The Supreme Court rules you CAN be fined or prosecuted

:00:00.:00:08.

for taking your child out of school in England without permission.

:00:09.:00:10.

A father has lost his bid for the right to take his child

:00:11.:00:13.

The issue is no longer, if ever it was, about term time holidays.

:00:14.:00:19.

It is about the state taking the rights of

:00:20.:00:21.

parents away when it comes to making decisions about their children.

:00:22.:00:26.

But is the situation any clearer for parents now with the rules

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:12.:01:26.

Any parent who takes their child out of school in England during term

:01:27.:01:30.

time could be fined, or even face prosecution.

:01:31.:01:32.

That's the ruling of the Supreme Court after a father lost his case

:01:33.:01:35.

that he could take his daughter out of school as long as

:01:36.:01:38.

Jon Platt - who's from the Isle of Wight -

:01:39.:01:42.

had refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter

:01:43.:01:44.

The High Court had originally ruled in his favour but the Supreme Court

:01:45.:01:49.

has now overturned that judgment - saying parents need to act

:01:50.:01:52.

Here's our Education Editor, Branwen Jeffreys.

:01:53.:02:01.

the dad who took on the system and today lost. Jon Platt refuse to pay

:02:02.:02:12.

a fine for a term time holidays. Highest court in the land has ruled

:02:13.:02:19.

against him. I say this, the legal battle is not over. There is no

:02:20.:02:24.

right of appeal on this place. Be a generation or more before this court

:02:25.:02:29.

revisits this decision, if ever it does. Later, Jon Platt told me he

:02:30.:02:35.

has no regrets for his daughter has attendance of more than 90%. You are

:02:36.:02:40.

not plead guilty when it goes back to the magistrates, and could face a

:02:41.:02:45.

fine of up to ?1000. Not every day missed at school as a negative

:02:46.:02:50.

impact. If it did we would not have schools taking children to a museum

:02:51.:02:55.

or library. What do you say where people argue it is areas where

:02:56.:03:02.

people miss a lot of school and results are poor? If that is the

:03:03.:03:10.

case, prosecute them. Where does this leave England's schools? It

:03:11.:03:16.

means they get to decide rules on attendance, something head teachers

:03:17.:03:21.

have welcomed. We have always stood our line at school. We said to

:03:22.:03:26.

parents, when you chose to send a child to this school, you signed an

:03:27.:03:31.

agreement. It is not just us saying it will stop it is with the full

:03:32.:03:38.

force of the law behind us. It is the start of the Easter break and

:03:39.:03:42.

many are annoyed at the higher holiday prices. Sympathy for the

:03:43.:03:47.

view of the judge that if too many children miss school, it is

:03:48.:03:51.

disruptive. If everyone took their children out of school because of

:03:52.:03:54.

cheaper holidays, then school would not be the same. That increase out

:03:55.:04:02.

of term time is ridiculous. I think they should be taken out of school

:04:03.:04:06.

because they always did in our day and it never did as any harm. A week

:04:07.:04:16.

or two they did not miss much. In this seaside town, this woman says

:04:17.:04:19.

it is hard for parents who have seasonal work. We are busiest in the

:04:20.:04:23.

half term and summer holidays. It is hard to get time off work and easier

:04:24.:04:29.

when we are not in season. In England, parents now face a choice.

:04:30.:04:34.

Pay the premium prices or face the fines. It could not be more

:04:35.:04:38.

different from Wales, where parents can ask for ten days extra away from

:04:39.:04:44.

school. The holidays are beginning that schools will expect children

:04:45.:04:46.

back the first day of term. Branwen, this ruling has clarified

:04:47.:04:49.

the situation for parents, except that the rules

:04:50.:04:51.

about when you can and cannot take your child out of school vary

:04:52.:04:54.

from council to council. So, there is a little bit of a

:04:55.:05:02.

postcode lottery for parents at the moment in the sense that it depends

:05:03.:05:07.

how winning your local council is to issue a fine if the head teacher has

:05:08.:05:11.

refused permission for you to take your child on a term time holiday.

:05:12.:05:18.

We saw suffered issuing 6000 fines in one year but Richmond-upon-Thames

:05:19.:05:23.

in leafy south London issued none at all. Tonight, councils have called

:05:24.:05:28.

for a bit of clarity from the Government about how they choose for

:05:29.:05:32.

this rule to be interpreted. A note of caution from head teachers. We

:05:33.:05:36.

are delighted that courts have recognised the disruption caused by

:05:37.:05:40.

term time holidays but they also say issuing fines to parents can be

:05:41.:05:44.

little bit of a blunt and divisive instrument. Thank you.

