Ta ke i can connect with my children and take them to my friends Birthday Parties and go on the old claygate every now and then and actually be present in my childrens lives. Playdate. From today, bigger businesses will have to reveal how much they pay their male and female staff and if theres a gap between their wages. Im looking at the rules and what they hope to achieve. In sport, eden hazard scores twice to keep chelsea at the top of the Premier League. And carol has the weather. Good morning. A chilly start. For many of us, a fine day with sunshine and variable amounts of cloud. Through the next the days, by sunday, it will be warmer than it has been. More in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. The Supreme Court will rule today on whether parents can take their children on holiday in term time, without Breaking The Law. Its considering the case ofjohn platt, who refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter to florida for a week in 2015. The decision could have far reaching consequences for parents across england, as our Legal Affairs correspondent, Clive Coleman, reports. In 2015, john took this daughter out of school for a holiday. He was fine £150 by the council on the Isle Of Wight, but refused to pay as his daughter was regularly attending school. I received a penalty. A Staggering Number of people received these fines last year. My assessment is that any unauthorised absence was a criminal offence according to the Isle Of Wight council. Some families sought term time holidays at cheaper prices. So rules came in in 2013 allowing local councils to find a pa rent to allowing local councils to find a parent to give pounds a child, £120 if not paid in 120 days. But that did not stop a rise in absences. More than 800,000 pupils last year in england missed 1 or more sessions of school for holidays. That is up from 100,000 in the previous year. Term time holidays account for a quarter of sessions. Unauthorised absences damage life chances of children, according to authorities. This head teacher agrees. The chaos caused by a child missing for an extended period of time, for 5 days, 2 weeks, can be huge. It will ripple on for months afterwards. Think about it. Is coming to school did not make a difference, we would not send them to school. The Court Case Talks about what amounts to regular attendance at school. A win forjohn would give parents more confidence to take their children on holiday during term time knowing they would not be Breaking The Law. Bbc news. And just after 8 oclock well be speaking to the former Chief Inspector of schools in england, Sir Michael Wilshaw about this in more detail. Thats at 8 10. The white house has sent out a warning to russia over its support of the Syrian Regime, following the Chemical Attacks which killed at least 72 people earlier this week. Us Secretary Of State, Rex Tillerson, said it was time russia re assessed its support of president assad. Donald trump also condemned the attacks as an affront to humanity, but did not mention russia, syrias ally. Alexandra mackenzie reports. The town where no 1 will forget the horror of what happened. These men survived, but they lost mothers, fathers, and children. In washington, the words of a president. These heinous actions by the Bashar Al Assad regime cannot be tolerated. Donald trump made no mention of russia, who, at the United Nations security council, blamed Syrian Rebels for the chemical attack, which prompted this response. How many more children have to die before russia cares . And further direct pressure on moscow from a Senior Member of the trump administration. Well, there is no doubt in our mind that the Syrian Regime is responsible for this attack. We think it is time the russians rethought their continued support of Bashar Al Assad and his regime. This comes amid final preparations for Donald Trumps first meeting with chinas president xijinping in florida later today, an encounter that could be choppy. We cannot continue to allow china to rape oui we cannot continue to allow china to rape our country. They have taken oui rape our country. They have taken our money, they have taken ourjobs. China is a currency manipulator. For the leaders of the worlds 2 largest economic leaders, north korea and their Future Trade Relationship will be at the top of the agenda. Donald Trumps Campaign rhetoric will be put to the test. Bbc news.

Good morning to you. Explain this 1 to us. How would this work . A big pledge, and expensive. Jeremy corbyn says he wants to offer every pupil in Primary School a Free School Meal. They think that 90 of pupils would take them up on that offer, costing them £100 million, it is said to be to pay for it they would put vat on Private School Fees. That, they say, would raise about £1. 5 million. Those are the sums. 0bviously £1. 5 million. Those are the sums. Obviously it does not come without critics. The independent counsel for schooling says it does not add up as they forget a number of private School Children do not pay full fees. If this is sounding familiar thatis fees. If this is sounding familiar that is because it was in the lead their manifesto in the last election. The other subject for the labour party right now which is still looming large is the problem of Ken Livingstone. And Jeremy Corbyn finds himself in an awkward situation to say the least. That is right that it something labour wants to move on with with this Announcement Schools today. It is the ongoing saga about Ken Livingstone and his comments linking zionism with adolf hitler. 100 labour mps yesterday signed a motion that not expelling him amounted to a betrayal of the values of the party. Of course, that decision was made the day before to suspend him rather than expel him. YesterdayJeremy Corbyn said he would refer Ken Livingstone back to labours governing party. That would suggest he has to go to another Discipline Panel which would have the power to expel him. Jeremy corbyn is trying to ta ke expel him. Jeremy corbyn is trying to take action. Ken livingstone is unrepentant and has not apologised. This saga keeps going on and on the bite thank you very much. And on.

All this week weve been marking the 50th Anniversary of the beatles sergeant pepper album. Today were focussing on shes leaving home which was inspired by one teenager who ran away in the 1960s. Breakfasts john maguire has tracked her down and hes been speaking to her about her experience and connection to the song. Wednesday morning at five oclock as the day begins. Silently closing her bedroom door, leaving the note that she hoped would say more. She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief. Half a century iron andi handkerchief. Half a century iron and i am meeting the girl, now a woman, who inspired shes leaving home. That is such a 60s photo, isnt it . I am about 17 here. Melanie made Front Page News when she ran away, attracted by the bright late lights of swinging 60s london. There was something about her story that inspired Paul Mccartneys imagination. About her story that inspired Paul Mccartneys imaginationm about her story that inspired Paul Mccartneys imagination. If i hear the song, i dont like to listen to it. I feel terribly sad. The song, i dont like to listen to it. Ifeel terribly sad. Its what my father said in the newspaper is one of the refrains in the song is we gave her everything, everything money could buy. It was clearly that they had read the article. We that they had read the article. We gave her everything money could buy. She is leaving home. It is different today. It seems at more serious issue, running away from home. Half a century on, so much has changed in our daily lives but problems at home remained a prime reason for youngsters taking that drastic step. For me, it was something that i thought about, got scared of the id and then got even more scared of the idea of staying so then i had to leave idea. More scared of the idea of staying so then i had to leave idea. This girl is now 17 that ran away when was 14. Not having anybody outside of my family network, didnt have anyone to talk to go to and it was horrible. I sort of think of it and you think, no, i cant do. I cant do it, i cant do it. And then when the moment hits, itjust have to do it, you just want to be there any more. The experience is horrible. She is being supported by the Charity Missing People and she says she wishes there was help available before she ran away. In these modern times, there is always the spectre of the internet.

They have not given consent for the images to be released. Its been done by parents. They are the ones that live with the consequences. Solutions are not so easy but the so called right to be forgotten whether details would be taken down for the internet could help. 50 yea rs separates for the internet could help. 50 years separates these runaways but uncertainty, risk, albeit in different forms, is just as prevalent today as it was in 1967 when she left home. Idid not i did not even know that that song was inspired by a real person. Of course, when you listen to the lyrics, it is obvious. Its so sad when you think of the tree. You have set me a challenge to get through all of this in one minute. Big changes coming to tax and the amount you can now earn tax free every year has gone up by £500, taking it to 11,500 per year. If you are ina taking it to 11,500 per year. If you are in a higher income taxpayers, you can earn an extra £1500 per year before it kicks in. There are also a couple of changes for families you should be aware of. You can only claim child tax benefits for your first two children and that is after today. The maximum for the reason families has been cut as well. When we look at housing, buy to let landlords will no longer be able to offset their Mortgage Payments against their income, meaning thousands will have to pipe pay a higher rate. If you are leaving cash behind, and allowance before in heritage tax goes up by £100,000 but only if you have children. The amount that all of us can stay tax free goes up by 20,000 by today. Plus a new four under 40s goes up from today. You will find you are paying an Apprenticeship Levy On Tax and wage bills and that goes towards training. Ithink and wage bills and that goes towards training. I think ijust got it in one minute. Perfection but i think you are a minute and four seconds, really. Im joking. Thank you very much.

