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

:00:07. > :00:09.The High Court rules a father was allowed to take his daughter out

:00:10. > :00:16.The father celebrates the verdict but the local council warns it

:00:17. > :00:27.could cause chaos in schools and damage children's grades.

:00:28. > :00:29.Obviously I'm delighted with the outcome, as will hundreds

:00:30. > :00:35.of thousands of parents in England, that have had to live with this

:00:36. > :00:38.Clearly shown in court was a link between education

:00:39. > :00:40.attainment and attendance, so my worry is those children that

:00:41. > :00:43.are taken out of school will suffer in their education.

:00:44. > :00:45.We'll be asking what this means for parents planning

:00:46. > :00:50.The head of the IMF warns leaving the EU could be at best

:00:51. > :00:53."pretty bad" for the UK - at worst "very, very bad".

:00:54. > :00:59.The EU deal with Turkey slows the flow of people for now -

:01:00. > :01:05.A special report on the legal synthetic drugs driving a huge

:01:06. > :01:09.increase in addiction among young people.

:01:10. > :01:11.And the friendliness of the short distance runner -

:01:12. > :01:14.why more and more of us are donning trainers in our local

:01:15. > :01:19.And coming up on BBC News, can Leicester sign off

:01:20. > :01:21.with a flourish at Stamford Bridge and who will clinch that final

:01:22. > :01:43.It is the last weekend of the Premier League.

:01:44. > :01:46.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:47. > :01:49.Judges have ruled in favour of a father who refused to pay

:01:50. > :01:56.a fine for taking his daughter out of school for a week's holiday.

:01:57. > :01:59.Jon Platt from the Isle of Wight was fined ?120

:02:00. > :02:01.when he took his six year old to Disneyworld in Florida

:02:02. > :02:06.But the High Court has decided that because the child did

:02:07. > :02:08.attend school regularly - despite her unauthorised holiday -

:02:09. > :02:13.The ruling could have implications for parents across England.

:02:14. > :02:27.One father's decision to take his daughter on a term time holiday to

:02:28. > :02:32.Disney World in Florida lead to this court room battle. John Platt

:02:33. > :02:37.refused to pay the fine imposed by his local council and two High Court

:02:38. > :02:41.judges ruled in his favour. Obviously I'm absolutely delighted

:02:42. > :02:44.with the outcome, as will hundreds of thousands of parents across

:02:45. > :02:49.England who have had to live with this Draconian situation, taking

:02:50. > :02:52.your kids on a family holiday and mounted to a criminal offence

:02:53. > :02:58.according to authorities around the country. -- amounted to criminal

:02:59. > :03:02.offences. His daughter attended school regularly. The Isle of Wight

:03:03. > :03:07.Council took it further and today's battle centred on the education act

:03:08. > :03:13.and what the term regularly meant. The argument continued to rage long

:03:14. > :03:16.after the judgment had been given. The Department for Education and

:03:17. > :03:22.schooling in this country is MS because we don't know the situation,

:03:23. > :03:28.can you take your child out of school and should you be able to? --

:03:29. > :03:32.is a mess. There is a link between attainment and attendance and that

:03:33. > :03:39.link has apparently not been accepted by the court and I fear

:03:40. > :03:45.massive disruption. The thing that stops them taking their kids out of

:03:46. > :03:50.the school is not the fear of the ?60 penalty notice. That is the

:03:51. > :03:54.restraining factor, they can work it out themselves, they know if I pull

:03:55. > :03:58.my kids out of school in term time and their attendance falls to 70%,

:03:59. > :04:04.my child will suffer so they don't do that. Teachers in England can

:04:05. > :04:09.only grand term time absence in exceptional circumstances, parents

:04:10. > :04:16.face a ?60 fine for unauthorised leave. -- can only grant. This

:04:17. > :04:21.Birmingham headteacher fears more parents will now follow suit. Some

:04:22. > :04:26.parents will think, it has happened for this gentleman, it can happen to

:04:27. > :04:30.us, let's save ?500 and it gives the green light and it's not OK.

:04:31. > :04:35.Something should be done with travel agents more than parents because it

:04:36. > :04:40.is travel agents causing high costs of holidays during term time. I

:04:41. > :04:45.welcome the decision and I hope it sets a precedent for the UK. I

:04:46. > :04:53.certainly believe that is up to an individual parent to decide what is

:04:54. > :04:58.a good education. One man's legal battle may have been won in the High

:04:59. > :05:01.Court today but tonight the Department for Education says that

:05:02. > :05:05.attendance is not negotiable, it is already looking to change the law.

