for a united church. And that's all from me. On BBC One,

it is time for the news where you are. Good night.

Good evening. A woman from Jamaica who was initially denied entry to

Britain has arrived in London to doate a kidney to her brothdr. The

Home Office originally refused Keisha Rushton a visa, belidving she

may not return home after the operation. Her brother has

criticised the Home Office for the lack of compassion shown in the

case. She is here to potenthally save his life.

But a week ago, Keisha Rushton was considered untrustworthy by the Home

Office. Officials believed that if they let her come to London to

donate a kidney to her brother in Stoke Newington, she might not

leave. Keisha Rushton says her intention has always been vdry

clear. No, I don't don't want to stay here forever. The reason being,

I have my family back home. My mum, she's actually sick and I love her

and I have my kids ` seven of them and my fiance. We all have ` life

there. I want to go back hole. This is two... Her brother could die

without the transplant. He needs daily dialysis and hasn't bden able

to work as a plumber for two years. He's on the waiting list for a

kidney, which is not likely to become available for years, if at

all. He is relieved his sister is finally here. He feels the Home

Office has a lot to explain. The Home Office is talking about

compassion ` they are not compassionate. If they were

compassionate, on the grounds where they knew the reason why shd was

coming, still they got it wrong She should have been here since last

year and should have been b`ck home. Tonight, the Home Office sahd:

Medical tests for the kidnex transplant between the siblhngs

Some would argue Shakespeard is Britain's greatest export. Today, a

ship set sail from Tower Brhdge to take the playwright's work to every

country on Earth. For the ndxt two years actors from the Globe theatre

will perform Hamlet. Anjana Gadgil watched them set off.

Casting off on a two`year tour. The Globe theatre is taking Hamlet

overseas. It is going furthdr than any play has been before. Wd are

able to sail off from here, in London, down the Thames, out across

the North Sea to the port of Amsterdam and that is the bdginning

of the world tour of Hamlet and by world, I mean world, we are going to

every country on the planet. As well as travelling by tall ship, they

have lined up planes, jeeps and camels. They will perform in village

squares and on beaches. Shakespeare's 450th birthdax has

been marked all week here in London, with readings and plays being

performed in unusual places. I knew him... And thanks tho an idea

by `` thanks to an idea of ` director, the cast of Hamlet is

following in the wake of Shakespeare's touring actors through

the centuries. The globe has a tradition of touring shows. In

Shakespeare's time they went as far as Norway. There is a tradition of

touring Shakespeare. Dominic's idea was to take that one step ftrther

and take it around the entire world. They expect to perform 300 times in

more than 200 countries, pioneers for Shakespeare's works across the

globe. A look at the weather now whth

Wendy. If you saw some of the showdrs this
