Teachers who are having to teach children to get them through their exams, and are having to say that with term time holidays every single week there could be a child missing . Theres always kids off school sick. And sometimes kids off with term time holidays. The issue is blown out of all proportion because, for every child who misses a day because of a term time holiday, there are 12 days missed because of illness. The cost of holidays outside of term time, home and abroad, is a worry for lots of families. So whats happended since last years case . 108 councils in england responded to our questions. 35 councils say they have changed their policy since the judgment. Five more are reviewing theirs. 28 have dropped cases against parents. 22 have noticed parents taking more term time holidays. Councils from the Isle Of Wight to the north of england have different policies. Some Issue Thousands of fines. Others almost none. One dads battle here on the Isle Of Wight has implications for parents across england. Its drawn a line in the sand, with, on the one hand, the government insisting that every day missed matters. And on the other, parents furious about the cost of paying for holidays. Ministers say exam results shape childrens futures and missing even a few days makes a clear difference. Many headteachers agree. It does matter. It does make a difference. We look at our students, and any student who has attendance below 95 , we can track the fact that their progress isnt as good as it should be. Its notjust about one dad. His case could have a big impact. The Supreme Court will reach a decision within months. Branwen jeffreys, bbc news. Lets catch up with the latest weather. It is not looking amazing. It will be mild but spells of wind and rain heading in our direction. Weve had a soggy day across many parts of england and wales. Scloonted and the far north of england was sunny. But this is what it looks like this week. Spells of rain becoming windy and mild. This is the rain were getting rid of now. Most is across east anglia at the moment. Behind it a legacy of cloud and drizzle. It is a really damp night. Mild in the south. But look at that, scotland, you can see that hue of blue, thats the frost. Harsh in the glens, as low as minus 10. Not as cold in glasgow and edinburgh. Tomorrow, possibly sunshine in cumbria and yorkshire but look at, that the midlands and south west into Northern Ireland cloudy, with outbreaks of rain. Tuesday and wednesday, tuesday another grey day with outbreaks of rain, mild, though, but wednesday, i suspect the cloud will break up, so well see Something Like this, at least sunny spells coming through. Hello. This is bbc news with ben brown. Its time now for The Travel Show he coming up on this weeks travel show, i go way back in time, here in turkey. Join me as i go underground to explore a vast hidden city. Wow and get to see some amazing meditation in motion up close. And we also head to italy, to talk to the mayor who wants to take meat off the menu in her town. Sumptuous. Really, really nice. Now, italy is a country perhaps best known for its history and its food, and Apennine Mount region sees itself as the nations home of gastrononmy, but now the mayor of turin wants to start a revolution in the citys restaurants. We sent rajan to find out why. Spaghetti some historical cities never lose their grandeur, even in mid winter. The elegant royal city of turin and, yes, those really are the alps behind me. Now, this city is famous for its cars, its cuisine and its role in the creation of the italian nation, but now its staking a claim as being the capital of vegetarianism. Thats the dream of turins new mayor, the 31 year old chiara appendino, who swept into power last summer on an anti establishment ticket. Food is notjust a matter of eating, its a matter of being, having knowledge on what you eat, how you eat it, where you eat it and also about the story of what youre eating. Its a matter of health. Its a matter of respecting the environment. So when we talk about vegetarianism, were talking about what it means to have a food policy and what it means to having knowledge of what youre eating. Are you a vegetarian . No, im not. Among the proposals are. A Vegetarian Map for tourists. One meat free day a week and teaching children about Animal Welfare and ecology. But this is the land of vitello tonnato, veal with tuna sauce. Brasato al barolo, beef braised in local wine. Spaghetti bolognese and beef steak. So how will the mayors plans go down in a city thats Notjust Blue Blooded in its history, but traditionally red blooded with its cuisine . In surveys, 10 of italians regard themselves as veggie and only 1 vegan. This is porta palazzo, the largest open market in europe and if you want to get a sense of how much people in this city love their food, just look around here. This may be an industrial town, but turin is also surrounded by really good soil for vegetables and fruit. Itjust goes on forever, just stall after stall after stall of vegetables and fruit. I think that the tradition of italian cooking and especially the turin cooking is not vegetarian, so its a good thing to eat vegetables, but not all the vegetables, also meat is important. As a non meat eater myself, im curious as to how realistic the proposals are. According to the mayors office, there are already at least 30 vegan and vegetarian restaurants, like this one, in turin, but she wants many more. How creative do you have to be to make vegan and vegetarian food . For the kind of cuisine we make here, we want to propose something new, something different, and then we starting a lot about different kinds of ingredients or technique. A lot of dishes inside the Italian Culture are vegan, but people dont know. People eat spaghetti and tomatoes and think about spaghetti and tomatoes, but its vegan based, do you know what i mean . So its natural in italian food . Yes, its really easy. This soup is a cream made with potatoes. Luca got