Sunderland have been incredible with it. Sunderland have been incredible with it. Hasnt he . See you later on. In the run up to last years president ial elections, donald trump talked tough when it came to foreign policy. He blamed china for much of americas economic woes. And now that hes in office will president trumps actions live up to his words all those months ago . Later, hell meet the chinese president to talk about north korea and just overnight the us Secretary Of State warned russia over its support of president assad in syria. Lets speak now to someone who has followed the Trump Administraion closely, doug wead, a former adviser to george w. Bush. Thank you for your time this morning, doug. First, the issues around what happened in syria. The world is reeling from the images we have seen from this chemical attack. Asked about this yesterday, donald trump started using, i think, many would say the kind of language he hates in other politicians. When you kill innocent children and babies, that crosses many, many lines. Many, many lines. That is a very political phrase. Many will say if you are a man of action, mr president , what are you going to do . He has kind of painted himself in a rich oracle corner with that comment. I was also interested in the meeting with King Abdullah when they spoke on the rose garden. I have met both of them many times. It was interesting to see donald trump talk about King Abdullahs experience as a soldier. Iam abdullahs experience as a soldier. I am almost certain King Abdullah had some ideas. There is not much you can do about The Middle East because it is increasingly complicated. What can the president do about forcing some action or a Summer Retreat from that line that he refers to . Some. May be King Abdullah has some ideas. Is this the first Reality Check for donald trump who sees himself as a fixer . No, it is not the first. Laughs. He had the healthcare is not the first. Laughs. He had the healthca re plan. Is not the first. Laughs. He had the healthcare plan. Afterwards he said it is more complicated than most people realised. He could have said i realised. He started business projects in manhattan, you have to know, and when he met problems with permits and organised neighbourhoods, he would move on to another reject, on and on. And then he would come back with new energy and allies and new money and banking. Project. And then he would figure out how to finish those projects he once started. He is not done with healthcare and any international problems. He has not acted immediately, but he has warned us acted immediately, but he has warned us he will do something. He will deal with these issues. The next challenge. Meeting with the president of china. So, they have 2 days of talks. Many people will be aware, and many who voted for him, very much like his attitude towards china. We remember that word, china, ringing out from his mouth many times. You would say he was harsh in the run up to the election. Will he have talks and what will come out of that . He is very personal one on one. So he will be very personable with the president of china. And it may come off as very friendly. But he recognises the tra nsfer of wealth friendly. But he recognises the transfer of wealth from the United States and china. He recognises this is one of the greatest transfers of wealth in all of history outside of The Middle East to be 367 billion asa The Middle East to be 367 billion as a Trade Deficit in 2015 alone. He has to do something about it to return americas economy to a stronger position than what it was. So, he is going to have to deal with it. But here is some kindergarten geopolitics. The United States cannot take on russia and china at the same time. And some believe that thatis the same time. And some believe that that is why many in the Democratic Party are pushing conflict with russia to keep many of the suite deals that many corporations have with china. Sweet. Deals that many corporations have with china. Sweet. It is good to talk to you. Special adviser to george w bush, doug. Just looking at some of the issues facing donald trump the next few days. The weather. It is absolutely right, there is a sunshine in the forecast. Notjust today but the next few days. There is also some clout. This morning, a chilly start where we have had clear skies but thats where we will see sunshine from the word go. Also it will be mainly dry. If you have an allergy for tree pollen, the levels are high across southern england, south wales, all the way into east anglia and kent. Something to bear in mind. I pressure is firmly in charge of our weather today so things are fairly settled for the next few days. It is windier across the far north of scotland and it could touch gale force across shetland. We have showers in the west of scotland. For the rest of us, a quiet start with a bit of frost around and quite a bit of cloud but thin cloud. In the afternoon, we carry on with the rain across the far north of scotland. Showers in the west, brighter skies in the east. For Northern Ireland, you could catch the odd shower but it is the exception rather than the rule, a bright afternoon. For england and wales, some clout around, its been, there will be some sunny spells developing. Cloud. In the sunshine, we could see highs of possibly 16 celsius. Through the evening and overnight, if anything, the winds ease our lot. We will see some holes develop into cloud in the north and west. It would be a particularly cold night. You can expect these types of temperatures in towns and cities. A and only show in new capital cities. Similar weather across the uk to today. Largely dry with a few showers and some sunshine coming through. As we hit the weekend, High Pressure dominates and heads towards the east and then we start to pull in this mild air but there is a Weather Front across the north west. A bit ofa Weather Front across the north west. A bit of a fly the ointment. For england and wales, we are pumping up this warm airfrom england and wales, we are pumping up this warm air from france and temperatures will rise. Where we have the Weather Front, you can see the lighter yellow indicating it wont be as warm and i will show you the kind of Temperature Values you can expect in just a jiffy. Saturday afternoon, starts cold. A lot of sunshine across england and wales and across scotland and Northern Ireland. They will still be bright spells. As we head into sunday, after a chilly start, a lot of sunshine, especially for england and wales but the Weather Front coming in from the north west will introduce Rainfall Parts Of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here, we are looking at10 and Northern Ireland. Here, we are looking at 10 13. And Northern Ireland. Here, we are looking at10 13. 19 and Northern Ireland. Here, we are looking at 10 13. 19 24 other parts of england but across into the south east and eastern england, we could hit 23. It wont last. By monday, that will be back down to around 12 and 15. A bit of a shock to the system on monday for some of us, charlie and sally. If so changeable at the moment, isnt it . Good job we have carol. From today, bigger businesses have to reveal how much they pay their male and female staff and if theres a gap between their wages. Bens here with the details. That is the theory. This is about making sure men and woman, doing pretty much the samejob, get paid pretty much the same pay. Sounds simple doesnt it . But in reality, the gap between what Men And Women get paid is nearly 20 and it gets worse as women progress through their careers. So from today. Firms with more than 250 staff will have to publish data showing what they pay male and female staff. Theyll also need to include average bonuses paid out to Men And Women. They will also need to show the proportion of Men And Women receiving a bonus and the proportion of Men And Women classed as high earners and those at the lower end of the pay grade too. So whats the point . With me now is ann franke from the chartered management institute. Good morning. Isuppose good morning. I suppose welcome news. This is what many people have been Calling Forfor a news. This is what many people have been calling for for a long time, news. This is what many people have been Calling Forfor a long time, to get some transparency about what people are paid. Is it enough . That it isa people are paid. Is it enough . That it is a great start. It is what will close the gap. What companies will have to discover if their own pay gap and once they discover it, they will ask why there is their and what can they do to fix it. One of the issues, we dont talk about pay. We dont talk about what we get this is what our colleagues get. Does this casts a bit more light on it . That we know someone doing a similarjob is getting paid and therefore if we are not getting paid that, we can go and complain. That is part of it. It will also force companies to discover what i call their glass pyramid and what this is, as you said, they will have many more women in the Lower Leveljobs and fewer women in the top level positions. The higher up you go, the bigger the pay gap will be between Men And Women so companies will look at that and say what can i do to pull women are three the pipeline . Is it about filling the quotes . We know already it is difficult that if women have had time off to have families and being out of the workforce, getting backin being out of the workforce, getting back in and advancing their pay is one of the big sticking point. Well, it will help companies to do just that and help companies to have good Career Conversations with our employees and it will help those employees and it will help those employees discover where they are in the compa nys Payroll Employees discover where they are in the companys payroll but lets not forget why we are doing this. Companies with better Gender Balance get Better Business results, have better cultures. Obviously paid Pa Rental Leave better cultures. Obviously paid parental leave is one of the issues. How simple is is to rectify . This is about equality on both sides, levelling the playing field. How do businesses do this . Do they start to address this . Well, know your own story. The regulations are going to allow you to do that because you have to publish them. Each businesss story will be slightly different. It will be up to the leaders of that business to put in place things that work for them. There are a number of things you can do. You mentioned women returning from maternity leave. Make sure you have good policies to help those women get back into the workplace. Make sure that you sponsor talented women in your organisation and make sure that you call out bad behaviour, off the cuff remarks, or the lack of promotional opportunities that women may face. When we talk about the issues, some have criticised us as using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Clearly, there is a problem at is this the right way . 80 is is very good step. Firstly, i would say yes, it may be cracking a nut bet it is a big night. It has been around for a long time. But this nut has been around. This is a voluntary measure. Businesses respond better to things that are voluntary. They can set their own targets and nobody is saying is you have to have let a number of women. You can put your own action in place x. Number of women. You can put your own action in place x. More from me after seven oclock. Mourning the loss of a loved one can be a difficult and deeply emotional process and its different for each person. Following the death of their son in a Road Accident six years ago, film makers, jane and jimmy decided to make a documentary about how they coped with grief.

