Hey, it's Leah, with your afternoon Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
What the only surviving handwritten William Shakespeare | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
I'm Kevin, and I've just won the boys, and you're watching newsround. | :00:11. | :00:26. | |
First, the Easter holidays are over and many kids went | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
back to school today, but over 7,000 of you | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
haven't been able to get back in the classroom. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
It's because of fears that some school buildings | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
The problems were discovered when the side of this school | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Edinburgh Council has now closed 17 schools, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
all built by the same company, until they can each be | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
inspected to make sure they're safe for students. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
It's quite disruptive, because we need to finish | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
to do assessments, and they were meant to be | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
happening this week, but | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
The only surviving play script to have William Shakespeare's | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
at the British Library in London this week - | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Even though it was written centuries ago - he talks about an issue that's | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
still making the headlines today: migrants and refugees. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
People want to come to the UK for lots of different reasons. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Some people are looking for better jobs, | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Today, it's an issue for a lot of people, | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Shakespeare was inspired to write this script because of the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
way refugees and migrants were being treated. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
In Shakespeare's time, there were riots in London. | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Some people were angry about refugees and | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
migrants coming to live here from abroad. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
They were worried that it would mean fewer jobs are places to | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Zoe Wilcox from the British library thinks there are similarities today. | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
So, can you tell me what was happening back then? | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
There were lots of people who were leaving Europe, | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
people were being killed for their religious beliefs in much | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
the same way that people are today leaving | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Syria because IS are killing people for their religious beliefs. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Why did some people not want migrants and | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
People were worried that their jobs might | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
be at risk from the increase opposition from people coming in | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
And what message was he tried to get across? | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
The character is asking the rioters to stop and think | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
and understand what the refugees might be going through. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
What country by the nature of your error | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
So, Zoe, this is Shakespeare's only surviving | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
It's quite complicated to understand. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
"Would you be pleased to find a nation of such | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
"in hideous violence would not afford you an abode on earth?" | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
So, the character is speaking to the rioters, and he is | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
saying "how would you feel if you were forced to leave your home | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
"country and you weren't able to find a safe place to live?" | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
You would then become strangers in your own land. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
The issue of refugees and migrants coming | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
here worries some people when | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
it comes to things like jobs, houses, and religious beliefs. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
In the 17th century, Shakespeare felt | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
passionately in support of the migrants, | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
People are still debating the same issue today. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Now, were you one of the millions of people who watched Kevin Simm win | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
He popped into Newsround HQ earlier to tell us all about what he got up | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
to during his first 24 hours as a champion. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
I'll be honest, I haven't been on my phone | :03:55. | :04:13. | |
I left my phone in the dressing room and | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
then when I came back to its there was like 300 messages, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
and my mind was just like totally fried, so | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
apart from like ringing my wife, just to say that I was coming home, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
The first thing I said was that I loved them | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
The first thing I ate after the show was a bag of sweets. | :04:37. | :04:49. | |
The first thing Ricky said to me was congratulations, | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back on CBBC tomorrow morning. | :04:56. | :05:00. |
