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.