Some parts of the uk will have highs of 23 degrees. I will have more in 15 minutes. We will see you then. Thank you. Hello. This is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and sally nugent. The Supreme Court will rule today on whether parents can take their children on holiday in term time, without Breaking The Law. Its considering the case ofjohn platt, who refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter to florida for a week in 2015. The decision could have far reaching consequences for parents across england, as our Legal Affairs correspondent, Clive Coleman, reports. In 2015, john platt took his daughter out of school for a holiday. He was fined £120 by his local council on the Isle Of Wight. He refused to pay, as his daughter was regularly attending school. Nine in ten received a penalty notice. Thats a Staggering Number of people who received these fines last year. My assessment is that any unauthorised absence was a criminal offence according to the Isle Of Wight council. Some families sought term time holidays at cheaper prices. So rules came in in 2013 allowing local councils to fine a parent £60 a child, £120 if not paid within 21 days. But the fines did not stop a rise in absences. Last year, more than 800,000 pupils in england missed one or more sessions of school for family holidays. That is up more than 100,000 in the previous year. Term time holidays account for a quarter of sessions. The Department For Education says unauthorised absences damage life chances of children, this head teacher agrees. The chaos caused by a child missing for an extended period of time, 4 5 days, two weeks, can be huge. The impact will ripple on for months afterwards. Think about it. If coming to school did not make a difference, we would not send them to school. The court case centres on what amounts to regular attendance at school. A win Forjohn Platt would give parents more confidence to take their children on holiday during term time knowing they would not be Breaking The Law. Clive coleman, bbc news. And just after 8 oclock well be speaking to the former Chief Inspector of schools in england, Sir Michael Wilshaw about this in more detail. If you have thoughts on it, get in contact. If you have thoughts on it, get in co nta ct. We if you have thoughts on it, get in contact. We will have a look at them later on. The white house has sent out a warning to russia over its support of the Syrian Regime, following the Chemical Attacks which killed at least 72 people earlier this week. Us Secretary Of State, Rex Tillerson, said it was time russia re assessed its support of president assad. Donald trump also condemned the attacks as an affront to humanity, but did not mention russia, syrias ally. Alexandra mackenzie reports. The town of Khan Sheikhoun where no one will forget the horror of what happened. These men survived, but they lost mothers, fathers, and children. In washington, the words of a president. These heinous actions by the Bashar Al Assad regime cannot be tolerated. Donald trump made no mention of russia, who, at the United Nations security council, blamed Syrian Rebels for the chemical attack, which prompted this response. How many more children have to die before russia cares . Nickey haley showed graphic pictures of the dead. We cannot close our highs to them. Eyes. And further direct pressure on moscow from a Senior Member of the trump administration. Well, there is no doubt in our mind that the Syrian Regime is responsible for this attack. We think it is time the russians rethought their continued support of Bashar Al Assad and his regime. This comes amid final preparations for Donald Trumps first meeting with chinas president xi jinping in florida later today, an encounter that could be choppy. We cant continue to allow china to rape our country. They have taken our money, they have taken ourjobs. China is a currency manipulator. The leaders of the worlds two largest economic leaders come together, north korea and their Future Trade Relationship will be at the top of the agenda. Donald Trumps Campaign rhetoric will be put to the test. Alexander mckenzie, bbc news. The labour party has pledged to provide every Primary School pupil in england with a Free School Meal, in an effort to improve results and health. Jeremy corbyn will announce plans to fund the policy by charging vat on Private School Fees later this morning. And there was fresh conflict last night, as mps criticised mr corbyn for failing to expel Ken Livingstone over controversial remarks. 0ur political correspondent, ellie price, joins us from westminster now. Good morning. What is labour reposing exactly . This is not a cheap pledge. Jeremy corbyn wants £100 million to make sure Primary School children have a meal. That will be paid for with a vat on Private School Fees. They believe that will bring up £1. 5 billion. They believe it will promote healthy eating. It does not come without critics. The independent Schools Council says the mass does not add up council says the mass does not add up because many private School Children are on reduced fees. Maths. It sounds familiar because it was in the lib dem manifesto in the la st was in the lib dem manifesto in the last general election. It is a big policy move for labour. They believe it can move labour on during a difficult week. Is this whole idea likely to be overshadowed by the internal conflict over Ken Livingstone . Of course. The ongoing saga of Ken Livingstone after the hearing on tuesday suspending him for a further year after the comments linking zionism and hitler. Yesterday with a 100 mps from labour backing a motion saying that failing to expel him to trade the valleys of the party. Yesterday jeremy to expel him to trade the valleys of the party. YesterdayJeremy Corbyn said Ken Livingstone would be referred to the Governing Body of the party. His comments about judaism and zionism and hitler may again be referred on to a Discipline Panel, as it is only them who can expel him. It is confusing. None of it will happen quickly. This is an ongoing issue for the labour party which they will have to deal with. Theres a call for the Drug Ketamine to be used more widely by the nhs to treat depression. Psychiatrists in oxford say theyve had some success with a human trial using the class b substance, which is also used as a horse sedative. Theyre now calling for a National Database to be established so that doctors who prescribe it can monitor its results as our health correspondent, jane dreaper, reports. Life is good for helen. This is the best shes felt in seven years. Depression and anorexia took their toll, but taking part in this Nhs Drug Trial has stopped hrt feeling like she is drowning in her own thoughts. I can connect with my kids, take my children to their friends Birthday Parties and go on the odd playdate every now and then. I can actually be present in my childrens lives, which is the most important thing to me. Helen is among the first patients to have this experimental treatment. Doctors can proscribe ketamine as a licensed drug. All the patients in this trial had severe depression and all other treatments had failed. But 42 of the 101 patient felt much better after having ketamine. Its really important for us to use it in a controlled environment, obviously. What we would like to see is more centres starting to use ketamine because we feel we will get more experience of exactly how we can help people for whom really nothing else has worked. Patients in oxford receive it through a drip. Doctors believe thousands more people could benefit from this treatment, but warn that it should only be taken under medical supervision. Jane dreaper, bbc news. From today, companies that employ more than 250 staff will be legally required to publish the average salaries they pay Men And Women. About half of the uk workforce will be affected by the new rules. The education secretary, justine greening, whos also the Ministerfor Women and equalities says the measures are being brought in to tackle the gender pay gap. The soft drink manufacturer, pepsi has dropped a commercial after a backlash on social media, that suggested it trivialised Rights Protests. The advert features model kendalljenner and shows her joining a group of protesters and handing a Police Officer a can of pepsi, prompting him to smile, while marchers cheer and hug. Activists say it undermines Rights Protests and public unrest in america. Those are the main stories. Carol will have the weather for us coming up will have the weather for us coming up shortly. Later today, the labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn will announce plans to provide every Primary School pupil in england with a free meal funded through charging vat on Private School Fees. But the announcement comes as the party faces yet more internal conflict, after mps criticised the decision not to expel Ken Livingstone over controversial remarks. Were joined now by the shadow education secretary, angela rayner. Thank you very much forjoining us this morning. Explained the principles of the policy. The principles of the policy. The principle is that we know from the commission of studies the government asked for that it will increase attainment and mean healthier lifestyles for children. You get more efficiency by doing that. 93 of children are in the state system and only 7 in the private system. The subsidies Private Schools get at the moment is not good use of public money. You are quoting the ifs study, is that right . Yes. It also goes on to say, i am quoting, this policy would be expensive to roll out and made disproportionately benefit people from middle and high income families. Many families that will benefit from this move are those families which do not receive Free School Meals at the moment, but are on medium income. Anyone above £16,000 per annum. Those who are struggling, they are the ones that will see the benefit. Many families are struggling to pay for those meals. It is a socially progressive policy. So, just to be clear, a head teacher will be sitting in their school, and under your plan, they would get a bigger chunk of money to give more children Free School Meals, all children Free School Meals. The head teacher would get that money, but that head teacher might well say i could use that money better, i could use it to improve facilities and employ a new teacher, and i am forced to give Free School Meals