into veganism, he told me, through the punk scene when he was young. This is vegan parmesan. He feels turin is ahead of the game on eating trends. Then we have to carve the truffle. Oops its not easy, i know. Its not easy. One of the most famous and the first vegan festival in italy was in turin, like the first gay pride was in turin. I think its like a really european and open minded city. Sumptuous. Really, really nice. Not surprisingly for those whose livelihoods depend on the meat industry, the idea of a vegetarian city is propostous and donkeys might fly, as the saying goes here. Buon giorno, piercarlo. Buon giorno, buon giorno. Piercarlos grandfather started this business in 1928. Meat is sourced from five farms in the prestigious alba area and its pride and joy is the beef of a Local Breed Of Cow called the fassone. Piercarlo says many local people rely on the meat trade for work and jobs could be at risk. The fact is, though, this is a region that has also always celebrated the diversity of its food, its deep links to the soil and its refined tastes and aromas. The bella vita, in fact. To be fair, it wouldnt be the first time that this city has led the world in changing its eating habits. The now world famous slow food movement, which celebrates Healthy Eating and promotes good Food Products started in this very region. Its safe to say that meat will not be disappearing for most menus in turin for the foreseeable future. But the new mayors administration, for all the talk of ending political gimmickry, has shown itself to be very skilful at seizing the agenda. By using the veggie angle, turin has also been able to shout from the rooftops about its other unique assets and raised its Tourist Profile in the process. Talk about having your cake and eat it umm, wow wow still to come on this weeks travel show i hit the road here in turkey and join the archeologists who are unearthing a fascinating part of the countrys past. And also get to see an amazing display of movement and meditation up close. The travel show, your essential guide whereever youre heading. Now, turkey is a country maybe best known to travellers for its sun and sea holidays, but as a bridge between europe and asia, the country also has a fascinating history, as im about to discover. Im travelling to the centre of the country, nevsehir in cappadocia. Millions of years ago, the region was covered volcanic ash which hardened over time to form this dream like landscape. For centuries, settlers have tunnelled into the rock to create over 200 underground cities and villages. So many, that the areas recognised as a World Heritage site. Good morning, sami. Good morning, henry. But im here to see a recent discovery that might top the others. In the heart of the town, among the modern houses and office buildings, workers made a startling find as they cleared a hillside for redevelopment the largest underground city of its kind. Excavations have revealed these openings, dug into the side of the hill. Experts estimate the caves could extend over 450,000 square metres. Wow, look at all of this. Ifind it quite hard to believe that there were People Living on top of here and all of this was actually hidden, so they had no idea that this was here. No. That is insane. Wow, that ceiling is rather unique, isnt it . Whats all this . This is a monastery and, according to the scientists, the monastery dates back to the 6th century ad. Its not in the best of conditions, but you can definitely see that outline, that cross there. Yeah. Yeah, you can. This region was really important for the early christians. So do you find that some people are surprised to hear that turkey has had such a christian history . Most of the visitors which come to turkey as a tourist, yes, because turkeys a single country on earth which has got the function of a bridge which is connecting two continents together asia to europe, europe to asia. Nearly 30 different civilisations that pass through this country, those are the civilisations which leave some remains. Its thought christian settlers used these caves 1,500 years ago. The Winding Tunnels and hidden openings offered protection from attacking armies. Starting at the early christian period, the enemies was the roman empire. After 6th, 7th century, the enemies was arab, persians. And while they were attacking very often and how they could fight against the professional soldiers. Now, sami, ive noticed a couple of these around the caves themselves. What exactly is it . This is a stone door. That must weigh at least, how much do you think . Around 1000lb, 500 kilograms. So it actually moves still . Yes, look. Wow, thats a little precarious. Its a little bit steep, isnt it . Yes. There are so many little holes you can actually put your foot in and fall through. What is this area, what is it used for . I mean this section has been used as a burial places, tombs, or family burial chambers. The caves werent simply used for hiding. As well as burials, archeologists believe the network was used to store produce and transport goods. Now these particular tunnels are a bit of a tight squeeze and thats because theyre part of the underground water system. Now they think that it stretches for about 12 kilometres, but at the moment theyve only uncovered about 500 metres of it and its definitely not recommended if youre a little bit claustrophobic. Luckily, im not. No one is certain how long ago the first tunnels were built, they might be as much as 5,000 years old, long are before the christians settled here. Only a small portion of the network has been excavated so far and experts hope there are plenty more discoveries waiting to be unearthed. Wow, look at that. Ive actually heard of this spot because all the archeologists are very excited about this, arent they . This is a church. An underground cave church, the experts are dating back to the 12th century. You cant help but notice that these ones are pretty well kept, but a lot of them have, kind