00:16 So our top story this week is that a 16 year old has tragically died after he was stabbed
00:22 in St. Philip's in Bristol on Wednesday evening. Police were called by the ambulance service
00:29 about 6 o'clock following the report where they found the boy had been injured on West
00:35 Street. Despite the efforts of emergency services, he sadly died at the scene after being attacked
00:41 by two people wearing masks. This is of course the latest in a number of stabbing attacks
00:48 across Bristol this year.
00:50 Okay, so that's an awful one for the city this week then. Shall we move on to our second
00:57 top story in the city? Tell me about that.
01:01 Yes, so moving on to a lighter note and that work is now underway to open a new multi-level
01:09 bar in Bristol city centre. So Goldbrick House is due to open on Park Street at the start
01:16 of March.
01:17 Thank you, Charlie. So that was an exciting one for the city this week. Shall we move
01:22 on to our third top story? Tell me about that.

01:47 and it opened in September last year.
01:51 Thank you, Charlie. So shall we move on to our fourth top story in the city this week?
01:56 Tell me about that.
01:58 Yes, so our next story is good news for pastry lovers, which is that a Gregg's has reopened
02:10 more than three months after it closed. So the bakery and cafe in Broadwalk shopping
02:16 centre in Knoll shut down at the end of October for what was described as a temporary closure
02:22 at the time. And it took it this long.
02:27 That's an exciting one for the city then this week. So shall we move on to our fifth and
02:33 final top story in Bristol? Tell me about that.
02:36 We can. So our top story is we have an update about the campaign to save a former historic