to some people who frankly do not need them. You will force them to do that . You will tell them what to do with the money even though they feel they could use a better. The principle behind it and the reason it is universal is because it will help all children. It will help those that can and cannot afford. It is to make sure every child is provided a Free School Meal and a hot meal for that day. It is a good policy that is universalfall all day. It is a good policy that is universal fall all families that are working hard and pay taxes and want to benefit. For. Those young people deserve as much as all the others. I do not want it means tested. It is a good and socially progressive policy. I know you need to talk about school meals, but you will notice that the main story is the legitimacy of the Supreme Court ruling of parents being fined for taking children out of school during term time. What would you do during government . We had a debate. It is one of the first thing i took on as Shadow Home Secretary of education. I understand how difficult it is. It is important we set that and supple that children should attend school during term time. There are exceptional circumstances. But it all pa rents exceptional circumstances. But it all parents took their children out of school during term time because it was cheaper to get a holiday it would be chaotic and affect all the childrens education. With discretion. What concerns me is discretion. What concerns me is discretion is not used in circumstances. I hear stories where there are circumstances i believe discretion, like Cancer Treatment, exeter, that it is important that discretion is used. Etc. We have to set the tone. It is really important that children to attend school. Many people getting in touch with us this morning about this story suggesting there are other ways of doing it. Parents can have a better bit of leeway, a five day window, to be used up during the school year, so they can say, i dont know, 1 parent works in the Tourism Industry and cannot take holidays, they have to work all the way through the summer. A five day window, so at least the family can have a week together. Some families have tried to stagger theirs, it has not been popular because not all children go to the same school. It is not an easy task. If every parent was allowed to have a holiday in term time it would create chaos. There is discretion in the current policy, and that is what we have to look at, that Head Teachers are encouraged to use that where effective and where possible, but the premise has got to be that pa rents but the premise has got to be that parents should send their children to school in term time. Some policy issues being talked about at the moment, and some issues you dont wa nt to moment, and some issues you dont want to talk about, Ken Livingstone is one of those. Do you think you should be banned from the labour party . It is frustrating that this is leading the news at the moment, because the labour party has always been a party which has had Zero Tolerance for any form of racism and therefore i am a street that has been leading the news. I heard jeremy speak and welcomed his comments on that, and i am hoping that it wont happen again. The question was do you believe he should be banned . Question was do you believe he should be banned . |j question was do you believe he should be banned . I believe anybody who uses racist terms should be banned. Why cant you signed the letter . I have signed the letter, i have been quite clear on that. What iam have been quite clear on that. What i am frustrated that when i am on the programme to talk about really important matters and their children, and i have to talk about Ken Livingstone. To be fair, we are talking about it for one minute and 15 seconds. The straight answer is that yes, if he is found guilty of the chances,. That yes, if he is found guilty of the chances,. And he has been found guilty of the charges. He has no place in the labour party. Are you frustrated with your leader . Jeremy is quite clear it was not in his gift. It was a panel, and we are hearing that as a trade Trade Unionist who believes injustice, i was frustrated with the outcome of the panel. It was not to me to interfere with that but i am frustrated the news is leading on this. The labour party has a proud record of fighting any form of racism and i believe the party should continue to uphold that an jeremy howe has been clear on that. In his comments yesterday, which i welcome. Jeremy has in his comments yesterday, which i welcome. Jeremy has been in his comments yesterday, which i welcome. Jeremy has been clear that. Here is carol with a look at this mornings weather. It is looking a bit brighter. Good morning. It is going to be a lovely day for some of us today and in fact if you like your weather that warmer as we head into the weekend, especially sunday, some parts of england and wales will have temperatures up to 23 celsius. We are not going to reach those levels today, but it will be mainly dry and there will be some sunshine. More sunshine around than we thought this time yesterday. If you have an allergy to tree pollen, the levels are high across south wales, east anglia and also kent, something to Bearin Anglia and also kent, something to bear in mind. High pressure is keeping a weather really settled. Will do so into the weekend as well. You will notice there is some cloud, but a lot of it is then and we will see some bright spells at worst, sunny spells at best thin. There are some rain across the far north of scotland, strong winds picking up across shetland possibly tube gale force, and one or two showers and Western Scotland. Northern ireland could catch the odd shower today but most will state dry with some bright spells. North east england seemed brighter breaks with some sunshine and the cloud breaking in part across england and wales generally. At worst bright spells and it is sunny spells but South East England seemed a lot of sunshine and in the sunshine we could see 15 or 16 celsius. As we go through the evening and overnight, once again there could be some clear spells. The wind will ease down in the north. There will still be some rain and showers around. These are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities, lower in rural areas. So chilly start tomorrow, but the weather very similar to today. Sunny spells, variable amounts of cloud and a few showers in the north west. For the weekend, a High Pressure across us, drifting further east from france, you will also notice a Weather Front across the north west, eventually bringing rain and a change to the weathertight. Before it does that, this weekend we are pumping up the wall, especially so during the course of sunday. Where we have the pale yellow, that indicates it will not be as warm. So that really covers northern and western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. So on saturday we start off on a chilly note. There will be a lot of sunshine across england, wales, Eastern Scotland, Eastern Parts of Northern Ireland. A bit more cloud towards the west, but thin cloud so there should be some bright spells. 0n thin cloud so there should be some bright spells. On sunday, after a chilly start, especially for england and wales, we see high temperatures. A Weather Front coming in introducing rain and strong winds across scotland and Northern Ireland. So here the Temperature Values will be between ten and 13 celsius, more or less where they should be at the stage in april. 0ut towards the west, 19 or 20 but as we drift over towards the south east and Eastern Parts, up to 23. But remember that Weather Front i showed you coming in from the north west . It is coming south. A cold front behind it on friday means those temperatures will be going down. Behind it on friday means those temperatures will be going downm course we remember we pay attention, we listen, we learn sometimes i even take note we will see you again very soon. All this week, we have been marking the 50th Anniversary of the beatles sergeant pepper album. Today we are focussing on the track shes leaving home, inspired by one teenager who ran away in the 1960s. Breakfasts john maguire has tracked her down, and he has been speaking to her about her experiences and connection to the song. Wednesday morning at five oclock as the day begins. Silently closing her bedroom door. Leaving the note that she hoped would say more. She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief. Half a century on, and im meeting the girl, now woman, who inspired shes leaving home. That is such a 60s photo, isnt it . Im about 16, 17 here. Melanie coe made Front Page News when she ran away, attracted by the Bright Lights of swinging 60s london, and there was something about her story that fired Paul Mccartneys imagination. Id listen, and id feel terribly sad. I still do, if i hear the song. I dont like to listen to the song. Its what my father said in the newspaper, is one of the refrains in the song, we gave her everything, everything money could buy. So it was clear that they had read the article. We gave her everything money could buy. Shes leaving home. Its different today. It seems to me a more serious issue, running away from home. Half a century on, so much has changed in our daily lives, but problems at home remain the prime reason for youngsters taking that drastic step. For me, it was something that i thought about, got scared of the idea, and then got even more scared of the idea of staying, so then i had to leave. This girl is now 17, but ran away when was 14. Not having anybody outside of my family network, its not like i had anyone to talk to, go to, and it was horrible. I sort of think of it and you think, no, i cant do. No, i cant do it, i cant do it. And then, when the moment hits, you just have to do it. You just dont want to be there anymore. The experience is horrible. She is being supported by the Charity Missing People and says she wishes she knew there was help available before she ran away. And, in these modern times, there is always the spectre of the internet, and the digital thumbprint that being mentioned online leaves. It is an area that is being investigated for the very first time here at the centre for the study of Missing Persons in portsmouth. Once there is the digital footprint of them on the internet, its there forever, almost. And they have not given consent for