of, disintegrated away, some have fallen away from the actual ceiling. Probably, when we got to the other section of the church, over there, things will be much better preserved or which are under the soil will be much better preserved than those ones. So this is going to take quite a long while because you need the specialists who will take care in removing the dirt and, hopefully, finding some more fresh bits. Going forward, there are plans to turn sections of the cave network into an archaeological park with Art Galleries and boutique hotels. Authorities hope to open it to the public in 2018, when visitors can see the excavations in their full glory. Now, im leaving that dig at nevsehir behind and heading westwards towards the city of konya. Like many places in turkey, its seen civilisations come and go from the romans to the persians, but perhaps what its best known for was being the home of a man whos often referred to as the islamic shakespeare. Come, come again, whoever you are, come heathen, Fire Worshipper or idolatrous, come the words of a 13th century religious scholar, mystic and poet called mevlana rumi, whose work has been studied and venerated for centuries in the east and become increasingly popular in the west. Come as you are. As you are. Musicians from top 90s Grunge Group Nirvana To Madonna have used text attributed to rumi in their work. Hes currently, almost 800 years after his death, the best selling poet in america. The son of a religious scholar, rumi spent much of his childhood travelling throughout the islamic world before finally making his home here in konya, in central anatolia. He became well known not only for his interpretation of koranic verse, but also the honesty and humour in his writing and his clear sense of morality, leaving behind countless poems that still resonate today. And now many people come here to konya to see where the man, who is often referred to as the islamic shakespeare, is buried and to learn more about his work an his teachings. Ive been incredibly lucky that a direct descendant of the great man himself has agreed to meet up for a chat. Listen to the reed, how it tells it tale, complaining of separations. Saying, ever since i was parted from the reedbed my lament has caused man and woman to moan. Translation i am the 22nd Generation Descendant from mevlana and when i was born my siblings and i were taught that we had been passed a very special gift to protect. Others can learn and experience his teachings, but its our duty to safeguard the legacy. So why do you think the teachings that mevlana had written about have grown in popularity, 750 yea rs later . The whole world is curious about the teachings of mevlana because he taught us how important it is to know and love ourselves because that allows us to love others. This really resonates with whats happening in the world today. As a sufi, rumi was a member of a group of Devout Muslims who focus on nurturing their own and others spiritual dimension, whatever their religion. A whole Tourist Industry has sprung up around rumi in konya and every year hundreds of thousands of people also come here to study sufism. Perhaps best known of all sufi traditions are the world Famous Dancers or dervishes who whirl in a trance like state to release Untapped Energy and make a devine connection. Now, this is a very special place indeed. This is where they make the sikke, which is a traditional hat worn by the sufi. Theyve used the same technique for hundreds of years and its all handmade. Translation in the teachings of Mevlana Everything has a meaning. People, objects, animals and plants. Kissing this band on the hat symbolises the value of these things. So you put the sikke on your head, like this, and the ribbon comes down to your heart. The green band symbolises knowledge and you can think of this like a channel, which means all knowledge should lead to the heart and to love. If knowledge doesnt reach the heart, then its worthless. Although Whirling Dervishes perform for tourists in many parts of the islamic world, here at the mevlana rumi centre, im told that ill see something far more authentic and purely devotional. Now, i hear that they put on this performance every saturday night, im really looking forward to watching this. Chanting each devotional session or sama is led by a sheikh, who commands the ritual. Singing each devotional session or sama is led by a sheikh, who commands the ritual. Each of the dancers whirl with their right arm directed upwards towards god, whilst their left arm points to the earth. Through this unique act of motion and meditation, sufi believe they can reach the source of all perfection, known as kemal. Its so hypnotising, kind of, watching them perform. I can only imagine how they actually feel doing it and listening and hearing the scriptures, its almost as if they get into a bit of a trance, but ill definitely say thats pretty amazing. Everyone who is left far from his source wishes back the time when he was united with it. Well, im afraid thats all the time we have for this week, but coming up next week. I head to brunei to explore the Worlds Largest floating town. Auto and, alli gets a chance to play his very first set and he asks why so many london clubs have closed down in recent years. Im catch that if you can. But from me, henry golding, and the rest of The Travel Show team here in turkey, its goodbye. Snr at least some of us had some sunshine today. Scotland, the far north of england, the rest of us cloud and rain and this week is looking pretty unsettled. More cloud and rain on the way and potentially also very windy, especially towards the end of the week. In the short term, the heavier rain fizzles out across the south. There will be some drizzle left over and thick cloud. Scotland, a different story here. Clearer skies. Sharp frost in the glens it could dip down to minus. Towns and cities, closer to freezing. In the south another pulse of rain heading our way on monday. South Western P
