:00:00. > :00:00.A victory for common sense - or a recipe for disaster?

:00:07. > :00:10.The High Court rules a father was allowed to take his daughter out

:00:11. > :00:15.The father celebrates the verdict but the local council warns it

:00:16. > :00:18.could cause chaos in schools and damage children's grades.

:00:19. > :00:23.Obviously, I'm absolutely delighted with the outcome of this case,

:00:24. > :00:26.as will hundreds of thousands of parents across England,

:00:27. > :00:29.who have had to live with this draconian situation.

:00:30. > :00:31.Clearly shown in court was a link between educational

:00:32. > :00:36.So my worry is that those children who are taken out of school

:00:37. > :00:41.We'll be asking what this means for parents in England planning

:00:42. > :00:50.The gloves are off: Sir John Major tells senior Tories they should be

:00:51. > :00:52.ashamed and embarrassed by their fearmongering over the EU.

:00:53. > :00:57.The EU deal with Turkey slows the flow of people for now -

:00:58. > :01:03.A special report on the legal synthetic drugs driving a huge

:01:04. > :01:06.increase in addiction among young people.

:01:10. > :01:13.about her new film and being a woman director in Hollywood.

:01:14. > :01:16.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News.

:01:17. > :01:19.Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton battle it out in the first

:01:20. > :01:43.leg of the Championship play-off semifinals.

:01:44. > :01:48.Judges have ruled in favour of a father who refused to pay

:01:49. > :01:51.a fine for taking his daughter out of school for a week's holiday.

:01:52. > :01:54.Jon Platt from the Isle of Wight was fined ?120

:01:55. > :01:56.when he took his six-year-old to Disney World in Florida

:01:57. > :02:01.But the High Court has decided that because the child did

:02:02. > :02:04.attend school regularly - despite her unauthorised holiday -

:02:05. > :02:10.The ruling could have implications for parents across England.

:02:11. > :02:17.One father's decision to take his daughter on a term-time

:02:18. > :02:21.holiday to Disney World in Florida led to this courtroom battle.

:02:22. > :02:24.Jon Platt refused to pay the fine imposed by his local council,

:02:25. > :02:34.and two High Court judges have ruled in his favour.

:02:35. > :02:37.Obviously, I'm absolutely delighted with the outcome of this case,

:02:38. > :02:39.as will hundreds of thousands of parents across England,

:02:40. > :02:41.who have had to live with this draconian situation,

:02:42. > :02:44.where taking their kids on a family holiday amounted to

:02:45. > :02:49.Jon Platt won the first round of his battle when magistrates

:02:50. > :02:52.ruled his daughter had attended school regularly.

:02:53. > :02:55.But the Isle of Wight Council took it further, and today's case centred

:02:56. > :02:57.on the Education Act, and what the term

:02:58. > :03:06.And the two sides were still at loggerheads after the hearing ended.

:03:07. > :03:09.I think the Department of Education and schooling in this country

:03:10. > :03:12.We simply don't know what the situation is.

:03:13. > :03:17.When can you take your child out of school?

:03:18. > :03:19.Should you be able to take your child out of school

:03:20. > :03:24.As I say, it has been clearly shown that there is a link between

:03:25. > :03:27.And that link has not apparently been accepted by the court

:03:28. > :03:30.and I fear massive disruption to schooling across the country.

:03:31. > :03:33.The thing that stops parents taking their children out of school,

:03:34. > :03:36.Jonathan, is not the fear of your ?60 truancy penalty notice.

:03:37. > :03:39.It is the fear of the damage they will do to their

:03:40. > :03:42.That is the restraining factor on parents.

:03:43. > :03:44.They are smart. They can work this out themselves.

:03:45. > :03:47.They know, "If I pull my kids out of school every time we go

:03:48. > :03:50.on holiday in term time, and their attendance falls to 70%,

:03:51. > :03:53.60%, my child is going to suffer", so they don't do that.

:03:54. > :03:55.Teachers in England can only grant term-time absence

:03:56. > :04:01.Parents face a ?60 fine for unauthorised leave.

