A victory for common sense - or a recipe for disaster?

:00:00.:00:00.

The High Court rules a father was allowed to take his daughter out

:00:07.:00:09.

The father celebrates the verdict but the local council warns it

:00:10.:00:16.

could cause chaos in schools and damage children's grades.

:00:17.:00:27.

Obviously I'm delighted with the outcome, as will hundreds

:00:28.:00:29.

of thousands of parents in England, that have had to live with this

:00:30.:00:35.

Clearly shown in court was a link between education

:00:36.:00:38.

attainment and attendance, so my worry is those children that

:00:39.:00:40.

are taken out of school will suffer in their education.

:00:41.:00:43.

We'll be asking what this means for parents planning

:00:44.:00:45.

The head of the IMF warns leaving the EU could be at best

:00:46.:00:50.

"pretty bad" for the UK - at worst "very, very bad".

A special report on the legal synthetic drugs driving a huge

And the friendliness of the short distance runner -

why more and more of us are donning trainers in our local

:01:12.:01:14.

And coming up on BBC News, can Leicester sign off

:01:15.:01:19.

with a flourish at Stamford Bridge and who will clinch that final

:01:20.:01:21.

It is the last weekend of the Premier League.

:01:22.:01:43.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:44.:01:46.

Judges have ruled in favour of a father who refused to pay

:01:47.:01:49.

a fine for taking his daughter out of school for a week's holiday.

:01:50.:01:56.

Jon Platt from the Isle of Wight was fined ?120

:01:57.:01:59.

when he took his six year old to Disneyworld in Florida

:02:00.:02:01.

But the High Court has decided that because the child did

:02:02.:02:06.

attend school regularly - despite her unauthorised holiday -

:02:07.:02:08.

The ruling could have implications for parents across England.

:02:09.:02:13.

One father's decision to take his daughter on a term time holiday to

:02:14.:02:27.

Disney World in Florida lead to this court room battle. John Platt

:02:28.:02:32.

refused to pay the fine imposed by his local council and two High Court

:02:33.:02:37.

judges ruled in his favour. Obviously I'm absolutely delighted

:02:38.:02:41.

with the outcome, as will hundreds of thousands of parents across

:02:42.:02:44.

England who have had to live with this Draconian situation, taking

:02:45.:02:49.

your kids on a family holiday and mounted to a criminal offence

:02:50.:02:52.

according to authorities around the country. -- amounted to criminal

:02:53.:02:58.

offences. His daughter attended school regularly. The Isle of Wight

:02:59.:03:02.

Council took it further and today's battle centred on the education act

:03:03.:03:07.

and what the term regularly meant. The argument continued to rage long

:03:08.:03:13.

after the judgment had been given. The Department for Education and

:03:14.:03:16.

schooling in this country is MS because we don't know the situation,

:03:17.:03:22.

can you take your child out of school and should you be able to? --

:03:23.:03:28.

is a mess. There is a link between attainment and attendance and that

:03:29.:03:32.

link has apparently not been accepted by the court and I fear

:03:33.:03:39.

massive disruption. The thing that stops them taking their kids out of

:03:40.:03:45.

the school is not the fear of the ?60 penalty notice. That is the

:03:46.:03:50.

restraining factor, they can work it out themselves, they know if I pull

:03:51.:03:54.

my kids out of school in term time and their attendance falls to 70%,

:03:55.:03:58.

my child will suffer so they don't do that. Teachers in England can

:03:59.:04:04.

only grand term time absence in exceptional circumstances, parents

:04:05.:04:09.

face a ?60 fine for unauthorised leave. -- can only grant. This

:04:10.:04:16.

Birmingham headteacher fears more parents will now follow suit. Some

:04:17.:04:21.

parents will think, it has happened for this gentleman, it can happen to

:04:22.:04:26.

us, let's save ?500 and it gives the green light and it's not OK.

:04:27.:04:30.

Something should be done with travel agents more than parents because it

:04:31.:04:35.

is travel agents causing high costs of holidays during term time. I

:04:36.:04:40.

welcome the decision and I hope it sets a precedent for the UK. I

:04:41.:04:45.

certainly believe that is up to an individual parent to decide what is

:04:46.:04:53.

a good education. One man's legal battle may have been won in the High

:04:54.:04:58.

Court today but tonight the Department for Education says that

:04:59.:05:01.

attendance is not negotiable, it is already looking to change the law.

:05:02.:05:05.

That will include new guidance for schools and local authorities. Sian

:05:06.:05:07.

Lloyd, BBC News. With me now is Our Home

:05:08.:05:09.