:05:45.:05:48.

Syria's Foreign Minister has denied the Government carried out

:05:49.:05:51.

a chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Idlib.

:05:52.:05:53.

More than 70 people, including many children,

:05:54.:05:54.

are reported to have died in the air strike on Tuesday.

:05:55.:05:57.

Turkey says the results of postmortem examinations carried

:05:58.:05:59.

out on the victims confirm chemical weapons were used and has blamed

:06:00.:06:02.

Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins reports.

:06:03.:06:13.

The international investigation is under way. Some victims of Tuesday's

:06:14.:06:18.

poisoning are now being treated in Tech Jos Buttler. Samples taken from

:06:19.:06:23.

them, as well as postmortem examinations of three people who

:06:24.:06:27.

died in Turkey have left the Government there long-time opponents

:06:28.:06:31.

of President Assad in no doubt. Unfortunately, it is very clear to

:06:32.:06:35.

us that the Assad regime has no hesitation in using chemical

:06:36.:06:40.

weapons. They attacked with chemical weapons. The war in Syria is in its

:06:41.:06:46.

seventh year. The first forensic medical results from this latest

:06:47.:06:49.

outrage cannot, on their own, prove who is to blame. Crucially, if there

:06:50.:06:54.

is a postmortems in Turkey were apparently attended by international

:06:55.:06:59.

experts from both the World Health Organisation and the OPC W, the UN

:07:00.:07:03.

organisation for the Prohibition of chemical weapons. In the tests,

:07:04.:07:06.

three bodies were examined and they were found to be victims of a

:07:07.:07:13.

chemical agent. The health authority says it was the nerve agent, sarin.

:07:14.:07:17.

It is partly for that reason that it is said President Assad is

:07:18.:07:22.

responsible. This man has been collecting samples we hope can be

:07:23.:07:27.

submitted to an international investigation. Such samples seem

:07:28.:07:31.

unlikely to be regarded as reliable. The Syrian government today flatly

:07:32.:07:36.

rely any responsibility. TRANSLATION: Our army has never used

:07:37.:07:45.

chemical weapons and will not use any chemical weapons, not only for

:07:46.:07:51.

our civilians, our people, but also the terrorists. Not for the first

:07:52.:07:55.

time America and its allies do not believe a word of this. The crucial

:07:56.:08:01.

thing is what the United States will do in response. There is no doubt in

:08:02.:08:07.

our mind that the Syrian regime is responsible for this horrific

:08:08.:08:12.

attack. We think it is time that the Russians think carefully about their

:08:13.:08:16.

continued support of the Assad regime. The secretary of state would

:08:17.:08:20.

be in Moscow pressing the case. Russia has already rounded on its

:08:21.:08:25.

critics, made sure it is sticking with President Assad and blamed

:08:26.:08:28.

opposition forces for the chemical attack. Deadlock, and the war,

:08:29.:08:30.

continue. As James said, Donald Trump's

:08:31.:08:33.

response to the suspected Syrian Earlier his administration said that

military action against Syria Meanwhile Donald Trump is preparing

:08:36.:08:45.

to meet later today the leader of the world's other economic

:08:46.:08:49.

superpower - President The agenda for the talks

:08:50.:08:51.

will focus on two areas. Trade will feature heavily as the US

:08:52.:08:55.

and China have perhaps the world's most important trade relationship -

:08:56.:08:58.

but discussions could be The other hot topic of conversation

:08:59.:09:00.

will be North Korea's nuclear programme -

:09:01.:09:08.

with President Trump demanding Beijing does more to rein

:09:09.:09:10.

in its reclusive neighbour. For both these reasons Mr Trump says

:09:11.:09:12.

he believes the summit in Florida Let's speak to our North

:09:13.:09:15.

America Editor Jon Sopel - What are both men hoping

:09:16.:09:20.

to get from this summit? Make no mistake. This is the most

:09:21.:09:34.

consequential meeting President Trump has held since taking office.

:09:35.:09:38.

You could describe them both as populous and both projecting a tough

:09:39.:09:43.

guy image. Both are nationalists. Both men will want to come away with

:09:44.:09:47.

something at the end of their meetings together. It is also worth

:09:48.:09:52.

saying that the trade issue is very difficult indeed. There may be some

:09:53.:09:56.

kind of agreement with China promises to invest in the US

:09:57.:10:03.

economy. Donald Trump's infrastructure plan, you know what,

:10:04.:10:09.

we won't go ahead with our threat of tariffs or declaring you a currency

:10:10.:10:13.

manipulator, both of which could have serious consequences for world

:10:14.:10:20.

trade. If Donald Trump gets a commitment of increased inward

:10:21.:10:23.

investment in the US from China it could be seen as something of a

:10:24.:10:27.

victory. North Korea is very difficult. Donald Trump believes

:10:28.:10:33.

that only in Beijing can people exercise wheel leveraged over the

:10:34.:10:37.

