Tonight, we reveal the contents of the Government green paper which | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
confirms Theresa May wants to make further selection in English | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
education a key feature of her Government. Join me on BBC | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Dungavel Immigration Detention Centre in south Lanarkshire | :00:18. | :00:37. | |
is to close, and will be replaced by a short-term holding facility, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Dungavel's been criticised over the years by campaigners who've | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
raised concerns about the treatment of people detained there | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
and the length of time they were held. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
The Home Office says it's being closed because it's underused, | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Dungavel, the former prison became a detention centre for a failed asylum | :00:56. | :01:12. | |
seekers in 2001. But it was this view from the inside, which first | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
seekers in 2001. But it was this brought it to the public's | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
attention. Being held there wasn't child's play. This family were | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
detained for more than a year, unable to attend school. They were | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
the first of many children sent to Dungavel with their parents. This | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
woman was just 14 when she was first taken there with her family in 2007. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Not being able to do anything, that was the most difficult thing for me. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
I was the oldest one, and because I knew English, I had to do a lot of | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
translation with the lawyer and Home Office officials within Dungavel. It | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
is very tough on me, I felt really hopeless when I was translating, | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
because I know that, unless the Government did something, MS was a | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
campaign, we were just go in to be stuck there. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Over the years, Dungavel has been the scene of many protest. At first | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
against the detention of children, which only ended in 2010. There was | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
more controversy recently, when the BBC revealed some detailing knees | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
were being held for more than a year. Torture victims have also been | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
kept at the facility, in contravention of the Home Office's | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
own guidelines. This long-term campaigner this is the centre to | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
take supplies to those being held there. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Speak on the behalf of fellow campaigners, they will welcome the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
closure, but still worried about the detention aspect which may take part | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
in the UK immigration and asylum system. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
But the detention centre did have a purpose, to stop failed asylum | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
seekers from disappearing before they could be removed. Its closure | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
would stop the detention, instead it'll be moved closer to Glasgow | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
airport. In a statement, the Home Office said... | :02:58. | :03:16. | |
The new short-term holding facility will have 51 bed. It will be built | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
on this site, minutes from Glasgow Airport. The Scottish Government has | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
welcomed the decision to close this facility. Campaigners are ready | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
asking questions about what happens now to asylum seekers. They're | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
worried the fast track process could lead them locked up hundreds of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
miles away from the family, friends and support next works. -- support | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
networks. The Education Secretary says | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
an amended Named Person scheme should be in place | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
by August next year - The controversial system will see | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
a single point of contact for all children | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
under the age of 18. But it was put on hold, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
after the Supreme Court ruled its plans for sharing | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
information were unlawful. For the avoidance of any doubt, | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
the Government remains absolutely committed | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
to the Named Person service. As he updated MSPs, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
the Education Secretary was clear. The Named Person scheme | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
is going ahead, but first For that reason, the Scottish | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Government will undertake a three-month period of intense | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
engagement in Scotland. We will take input from | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
practitioners as well as parents, charities and young people, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
those who support the policy and Every child under the age of 18 | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
was supposed to have a named person by now, a health visitor | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
or teacher, assigned to look But the scheme was put on hold | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
after the Supreme Court ruled part of the controversial legislation | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
that dealt with information sharing Three judges ruled that the Named | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Person scheme was unquestionably But they said that it was perfectly | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
possible that information could be shared with authorities | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
without the child being aware. The Conservatives want to see this | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
scheme scrapped, and this is why. The court stated that even | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
after the information sharing provisions are sorted out, | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
the Named Person scheme is still in danger of constituting | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
a disproportionate and therefore unlawful interference | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
with family life. Labour supported the principle, | :05:30. | :05:30. | |
but again called for 16 It seems absurd given that | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
a 16-year-old can vote, marry, To remove them would give a strong | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
signal that while the Government is not surrendering the Named Person | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
policy, it is listening, That was a concession | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Mr Swinney said the Government The campaign group that brought | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
about the legal challenge described today's announcement as laughable, | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
saying the Government should be But they say they welcome the chance | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
of dialogue with the More than 900 children, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
some as young as ten, contacted Childline in Scotland last | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
year, saying they were suicidal. That's almost double | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
the number five years ago. Our home affairs correspondent, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Reevel Alderson, reports. Hi, you're through to someone you | :06:26. | :06:38. | |
can talk to at Childline. It's good to talk. Childline's call | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
centres are handling almost double the number of calls from young | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
people with suicidal thoughts than five years ago. Including some | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
children as young as ten. The charity sees this as positive, that | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
you can have confidence in talking, even though the start off with more | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
trivial matters. The main talk about bullying or exam | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
rashers. Once again confidence and feel relaxed about councillor, they | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
may go on to tell us the real reason they're calling is live the feel | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