:05:06. > :05:07.That will include new guidance for schools and local authorities. Sian

:05:08. > :05:09.Lloyd, BBC News. With me now is Our Home

:05:10. > :05:17.Editor Mark Easton. We heard one parent saying that it

:05:18. > :05:21.sets a wonderful precedent for parents across England, does it? If

:05:22. > :05:25.we had a situation where every parent could take their child out of

:05:26. > :05:29.school without the permission of the headteacher and in fact the

:05:30. > :05:33.headteacher says no, we would have a chaotic situation and it's no

:05:34. > :05:40.surprise that the Department for Education is looking to change the

:05:41. > :05:44.law in England and it has published research that if your child misses

:05:45. > :05:48.just seven days a year the impact can be great on GCSEs and its own

:05:49. > :05:53.guidance makes the point that it's about child welfare, not just about

:05:54. > :05:55.the child going to Disneyland or wherever, but the children back in

:05:56. > :06:01.the classroom whose education will be affected when the teacher has to

:06:02. > :06:06.help the other child catch up. I suspect this loophole will be closed

:06:07. > :06:10.quickly but this is happening across the world and in France if you want

:06:11. > :06:13.to take your kid out of school for a holiday you not only need permission

:06:14. > :06:16.from the headteacher but from bureaucrats in the town hall and if

:06:17. > :06:22.you go abroad you need a special Visa from the police. Parents on the

:06:23. > :06:28.other hand say, holidays are so expensive out of term time, and

:06:29. > :06:32.travel broadens the mind and those arguments are there, but schooling

:06:33. > :06:36.has been compulsory in this country for 130 years, brought in to protect

:06:37. > :06:39.the welfare of children and the government argument is a cheap

:06:40. > :06:41.holiday is not a good enough reason for taking children out of school.

:06:42. > :06:46.Thank you very much. It could be at least "pretty bad"

:06:47. > :06:49.and at worst "very, very bad". Another day and another

:06:50. > :06:51.stark warning. This time it's from

:06:52. > :06:53.Christine Lagarde, the head She says leaving the European Union

:06:54. > :06:56.would hit British growth, Vote Leave campaigners say the IMF

:06:57. > :07:00.has been wrong before about the British economy

:07:01. > :07:02.and is wrong again. So will this latest warning

:07:03. > :07:05.have any impact on how Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed has

:07:06. > :07:15.been trying to find out. Step-by-step the government believes

:07:16. > :07:21.the economic case is being made, today another expert and another

:07:22. > :07:26.warning. A particular welcome to Christine Lagarde and her team. The

:07:27. > :07:30.IMF argued house prices could fall, borrowing costs increase, and the

:07:31. > :07:35.government may have do raise taxes and cut public services further. I

:07:36. > :07:40.asked Christine Lagarde for the outlook if Britain left the EU. The

:07:41. > :07:45.consequences would be negative if the UK was to leave the European

:07:46. > :07:53.Union. It would impact people's life, so that means higher prices,

:07:54. > :07:57.less growth, that means less jobs, and higher unemployment. Does the

:07:58. > :08:01.Treasury influence you? Are you pushed by George Osborne to be as

:08:02. > :08:06.bleak as you can be about the effects of Britain leaving the

:08:07. > :08:11.European Union? The IMF does not get pushed around. What we do is we

:08:12. > :08:19.study their numbers, we assess the validity, we'd talked to many other

:08:20. > :08:21.people. Another day in this referendum campaign and another

:08:22. > :08:25.major international organisation warns Britain about the economic

:08:26. > :08:30.risks of leaving the European Union. Of course here in the Treasury they

:08:31. > :08:34.are pleased that the IMF has broadly backed George Osborne's assessment

:08:35. > :08:38.and it's not the last we will hear from the IMF, a few days before the

:08:39. > :08:42.referendum they will produce a report which will talk about

:08:43. > :08:48.employment, will talk about house prices and the Brexit risk. It's

:08:49. > :08:52.thought it will be equally gloomy. Looking for votes, the Leave

:08:53. > :08:57.campaign on the road today with a message that the IMF have been wrong