:04:02. > :04:05.Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own rules,

:04:06. > :04:09.which include financial penalties in some cases.

:04:10. > :04:14.64,000 fines were imposed in one year alone.

:04:15. > :04:17.At this Birmingham school, the headteacher fears more families

:04:18. > :04:22.Some parents will think "Well, it happened for this gentleman,

:04:23. > :04:31.It gives them the green light for that, and that's not OK.

:04:32. > :04:33.I think something should be done with the travel agents,

:04:34. > :04:37.It is the travel agents that cause the high costs

:04:38. > :04:42.I think it is a victory for parents and a welcome decision.

:04:43. > :04:45.I hope it sets a wonderful president for the UK.

:04:46. > :04:48.I certainly believe it is up to the individual parent to decide

:04:49. > :04:52.what is a good education for their child.

:04:53. > :04:55.One man's legal battle may have been won in the High Court today,

:04:56. > :04:59.but tonight, the Department for Education is saying that

:05:00. > :05:02.attendance at school is non-negotiable.

:05:03. > :05:04.It is already looking to change the law.

:05:05. > :05:09.And that will include new guidance for schools and local authorities.

:05:10. > :05:24.Is that it, the green light for parents to take their kids out of

:05:25. > :05:27.school? I think it would be, frankly, chaos if you had lots of

:05:28. > :05:31.parents taking children out in the middle term time for two or three

:05:32. > :05:35.weeks holiday against the express wishes of headteachers and that is

:05:36. > :05:38.why, we have heard, the Department for Education, no surprise, is

:05:39. > :05:42.looking to change the law as quickly as possible. The issue for

:05:43. > :05:48.government, or they say it is, is the welfare of the child, to make

:05:49. > :05:50.sure they get a good enough education to achieve their full

:05:51. > :05:52.potential. They have published research which suggests that even

:05:53. > :05:56.seven days out of school in a year can have a big impact on the quality

:05:57. > :05:59.of the GCSE results the child gets. It is not just the welfare of a

:06:00. > :06:03.child going to Disney World rather than being in double chemistry.

:06:04. > :06:06.Actually, it is the welfare of all the other children in the class

:06:07. > :06:11.because the teacher has to help the ones who have been away catch up and

:06:12. > :06:14.it disrupts lessons. The government has decided that family holidays are

:06:15. > :06:25.not exceptional circumstances that justify taking a child out of

:06:26. > :06:28.school. But this is an argument you will find in countries all over the

:06:29. > :06:31.world, the same issue applies. In France, if you want to take your

:06:32. > :06:34.child out of school, you may have to go to the headteacher and get

:06:35. > :06:36.permission you may have to get the Tamil and get bureaucrats to agree,

:06:37. > :06:39.you may even have to go to the police to get a special visa to take

:06:40. > :06:41.your child overseas. Many jurisdictions have different

:06:42. > :06:43.sanctions but all over the world, too, you will find many parents

:06:44. > :06:45.arguing the state should not be telling them when they can take a

:06:46. > :06:47.family holiday. Thank you for joining us.

:06:48. > :06:50.Sir John Major has launched a stinging attack on senior

:06:51. > :06:52.Conservatives heading the campaign to leave the EU.

:06:53. > :06:54.The former Tory Prime Minister said the Justice Secretary Michael Gove

:06:55. > :06:57.should be embarrassed and ashamed of his anti-EU rhetoric.

:06:58. > :06:59.And he called on Boris Johnson and former Cabinet minister

:07:00. > :07:03.Iain Duncan-Smith to apologise for peddling false figures.

:07:04. > :07:06.The Leave campaign responded the public will decide

:07:07. > :07:08.whether to stay in the EU, not politicians.

:07:09. > :07:15.He's a big name making a big intervention.

:07:16. > :07:18.With less than six weeks until the vote, the former

:07:19. > :07:25.Prime Minister has a warning for the Conservatives on the EU.

:07:26. > :07:29.A quarter of a century ago, it bitterly divided my party.