the images to be released. Its been done by parents, by authorities. And yet, theyre the ones that live with the consequences. Solutions are not so easy, but a so called right to be forgotten, where the details would be taken down from the internet, could help. 50 years separates these runaways, but uncertainty, risk, albeit in different forms, is just as prevalent today as it was in 1967, when she left home. John maguire, bbc news. Karen robinson from the Charity Missing Peoplejoins us now, to talk about some of the issues raised in johns film. Asjohn made the point himself, 50 yea rs asjohn made the point himself, 50 years apart, but actually the stories are the same, you see the same thing happening time and time again and the same reasons that people want to disappear. We do. In this country, 150,000 times a year our child will go missing, that is one every 20 minutes in the uk and you heard from a young person there who felt that she didnt know where to turn, she didnt know what to do, what our options were. We at the Charity People are therefore young people like her. If there is anyone having their breakfast and living in a situation where they cannot bear to stay there any more, because it is not safe, the Charity Missing People is there 24 hours a day throughout confidential hotline. And the emotions and turmoil which might make someone be in that position dont change over the years. Social media and technology and the way people communicate has changed a lot. What bearing does that have on people missing and those dynamics . Social media has given us a fantastic opportunity to appeal directly to someone like that young person, and let them know that we are here to help. So we support what the report is saying, but that needs to be used carefully and in a targeted way. It is vital that children have a right to be forgotten when they are found. But when they are missing they have a right to be cared for and protected, and we need to appeal directly to them, to let them know that someone is worrying about them. There will be children right now who are not being cared for and loved by anyone, who are being abused and exploited by people, and running away and fleeing from that is the right thing to do sometimes. What we need to do next is get them the help they need. Because what can happen someone can go missing and want to run away from home, but they can also change their mind. Absolutely, and if they change their mind we need to make sure they know where to turn for help. We need to let them know that running away isa to let them know that running away is a very difficult decision. The young person you featured wasnt sure, right until the moment she left, whether she should leave. That is exactly the kind of young person who needs to know there is 24 hour help out there from the Charity Missing People. Just tell us about the thing you mentioned a moment ago, the right to remain not found. It is instinctively, as a parent, you think you also have a right to know, dont you, if someone is safe, almost regardless of what has happened in the past. How do you marry those things up . It is a Balancing Act, and it is a difficult one. If there are parents watching this in the hideous position of having to decide, should i or shouldnt i give consent for my child to be appealed for the public, please contact us and we can help you think through that difficult decision. The Balancing Act is this. Anyone who goes missing has a right to be protected from harm, a right to be protected from harm, a right to life, a human right we all enjoy. And in the uk we live in a society which cares about us when we are vulnerable. So the parent and carer and anyone missing someone will be thinking i want help, i want people tojoin the search, thinking i want help, i want people to join the search, and thank goodness we live in communities which willjoin that search. The right to be forgotten is about saying when, thankfully, that person is found either safe and well or very sadly in some cases when they are not found safe and well, and have passed away, it is really important that we take that information out of the public domain, so that they and their families can move on. And we think there is more the police and the media can be doing, like the report was saying, to make sure that digital footprint is removed. Very interesting to talk to you. Thank you so much for your time this morning. You are watching breakfast. Still to come this morning we are live from Eltham Palace, which is under threat from Clothes Moths. There is an ongoing battle to protect rare furnishings and tapestries from the pests. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news.

Its a feeling sarra hoy, the wife of olympic cyclist, chris hoy, knows only too well. Two years ago, their son, callum was born at 29 weeks, weighing just two pounds and two ounces. Now, sarra is campaigning for better support for families of babies that are born premature or are sick. Sarra and callum join us now. Good morning good morning. How are you . Good, thank you. It is lovely to be he has brought some toys. He will play with his track behind the sofa. Take us back to the time you experienced. He was ill. We were told he had to come out and be borne by c section it is just a very terrifying time. I have discovered from speaking to other mothers that it is not uncommon where you have to have a premature birth. We are just looking at the pictures. He was tiny and very, very poorly. He was. We we re and very, very poorly. He was. We were lucky that he managed to go through intensive care. It was a straightforward journey for us. Many pa rents straightforward journey for us. Many parents have a much tougher ride. We we re parents have a much tougher ride. We were actually very, very fortunate. Iam were actually very, very fortunate. I am thankful for the care we had prior to the birth and afterwards for callum. It is difficult. He was infor2 for callum. It is difficult. He was in for 2 months. A period of time you would never want to revisit. At that time you said you were poorly and you knew that he was going to have to come out and there was nothing you could do about it. All sorts of horrendous things must go through your mind at that point. That point, unfortunately, no1 through your mind at that point. That point, unfortunately, no 1 can promise you or tell you what will happen. It happens fast. You are told we have gone as fast as we can and it is happening now. It is a feeling of disbelief that this is the end of your pregnancy and you have not arranged it or anything. Here you are facing the unknown. 1 hour before callum was being born we we re hour before callum was being born we were trying to find a name. We decided if he was going to die he should die with a name. Those are the thoughts that go through your mind. No1can the thoughts that go through your mind. No 1 can tell you it will be 0k. Fortunately, here you are, isnt ita 0k. Fortunately, here you are, isnt it a wonderful story . But many other people have a very, very difficult journey. It is very hard. In practical terms, when you think back to those times, i mean, you are dealing with the biggest of all things as a parent, thinking about, you know, possibly losing a child. In practical terms, what would have helped at that time, what would you have liked to happen around you that may have helped a bit . |j have liked to happen around you that may have helped a bit . I think probably to be told that that is a normal feeling, because probably to be told that that is a normalfeeling, because at probably to be told that that is a normal feeling, because at the time you feel very isolated. And that is where assistance can help. We were given that, but it is very difficult to ta ke given that, but it is very difficult to take in and take on board. I can see it all happening in hindsight. It is difficult to hear those things. But i think to understand you are not alone and also to learn that that many babies are born a year. Sorry. That are born prematurely or 6 and that need prenatal care. Sick. It is a large number of children. You are by yourself. People have walked the path before. We were lucky. We were inundated with messages from the public, a huge amount of support telling us that he will be ok and it will be ok, and just words of encouragement. Even then, it is hard, because no 1 can say you will be fine. It is really difficult. And what practical advice can you give to people who might face this . think first and foremost you need to talk. The charity i am involved in, bliss, they have a presence on all the prenatal units. They are either their face to face the prenatal units. They are either theirface to face or the prenatal units. They are either their face to face or there is a helpline. It is crucial information thatis helpline. It is crucial information that is on their website and you can just make you understand you are not by yourself and you can find information that you would otherwise have to find on random parts of the internet. And this is all over for you now . Shall we explain why . That is right. It is really relevant. Because i am pregnant. Congratulations. Thank you very much. It is a big step for mothers and fathers, i think, to decide to go down the road again. But what i have learned is that with any pregnancy you cannot plan anything. You are quite a bit out of control. Do some of those anxieties. They live with you, dont they . Yes. Every day. I look at callum and think i cant believe he is breathing by himself, and that is 2. 