:08:58. > :09:01.before and was wrong now. We can take their forecasts at face value

:09:02. > :09:06.because of their background and also on the basis that our economy is

:09:07. > :09:09.successful right now. And I believe that if we vote to leave the

:09:10. > :09:13.European Union Britain has a brighter and more secure and

:09:14. > :09:17.prosperous future outside of the EU. Shoreham on the south coast, here to

:09:18. > :09:24.ask the question, is anyone listening? As everyone from the Bank

:09:25. > :09:27.of England to the IMF is warning against leaving. I would feel they

:09:28. > :09:32.know more about what they are talking about, and yes, I would

:09:33. > :09:39.listen to that information and take it on board and it would help me

:09:40. > :09:42.make a decision. You constantly get different information from one side

:09:43. > :09:47.and another, personally I would not take any notice. There is more to

:09:48. > :09:51.the UK economy than the referendum, the IMF said there were other

:09:52. > :09:55.long-term risks, high levels of household debt and low productivity,

:09:56. > :09:58.there will still be problems however Britain votes on June 23.

:09:59. > :10:00.There are signs tonight that the European Union's efforts

:10:01. > :10:02.to stop the flow of migrants into Europe are beginning

:10:03. > :10:10.from Turkey onto the Greek islands are down around 90 per cent in April

:10:11. > :10:12.compared with the previous month following a deal struck

:10:13. > :10:19.Gavin Hewitt now reports from Izmir, political pressures mean

:10:20. > :10:23.the deal is now looking increasingly vulnerable.

:10:24. > :10:26.These are the Turkish beaches from where tens of thousands

:10:27. > :10:28.of refugees left for their perilous journey to Europe.

:10:29. > :10:30.Today all that remains are discarded clothes,

:10:31. > :10:40.almost no refugees are making the crossing to Greece.

:10:41. > :10:43.But the deal between Turkey and the EU to solve the migrant crisis

:10:44. > :10:52.Go into the fields near the Turkish coast close to Greece,

:10:53. > :10:55.and you find Syrian refugees like Marat who once dreamt

:10:56. > :11:00.The Turkish-EU deal signed in March has all but blocked

:11:01. > :11:06.TRANSLATION: The sea border with Greece is now closed.

:11:07. > :11:09.If someone wants to go to Europe they cannot.

:11:10. > :11:19.The Turkish Coast Guard patrols are much more rigorous.

:11:20. > :11:21.Just two months ago 8000 refugees crossed here in one month.

:11:22. > :11:28.So far in May the numbers are around 300.

:11:29. > :11:31.For those who make it to Greece, the route north through the Balkans

:11:32. > :11:33.is lined with fences and riot police.

:11:34. > :11:42.There is no possibility to move further from Greece.

:11:43. > :11:45.And in Greece, the movement from the islands to the mainland

:11:46. > :11:50.In Turkey the tables where the smugglers did their deals

:11:51. > :11:53.are almost empty, and the shops can't sell their life jackets.

:11:54. > :11:56.The Turkish government says it has honoured its part of the deal.

:11:57. > :11:58.TRANSLATION: If the refugees go outside the cities

:11:59. > :12:03.where they are registered, they are told to go back.

:12:04. > :12:05.If they try to reach the coast and escape the police

:12:06. > :12:12.The easing of the refugee crisis depends on a controversial deal

:12:13. > :12:18.Turkey, clamping down on the migrants in exchange for

:12:19. > :12:26.But the European Parliament is insisting that first Turkey must

:12:27. > :12:29.carry out further reforms and Turkey says it has done enough

:12:30. > :12:36.and the whole deal is looking fragile.

:12:37. > :12:39.So there is a risk that the migrant crisis could return and developments

:12:40. > :12:42.are being followed closely in Germany, where most

:12:43. > :12:44.of the previous refugees went, and by the referendum

:12:45. > :12:52.While the route from Turkey may be closing off, migrants -

:12:53. > :12:54.many from Africa - are still making the journey

:12:55. > :12:56.to Europe but via a longer route from Libya.

:12:57. > :13:02.has been on board a charity rescue boat in the Mediterranean all week

:13:03. > :13:06.which has now docked in the Italian port of Crotone.