:07:30. > :07:32.And making his own case for staying in the EU,

:07:33. > :07:38.he attacked claims made by Tory colleagues.

:07:39. > :07:42.Boris Johnson, the former Cabinet minister Iain Duncan-Smith, and the

:07:43. > :07:44.Justice Secretary Michael Gove, that leaving the EU could

:07:45. > :07:50.Those who make such demonstrably false claims, knowingly

:07:51. > :07:53.do so, need to apologise that they have got their figures so badly

:07:54. > :08:00.wrong and stop peddling a clear-cut untruth.

:08:01. > :08:03.And he warned colleagues who he says are raising fear and prejudice

:08:04. > :08:05.with their arguments over immigration, that it's

:08:06. > :08:15.Some of the Brexit leaders morph into Ukip and turn to their default

:08:16. > :08:29.This is dangerous territory that if handled carelessly, can open up

:08:30. > :08:35.This is a significant intervention from the

:08:36. > :08:43.He's naming people with ambitions to one day

:08:44. > :08:49.lead the Conservative party as reckless, and as this

:08:50. > :08:51.referendum campaign goes on the Tory on Tory attacks

:08:52. > :08:55.The question - how united can and will the party be

:08:56. > :08:58.We have this week had the official statistics

:08:59. > :09:00.showing a massive underestimate in the amount of immigration

:09:01. > :09:05.I think it would be irresponsible not to be talking

:09:06. > :09:10.about that, because there are issues people care about.

:09:11. > :09:14.The pressure on jobs and wages, the impact on the NHS and housing.

:09:15. > :09:15.He rarely makes interventions, but this decision he

:09:16. > :09:18.says is final, and he'll be hoping people are listening.

:09:19. > :09:20.Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster.

:09:21. > :09:25.Another powerful voice arguing today for the UK to remain

:09:26. > :09:28.in the EU was the head of the International Monetary Fund.

:09:29. > :09:30.Christine Lagarde warned it could be at least "pretty bad",

:09:31. > :09:33.and at worst, "very, very bad" if the UK pulls out.

:09:34. > :09:36.She said it would hit British growth, investment and house prices.

:09:37. > :09:38.Vote Leave campaigners say the IMF has been wrong before

:09:39. > :09:45.about the British economy and is wrong again.

:09:46. > :09:46.Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed reports.

:09:47. > :09:48.Step-by-step, the government believes the economic

:09:49. > :09:54.Today, another expert and another grim warning.

:09:55. > :09:57.A particular welcome to Christine Lagarde and her team.

:09:58. > :10:01.The IMF argued house prices could fall, borrowing costs

:10:02. > :10:04.increase, and the government may have to raise taxes and cut

:10:05. > :10:09.I asked Christine Lagarde for the outlook if Britain

:10:10. > :10:14.The consequences would be negative, if the UK was to leave

:10:15. > :10:28.Less growth means less jobs, so higher unemployment.

:10:29. > :10:34.Are you pushed by George Osborne to be as bleak as you can be

:10:35. > :10:37.about the effects of Britain leaving the European Union?

:10:38. > :10:44.What we do is we study their numbers.

:10:45. > :10:53.Another day in this referendum campaign and another major

:10:54. > :10:55.international organisation warns Britain about the economic risks

:10:56. > :11:04.Of course, here in the Treasury, they are pretty pleased that the IMF

:11:05. > :11:08.has broadly backed George Osborne's assessment and it's not the last

:11:09. > :11:13.Just a few days before the referendum, they are going

:11:14. > :11:15.to produce a report which will talk about employment, house prices

:11:16. > :11:24.It is thought it will be equally gloomy.

:11:25. > :11:26.Looking for votes, the Leave campaign on the road today

:11:27. > :11:30.with a message that the IMF had been wrong before and was wrong now.

:11:31. > :11:33.I don't think we can take their forecasts at face value

:11:34. > :11:36.because of their background and also, on the basis that our

:11:37. > :11:44.I believe that if we vote to leave the European Union,

:11:45. > :11:46.Britain has a brighter, more secure and more prosperous

:11:47. > :11:54.Shoreham on the south coast, here to ask the question,

:11:55. > :11:57.is anyone listening as everyone from the Bank of England to the IMF

:11:58. > :12:02.Yeah, I would listen to that information and take it on board.

