:02:16. > :02:23.first contact was made at noon, rescue workers dug this channel
:02:23. > :02:29.down to the apartment. The family of Azra, her mother and grandmother
:02:29. > :02:34.had been trapped underneath two sofas for the past 48 hours. One by

:02:43. > :02:48.badly. Since then the news has not been so bright. Many more bodies
:02:48. > :02:53.have been recovered from the same apartment building. Work is
:02:53. > :02:58.continuing their tonight. You can see the machinery digging away at
:02:58. > :03:04.the piles of rubble which those rescue teams have now cleared in
:03:04. > :03:09.terms of being clear of any live bodies. The equipment is pulling
:03:10. > :03:16.double a way and as bodies are recovered, rescue workers bring
:03:16. > :03:25.them down. At least three has been found in the past hour. The rescue
:03:25. > :03:31.work continues. We have heard at about an hour's drive away from
:03:31. > :03:34.here a ten-year-old boy was found in the rubble of his house. But
:03:34. > :03:42.despite the lift of finding three generations of one family, the rest

:03:45. > :03:54.The third day of this rescue operation began in the best

:04:09. > :04:14.born a month early. And then, two weeks into her life, she had only
:04:14. > :04:18.just escaped death. With the tiny baby now safely on its way to
:04:18. > :04:24.hospital, rescuers are working hard to bring out through the same small
:04:24. > :04:30.gap, its mother and grandmother, both of whom are still alive. In
:04:31. > :04:34.the crowd, sheltering from the cold and the rain, we found the baby's
:04:34. > :04:38.grandfather nervously waiting for news of his wife and daughter-in-

:04:42. > :04:47.earthquake struck my wife and daughter-in-law were with me, but

:05:36. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:41.the baby's grandmother, Sevim Yigit was also brought out alive. Azra is
:05:41. > :05:49.in an incubator and has been taken away for treatment at a specialist

:06:09. > :06:14.In the past couple of hours it has been hampered by a huge aftershock

:20:35. > :20:40.this is to be done, it must be done carefully, skilfully. In my world
:20:40. > :20:46.one does not write plays, people like you do. Congratulations, you

:20:56. > :20:59.
:20:59. > :21:04.book? To debate this I spoke to several Shakespeare specialists. I
:21:04. > :21:11.asked one if he believed the Bard wrote his masterpieces? I believe
:21:12. > :21:19.he had something to do with the plays but I do not believe he wrote
:21:19. > :21:24.all of the pieces contributed to him. There are a whole group of
:21:24. > :21:27.people who believe Sir Francis Bacon wrote the plays. Another
:21:27. > :21:32.group believe Sir Christopher Marlowe wrote the plays. I do not
:21:32. > :21:36.buy into those although I find their ideas interesting and unlike
:21:36. > :21:44.many people from Stratford upon- Avon I am quite happy to listen to
:21:44. > :21:50.what they have got to save. You are willing to agree to the thesis that
:21:50. > :21:58.all 37 plays are not written by the man known as William Shakespeare?
:21:58. > :22:08.am. And what do you make of it? Sniffing it is as ridiculous as the
:22:08. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:14.conspiracy theory it is supposed to be based on. It gives as an idea of
:22:14. > :22:22.someone who commits incest with the reigning monarch arc which I think
:22:22. > :22:27.is a strange way of championing him. Is there any proof? There is lots
:22:27. > :22:33.of proof that he did write some of the plays or had and in some of the
:22:33. > :22:38.plays. Around the edges there are lots of interesting gaps that allow
:22:38. > :22:43.people to question whether he did write the plays or not. A lot of
:22:43. > :22:49.that is to do with his lack of education. Many records suggest
:22:49. > :22:56.somebody else wrote one or two of the plates, such as Romeo and
:22:56. > :23:03.Juliet and Hamlet. If you put all the records together at areas a
:23:04. > :23:08.case for doubt or a discussion about doubt. The director of this
:23:08. > :23:13.film said that he thought there were two key reasons which made him
:23:13. > :23:19.think Shakespeare could not have written these plays. One was that
:23:19. > :23:28.his father was the literate and his daughters were illiterate and there
:23:28. > :23:35.are no letters in existence of from him. It is not odd that none has
:23:35. > :23:41.survived. A lot of documents from that period do not survive. Central
:23:41. > :23:46.London was wiped out by a fire 50 years after his death. Many people
:23:46. > :23:56.from his time did talk about how he had written these plays and how
:23:56. > :24:03.great he was. 200 years after he died suddenly people start saying
:24:03. > :24:09.these plays could only have been written by an aristocrat. I think
:24:09. > :24:13.people would have to work very hard to take this film at face value. It
:24:13. > :24:20.is one thing to make a film based on a ludicrous premise, what
:24:20. > :24:26.bothers me I think is the publicity material suggesting that you ought
:24:26. > :24:34.to see this film because it is based on fact. That does strike me
:24:34. > :24:39.as unethical and a by-election -- a violation of our responsibility to
:24:39. > :24:44.the past. I do not know why the Shakespeare Birth Trust are getting
:24:44. > :24:51.so worked up about it. If they are worried about historical fact and
:24:51. > :24:58.evidence they need only look at themselves. They are championing
:24:58. > :25:05.one portrayed as an accurate one of Shakespeare's when their chairman,
:25:05. > :25:11.before he became chairman, said that was ludicrous. Yet it is on
:25:11. > :25:16.their publicity material when there is no evidence for that being him.
:25:17. > :25:21.I do not work for that organisation and I do not agree with that
:25:21. > :25:26.portrait being him either but I do by the plays of William Shakespeare
:25:26. > :25:31.as being written by William Shakespeare. I cannot understand by
:25:31. > :25:39.the same token you did not get worked up about Shakespeare in Love
:25:39. > :25:49.which is ludicrous and fictional. That is true, a lot of people to
:25:49. > :25:56.
:25:56. > :26:03.that film at face value. I think this row could run and run. Thank
