Obama visit to Globe

US President Barack Obama has visited a theatre dedicated to the work of William Shakespeare on his final day in London.

Saturday marks the 400th anniversary of the playwright's death and he is being celebrated throughout the UK.
The Globe theatre is a replica of the circular, open-air playhouse that Shakespeare designed in 1599.
Mr Obama watched a brief performance of a portion of Hamlet, including the famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy.
The scenes were performed by actors from a company of 16, who embarked on a two-year world tour in 2014 playing to more than 100,000 people in 197 countries.
Obama described the performance as "wonderful".
As the US President toured the open-air theatre, he spent several minutes looking at the structure and asking questions about the seating and performances.

Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe, said: "At the end of an extraordinary journey all around the world, it is great to return home to the Globe, and to be able to perform a few scenes and to be welcomed back by President Barack Obama.
"The spirit of 'Yes we can' has informed the entire tour, and it's an honour to meet the man who coined the phrase, and who exemplifies its spirit."
The US President made the trip before a visit to London's Royal Horticultural Halls where he urged young people to "reject pessimism and cynicism" and "know that progress is possible and problems can be solved".
Throughout the day on Saturday, Shakespeare's Globe will be screening short films of every one of Shakespeare's 37 plays on giant screens along the banks of the Thames, between Tower Bridge and Westminster. They are all classified as "U" apart from Pericles, which is a PG.
The films feature actors delivering their lines in the locations where the plays are set - such as Cleopatra in Egypt, Julius Caesar in the Roman Forum and Hamlet at Elsinore.
Among the star names involved in the project, entitled The Complete Walk, are Gemma Arterton, Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, James Norton, Zawe Ashton and Peter Capaldi.

David Tennant will host a BBC celebration on Saturday night live from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The event will be attended by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Performers at Shakespeare Live - which begins on BBC Two at 20:30 BST - will include Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Helen Mirren and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Other names on the bill include Rory Kinnear, Meera Syal, Joseph Fiennes, David Suchet, Simon Russell Beale, Roger Allam, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Harriet Walter, John Lithgow, Anne-Marie Duff and the cast of Horrible Histories.

As well as theatrical performances, the show will feature hip-hop, blues, jazz, opera and classical music that has been inspired by Shakespeare's plays.
Celebrations in Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon began with a parade of people in Shakespearean costume earlier.
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit the site of the playwright's adult home for 19 years - now being transformed into a tourist attraction called Shakespeare's New Place, and due to open to the public in July. They will also go to see his grave, situated at Holy Trinity Church.
