:13:02. > :13:11.It is a mixture of language, beautiful beautiful images but also
:13:12. > :13:18.unforgettable images. It is the combination of that and his giant
:13:19. > :13:23.portrait of mankind. He shows absolutely everything there is about
:13:24. > :13:28.us, the good, the bad, the strong, the week and he does it in the most
:13:29. > :13:35.compassionate and loving way. But you don't have to be an actor to be
:13:36. > :13:41.touched by the Bard. Most of us don't realise we use Shakespearean
:13:42. > :13:47.language in everyday speech. You are a sorry sight! That is rude
:13:48. > :13:52.but he is quoting Shakespeare. You are taking for ever and a day.
:13:53. > :13:55.So is she. All is well that ends well.
:13:56. > :13:58.Yes, that is Shakespeare. Beyond the market, the world truely is
:13:59. > :14:01.Shakespeare's stage. In 2012 The Globe Theatre in London put with 38
:14:02. > :14:05.productions in 38 languages, There's no denying it, Shakespeare is not
:14:06. > :14:14.just for the theatre and thespians, Shakespeare is ours.
:14:15. > :14:20.Shakespeare isn't just for the theatre and thespians. Shakespeare
:14:21. > :14:32.is ours and there is no denying it. There was a major Shakespeare
:14:33. > :14:44.conference taking place in France. I am joined by Paul in Paris. How come
:14:45. > :14:48.you are in France? Well, the Shakespeare Centre is used to
:14:49. > :14:53.welcoming people from all over the world during the year but our good
:14:54. > :14:57.friends at the Society of Shakespeare and France have gathered
:14:58. > :15:01.hundreds to celebrate the anniversary year with a major
:15:02. > :15:04.international conference. It is absolutely fascinating. We have had
:15:05. > :15:08.talks on Shakespeare in the First World War, the French were our
:15:09. > :15:16.allies of course and this morning a group of us scholars met to discuss
:15:17. > :15:21.Shakespeare's friends and colleagues so Stratford upon over and kept
:15:22. > :15:25.popping up in France. And you will take Shakespeare on the
:15:26. > :15:29.road in the summer in July to North America.
:15:30. > :15:35.Yes, we have partnered with the University of Warwick and we will
:15:36. > :15:40.travel 10,000 miles across 25 states visiting 14 Shakespeare festivals
:15:41. > :15:45.around the States and North America. These are groups of people who are
:15:46. > :15:52.making Shakespeare live year in, year out for their communities and
:15:53. > :15:55.we want to start conversations and map the sense of Shakespeare across
:15:56. > :16:02.America and they are invited to deposit records in the archives for
:16:03. > :16:05.posterity so when people look back and say what worthy anniversary
:16:06. > :16:10.years like previously, we will have a sense of what Shakespeare in
:16:11. > :16:15.America was like at that time. It is a huge project. Walking around
:16:16. > :16:22.Stratford, I have had French, German, Swedish, Japanese, what is
:16:23. > :16:29.the international appeal? Well, it is his great power of
:16:30. > :16:34.storytelling, the way different people translate him into their own
:16:35. > :16:40.language and it is the way people feel close to Shakespeare, connected
:16:41. > :16:43.with the way he views the world and phrases things so we decided to take
:16:44. > :16:48.Shakespeare on the road around the United States as a 450th birthday
:16:49. > :17:04.celebration. Enjoy the celebrations. Thank you for joining us. That is it

:17:10. > :17:11.Cancer Trust. Nineteen`year`old Stephen Sutton from Burntwood in
:17:12. > :17:15.Staffordshire tweeted what appeared to be a goodbye message and photo
:17:16. > :17:17.from hospital yesterday ` after his tweet donations dramatically
:17:18. > :17:26.increased Smashing Stephen's million pound fundraising target. Jon Brain
:17:27. > :17:30.reports. He has a smile on his face but Stephen Sutton says this picture
:17:31. > :17:34.is this final farewell to the world. A world he's leaving ?1 million
:17:35. > :17:39.better off. On his Facebook page he says it is a final thumbs up from
:17:40. > :17:43.me. I have done well to blag things as well as I have, but unfortunately
:17:44. > :17:50.I think this is to one hurdle too far. Diagnosed with terminal
:17:51. > :17:54.cancer, the teenager decided to turn his plight into something positive
:17:55. > :18:00.and raise money for charity by completing a wish list. The crowd
:18:01. > :18:08.surfed in a dinghy, went skydiving, played the drums in front of 90,000
:18:09. > :18:11.people in Wembley, met and an offence and got a tad too.
