The Scottish Government's "named person" legislation has been

:00:00.:00:31.

The Government's onto the scheme was designed to safeguard the rights

:00:32.:00:40.

A named person will not be assigned to a child but will be available

:00:41.:00:44.

to assist them and their parents in ensuring the young

:00:45.:00:47.

A group of charities challenged the legislation in the courts,

:00:48.:00:51.

arguing it contravened their human rights to privacy and family life.

:00:52.:00:54.

Lord Hodge will explain the decision.

:00:55.:00:56.

Five judges at the UK Supreme Court, including two from Scotland,

:00:57.:00:58.

This report unanimously allows the appeal on the second

:00:59.:01:08.

of the three grounds and that is because of

:01:09.:01:10.

Outside the court, the charities hailed a victory.

:01:11.:01:21.

It was unwanted, unworkable and undemocratic.

:01:22.:01:25.

Today, the judges have put a stop to that.

:01:26.:01:39.

They say the key data-sharing provisions at the heart

:01:40.:01:42.

of the scheme are defective and cannot go ahead.

:01:43.:01:44.

The Macintosh family from Falkirk were all in court,

:01:45.:01:46.

pleased the judge agreed with that argument.

:01:47.:01:48.

People should have the right to privacy and family life,

:01:49.:01:51.

to bring their children up as they see best,

:01:52.:01:58.

not how the state decides to do this and not disagree

:01:59.:02:00.

with the philosophical and religious views.

:02:01.:02:04.

The murder of a child in Inverness 13 years ago prompted changes

:02:05.:02:08.

in child protection which led to the named person scheme.

:02:09.:02:17.

Killed by her mother's boyfriend, her disappearace was not picked

:02:18.:02:20.

There was no named person of contact.

:02:21.:02:22.

The Highland Council regards it as a vital child-protection measure.

:02:23.:02:25.

We have a named person measure because children and families said

:02:26.:02:28.

they wanted a single point of contact.

:02:29.:02:29.

We have seen it works and improves services.

:02:30.:02:31.

I am really pleased we have a positive endorsement

:02:32.:02:36.

of that today and I hope we can move forward together to implement

:02:37.:02:39.

for the benefit of children, young people and families.

:02:40.:02:42.

Ministers must now adjust the scheme to ensure it complies

:02:43.:02:45.

They are adamant it is staying on the statute book.

:02:46.:02:50.

This court case was an attempt to bring about the scrapping

:02:51.:02:59.

The court has told us to improve the data sharing legislation.

:03:00.:03:12.

That is exactly what the Scottish Government will do and we will

:03:13.:03:15.

proceed as quickly as we can do to implement the named person

:03:16.:03:18.

policy, taking into account the points raised

:03:19.:03:19.

The Government insists this scheme is not in pieces.

:03:20.:03:23.

It was due to come into force at the end of next month, now

:03:24.:03:28.

ministers will present proposed changes when ministers return

:03:29.:03:32.

Syrian refugees, resettled on the Isle of Bute,

:03:33.:03:35.

have given their first television interviews to say thank

:03:36.:03:38.

you for the warm welcome they have received.

:03:39.:03:40.

Earlier this week two other Syrian families were reported

:03:41.:03:42.

Aileen Clarke has been to meet refugees who say

:03:43.:03:46.

they're keen to become part of the community on Bute.

:03:47.:04:00.

Rothesay, on the island Bute, is trying hard

:04:01.:04:04.

to recapture its reputation for a stop for tourists.

:04:05.:04:06.

It has become a place of refuge for 15 Syrian families

:04:07.:04:08.

This Syrian barber is brushing up on his skills on a work placement

:04:09.:04:18.

he hopes will be his first step in getting him back

:04:19.:04:21.

He is working in this salon on a voluntary basis,

:04:22.:04:30.

to add to his hairdressing skills and his English.

:04:31.:04:40.

His children are setting a good example.

:04:41.:04:42.

My children are learning English quickly.

:04:43.:04:44.

Are they quicker than you?

:04:45.:04:45.

Because, in school, they speak with friends.

:04:46.:04:51.

Fellow hairdressers are noticing that already his chat

:04:52.:04:57.

His English is improving week by week.

:04:58.:05:05.

Each day he is learning more words and is experiencing jokes,

:05:06.:05:08.

Along with others in the local Syrian community, they have

:05:09.:05:18.

been willing volunteers at the music festival.

Some are worried there is no halal meat ready on the island.

:05:47.:05:57.

But the support they have received seems to be helping in the

:05:58.:06:00.

adjustment to island life. These people, they have been

:06:01.:06:02.

so open-hearted with us. We have to return this great

:06:03.:06:09.

treatment. There is no mosque on the Isle

:06:16.:06:19.

which is helping these families They are aware it is a hard road

for tonight and tomorrow For most of us overnight it will be

:11:25.:11:26.

largely dry. Tonight we will continue to see

:11:27.:11:48.

showers over northern Scotland, with clearing skies. A beautiful start

:11:49.:11:52.

tomorrow for southern Scotland, not too cold, one or two showers for the

:11:53.:12:02.

Northwest and the north-east Highlands. The showers will continue

:12:03.:12:09.

coming in on the north-westerly wind. It will feel cool. Through the

:12:10.:12:18.

day the showers continue to feed into the north, some pushing into

:12:19.:12:23.

Aberdeenshire. The emphasis for southern and eastern Scotland will

:12:24.:12:27.

be dominantly dry. Northern Ireland seeing some good sunny spells and

:12:28.:12:33.

the whole of northern England see some pretty good spells of sunshine.

:12:34.:12:38.

A weather front across Wales and the Midlands will continue to bring

:12:39.:12:42.

outbreaks of showery rain. Ahead of that front it is still showery and

:12:43.:12:49.

fairly humid. Temperatures feeling fresher in the sunshine for the

:12:50.:12:58.

North. But in the sunshine in Scotland it will feel pleasantly

:12:59.:13:04.

warm. Further showers for the North tomorrow evening but a lot of dry

:13:05.:13:08.

weather through central and southern Scotland as we head through Friday

evening. The reason for the showers as you will probably have guessed,

low pressure to the north of us. Fewer showers in the South as we

head to the weekend. The weekend looks pretty similar, plenty of

showers, feeling that bit fresher.
