: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

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

: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

:25:36. > :25:37.and I genuinely think Parkrun Last month there was an outcry
:25:38. > :25:45.when a Gloucestershire parish council voted to charge Parkrun
:25:46. > :25:47.to use Little Stoke Park, a decision the nonprofit

:26:28. > :26:30.and fitness activity, I found that kind of really
:26:31. > :26:34.appealing and energising. I think that for me
:26:35. > :26:38.made everything happy. To think that all those people,
: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
:28:45. > :28:48.- so it's goodbye from me,