:12:03. > :12:05.Constantly, you are getting different information from one

:12:06. > :12:11.As a personal thing, no, I would not take any notice of it.

:12:12. > :12:14.The governor of the Bank of England, the head of the IMF.

:12:15. > :12:17.There is evidence the economy is high up in the minds

:12:18. > :12:24.Any individual voice or report or organisation is unlikely

:12:25. > :12:28.to have a major impact that we will see in the polls tomorrow.

:12:29. > :12:34.They add up, the narrative grows and it makes voters stop and think

:12:35. > :12:37.just before they go and vote on referendum day.

:12:38. > :12:40.There is more to the UK economy than the referendum.

:12:41. > :12:43.The IMF said there were other long-term risks, high levels

:12:44. > :12:45.of household debt and low productivity.

:12:46. > :12:48.They will still be problems, however Britain votes on June 23.

:12:49. > :12:54.The BBC's Reality Check team has been examining

:12:55. > :12:57.Christine Lagarde's comments, and getting to the facts behind

:12:58. > :13:00.the claims on both sides of the referendum debate.

:13:01. > :13:07.You can find their work at bbc.co.uk/realitycheck.

:13:08. > :13:09.There are signs tonight that the European Union's efforts

:13:10. > :13:12.to stem the migrant crisis are beginning to have

:13:13. > :13:21.Numbers arriving from Turkey onto the Greek islands are down

:13:22. > :13:23.around 90% in April compared with the previous month,

:13:24. > :13:25.according the the EU border agency Frontex.

:13:26. > :13:28.It follows a deal struck between the EU and Turkey.

:13:29. > :13:31.But as our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt now reports from Izmir,

:13:32. > :13:40.These are the Turkish beaches from where tens of thousands

:13:41. > :13:42.of refugees left for their perilous journey to Europe.

:13:43. > :13:46.Today, all that remains are discarded clothes.

:13:47. > :13:50.Almost no refugees are making the crossing to Greece.

:13:51. > :13:54.But the deal between Turkey and the EU to solve the migrant

:13:55. > :14:02.Go into the fields near the Turkish coast close to Greece and you find

:14:03. > :14:04.Syrian refugees like Murad, who once dreamt of going

:14:05. > :14:13.The Turkish-EU deal signed in March has all but blocked

:14:14. > :14:18.TRANSLATION: The sea border with Greece is now closed.

:14:19. > :14:20.If someone wants to go to Europe, they cannot.

:14:21. > :14:27.The Turkish coast guard patrols are much more rigorous.

:14:28. > :14:31.Just two months ago, 8,000 refugees crossed here in one month.

:14:32. > :14:37.So far in May, the numbers are around 300.

:14:38. > :14:40.And for those who make it to Greece, the route north through the Balkans

:14:41. > :14:42.is lined with fences and riot police.

:14:43. > :14:47.There is no possibility to move further from Greece,

:14:48. > :14:51.and in Greece, the movement from the islands to the mainland

:14:52. > :15:02.So, in Turkey, the tables where the smugglers did their deals

:15:03. > :15:05.are almost empty and the shops can't sell their life jackets.

:15:06. > :15:10.The Turkish government says it's honoured its part of the deal.

:15:11. > :15:13.TRANSLATION: If the refugees go outside the cities

:15:14. > :15:15.where they're registered, they're told to go back.

:15:16. > :15:18.If they try to reach the coast and escape,

:15:19. > :15:23.The easing of the refugee crisis depends on a controversial deal

:15:24. > :15:29.Turkey clamping down on the migrants, in exchange

:15:30. > :15:33.for visa-free travel to much of Europe.

:15:34. > :15:36.But the European Parliament is insisting that first, Turkey must

:15:37. > :15:41.Turkey says it has done enough and the whole

:15:42. > :15:47.So there is a risk of a migrant crisis returning.