Editor Mark Easton. We heard one parent saying that it

:05:10.:05:17.

sets a wonderful precedent for parents across England, does it? If

:05:18.:05:21.

we had a situation where every parent could take their child out of

:05:22.:05:25.

school without the permission of the headteacher and in fact the

:05:26.:05:29.

headteacher says no, we would have a chaotic situation and it's no

:05:30.:05:33.

surprise that the Department for Education is looking to change the

:05:34.:05:40.

law in England and it has published research that if your child misses

:05:41.:05:44.

just seven days a year the impact can be great on GCSEs and its own

:05:45.:05:48.

guidance makes the point that it's about child welfare, not just about

:05:49.:05:53.

the child going to Disneyland or wherever, but the children back in

:05:54.:05:55.

the classroom whose education will be affected when the teacher has to

:05:56.:06:01.

help the other child catch up. I suspect this loophole will be closed

:06:02.:06:06.

quickly but this is happening across the world and in France if you want

:06:07.:06:10.

to take your kid out of school for a holiday you not only need permission

:06:11.:06:13.

from the headteacher but from bureaucrats in the town hall and if

:06:14.:06:16.

you go abroad you need a special Visa from the police. Parents on the

:06:17.:06:22.

other hand say, holidays are so expensive out of term time, and

:06:23.:06:28.

travel broadens the mind and those arguments are there, but schooling

:06:29.:06:32.

has been compulsory in this country for 130 years, brought in to protect

:06:33.:06:36.

the welfare of children and the government argument is a cheap

:06:37.:06:39.

holiday is not a good enough reason for taking children out of school.

:06:40.:06:41.

Thank you very much. It could be at least "pretty bad"

:06:42.:06:46.

and at worst "very, very bad". Another day and another

:06:47.:06:49.

stark warning. This time it's from

:06:50.:06:51.

Christine Lagarde, the head She says leaving the European Union

:06:52.:06:53.

would hit British growth, Vote Leave campaigners say the IMF

:06:54.:06:56.

has been wrong before about the British economy

:06:57.:07:00.

and is wrong again. So will this latest warning

:07:01.:07:02.

have any impact on how Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed has

:07:03.:07:05.

been trying to find out. Step-by-step the government believes

:07:06.:07:15.

the economic case is being made, today another expert and another

:07:16.:07:21.

warning. A particular welcome to Christine Lagarde and her team. The

:07:22.:07:26.

IMF argued house prices could fall, borrowing costs increase, and the

:07:27.:07:30.

government may have do raise taxes and cut public services further. I

:07:31.:07:35.

asked Christine Lagarde for the outlook if Britain left the EU. The

:07:36.:07:40.

consequences would be negative if the UK was to leave the European

:07:41.:07:45.

Union. It would impact people's life, so that means higher prices,

:07:46.:07:53.

less growth, that means less jobs, and higher unemployment. Does the

:07:54.:07:57.

Treasury influence you? Are you pushed by George Osborne to be as

:07:58.:08:01.

bleak as you can be about the effects of Britain leaving the

:08:02.:08:06.

European Union? The IMF does not get pushed around. What we do is we

:08:07.:08:11.

study their numbers, we assess the validity, we'd talked to many other

:08:12.:08:19.

people. Another day in this referendum campaign and another

:08:20.:08:21.

major international organisation warns Britain about the economic

:08:22.:08:25.

risks of leaving the European Union. Of course here in the Treasury they

:08:26.:08:30.

are pleased that the IMF has broadly backed George Osborne's assessment

:08:31.:08:34.

and it's not the last we will hear from the IMF, a few days before the

:08:35.:08:38.

referendum they will produce a report which will talk about

:08:39.:08:42.

employment, will talk about house prices and the Brexit risk. It's

:08:43.:08:48.

thought it will be equally gloomy. Looking for votes, the Leave

:08:49.:08:52.

campaign on the road today with a message that the IMF have been wrong

:08:53.:08:57.

before and was wrong now. We can take their forecasts at face value

:08:58.:09:01.

because of their background and also on the basis that our economy is

:09:02.:09:06.

successful right now. And I believe that if we vote to leave the

:09:07.:09:09.

European Union Britain has a brighter and more secure and

:09:10.:09:13.

prosperous future outside of the EU. Shoreham on the south coast, here to

:09:14.:09:17.

ask the question, is anyone listening? As everyone from the Bank

:09:18.:09:24.

of England to the IMF is warning against leaving. I would feel they

:09:25.:09:27.

know more about what they are talking about, and yes, I would

:09:28.:09:32.

listen to that information and take it on board and it would help me

:09:33.:09:39.

make a decision. You constantly get different information from one side

:09:40.:09:42.

and another, personally I would not take any notice. There is more to

:09:43.:09:47.

the UK economy than the referendum, the IMF said there were other

:09:48.:09:51.

long-term risks, high levels of household debt and low productivity,

:09:52.:09:55.

there will still be problems however Britain votes on June 23.

:09:56.:09:58.

There are signs tonight that the European Union's efforts

:09:59.:10:00.

to stop the flow of migrants into Europe are beginning

:10:01.:10:02.

from Turkey onto the Greek islands are down around 90 per cent in April

:10:03.:10:10.

compared with the previous month following a deal struck

:10:11.:10:12.

Gavin Hewitt now reports from Izmir, political pressures mean

:10:13.:10:19.

the deal is now looking increasingly vulnerable.

:10:20.:10:23.