there is no hope and suicide is the only answer. Talking is a fabulous | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
first step to getting children and young people the right help. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
This age old was a mischievous boy who always looked after his sister, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
two years younger than him. It's just 12, he took his life, leaving | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
his family devastated. -- aged just well. Now his sister is a Childline | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
councillor, wanting to help other families suffering the same anguish. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
I've seen the devastation it leaves behind. Not just to the family, | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
friends, everyone. If we can stop that happening even one child, | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
through Childline, then it's been worth it. | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
The figures were raised in Holyrood, with Labour claiming increasing | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
numbers of young Scots are now waiting for mental health treatment. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
The First Minister admitted demand had increased. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
I take the view that that is a positive development that as it | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
doesn't sound like it - but it means the stigma associated with mental | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
health is decreasing, and more people, in particular more young | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
people, a feeling it easier to come forward. | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
I thank the First Minister for that answer. In the summer, Labour | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
revealed over 60 young Scots had waited for the treatment they | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
desperately needed. These figures see that rising to 608. That is | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
nothing short of a national scandal. Childline is now calling for better | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
access to services for young people who feel they have nowhere else to | :08:47. | :08:47. | |
turn. A report on the care of a woman | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
with postnatal depression who killed her baby has | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
concluded that chances Erin Sutherland admitted | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
the culpable homicide of her baby daughter Chloe, on the grounds | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
of diminished responsibility. The Mental Welfare Commission has | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
made a series of recommendations, to improve postnatal | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
mental health care. Seven years ago, the Gaiety Theatre | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
in Ayr faced a gloomy future. The historic theatre closed | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
after health and safety concerns. But thanks to the support | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
of the local community, the Gaiety's back in business, | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
and it's due to reopen this weekend Our arts correspondent | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Pauline McLean reports. From Sir Harry Lauder, to the stars | :09:28. | :09:47. | |
of many summer seasons, the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr has seen them all. | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
But offstage this Theatre has equally to romantic times. Not one, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
the two devastating fires, and have an safety problems which closed | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
altogether. We've done a lot of work to the | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
auditorium. But this Theatre is a survivor. And after a makeover, is | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
now looking her best. Being closed for the six months, | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
people were asking, when is it going to reopen, can I do anything, can I | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
volunteer? There's real committee spirit behind | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
the theatre. And as the Gaiety prepares to reopen | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
this weekends, those that championed it for years are prepared to send | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
their best wishes. Apparently I played the Getty more | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
than anyone else in its history! I should get a medal. The people that | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
had to watch me and listen to make, they should get medals! | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
The first to try out the new stage, Ayr Players, one of the many amateur | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
companies in the area. Lindsay Robbie Coltrane has played | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
here, going back to Scottish musical greats, the Alexander Brothers and | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
people like that. So it is a fantastic privilege to feel that | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
you're part of that community and part of that history. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
And this weekends, they and the hundreds of people who have | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
supported this Theatre through good times and bad can take a bow. As the | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
Gaiety reopens for a second century of Scottish entertainment. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Tennis, and Andy Murray is out of the US Open - | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
but his brother Jamie is currently battling for a place | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Jamie and his partner Bruno Soares are up against the top seeds, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
French pair Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut. | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
Murray and Soares took the first set 7-5, but lost the second 6-4. Murray | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
and Soares array break up in the third set. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Good evening to you. A breezy night with showery rain. Pressure compared | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
to recent nights combine. Tomorrow morning, early brightness around, | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
the best part of the day tomorrow with sunshine and eastern areas. | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Cloud further west with showers to start the day. These are the | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
temperatures at 8am, a reasonable commute to work, but much wetter for | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
the journey home. Some of the showers heading for the north west | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
coast, but over to the Moray Firth, more sunshine for you. A reasonably | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
dry day in Orkney and Shetland. Through Friday, things go downhill. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Clouds thickening, showers increasing. As you concede, heavy | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
rain to come later and high winds. Across the UK as a whole, the wet | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
weather pushing into Northern Ireland, affecting Wales as well. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
Most of England dry and bright at this moment. Temperatures into the | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
mid-20s. Elsewhere, more like the high teens, but it is the rain that | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
is of note. Loretta colours indicating how heavy the rain is | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
likely to be. When is strong, they'll force winds around the West | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Coast. Disruption on ferries and bridges. But the rain is clearing | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
through at a pace, good news for the weekends, because come Saturday it's | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
away from us, becoming stuck across the southeast and the wash, for the | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
rest of the country, plenty of sunshine come Saturday. The winds | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
are light. Sunday, some bright spells around, a few showers across | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
the north and north west. Temperatures in the high teens. One | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
fly in the ointment, the next weather system coming our way will | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
bring a spell of heavy rain and high winds will stop the timing on its | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
arrival is open to doubt, it could come in during the day on Sunday. | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Stage and on that one. That's the forecast. | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
Thank you, Christopher. An update on the tennis, Jamie Murray and his | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
partner are through to the | :14:09. | :14:09. |