:15:48. > :15:51.The developments are being followed closely in Germany, where most

:15:52. > :15:54.of the previous refugees went, and by the referendum

:15:55. > :16:05.There has been a dramatic rise in the number of young people

:16:06. > :16:06.being treated for addiction to legal highs.

:16:07. > :16:09.Public Health England recorded over 170 per cent increase last year

:16:10. > :16:13.in those under 18 and dependent on synthetic cannabis -

:16:14. > :16:15.known as "spice" - which can be bought openly

:16:16. > :16:20.Government legislation to ban such substances is expected to come

:16:21. > :16:23.into effect in the coming weeks, but there are concerns it may not

:16:24. > :16:29.Our UK affairs correspondent, Jeremy Cooke, has the story.

:16:30. > :16:35.Spice is potent, addictive, and until now, legal.

:16:36. > :16:44.He's 24, alone, no job, one priority.

:16:45. > :16:50.The first time I ever tried it, my mate just goes, I've got

:16:51. > :16:54.I had three or four burns and I was stuck up against the wall

:16:55. > :16:59.He came back to see me and I asked him for another spliff.

:17:00. > :17:01.Ever since that day I haven't stopped smoking it.

:17:02. > :17:04.At least for Dean and others, there is some help.

:17:05. > :17:09.Just go back to your accommodation for the weekend.

:17:10. > :17:12.The Lifeshare charity is dealing with soaring numbers

:17:13. > :17:20.It's the most dangerous drug that has caused the most damage

:17:21. > :17:23.in the shortest space of time to the most vulnerable

:17:24. > :17:27.I can't emphasise enough how much of a destructive, horrible,

:17:28. > :17:32.It is absolutely awful and I've never seen anything like it.

:17:33. > :17:36.Spice is a synthetic cannabis, but it's much stronger.

:17:37. > :17:43.Just before I quit last, that could last me all day.

:17:44. > :17:49.She and her mates have worked hard and beaten their addictions.

:17:50. > :17:51.My emotional attachment to spice was ridiculous.

:17:52. > :17:56.I've given myself black eyes before, just because I haven't got it

:17:57. > :17:59.and I needed to de-stress myself and calm down so I could go

:18:00. > :18:03.I would just punch myself in the head repeatedly.

:18:04. > :18:08.It affects your mental health as well, it spirals out of control.

:18:09. > :18:12.It turns you into such a nasty person because you are like,

:18:13. > :18:23.It was keeping me homeless, spice, because it was so easy to get,

:18:24. > :18:26.and you can just walk into shops, or if you walk past somebody that

:18:27. > :18:30.you know and ask them for one, they will give you one.

:18:31. > :18:33.It's on the streets that the spice crisis is most visible

:18:34. > :18:39.You can buy it in the shops for a fiver a gram -

:18:40. > :18:44.And all with slick marketing and fancy names aimed

:18:45. > :18:50.The Government is racing to catch up and spice will be

:18:51. > :18:56.But will that be enough to stop this?

:19:01. > :19:04.A young man in his 20s, fighting for his life.

:19:05. > :19:09.And still using, despite knowing spice could have killed him.

:19:10. > :19:12.All I remember is me in the hospital and some woman saying to me,

:19:13. > :19:16.this is the fourth time we have tried to take blood off you.

:19:17. > :19:18.We just had to bring you back round from cardiac arrest.

:19:19. > :19:28.I don't really like it, but I don't know...

:19:29. > :19:31.Many police officers still need convincing that making spice illegal

:19:44. > :19:47.A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

:19:48. > :19:50.A father accused of murdering his six-year-old daughter in a fit

:20:42. > :20:47.Our North America correspondent Aleem Maqbool has more.

:20:48. > :20:49.It's America's civil rights battle of the moment,

:20:50. > :20:54.about which bathrooms can be used by transgender people.

:20:55. > :20:57.It started when one state passed a law saying you can only

:20:58. > :21:00.use toilets according to your gender at birth.