5 years on, and it still hits me. And i am in a much better place. I think what i would like to say to any parents is, time heals, and it does get better, but at the same time, to talk. You arent alone, and whatever feelings you are having, i can pretty much guarantee you are not the first and only person to have had those feelings, whether they are good or very bad and if you can try and Contact People who can help you, such as bliss, then it is really important. And carol has resolutely refuse to look at the camera for us, but he is completely free to do that. The back of the sofa is much more interesting, and he is busy taking this microphone off perfect timing. Thank you for bringing your toys in for us. Say goodbye to everybody. There you are. He couldnt look more healthy, could he . Lovely to see. You have missed a treat, a gorgeous boy on this so far. Not even for carol. Heres a wee cutie, that callum, isnt he . Far. Not even for carol. Heres a wee cutie, that callum, isnt ham isa wee cutie, that callum, isnt ham is a fine start to the day for many parts. There are some fine cloud, as we can see from the weather watchers pictures. There are some fog around the airport and we also have a fine start in cheshire. Again, in northwich. What is happening is High Pressure is dominating, things are fairly settled and pollen levels are high across south wales to east anglia and south. It is tree pollen, which may well be affecting you, worth mentioning before you set out. High pressure will remain with us as we head on into the weekend. Across the far north and north west we have some drizzle, some showers and some rain, and strengthening wind but for most it will be dry, settled, and we will have something cloud. The showers continue in the afternoon, the wind strengthens across shetland, the brighter skies across Eastern Scotland and North East England but having said that across Northern Ireland, although you are not completely immune to a shower, something cloud and bright spells and even sunny spells are possible. North east england seeing some sunshine. The rest of england and wales, cloudy at times, but thin cloud, some bright and sunny spells. South wales and South West England seeing sunshine, with highs of up to 15 or 16. Through the evening and overnight there will be some holes in the cloud. Some eastern fog forming, but nothing too much. We carry on with the showers and the rain in the north but the wind starting to ease. That leaves us into a very similar day tomorrow. Again, largely dry, a few showers in the north west, some sunny spells and temperatures roughly 11 to 14. For some in the sunshine, a little bit higher. This weekend, High Pressure still with us, drifting over towards the east, allowing the air air over towards the east, allowing the airairaround it to over towards the east, allowing the air air around it to come up from the wall near continent. The warmest conditions this weekend will be on sunday, especially across england and wales. As you can tell from this amber colour. Where we have the yellow, this is where the Weather Front is and it will feel quite fresh. To start with on saturday, a nippy start, A Touch Of Frost, a lot of sunshine for england and wales, Eastern Scotland and the east of Northern Ireland. Thin cloud across Western Scotland and western parts of Northern Ireland. As we head into sunday, after another chilly start under clear skies, A Touch Of Frost. A lot of sunshine but where we have a Weather Front producing stronger breezes and some rain it is not going to feel as warm. Temperatures between ten and 13, which is roughly where it should be at this stage. The highest temperatures will be across central and eastern and south Eastern Parts of england, up towards 23, that is 73 fahrenheit. If we recall the Weather Front coming across scotland and Northern Ireland, it continues its descent towards the south, so by the time we get to monday, temperatures which at 23 on sunday will be more like 12, possibly to 14. So you will notice the difference, but temperatures still not bad for this time of year. We will take not bad. Thank you. The co operative group runs supermarkets, funeral and Insurance Businesses, but it has had a tough time of late. Ben has chatting to the boss. In the last hour, the co operative group has reported a pre tax loss of £132 million. That is after a lot of costs associated with the ailing co 0p bank. It still owns 20 of the bank, but has now valued that stake at nothing. It is still looking to sell it. But elsewhere, food sales were up, its Insurance Business is doing well, and funeral Care Division has seen strong sales. Steve murrells is the new boss. He took on the top job in february. Nice to see you. We should save you are running the food business for five years. So congratulations on the newjob. The loss of £132 million, down from a £23 million profit in the year before. It is a big loss. Why . It is true to say it is disappointing, but it is purely a decision by the group to reduce the value we have in the bank, and it in no way reflects what has been a great year for the group, no way reflects what has been a great yearfor the group, in no way reflects what has been a great year for the group, in the areas of our food, our funerals and our Insurance Businesses, which is the areas that i spent all of my time focused on. We have seen growth in all of those businesses, we are attracting more members to our unique scheme, and we have seen our operating profits grow by 30 . So the co op is actually back in our co re the co op is actually back in our core businesses, albeit that we have had to take account of the banks performance. I will come onto the other bits of the business in a minute. Looking at the bank, for people who are not sure how it works, you owned 20 the bank, you put a value on what you thought that was worth. You have said from 140 million quid, it is now worth nothing. How can a 20 stake in a bank be worth nothing . So we are being very prudent in the way we value the bank, and we have chosen to do that because there is a sale process going on. That is felt to be the right thing to do, it is during a sale is quite a volatile market. So this is purely an accounting treatment. We are very hopeful the bank will find a bidder. 2 million of our members have accounts with the bank, but we are a minority shareholder, and there is only so much that i can say while the big process is going bid process is going on. And expressions of interest ended on tuesday. I assume you cant tell me whether you have any expressions of interests, but i assume you have a buyer. That is something the bank to manage through. As a shareholder, we will be told at the appropriate time along with the other shareholders and we are still waiting to hear that news. Looking at the other bits of the business, retail, supermarkets, funeral and insurance. Supermarkets, given the price wars we have seen it as a tough market to be in. You have opened 112 new stores, you have closed 141, so about the same. Food prices a big issue, as because they are now starting to creep up again. What reassurance can you have for customers that prices will not keep on rising . So we have ajob to customers that prices will not keep on rising . So we have a job to do to get a balance between looking after great suppliers and making sure that we keep the ceiling on prices which arise for our members and customers. That is what we spend all our time one worrying about. I think we are getting a balance right, including with the new membership scheme we have just launched. Every time you buy a product you get 5 off the price which you can redeem when you buy co op product in the future. So we are trying to bring value through that lands, and make the shopping trip as cost free as it possibly can be through that lens. Trip as cost free as it possibly can be through that lens. You have talked about wanting to enter new markets which arent serving people well. Are you throwing down the gau ntlet well. Are you throwing down the gauntlet for tesco, asda . No, they did it through disrupting markets. We think the way we do business in a different way, and our ethics, will enable us to look at new markets in the future. We havejust enable us to look at new markets in the future. We have just started, enable us to look at new markets in the future. We havejust started, i am just on the job, very early, as you say. But i think with the stable based the group is in, we can look promising in the future. More from me after eighta. M. Have you ever had to throw out your favourite jumper has a cheeky moth has got to it . And they always seem to eat them in the worst place. think it is because of how you store them and fold them. Imagine if that problem is much bigger and you run a beautiful palace. 0ur reporter fiona lamdin is at Eltham Palace to tell us more. Moths are a problem there as well. Moths are a problem there as well. Moths are a problem there as well. Moths are definitely a problem here. A couple of years ago they had 300, they now have 1200. If ijust take you through into the italian drawing room, iam you through into the italian drawing room, i am just going to show you some of the damage, what they have been eating. In this victorian gun case, if i flip is open, you can see some of the damage along the lining and this camel coat. They have clearly been having a munch. Just coming over to rebecca, tell us how you are combating the moths. We do very deep cleans over the winter, we are just reopening more extensively after our very deep clean. Lots of vacuuming, we check the collection, and we disturb the moths. Clean and disturb them. It is most certainly a battle. And it has doubled in the last five years, so and it has doubled in the last five years, so it is a battle. And les hill is here to promote the moths, because you say they are not all pests.

Well, the blossoms are in full bloom across the capital at the moment, and weve got the best weather to enjoy it in. Now, yesterday we saw 16 degrees, with plenty of sunny spells around. Today, it is looking remarkably similar. It will stay dry with lots of sunshine emerging at times. Always plenty of cloud, though, and locally a pretty chilly start where we have had a clear spells overnight. Down to four or five degrees away from towns. Plenty of sunshine this morning. A bit more Cloud Building in the afternoon but still some sunny spells emerging. In the best of those, it will feel very nice indeed. Top temperatures between 14 and 16 degrees celsius. The winds are light, just be aware that the tree pollen levels today are high. 0vernight tonight, little changes. There will be some clear spells around. Away from towns, we could expect to see lows of around four or five degrees. A bit of a chilly start again to tomorrow where weve got the clear spells. High pressure dominates, notjust tomorrow, but also the weekend. So it is going to stay dry, the winds will be light, and in the sunshine it will feel quite nice. There will still be lots of cloud around tomorrow and then we start to draw in a southerly wind over the course of the weekend, and this is going to bring us some warmth. 16 or 17 degrees on saturday, maybe 23 on sunday. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and sally nugent.

