Organisers of the Commonwealth Games have revealed that 96% of all

They've also reported high satisfaction levels

The Glasgow Commonwealth Games has been an event to remember. He will

take the gold for Scotland! As well as the record-breaking record haul

-- medal haul, many spectators left with smiles on their faces.

Organisers revealed 96% of all tickets for the event were sold. And

they said that based on 20,000 spectator responses, more than 90%

of those who went expressed their satisfaction with the Games. All of

this has been warmly welcomed by the game 's chairman. We said from the

start, that Glasgow 2014 would put on an amazing games, and we have,

and it is important that team Scotland has had its best ever

performance. And games organisers also argued they could be other spin

offs, saying many spectators told them they would recommend Scotland

for hosting more big events. The Games may now be over, but many

reminders to the event still remain as Scotland looks forward to the

lasting legacy which will be delivered by the event.

The Scottish government has said measures to protect

the environment would be put at the heart of a written constitution

That's been welcomed by environmental campaigners.

But Scottish Labour has claimed that the government could do more now.

It is the highest form of legal protection you can have in any

country, a written constitution to protect individuals or the

environment. In principle, this country values the environment and

put it high in its priorities. It is five years since we had the whole

parliament agreed on improving the environment. We have not seen enough

progress from the Scottish Parliament. We need a focus of

efforts in the parliament, and we need political will to make the

change rather than more constitutional gestures.

Time now for the weather for tonight and tomorrow,

Good evening. A decent day for many of us, except over the Northern

Isles where there is a fair amount of rain. More to come overnight for

Shetland with strong winds as well. A yellow warning in place. For most

of us, a dry night. The odd shower dotted about. Temperatures dipping

to 17 Celsius. For many of us, 11 Celsius. Keep your eye on this area

of low pressure coming in. This is ex-hurricane Bertha, and it is

tracking its way northwards. We are likely to see some fairly heavy rain

at some point in the day, especially towards the latter part of the

afternoon and evening. We have a yellow warning in place for that

rain, but a dry night -- note for tomorrow. Weekly turning cloudy with

outbreaks of rain edging northwards through the day. Rain becoming

widespread towards tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures reaching 17

or 18 Celsius tomorrow with strong winds.

Our next update is at 6.50 tomorrow evening.

Until then, from everyone on the weekend team,

Good evening. Conditions in the next 24 hours may not match those of the

big storms of autumn and winter but they will make for an unpleasant

summer staples of already some unpleasant conditions here, wet and

very windy, but it is this low tide on to what once