:21:01. > :21:06.This law provides no benefit to society and all it does

:21:07. > :21:11.Let us instead learn from our history and avoid repeating

:21:12. > :21:18.The Obama administration has now sent a message

:21:19. > :21:21.to schools across the country, telling them to protect

:21:22. > :21:25.transgender students' rights, allowing them to use the bathrooms

:21:26. > :21:30.To have the President of the United States say

:21:31. > :21:33."We have your back, we're going to enforce the law",

:21:44. > :21:46.but who's going through the process of transition.

:21:47. > :21:48.We met him soon after his state passed a law stopping him

:21:49. > :21:55.To him, that law has already done considerable damage.

:21:56. > :22:01.I've got more confident in myself, more willing and able to go just out

:22:02. > :22:03.places, even to school, getting healthier again,

:22:04. > :22:07.and it just added another shock in my life

:22:08. > :22:13.But some politicians say they'll continue to oppose President Obama's

:22:14. > :22:16.edict to allow transgender pupils to use the school

:22:17. > :22:21.He says he's going to withhold funding if schools

:22:32. > :22:34.We will not yield to blackmail from the President

:22:35. > :22:42.In recent years, LGBT rights have improved dramatically in the US,

:22:55. > :22:59.The Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster has been

:23:00. > :23:01.in the business since she was five years old -

:23:06. > :23:07.and her fourth feature film - Money Monster - has just

:23:08. > :23:13.Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been talking to her.

:23:19. > :23:20.Just point the camera in my direction, we'll

:23:21. > :23:23.George Clooney as an egotistical financial journalist

:23:24. > :23:26.who prioritises fame and showbiz over robust enquiry.

:23:27. > :23:29.Julia Roberts is his long-suffering producer,

:23:30. > :23:40.For its director, the Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster,

:23:41. > :23:43.it was a chance to explore cynicism in the worlds of finance and media.

:23:44. > :23:47.I think our news, our journalism has changed a lot with the advent

:23:48. > :23:54.of technology and with the advent of that sort of Facebook culture,

:23:55. > :23:56.social media culture, where news is trying

:23:57. > :24:01.to compete with ratings and trying to entertain,

:24:02. > :24:04.and I think it's really quite dangerous for news.

:24:05. > :24:06.It's lost its ability to ask the questions?

:24:07. > :24:14.So you're saying journalism is complicit and therefore corrupt?

:24:15. > :24:20.Corrupted by, yeah, I do think that if you're trying to entertain,

:24:21. > :24:25.you're going to be corrupted by the needs of the audience.

:24:26. > :24:27.She also talked about a continuing male bias in the film business,

:24:28. > :24:31.particularly, she said, when it comes to directing.

:24:32. > :24:39.When you're about to hire - let's say you're a producer

:24:40. > :24:43.and you're going to hire a director - you probably want to find somebody

:24:44. > :24:48.that you perceive as the least risky scenario, and most often that

:24:49. > :24:54.A bloke - middle-class, middle-aged, white guy.

:24:55. > :24:59.Because it's a middle-class, middle-aged white guy

:25:00. > :25:05.Very often, very often, a good percentage of the time it's

:25:06. > :25:10.also a lovely Ivy League woman who runs the studio.

:25:11. > :25:13.So tell me this, you had two big stars in this movie.

:25:14. > :25:16.George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

:25:17. > :25:23.I, first I would never tell you how much somebody got.

:25:24. > :25:25.I wouldn't tell you how much allowance I got

:25:26. > :25:29.My mother told me that's just not something you ever do.

:25:30. > :25:31.You know how much they got paid, right?

:25:32. > :25:38.But I will talk about my movie, which is what we're engaged to do.

:25:39. > :25:41.We're talking about the movie, we're talking about the themes

:25:42. > :25:43.within the movie and how it's about journalists

:25:44. > :25:45.interrogating their subjects properly to get to the truth,

:25:46. > :25:48.No, I'm not helping you, I'm not,

:25:49. > :25:54.That exchange was a bit like the movie itself -

:25:55. > :25:56.tense, interesting, in its way revealing,

:25:57. > :26:06.but ultimately a little bit disappointing.

:26:07. > :26:09.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