:18:12. > :18:16.I don't do it for recognition, I like nice comments but I do this
:18:17. > :18:23.because the best way to help myself is to help others. I'm proud the
:18:24. > :18:29.feeling. The story has attracted the attention of celebrities like
:18:30. > :18:34.Russell Brand, Roger Daughtry and Frank Lampard. It raises the profile
:18:35. > :18:38.of the campaign further. Breaking the million pound barrier has helped
:18:39. > :18:49.faces situation, he says that is it for me, life has been good. Very
:18:50. > :18:55.good. Earlier I spoke to the director of fundraising at the
:18:56. > :19:01.Teenage Cancer Trust. We are overwhelmed the target has been hit
:19:02. > :19:06.and in the time. It speaks so highly of Stephen's ability to inspire
:19:07. > :19:09.people but also a huge chance for us to say thank you to everyone who has
:19:10. > :19:13.got involved because it wouldn't have happened without thousands and
:19:14. > :19:21.thousands of people text in or going online to give. Stephen made a huge
:19:22. > :19:25.impression on people in the office. You have met him, how do you
:19:26. > :19:30.describe him? Remarkably calm, down to earth,
:19:31. > :19:39.determined. I would never want to say no to Stephen. When I first
:19:40. > :19:47.spoke to him after he secured a remarkable donation from corporate
:19:48. > :19:52.supporters at their dinner, it was a donation of ?400,000 and I phoned
:19:53. > :19:58.him to thank him and I was overwhelmed. Stephen was just calm
:19:59. > :20:03.and said, yes, it is a good start. He is a really really remarkable
:20:04. > :20:07.young man. A leaked report suggesting six
:20:08. > :20:09.Birmingham schools are to be put in special measures because of concerns
:20:10. > :20:12.over alleged Muslim extremism has been condemned by the council
:20:13. > :20:15.leader. The Daily Telegraph and its sister title The Sunday Telegraph
:20:16. > :20:19.claimed Ofsted is taking the action. It has inspected a number of schools
:20:20. > :20:22.accused of being part of a so called Trojan Horse plot to influence
:20:23. > :20:28.teaching methods. But the findings aren't due to be published until
:20:29. > :20:32.next month. Of course Shakespeare's birthday is also St George's Day and
:20:33. > :20:35.there was a special Citizenship Ceremony in Dudley today. One of the
:20:36. > :20:38.20 people becoming British today was Jeanette Tranter, who despite living
:20:39. > :20:41.in Kingswinford for more than 50 years, was actually born in
:20:42. > :20:44.Colorado, after her mother met an American GI. Joanne Writtle followed
:20:45. > :20:54.her journey to dual citizenship and her report contains some flash
:20:55. > :20:59.photography. This is my parents on their wedding day. Jeanette
:21:00. > :21:05.Tranter's mothered an American GI in 1945. Emigrating to his remit farm
:21:06. > :21:12.in Colorado was a culture shock. No electricity on the farm, if she
:21:13. > :21:19.wanted food, chickens, she would go out, kill a chicken, pluck it and
:21:20. > :21:24.cook it. She churned her own butter. She felt homesick at times
:21:25. > :21:28.and that is when my brother was born. And then my second brother was
:21:29. > :21:34.born and then a six`year gap until I was. Eventually, because of
:21:35. > :21:39.unforeseen circumstances, my father committed suicide and my mother
:21:40. > :21:46.could not run the farm by herself. And so very sadly she sold
:21:47. > :21:51.everything up and we came back to England. This is the American
:21:52. > :21:58.passport Ginette and her brothers travelled with. Six years ago, their
:21:59. > :22:02.mother died here, Jeanette has made Kingswinford for home. Today, 60
:22:03. > :22:06.years after arriving in Britain, Jeanette is about to become a
:22:07. > :22:11.British citizen at a ceremony at deadly register office. Until my
:22:12. > :22:17.mother died, it was difficult because she was so proud of us being
:22:18. > :22:24.American and so I felt as though I had the go`ahead after she died and
:22:25. > :22:29.also I have lived here most of my life. I am British really. Ginette
:22:30. > :22:36.was among 20 to achieve citizenship today. A day she has waited many
:22:37. > :22:44.years to celebrate. Absolutely brilliant. Really good. What would
:22:45. > :22:56.your mum think? Oh, she would be really proud. Yes. A good place to
:22:57. > :22:59.be. Let's head back to Stratford`upon`Avon for the weather.
