by the Education Secretary, Michael Gove,

should the Conservatives win the next general election.

We need to tackle the root causes of truancy and of misbehaviour.

Children only have one chance at education.

We can't let them miss out on its transformative effect.

We need to ensure that every child is in school,

benefiting from great teaching in every classroom every school day.

That is why we've tightened the rules on attendance,

and absence figures are down, but there's more to do.

We need to ensure those parents who don't play their part

in ensuring their children attend school,

With me is our political correspondent Alan Soady.

What form could this take? One of the things Michael Gove wants to do

moment, having to pursue those parents through the court, Michael

Gove is understood to want to deduct the money from their child benefit,

ideas that could be part of an education programme and a future

Conservative government. But all of this at the end of a very difficult

week for Michael Gove, on a day when Labour is stepping up its attack on

his three schools and academies programme, claiming his department

is not overseeing those schools properly. That arises out of the

allegations that some schools in Birmingham, that there was some sort

of extremist Islamist plot to influence the running of those

schools, and there will be reports on that out on Monday, when Michael

Gove will give his response. Allen, thank you. -- Alan.

of her state visit to France to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day.

There is, in France, warmth and fascination for the British monarch

qualities of dignity and devotion to duty that the French rather admire.

just so beautiful with all these stylish hats, and these nice outfits

she is wearing, all the time different. Just perfect. The final

day of the state visit was centred on the town hall, from where

shoulder Gall announced the liberation of Paris in 1944. The

present incumbent is the first woman to be elected mayor of the city.

From there, the Queen made the short journey to an island in the river,

has now been renamed. The traders are very excited. This has been an

important week for President Hollande, and yet he has been keen

to put the Queen at the centre of events alongside the D-Day

veterans. The French ambassador to London says it is because the Queen

reminds us of our history and also our liberty. And in keeping with the

highest protocol, the president has extended all week, he accompanied

the Queen to her return flight from an air base. From here, she returned

Jolly Good Fellow, they took him inside, and he is now resting. He

got a statement out saying, I want to thank everybody for their kind

words and best wishes for my trip to Normandy, I never imagined my visit

would cause such a stir. It began on Thursday, when he left home wearing

his Mack with his veteran's medals hidden underneath. Nobody nowhere he

had gone, police were looking for him. He had got himself onto a

cross-channel ferry, where he had teamed up with some other Normandy

ferry, the company laid on a lavish breakfast for him. They also told

him he could have free tickets for the rest of us live to any D-Day

thank everybody involved. He said he was not the real hero, it was those

who did not return from Normandy, and he himself wants to get on with

his life in more quiet circumstances.

England may have been the last team to beat New Zealand, but in Auckland

the All Blacks have a mighty record, unbeaten in 20 years, and an

England win would take a lot of heart. Captain Chris Robshaw show