These are the Turkish beaches from where tens of thousands

:10:24.:10:26.

of refugees left for their perilous journey to Europe.

:10:27.:10:28.

Today all that remains are discarded clothes,

:10:29.:10:30.

almost no refugees are making the crossing to Greece.

:10:31.:10:40.

But the deal between Turkey and the EU to solve the migrant crisis

:10:41.:10:43.

Go into the fields near the Turkish coast close to Greece,

:10:44.:10:52.

and you find Syrian refugees like Marat who once dreamt

:10:53.:10:55.

The Turkish-EU deal signed in March has all but blocked

:10:56.:11:00.

TRANSLATION: The sea border with Greece is now closed.

:11:01.:11:06.

If someone wants to go to Europe they cannot.

:11:07.:11:09.

The Turkish Coast Guard patrols are much more rigorous.

:11:10.:11:19.

Just two months ago 8000 refugees crossed here in one month.

:11:20.:11:21.

So far in May the numbers are around 300.

:11:22.:11:28.

For those who make it to Greece, the route north through the Balkans

:11:29.:11:31.

is lined with fences and riot police.

:11:32.:11:33.

There is no possibility to move further from Greece.

:11:34.:11:42.

And in Greece, the movement from the islands to the mainland

:11:43.:11:45.

In Turkey the tables where the smugglers did their deals

:11:46.:11:50.

are almost empty, and the shops can't sell their life jackets.

:11:51.:11:53.

The Turkish government says it has honoured its part of the deal.

:11:54.:11:56.

TRANSLATION: If the refugees go outside the cities

:11:57.:11:58.

where they are registered, they are told to go back.

:11:59.:12:03.

If they try to reach the coast and escape the police

:12:04.:12:05.

The easing of the refugee crisis depends on a controversial deal

:12:06.:12:12.

Turkey, clamping down on the migrants in exchange for

:12:13.:12:18.

But the European Parliament is insisting that first Turkey must

:12:19.:12:26.

carry out further reforms and Turkey says it has done enough

:12:27.:12:29.

and the whole deal is looking fragile.

:12:30.:12:36.

So there is a risk that the migrant crisis could return and developments

:12:37.:12:39.

are being followed closely in Germany, where most

:12:40.:12:42.

of the previous refugees went, and by the referendum

:12:43.:12:44.

While the route from Turkey may be closing off, migrants -

:12:45.:12:52.

many from Africa - are still making the journey

:12:53.:12:54.

to Europe but via a longer route from Libya.

:12:55.:12:56.

has been on board a charity rescue boat in the Mediterranean all week

:12:57.:13:02.

which has now docked in the Italian port of Crotone.

:13:03.:13:06.

Christian, what's your assessment of the situation from what you've

:13:07.:13:09.

Well, the decks are clear this evening, the Aquarius has this

:13:10.:13:23.

embarked on another 233 migrants here in the port of Crotone and you

:13:24.:13:27.

can see they have been processed and sent to centres around the country.

:13:28.:13:31.

They may well have a temporary solution between Turkey and Greece

:13:32.:13:35.

but after spending a week aboard the Aquarius I can tell you that across

:13:36.:13:40.

the central Mediterranean route people smugglers are winning and

:13:41.:13:43.

with all of the chaos in Libya, you wonder how they will. Them. Through

:13:44.:13:49.

most of the crossing they slept. Huddled beneath blankets as if

:13:50.:13:53.

trying to shield themselves from the world they should Google to survive

:13:54.:14:00.

in. -- how they will stop them. In the morning there was a brighter

:14:01.:14:04.

mood, he was Europe and a new future, whatever Europe is it must

:14:05.:14:07.

surely be better than the Libya they escaped. 233 mostly economic

:14:08.:14:16.

migrants from West Africa. Italy's ports are founded on mercantile

:14:17.:14:20.

trade but this is the new cargo, migrants and lots of them, and this

:14:21.:14:25.

will be a record year. Why do they come? This 20-year-old said the boat

:14:26.:14:30.

was the only escape from the horrors of Libya. I was imprisoned for three

:14:31.:14:36.

months. What were conditions like? Very hard conditions. You told me

:14:37.:14:40.

earlier that you were beaten. Yes, and we were only allowed to eat once

:14:41.:14:47.

a day. He is lucky to be alive, we found them two days ago in this

:14:48.:14:51.

rubber boat off the coast of Libya, people smugglers packed them in and

:14:52.:14:56.

gave them just enough fuel to leave Libyan waters. An hour after this

:14:57.:15:02.

rescue a storm blew in. This is what happens when the waves get bigger.

:15:03.:15:07.

The boats fold and they sink. Look at the smiles, this is the moment

:15:08.:15:12.

they dreamt of, the moment that many risked it all for. Their first steps

:15:13.:15:18.

onto European soil. How many more will come? 233 here, 801 in Messina

:15:19.:15:22.

and over 1000 migrants just today. I am very happy to be standing in

:15:23.:15:33.

Europe right now. Among those also leaving the Aquarius today, were

but to do that, you need a government and a partnership. So

:15:59.:16:03.