:23:00. > :23:05.Shefali is in the gardens at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. I am
:23:06. > :23:08.taking shelter, not the best day to be outdoors but it is this sort of
:23:09. > :23:13.weather, moody and atmospheric that has been the inspiration for poets
:23:14. > :23:16.and writers the world over, not least Shakespeare whose works have
:23:17. > :23:20.been littered with references from Forgan filthy air to winds that
:23:21. > :23:24.crack your cheeks. The folk we may seem soon enough but the wind we
:23:25. > :23:28.must wait for one to the weekend when things become increasingly
:23:29. > :23:35.unsettled. Looking at the pressure chart, we can see a front straddling
:23:36. > :23:39.the country containing a narrow area of rain. It is moving quite rapidly
:23:40. > :23:43.so it should be out of the way fairly quickly but looking at the
:23:44. > :23:50.timing, we are just about into the thick of things right now. Because
:23:51. > :23:55.it is fairly quick moving eastwards it will be concentrated but out of
:23:56. > :23:58.the way quite quickly. By the latter part of tonight, looking much drier
:23:59. > :24:04.with clever spells, fairly widespread mist and fog developing
:24:05. > :24:11.in low`lying areas. There could be problems by the morning. Be aware of
:24:12. > :24:16.that. The temperatures are down to six or seven Celsius. Miss dinners
:24:17. > :24:20.and murkiness tomorrow, that will lift into brightness and sunny
:24:21. > :24:24.spells by the afternoon, largely dry conditions but we are looking at
:24:25. > :24:32.potent and sharp showers `` mistiness. 14 or 15 Celsius. The
:24:33. > :24:37.showers will gradually start to fade tomorrow night, looking a lot drier
:24:38. > :24:42.than tonight and clear spells with temperatures dipping to around six
:24:43. > :24:46.or seven Celsius. For the rest of the week, Friday, things go
:24:47. > :24:51.downhill, deteriorating through the weekend with prolonged rainfall,
:24:52. > :24:59.windy conditions and temperatures pegged back to 13 Celsius. That is
:25:00. > :25:03.it from here. Over to Nick. A few want to get involved in the
:25:04. > :25:06.celebrations for the 450th anniversary here in Stratford, the
:25:07. > :25:09.main focus will be this weekend. On Saturday, crowds will be lining the
:25:10. > :25:11.streets to see actors, foreign diplomats and civic dignitaries lead
:25:12. > :25:14.the 1,000`strong grand Birthday Procession from 1030. And on Sunday,
:25:15. > :25:30.it's the Shakespeare Marathon from the town centre from 9am, with 3,700
:25:31. > :25:55.runners on the start line. Good night, good night.
:25:56. > :25:57.'The last two generations have been robbed
:25:58. > :25:59.'of an opportunity to vote on the EU.
:26:00. > :26:02.'And yet it has a greater impact on our everyday lives
:26:03. > :26:08.'and not leave it for another generation.'
:26:09. > :26:12.I want a Britain that is free to control its own destiny.