Speaking of hearts, childrens authorJulia Donaldson will be here with an illustrator. And carol has the weather. You might need a hat in the next few days as High Pressure is firmly in charge. It will get warmer. There will be a fair bit of sunshine in the weekend, except for parts of scotla nd the weekend, except for parts of scotland and Northern Ireland, with highs of up to 23 celsius. Good morning. First, our main story. The Supreme Court will rule today on whether parents can take their children on holiday in term time, without Breaking The Law. Its considering the case ofjon platt, who refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter to florida for a week in 2015. The decision could mean big changes for parents across england, as Clive Coleman reports. In 2015, jon platt took his daughter out of school for a weeks holiday. He was fined £120 by his local council on the Isle Of Wight. He refused to pay, as his daughter was regularly attending school. 0ne one in nine parents received a truancy penalty last year. Thats a Staggering Number of people who received these fines last year. My assessment is that any unauthorised absence was a criminal offence, according to the Isle Of Wight council. Following concerns that some families saw term time holidays at cheaper prices as a right, rules came in in 2013, allowing local councils to find a peer and £60 per child, doubling to £120 if not paid within 21 days. But the fines did not stop a rise in absences. Last year, more than 80,000 pupils in england missed one or more sessions of school for family holidays. That is up more than 100,000 from the previous year. Term time holidays account for a quarter of sessions. The Department For Education says unauthorised absences damage life chances of children. This head teacher agrees. The chaos caused by a child missing for an extended period of time, three, four, five days, two weeks, can be huge. The impact will ripple on for months afterwards. Think about it. If coming to school did not make a difference, we would not send them to school. The court case centres on what amounts to regular attendance at school. A win forjon platt would give parents more confidence to take their children on holiday during term time, knowing they would not be Breaking The Law. Clive coleman, bbc news. In few minutes will be speaking to former Chief Inspector of schools in england, Sir Michael Wilshaw. Lots of you getting in touch. The white house has sent out a warning to russia over its support of the Syrian Regime, following the Chemical Attacks which killed at least 72 people earlier this week. Us Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson said it was time russia examined its support of president assad. Donald trump condemned the attacks as an affront to humanity, as Alexandra Mackenzie reports. The town of Khan Sheikhoun, where no one will forget the horror of what happened. These men survived, but they lost mothers, fathers, and children. In washington, the words of a president. These heinous actions by the assad regime cannot be tolerated. Donald trump made no mention of russia, who, at the United Nations security council, blamed Syrian Rebels for the chemical attack, which prompted this response. Us ambassador nikky haley showed graphic pictures of the dead. We cannot close our eyes to them. How many more children have to die before russia cares . And further direct pressure on moscow from a Senior Member of the trump administration. Well, there is no doubt in our mind that the Syrian Regime is responsible for this attack. We think it is time the russians to rethink their continued support of the assad regime. This comes amid final preparations for Donald Trumps first meeting with chinas president xi jinping in florida later today, an encounter that could be choppy. We cant continue to allow china to rape our country. They have taken our money, they have taken ourjobs. China is a currency manipulator. The leaders of the worlds two largest economic leaders come together north korea and their Future Trade Relationship will be at the top of the agenda. Donald Trumps Campaign rhetoric will be put to the test. Alexander mckenzie, bbc news. The labour party has pledged to provide every Primary School pupil in england with a Free School Meal, in an effort to improve results and health, if it wins the next general election. Jeremy corbyn says he would fund the policy by charging vat on Private School Fees. 0ur political correspondent, ellie price, joins us. Talk us through how this would work . Yes, this is a big plate and not a cheap one. Labour say it would cost about 900 Million Pounds and they would pay for it by raising vat on Private School Fees. That, they say, would raise about £1. 5 billion. Area, shadow of the secretary Andrea Rayner said the pledge would make the system more fair. We know that the government had that private providing Free School Meals for all Primary School aged children will increase attainment and mean healthier lifestyles for those young people. You get much more efficiency and much more for your money by doing that. 93 of children are in the state system. Only 7 are in the Private School system, therefore, the subsidy that schools get at the moment is not good use of public money. Obviously this policy is not without its critics. The independent Schools Council say the sums do not add up, and there are a number of pupils around the third of Private Schools are already pay reduced fees. This could put some schools out of business. Talk us through the headache that remains of Ken Livingstone . Where are we now . This policy was designed to distract from some of the trouble labour has found itself in this week. The Ken Livingstone story has been running on since tuesday, when there was a hearing that decided he should be suspended for another year following comments he made linking zionism to hitler. Yesterday, 100 labour mps signed a motion that said failing to expel him had betrayed the values of the party. Then we had Jeremy Corbyn would prefer Ken Livingstone back to the National Governing body, to decide whether any the common sea has made since had gone against the pa rtys has made since had gone against the partys policy. So what we are going to hear now is whether there will be another Disciplinary Panel. It is the Disciplinary Panel that only has the Disciplinary Panel that only has the power to expel him. And yes, this story is rumbling on and on for a labour, and something they could do without. Theres a call for the drug, ketamine, to be used more widely to treat depression. Psychiatrists say theyve had some success with a human trial using the class b substance, which is also a horse sedative. They now want it to be used more widely within the nhs, and for a National Database to be set up, so doctors who prescribe ketamine can monitor its results. Jane dreaper reports life is good for helen. This is the best that she has felt in seven years. Depression and anorexia took their toll, but taking part in these Nhs Drug Trial has stopped her feeling like she is drowning in her own thoughts. I connect with my kids. I can take my kids to their friends Birthday Parties, go on the odd play date every now and then. Actually be present in my kids lives, which is the most important thing to me. Helin is among the first patients to have this experimental treatment. Doctors can prescribe ketamine as a licensed drug. All the patients in this trial had moderate or severe depression and other treatments have failed. 42 of the 100 and one on one patients felt better after having ketamine. It is better to use it in a controlled environment, obviously. What we would like to do is the more centres starting to use ketamine, because we feel we will get more experience of exactly how we can help the bulk who really nothing has helped them. Patients in oxford receive the drug through a drip in carefully controlled conditions in hospital. The doctors here believe thousands more people could benefit from this treatment. But they warn ketamine should only be taken under medical supervision. Pepsi has dropped its latest commercial, after a backlash on social media. The advert features the model kendalljenner, and shows herjoining a group of protesters and handing a Police Officer a can, prompting him to smile while marchers cheer and hug. Activists say it undermines Rights Protests and public unrest in america. Warm weather on the way for the weekend. Carol as godfrey forecast in five minutes. Parents across england will be watching closely today, as the Supreme Court delivers its ruling on term time holiday fines. It could mean less financial penalties for those taking their children out of school to go on family breaks. Over 90,000 parents were fined a total of £5. 6 million for doing just that during the 2014 15 academic year. Lancashire council issued the most more than 4,000 fines. Todays case relates tojon platt, a father from the Isle Of Wight who won a High Court Battle after refusing to pay a £120 fine for taking his daughter on a week long trip to disneyland in florida. Somebody has to have the final say about the day is a child goes to school for mac doesnt. Is that the state were the parents . I think that is what this boils down to. We can speak now to former Chief Inspector of schools in england, Sir Michael Wilshaw, who joins us from our london studio. Good morning. What will this ruling mean today for Head Teachers if it goesin mean today for Head Teachers if it goes in favour of the parents . hope the court of appeal upholds the governments appeal. I hope it sends a very clear message to parents, and irresponsible parents who take their children out of school for no good reason, that this sort of behaviour is entirely unacceptable. And if the court of appeal doesnt uphold the appeal, it will open the floodgates to parents like this to take their children out midyear, at difficult times in the school year when children are preparing for examinations, and undoubtedly it will lead to a decline in standards. But it want just will lead to a decline in standards. But it wantjust clear the way will lead to a decline in standards. But it want just clear the way for pa rents to but it want just clear the way for parents to do what they like, will it . Thisjust parents to do what they like, will it . This just means councils will have to think hard before they fine a parent . I think councils do that. It is interesting in your piece before this that lancashire has taken out more prosecutions than most other local authorities. Lancashire, i know well. Ispoke most other local authorities. Lancashire, i know well. I spoke to several headteachers there. Lancashire is doing very well academically. Most of the schools are outstanding or good. Compared to the Isle Of Wight, where this action is taking place, which is one of the worst performing areas of the country. It is good local authorities and good Head Teachers that are taking the necessary action against irresponsible and feckless pa rents. Against irresponsible and feckless parents. Lets leave feckless pa rents for parents. Lets leave feckless parents for a moment. The idea of flexible holiday is hugely popular. There was a petition recently and hundreds of thousands of parents signed it, the possibility of being able to use a holiday allowance and allow some flexible edgy, what do you think . Al are the schools dont have that luxury of flexibility. When children go off on a weeks holiday, they then return and teachers have to work doubly hard to get them to catch up on their work. And to prepare them for examinations. Schools and Head Teachers get heavily criticised by ofsted and others for not doing well by their children. You are sorry to interrupt you but it seems that schools do have the flexibility because this is how it works in wales. Headteachers can grant ten days term time holiday at their discretion. Surely england should be brought into line . There are no finds in scotland and Northern Ireland. Have you