

:11:48. > :11:52.killed? The problem is not the technology. I believe the technology

:11:53. > :11:58.is firm. We have to get the government to look at the

:11:59. > :12:04.legislation, because there are still problems there. That is going to

:12:05. > :12:12.take time. I think we have some pictures of some driverless

:12:13. > :12:19.vehicles. These are actually throw. But you are not talking about

:12:20. > :12:31.vehicles like this? No. It will be more like a normal car. Big

:12:32. > :12:49.companies are involved, like BMW. My Bristol? `` my Bristol? It has very

:12:50. > :13:00.good broadband and good technology. It also has a strength in robotics.

:13:01. > :13:07.The city is going fast `` the city is growing fast. Do you think it is

:13:08. > :13:15.the future? I do. But I like driving. Well you can drive to the

:13:16. > :13:23.city and then change to a driverless vehicle. Thank you.

:13:24. > :13:26.It has been the story that just has not gone

:13:27. > :13:29.away, but tonight we have heard that the saga of the Cheltenham Banksy

:13:30. > :13:33.Campaigners trying to buy the Spy Booth mural have announced in

:13:34. > :13:37.the last half hour that the deal to keep it in the town is almost done.

:13:38. > :13:45.Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs, has the details.

:13:46. > :13:56.Here we are at the Banksy. We can tell you tonight that a deal is

:13:57. > :14:10.nearly done to keep the mural in Cheltenham. What can you tell us? We

:14:11. > :14:16.are very excited. Cheltenham is staying `` Banksy is staying in

:14:17. > :14:20.Cheltenham. Are you sure that you are giving the money to the correct

:14:21. > :14:35.person? Absolutely. We have looked into this and we are sure. We have

:14:36. > :14:42.heard figures up to ?1 million. How much have you put in? We have

:14:43. > :14:46.decided not to mention figures at this stage because it may jeopardise

:14:47. > :14:52.the purchase. That is the secret for now. Why did you want to spend so

:14:53. > :15:02.much money keeping this in Cheltenham? I believe that people in

:15:03. > :15:09.Cheltenham love it. Many people have come into the town. I drive past it

:15:10. > :15:14.every day. There are always people here taking photographs. I have

:15:15. > :15:23.spoken to people who have come from Oxford and Devon who have come to

:15:24. > :15:30.see the mural. Once the deal is done, this will stay here? As far as

:15:31. > :15:45.we know. It will stay here on the whole for Cheltenham. `` the wall.

:15:46. > :15:53.Thank you. Apologies for the sound problems.

:15:54. > :15:56.A new baby in the family always causes a bit

:15:57. > :15:59.Particularly if it is the first time for the parents.