:13:07. > :13:09.Christian, what's your assessment of the situation from what you've

:13:10. > :13:23.Well, the decks are clear this evening, the Aquarius has this

:13:24. > :13:27.embarked on another 233 migrants here in the port of Crotone and you

:13:28. > :13:31.can see they have been processed and sent to centres around the country.

:13:32. > :13:35.They may well have a temporary solution between Turkey and Greece

:13:36. > :13:40.but after spending a week aboard the Aquarius I can tell you that across

:13:41. > :13:43.the central Mediterranean route people smugglers are winning and

:13:44. > :13:49.with all of the chaos in Libya, you wonder how they will. Them. Through

:13:50. > :13:53.most of the crossing they slept. Huddled beneath blankets as if

:13:54. > :14:00.trying to shield themselves from the world they should Google to survive

:14:01. > :14:04.in. -- how they will stop them. In the morning there was a brighter

:14:05. > :14:07.mood, he was Europe and a new future, whatever Europe is it must

:14:08. > :14:16.surely be better than the Libya they escaped. 233 mostly economic

:14:17. > :14:20.migrants from West Africa. Italy's ports are founded on mercantile

:14:21. > :14:25.trade but this is the new cargo, migrants and lots of them, and this

:14:26. > :14:30.will be a record year. Why do they come? This 20-year-old said the boat

:14:31. > :14:36.was the only escape from the horrors of Libya. I was imprisoned for three

:14:37. > :14:40.months. What were conditions like? Very hard conditions. You told me

:14:41. > :14:47.earlier that you were beaten. Yes, and we were only allowed to eat once

:14:48. > :14:51.a day. He is lucky to be alive, we found them two days ago in this

:14:52. > :14:56.rubber boat off the coast of Libya, people smugglers packed them in and

:14:57. > :15:02.gave them just enough fuel to leave Libyan waters. An hour after this

:15:03. > :15:07.rescue a storm blew in. This is what happens when the waves get bigger.

:15:08. > :15:12.The boats fold and they sink. Look at the smiles, this is the moment

:15:13. > :15:18.they dreamt of, the moment that many risked it all for. Their first steps

:15:19. > :15:22.onto European soil. How many more will come? 233 here, 801 in Messina

:15:23. > :15:33.and over 1000 migrants just today. I am very happy to be standing in

:15:34. > :15:37.Europe right now. Among those also leaving the Aquarius today, were

:15:38. > :15:44.young men under the age of 17 travelling alone. Here is one from

:15:45. > :15:50.Guinea-Bissau, 14. It is a lonely world for a boy So Yeon Ryu. One

:15:51. > :15:58.proposed solution is to send Europe's navies into Libya's waters,

:15:59. > :16:03.but to do that, you need a government and a partnership. So

:16:04. > :16:07.long as there is money to be made from the dirty business of people

:16:08. > :16:09.trafficking, they will come. The time is just gone a quarter past

:16:10. > :16:17.six. A High Court victory means a father

:16:18. > :16:21.was allowed to take his daughter out of school for a holiday

:16:22. > :16:23.during term time. And still to come: Two's company -

:16:24. > :16:27.Dame Kelly Holmes tells us why she's joining thousands of others

:16:28. > :16:29.for a run in the park. Coming up in Sportsday

:16:30. > :16:31.on BBC News: More magic He's through to the semifinals

:16:32. > :16:36.of the Italian Open after a straight sets win over Belgium's David

:16:37. > :16:44.Goffin. There has been a dramatic rise

:16:45. > :16:47.in the number of young people being treated for addiction

:16:48. > :16:49.to legal highs. Public Health England recorded over

:16:50. > :16:54.a 170% increase in those under 18 and dependent on synthetic cannabis,

:16:55. > :16:57.known as "spice", which can be Government legislation to ban such

:16:58. > :17:03.substances is expected to come into effect in the coming weeks,

:17:04. > :17:06.but there are concerns it may not Our UK affairs correspondent,

:17:07. > :17:13.Jeremy Cooke, has the story. Spice is potent, addictive,

:17:14. > :17:17.and until now legal. He is 24, alone, no

:17:18. > :17:27.job, one priority. I've got hooked on it,

:17:28. > :17:35.the first time I ever tried it, my mate just goes, I've got

:17:36. > :17:37.a spliff for you. I had three or four burns

:17:38. > :17:41.and I was stuck up against the wall for about two hours and he came back