looked at the tables . Have you looked at performance for wales compared to england . England performance for wales compared to england . England outperform performance for wales compared to england . England outperform wales, Northern Ireland and scotland in the latest results. The welsh Education System is clanking and this is one of the reasons for that decline. We have had many parents be in touch with us this morning, this is from vinny in essex, i have three children, only my eldest child has been on holiday. I know school is important but so are childhood memories. If i cant choose when to holiday them, we will never have a holiday, because we cant afford to go during school holidays. One week out of school wont ruin my childs education. Well, it does, and i speak as an ex head teacher because it imposes a much greater burden on schools to ensure that child does not fall behind their studies and is prepared well for examinations. No. Pa rents prepared well for examinations. No. Parents have got to come if they love their children and care for their children, they have got the balance holiday time with school time. Once they are in school, they should observe the school rules. do know if you have been watching the programme this morning, we have been talking about labours proposal to provide funding for Free School Meals every Primary School child in this country. What do you make of that . I have already said on this one i think the pupil prewritten di premium has made a big difference. I would much rather see any extra money being derived from extra taxation, whether Private Schools or other sources, given to the poorest children in our country and not necessarily subsidising those pa rents necessarily subsidising those parents who can afford Free School Meals. I would parents who can afford Free School Meals. Iwould rather the parents who can afford Free School Meals. I would rather the extra money raised went to the poorest communities and poorest children we re communities and poorest children were it is actually making a big difference in reducing the attainment gap between the Free School Milk children and others. So are you saying it is a bad idea . think the labour party should rethink this and recalibrated, and ensure that the extra Funds Available go to the poorest communities. And how would you do that . We know the numbers of Free School Milk children, in particular local authorities. We know where the greatest disadvantage resides and thatis greatest disadvantage resides and that is where the money should be spent. Thank you for your time. Some sunshine happening, some today, more later. This is else palace in greenwich, looking fabulous. Did i just see someone runaway there . There was a person. People are there, too. Carol, will we see more of that kind of sunshine in the next few days . We certainly are, the forecast for the next few days, largely dry, there will be some sunshine, especially as we head into the weekend, and it will certainly be warmer this weekend. Some parts of england will get up to 23 celsius. The average is roundabout 13 celsius in london. If you have an allergy to tree pollen, the levels are high. If anything over the next few days you will find that the high levels will probably be raised across parts of Northern England as well. High pressure firmly in charge of things means that the weather is fine and settled, not huge changes of the next few days. They few showers today across Western Scotland and some rain across the northern isles. For most of us there is some finn cloud around. Sunny spells develop. If you dont have that then you will find we are looking and bright spells. My child has stopped working for now so i willjust carry on with the Weather Forecast anyway. What you can expect is just that, there will be some holes in the cloud, some sunshine. Where we have the sunshine, we will have ties up to 15 or16 sunshine, we will have ties up to 15 or 16 celsius, particularly across South West England, south wales, north west england and Eastern Scotland. The winter strengthens the gale force later potentially across shetland, we will carry on with some rain and also have some showers across Western Scotland. Tomorrow the weather is very similar to today. Once again we are looking at some cloud around, some sunny spells, temperatures roughly 11 to 14 in the sunshine you could get a little bit higher. Into the weekend that High Pressure really dominates. You will find as things remain settles as they drift towards the east, we start to pull in milder, warm airfrom the near east, we start to pull in milder, warm air from the near continent but we have a Weather Front across the north west, introducing thicker cloud and some rain. Warmer weather pumping upfrom cloud and some rain. Warmer weather pumping up from the near continent, especially on sunday, as denoted by the amber colours. Where we have the yellows, that is not as warm. So in the north west where we have a Weather Front it will be fresher. First thing saturday, it will be a frosty start for some of us but there will be a loss of sunshine, england, wales, is the in scotland, Northern Ireland. A bit more cloud across Western Scotland and western parts of Northern Ireland but still some sunny spells. On sunday, a similar story to start with. Where we have the clear skies by night, especially in rural areas, there will be some frost but a lot of sunny spells around, wall to wall blue skies, except in scotland and Northern Ireland where we have breeze and rain. As a result, the damage will be a bit repressed. Across Northern Ireland, wales, into parts of western england we are looking easily 19 to 21 but it is across central and eastern and southern england that we could hit 23. The average in london is 13. That is not going to last because the Weather Front bringing the rain into scotland and Northern Ireland will have pushed across a slow and temperatures will be back to where they should be. Sorry about my charts, they just they should be. Sorry about my charts, theyjust decided to stop. As if by magic at all started working again, how did you fix that made forecast it is that little button she has got, she pushes the button she has got, she pushes the button and it fixes everything. wish i could say that was true. I have a gremlin in the works today. All this week we have been marking the 50th Anniversary of the beatles sergeant peppers album. Wednesday morning at 5 oclock as the day begins. Silently closing her bedroom door. Leaving the note that she hoped would say more. She goes downstairs to the kitchen, clutching her handkerchief. Half a century on, and im meeting the girl, now woman, who inspired shes leaving home. That is such a 60s photo, isnt it . Im about 16, 17 here. Melanie coe made Front Page News when she ran away, attracted by the Bright Lights of swinging 60s london, and there was something about her story that fired Paul Mccartneys imagination. Id listen, and id feel terribly sad. I still do, if i hear the song. I dont like to listen to the song. Its what my father said in the newspaper, is one of the refrains in the song, we gave her everything, everything money could buy. So it was clear that they had read the article. We gave her everything money could buy. Shes leaving home. Its different today. It seems to me a more serious issue, running away from home. Half a century on, so much has changed in our daily lives, but problems at home remain the prime reason for youngsters taking that drastic step. For me, it was something that i thought about, got scared of the idea, and then got even more scared of the idea of staying, so then i had to leave. This girl is now 17, but ran away when she was 14. Not having anybody outside of my family network, its not like i had anyone to talk to, go to, and it was horrible. I sort of think of it, and you think, no, i cant do. No, i cant do it, i cant do it. And then, when the moment hits, you just have to do it. You just dont want to be there anymore. The experience is horrible. She is being supported by the Charity Missing People, and says she wishes she knew there was help available before she ran away. And, in these modern times, there is always the spectre of the internet, and the digital thumbprint that being mentioned online leaves. It is an area that is being investigated for the very first time here at the centre for the study of Missing Persons in portsmouth. Once there is the digital footprint of them on the internet, its there forever, almost. And they have not given consent for the images to be released. Its been done by parents, by authorities. And yet theyre the ones that live with the consequences. Solutions are not so easy, but a so called right to be forgotten, where the details would be taken down solutions are not so easy, but a so called right to be forgotten, where the details would be taken down from the internet, could help. 50 years separates these runaways, but uncertainty, risk, albeit in different forms, is just as prevalent today as it was in 1967, when she left home. John maguire, bbc news. It has been a brilliant look at that album this week. Absolutely. Just pick up on some of your comments with the issue of taking your children on holiday during term time. There is a High Court Ruling about whether parents would continue to be fined. This from nicky. Pa rents to be fined. This from nicky. Parents should be allowed to take them on holiday. Quality family time is such an important part of parenting. Jeannie says over not ta ke parenting. Jeannie says over not take my children out of school during term time, if you start picking and choosing which rules to follow, what does that teach the child . We are expecting that ruling from the Supreme Court at around 9 30am. All the details on the bbc news channel. Here on breakfast in a few moments, well have a summary of the mornings news and kat will have the sport. And later on, well be finding out why some of englands Historic Homes are under threat and it isnt from neglect or decay. Fiona lamdin is in greenwich for us this morning and can tell us more. Good morning, yes, we are at Eltham Palace where we are seeing their battle with the moths. In 2015, they caught 300. Last year they caught 1200. Ina caught 300. Last year they caught 1200. In a moment, we will be seeing just what they have been eating, but now the news and the weather where you are. Good morning. If you are up early enough you will have noticed the chill in southern areas. The payoff for that is a lovely start. This is the sunrise in somerset. With High Pressure sitting across the uk today, it should foremost be dry and bright. However, we will find quite a bit of cloud easing its way south. The best of the sunshine is likely to be through the morning hours. Still some sharp showers for the northern isles. Gale force winds tapering off. Mostly dried over scotland. Just odd shower. Some of the best sunshine will be perhaps north east and south east part of scotla nd north east and south east part of scotland this afternoon. Elsewhere, the northwest breeze will be rather gentle and bring the cloud in. It could thicken enough for the odd shower. Through the evening and overnight, you can see very little changes under that ridge of High Pressure. We find a few more holes in the cloud. That is where we see a touch of grass frost. It will be a chilly start to thursday morning. We keep the largely dry picture continuing through thursday and friday, with some sunshine around, albeit best in the morning. Some chilly nights. Thursday starting off ona chilly nights. Thursday starting off on a chilly night. They could be some sunshine. It will be fleeting. Plenty of dry and bright weather. For the vast majority, it is a dry day again. Just a few showers pestering the west of scotland. Temperatures creeping up, average for the time of the year. The hope is that for the weekend, it should be warmer with more sunshine. This is business live from bbc news, with Jamie Robertson and sally bundock.