North Korean rulers. They will look to see China taking a tougher stance

:10:38.:10:42.

on North Korea. Maybe there is a quid pro quote where the US has less

:10:43.:10:49.

to say about Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea in return for

:10:50.:10:56.

China taking it tougher stance over North Korea. This place is meant to

be somewhere to go for relaxation but there will not be much we lack

for most people who are just about affording to send

A senior police officer has told the BBC that possession of drugs -

:15:47.:15:49.

even cocaine and heroin - should not be punished

:15:50.:15:51.

15% of the prison population have been convicted of drug offences

:15:52.:15:56.

and the man in charge of tackling drug abuse for Avon and Somerset

:15:57.:16:00.

police says the current law is outdated and unworkable.

:16:01.:16:04.

As an alternative to prosecution, the force has set up

:16:05.:16:06.

the Drugs Education Programme, a three hour course for drug users.

:16:07.:16:12.

After a year, of the 400 people attending the session,

exclusive access to see how the course works.

Police out on the streets of Bristol, looking for dealers...

:16:24.:16:28.

But, when they do find them, these days many drug users

:16:29.:16:40.

If police in Bristol now catch people carrying even class A drugs,

:16:41.:16:46.

there is another option other than the criminal justice system.

:16:47.:16:54.

We can go with this, a drugs educational programme.

And a discussion on the effects of drugs.

I was found with cocaine, in a nightclub.

:17:20.:17:30.

Most on the course don't want to be identified.

:17:31.:17:35.

But they all tell us being here is better

:17:36.:17:37.

I'll not use again, because of the shock that

:17:38.:17:43.

I've had, and the whole process and everything.

:17:44.:17:45.

Would you go as far as to say it's a life changer?

:17:46.:17:47.

I would have lost my job, if I'd got a criminal record.

:17:48.:17:51.

This new approach has come from this man, Paul Bunt.

:17:52.:17:55.

He says the current legislation isn't working.

:17:56.:17:57.

Is this not just legalising drugs through the back door?

:17:58.:17:59.

It's dealing it appropriately for the 21st century.

:18:00.:18:06.

I think there's a general feeling out there now that

:18:07.:18:10.

people who use substances, and don't use violence or commit

:18:11.:18:13.

crime in any other way, why should we be filling our prisons

:18:14.:18:16.

Back on the streets, the emphasis is on getting drug

:18:17.:18:22.

users onto the course or into treatment.

:18:23.:18:25.

People like this man, addicted to heroin and crack cocaine.

:18:26.:18:29.

Every time I see you, you're scrambling around

:18:30.:18:34.

And this man, blatantly breaking the law.

:18:35.:18:40.

He'll face court for criminal damage, but he too will be offered

:18:41.:18:44.

But police forces across the UK are watching with interest,

and it could soon be rolled out nationwide.

:18:55.:18:56.

The Ukip Welsh Assembly Member Mark Reckless has left the party

:18:57.:19:05.

and says he will now vote with the Conservatives.

:19:06.:19:07.

It means they now overtake Plaid Cymru as the second largest

:19:08.:19:10.

It's a further blow for Ukip after its only MP Douglas Carswell -

:19:11.:19:14.

another defector from the Tories - announced he was leaving.

:19:15.:19:18.

Here's our political correspondent Ben Wright.

:19:19.:19:20.

A Tory MP defects to Ukip and is hurled into the spotlight -

:19:21.:19:29.

The move, by Mark Reckless, symbolised a party on the up.

:19:30.:19:39.

Mr Reckless leaves Ukip looking like a Party on the slide.

:19:40.:19:47.

Well, I think now Article 50 has been triggered,

:19:48.:19:49.

the Conservative government is taking us out of

:19:50.:19:51.

That's something I campaigned for my adult life.

:19:52.:19:54.

I would like to support them in doing that.

:19:55.:19:57.

His decision to quit Ukip comes days after the party's

:19:58.:20:00.

only MP at Westminster, Douglas Carswell, decided

:20:01.:20:02.

So, with the EU referendum over, is that Ukip done for?

:20:03.:20:11.

If Mark Reckless believes that's all Ukip was good for, then,

:20:12.:20:14.