:17:42. > :17:44.to see me and I asked him for another spliff, and ever

:17:45. > :17:47.since that day I haven't At least for Dean and others,

:17:48. > :17:51.there is some help. Just go back to your

:17:52. > :17:55.accommodation for the weekend. This charity is dealing with soaring

:17:56. > :17:58.numbers of young homeless. It is the most dangerous drug that

:17:59. > :18:11.has caused the most damage in the shortest space of time

:18:12. > :18:14.to the most vulnerable I can't emphasise enough how

:18:15. > :18:17.much other destructive, It is absolutely awful and I've

:18:18. > :18:21.never seen anything like it. Spice is a synthetic cannabis

:18:22. > :18:23.but it's much stronger. Grace is 18 and she and her

:18:24. > :18:33.mates have worked hard My emotional attachment

:18:34. > :18:38.to spice was ridiculous, I have given myself black eyes

:18:39. > :18:41.before, just because I haven't got it and I needed to de-stress myself

:18:42. > :18:45.and calm down so I could go I would just punch myself

:18:46. > :18:48.in the head repeatedly. It affects your mental health

:18:49. > :18:51.as well, it spirals out of control and it turns you into such a nasty

:18:52. > :18:54.person because you are like, It was keeping me homeless, spice,

:18:55. > :19:07.because it was so easy to get, and you can just walk into shops,

:19:08. > :19:10.or if you walk past somebody that you know and ask them for one,

:19:11. > :19:13.they will give it to you. It's on the streets that the spice

:19:14. > :19:16.crisis is most visible You can buy it in the shops

:19:17. > :19:22.for a fiver a gram, And all with slick marketing

:19:23. > :19:30.and fancy names aimed The Government is racing to catch

:19:31. > :19:37.up and spice will be outlawed within weeks,

:19:38. > :19:40.but will it be enough to stop this? Dean has been lucky to survive

:19:41. > :19:44.a collapse fuelled by the drug. A young man in his 20s,

:19:45. > :19:47.fighting for his life. And still using despite knowing

:19:48. > :19:53.spice could have killed him. All I remember is me in the hospital

:19:54. > :19:56.and some woman saying to me, this is the fourth time we have seen

:19:57. > :20:00.you, we just had to bring you back I don't really like it,

:20:01. > :20:12.but I don't know... Many police officers still need

:26:31. > :26:34.appealing and energising. I think that for me

:26:39. > :27:05.running and walking at the same It looks good whether for running

:27:06. > :27:11.this weekend. It won't be the snow of two weeks ago or the heatwave

:27:12. > :27:15.last weekend, somewhere in between. Some disappointment today because of

:27:16. > :27:20.the lack of sunshine in Central and eastern areas, but we do have some

:27:21. > :27:28.sunshine still, this photo in the day from Holyhead in Anglesey. The

:27:29. > :27:33.cloud in Norfolk is coming through the afternoon, and this last shot

:27:34. > :27:39.capturing the edge of a thunderstorm that is now in Pembrokeshire. The

:27:40. > :27:44.storms will tend to rumble away this evening, overnight the colder air

:27:45. > :27:48.will filter south. The main thing tonight is how cold it will be, we

:27:49. > :27:52.will have grass frost to content with first thing tomorrow morning,

:27:53. > :27:57.so a very different start of the day, but hopefully an abundance of

:27:58. > :28:01.sunshine. Still remnants of cloud in the south and west, and that bracing

:28:02. > :28:07.northerly breeze, but outside that breeze across western Scotland, it

:28:08. > :28:10.will probably be warmer. Still relatively warm across Northern

:28:11. > :28:14.Ireland, not as warm as it has been. The best of the sunshine in the

:28:15. > :28:22.West, further east has the breeze to content with. Despite the drop in

:28:23. > :28:26.temperatures, the sun is just as strong, not temperature dependent at

:28:27. > :28:31.all. Another chilly start as we head into Sunday, and in the north we are

:28:32. > :28:36.starting to cut off the northerly wind, so again, when you are in the

:28:37. > :28:39.sunshine, it will feel very pleasant indeed. Lots of usable weather

:28:40. > :28:41.around this weekend, it will just not be as hot as it has been in

:28:42. > :28:44.recent weeks. That's all from the BBC News at Six