We don't need people in the party that only believe

:20:15.:20:18.

But the party's new leader, Paul Nuttall, failed to win a recent

:20:19.:20:24.

by-election in Stoke, despite throwing everything at it,

:20:25.:20:26.

and for months after the referendum rows within the party were played

:20:27.:20:29.

On the Richter scale of political defections,

:20:30.:20:33.

the latest by Mark Reckless is a minor tremor.

:20:34.:20:37.

But it raises again the question of what the party's for,

:20:38.:20:40.

now Britain is leaving the European Union.

:20:41.:20:43.

Mark Reckless will now sit with the Conservatives

:20:44.:20:46.

in the Welsh Assembly and his former party colleagues there say

:20:47.:20:49.

Well, I think Ukip voters will be disgusted

:20:50.:20:56.

at what they will undoubtedly see as a personal betrayal.

:20:57.:20:58.

But I think, more generally, it's a betrayal of

:20:59.:21:00.

The two Tory defectors to Ukip have abandoned the party, declaring job

:21:01.:21:04.

Next month's local elections will be a test of whether voters agree.

:21:05.:21:20.

A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories...

:21:21.:21:23.

A mother has been arrested in Nottinghamshire on suspicion

:21:24.:21:25.

Samantha Baldwin and her two boys had been missing since last Monday,

:21:26.:21:29.

and were found by police in the town of Ollerton today.

:21:30.:21:32.

The boys are now in the care of authorities.

:21:33.:21:36.

Political parties in Northern Ireland have been given ten

:21:37.:21:38.

days to resolve power sharing talks in an ultimatum from

:21:39.:21:41.

Secretary of State James Brokenshire issued the deadline in a bid

:21:42.:21:45.

to avoid imposing direct rule from London.

:21:46.:21:51.

An inquest has opened into the death of a British Airways pilot.

:21:52.:21:54.

The family of 43-year-old Richard Westgate say he had

:21:55.:21:56.

complained for years of severe headaches and vision problems

:21:57.:21:58.

and they believe he may have been poisoned by toxic fumes

:21:59.:22:01.

Duncan Kennedy is at the coroner's court in Salisbury.

:22:02.:22:05.

Well, Fiona, Richard Westgate was a pilot of many years standing. A

:22:06.:22:19.

British Airways pilot who loved flying. As you said, his family

:22:20.:22:23.

believe he was a victim of cabin fume poisoning. Although all of

:22:24.:22:26.

those airline industries like British Airways, like Boeing, say

:22:27.:22:31.

cabin air is absolutely safe, his family said that they believe this

:22:32.:22:34.

is an issue that could affect millions and millions of passengers.

:22:35.:22:43.

This is a British Airways plane, one of the type of aircraft Richard

:22:44.:22:46.

Westgate flew for many years and one of the safest in the skies. When the

:22:47.:22:51.

43-year-old pilot died in 2012, it came after he complained of

:22:52.:22:54.

long-term health problems that he said were due to breathing cabin

:22:55.:22:59.

air. His mother and brother, who came to the inquest today, also

:23:00.:23:03.

believe he was the victim of toxic cabin air, having read that over

:23:04.:23:06.

many years while flying, which they say affected his nervous system.

:23:07.:23:13.

This 2015 fight from Florida to New York shows a visible example of what

:23:14.:23:18.

the industry calls a cabin fume event. Richard Westgate was not

:23:19.:23:21.

involved with this flight. The pictures appear to show what can

:23:22.:23:25.

happen when oil vapour from the engine is sucked into the aircraft

:23:26.:23:30.

itself. UMC it is black... Tristan says he also suffered their toxicity

:23:31.:23:36.

as a pilot and showed me the pipe that links the engine to the cabin.

:23:37.:23:39.

He says nearly all commercial aircraft could be affected by this

:23:40.:23:43.

problem and the industry must accept what is happening. You assume

:23:44.:23:47.

everything is safe. You board a train, you assume it is safe. The

:23:48.:23:49.

airline industry is an incredibly safe industry. It is. But the

:23:50.:23:55.

realities on this particular issue, this is the Achilles heel of. This

:23:56.:24:02.

doesn't just affect British Airways. Both British Airways and the Civil

:24:03.:24:06.

Aviation Authority deny there is a problem with cabin air. British

:24:07.:24:09.

Airways said it would not operate an aircraft if there was contamination.

:24:10.:24:14.

It says there has been substantial research into cabin air and none of

:24:15.:24:17.

it shows there is a risk to long-term health.

:24:18.:24:21.

The coroner said today he would not be looking at cabin fumes, he would

:24:22.:24:29.

be focusing solely on the inquest. Although the industry says cabin air

:24:30.:24:32.

is absolutely safe, campaigners say it is time for the aviation industry

:24:33.:24:34.

to take this matter seriously. Tonight's the night to celebrate

:24:35.:24:37.

the best of gaming - with the British Academy Gaming

:24:38.:24:40.

Awards. 50 games are being recognised

directly employed by more And, according to the industry,

:24:55.:24:56.

18 million of us are games players. Let's go live now to the awards

who's there. We are here in sunny east London, on

:25:04.:25:19.

the red carpet at the gaming Baftas. It is the most prestigious awards

:25:20.:25:22.

ceremony in the UK game industry. We have had some of the top developers,

:25:23.:25:26.

games makers and performers here. They are desperately waiting to find

Gaming can take players on an untold number of adventures and, tonight,

:25:39.:25:46.

the best of the bunch are being recognised

:25:47.:25:48.

And they're not all what you'd expect.

:25:49.:25:56.

We don't have, like, a big studio anywhere.

:25:57.:25:59.

We're literally working out my spare room at the minute.

:26:00.:26:01.

It wasn't shared, I had my laptop on my lap throughout

:26:02.:26:09.

the entire development, sitting on Phil's sofa.

:26:10.:26:11.

So we've moved from the front room, my sitting room,

:26:12.:26:15.

We've literally moved up in the world.

:26:16.:26:25.

They quit their jobs and uses their savings to make the game.

:26:26.:26:28.

At one stage, they were down to their last ?13.

:26:29.:26:31.

Now, they've been nominated for four Baftas.

:26:32.:26:32.

For those that prove worthy, paradise awaits.

:26:33.:26:34.

In order to win, though, they'll have to get the better

:26:35.:26:37.

of some of the bestselling and most successful games of last year.

:26:38.:26:47.

The game we just saw their Uncharted 4, that is up for eight awards. In

:26:48.:26:53.

the past, they have thrown up some surprises. Who knows, another

:26:54.:26:57.

lesser-known independent game might be victorious again tonight.

:26:58.:27:02.

It has been looking summary, let's have a look at the weather.

:27:03.:27:09.

It will be warmer as we head into the weekend for many of us. A lovely

:27:10.:27:14.

spring day in Peterborough, taken by one of the wedge of the leg Weather

:27:15.:27:19.

watchers. That hasn't been the case everywhere. In Belfast, a glimpse of

:27:20.:27:22.

sunshine, but it has clouded over more and more. As we end the day,

:27:23.:27:29.

south Wales, eastern England and eastern Scotland. Western Scotland,

:27:30.:27:32.

perhaps North Wales, Northern Ireland, hanging onto a lot of cloud

:27:33.:27:36.

this evening and overnight. A few bits of cloud going southwards.

:27:37.:27:41.

Where we have the clearest skies, it will turn quite cold, particularly

:27:42.:27:45.

in the countryside, perhaps down to two three degrees. It will warm up

:27:46.:27:49.

quickly in the sunshine. Probably the best of the sunshine tomorrow,

:27:50.:27:52.

across eastern Scotland, perhaps North East England for a while,

:27:53.:27:56.

central and southern parts of Wales and the south-west of England, a

:27:57.:27:58.

little bit more cloud perhaps developing through the Midlands,

:27:59.:28:02.

eastern England, and more clout for Northern Ireland and western

:28:03.:28:06.

Scotland. In the sunshine, another pleasantly warm day, with

:28:07.:28:08.

temperatures getting up to the mid-teens quite easily. It starts to

:28:09.:28:13.

warm up over the weekend. We even push some sunshine more widely

:28:14.:28:17.

across the UK, moving into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Those

:28:18.:28:21.

temperatures are continuing to rise, perhaps 18 or 19 degrees. The reason

:28:22.:28:24.

for the change is the high-pressure shifting position. It is currently

:28:25.:28:29.

right over us. On Sunday at moves to the continent. We allow the weather

:28:30.:28:32.

front to arrive in the Northwest. Otherwise, we are drawing in dry and

:28:33.:28:38.

warm air from the near continent and that will lift the temperatures in

:28:39.:28:41.

the sunshine. The sunshine will not be everywhere, it has to be said.

:28:42.:28:46.

Across a good part of Scotland, western areas, Northern Ireland and

:28:47.:28:48.

coming into western parts of England and Wales we will see some cloud.

:28:49.:28:51.

Really warmer for central and England. Briefly!

:28:52.:29:01.

So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
