:00:00. > :00:11.Tonight, we reveal the contents of the Government green paper which

:00:12. > :00:14.confirms Theresa May wants to make further selection in English

:00:15. > :00:17.education a key feature of her Government. Join me on BBC

:00:18. > :00:37.Dungavel Immigration Detention Centre in south Lanarkshire

:00:38. > :00:40.is to close, and will be replaced by a short-term holding facility,

:00:41. > :00:47.Dungavel's been criticised over the years by campaigners who've

:00:48. > :00:49.raised concerns about the treatment of people detained there

:00:50. > :00:52.and the length of time they were held.

:00:53. > :00:55.The Home Office says it's being closed because it's underused,

:00:56. > :01:12.Dungavel, the former prison became a detention centre for a failed asylum

:01:13. > :01:15.seekers in 2001. But it was this view from the inside, which first

:01:16. > :01:17.seekers in 2001. But it was this brought it to the public's

:01:18. > :01:23.attention. Being held there wasn't child's play. This family were

:01:24. > :01:26.detained for more than a year, unable to attend school. They were

:01:27. > :01:32.the first of many children sent to Dungavel with their parents. This

:01:33. > :01:37.woman was just 14 when she was first taken there with her family in 2007.

:01:38. > :01:42.Not being able to do anything, that was the most difficult thing for me.

:01:43. > :01:46.I was the oldest one, and because I knew English, I had to do a lot of

:01:47. > :01:51.translation with the lawyer and Home Office officials within Dungavel. It

:01:52. > :01:56.is very tough on me, I felt really hopeless when I was translating,

:01:57. > :01:59.because I know that, unless the Government did something, MS was a

:02:00. > :02:03.campaign, we were just go in to be stuck there.

:02:04. > :02:07.Over the years, Dungavel has been the scene of many protest. At first

:02:08. > :02:14.against the detention of children, which only ended in 2010. There was

:02:15. > :02:17.more controversy recently, when the BBC revealed some detailing knees

:02:18. > :02:22.were being held for more than a year. Torture victims have also been

:02:23. > :02:27.kept at the facility, in contravention of the Home Office's

:02:28. > :02:30.own guidelines. This long-term campaigner this is the centre to

:02:31. > :02:33.take supplies to those being held there.

:02:34. > :02:37.Speak on the behalf of fellow campaigners, they will welcome the

:02:38. > :02:42.closure, but still worried about the detention aspect which may take part

:02:43. > :02:44.in the UK immigration and asylum system.

:02:45. > :02:47.But the detention centre did have a purpose, to stop failed asylum

:02:48. > :02:52.seekers from disappearing before they could be removed. Its closure

:02:53. > :02:57.would stop the detention, instead it'll be moved closer to Glasgow

:02:58. > :03:16.airport. In a statement, the Home Office said...

:03:17. > :03:23.The new short-term holding facility will have 51 bed. It will be built

:03:24. > :03:28.on this site, minutes from Glasgow Airport. The Scottish Government has

:03:29. > :03:32.welcomed the decision to close this facility. Campaigners are ready

:03:33. > :03:35.asking questions about what happens now to asylum seekers. They're

:03:36. > :03:39.worried the fast track process could lead them locked up hundreds of

:03:40. > :03:42.miles away from the family, friends and support next works. -- support

:03:43. > :03:43.networks. The Education Secretary says

:03:44. > :03:46.an amended Named Person scheme should be in place

:03:47. > :03:48.by August next year - The controversial system will see

:03:49. > :03:52.a single point of contact for all children

:03:53. > :03:56.under the age of 18. But it was put on hold,

:03:57. > :04:01.after the Supreme Court ruled its plans for sharing

:04:02. > :04:03.information were unlawful. For the avoidance of any doubt,

:04:04. > :04:06.the Government remains absolutely committed

:04:07. > :04:09.to the Named Person service. As he updated MSPs,

:04:10. > :04:13.the Education Secretary was clear. The Named Person scheme

:04:14. > :04:17.is going ahead, but first For that reason, the Scottish

:04:18. > :04:21.Government will undertake a three-month period of intense

:04:22. > :04:25.engagement in Scotland. We will take input from

:04:26. > :04:28.practitioners as well as parents, charities and young people,

:04:29. > :04:33.those who support the policy and Every child under the age of 18

:04:34. > :04:38.was supposed to have a named person by now, a health visitor

:04:39. > :04:41.or teacher, assigned to look But the scheme was put on hold

:04:42. > :04:50.after the Supreme Court ruled part of the controversial legislation

:04:51. > :04:52.that dealt with information sharing Three judges ruled that the Named

:04:53. > :04:59.Person scheme was unquestionably But they said that it was perfectly

:05:00. > :05:07.possible that information could be shared with authorities

:05:08. > :05:18.without the child being aware. The Conservatives want to see this

:05:19. > :05:22.scheme scrapped, and this is why. The court stated that even

:05:23. > :05:24.after the information sharing provisions are sorted out,

:05:25. > :05:26.the Named Person scheme is still in danger of constituting

:05:27. > :05:29.a disproportionate and therefore unlawful interference

:05:30. > :05:30.with family life. Labour supported the principle,

:05:31. > :05:32.but again called for 16 It seems absurd given that

:05:33. > :05:38.a 16-year-old can vote, marry, To remove them would give a strong

:05:39. > :05:46.signal that while the Government is not surrendering the Named Person

:05:47. > :05:50.policy, it is listening, That was a concession

:05:51. > :05:58.Mr Swinney said the Government The campaign group that brought

:05:59. > :06:02.about the legal challenge described today's announcement as laughable,

:06:03. > :06:05.saying the Government should be But they say they welcome the chance

:06:06. > :06:09.of dialogue with the More than 900 children,

:06:10. > :06:18.some as young as ten, contacted Childline in Scotland last

:06:19. > :06:22.year, saying they were suicidal. That's almost double

:06:23. > :06:25.the number five years ago. Our home affairs correspondent,

:06:26. > :06:38.Reevel Alderson, reports. Hi, you're through to someone you

:06:39. > :06:42.can talk to at Childline. It's good to talk. Childline's call

:06:43. > :06:46.centres are handling almost double the number of calls from young

:06:47. > :06:49.people with suicidal thoughts than five years ago. Including some

:06:50. > :06:54.children as young as ten. The charity sees this as positive, that

:06:55. > :06:57.you can have confidence in talking, even though the start off with more

:06:58. > :07:04.trivial matters. The main talk about bullying or exam

:07:05. > :07:08.rashers. Once again confidence and feel relaxed about councillor, they

:07:09. > :07:12.may go on to tell us the real reason they're calling is live the feel

:07:13. > :07:16.there is no hope and suicide is the only answer. Talking is a fabulous

:07:17. > :07:21.first step to getting children and young people the right help.

:07:22. > :07:26.This age old was a mischievous boy who always looked after his sister,

:07:27. > :07:31.two years younger than him. It's just 12, he took his life, leaving

:07:32. > :07:38.his family devastated. -- aged just well. Now his sister is a Childline

:07:39. > :07:42.councillor, wanting to help other families suffering the same anguish.

:07:43. > :07:49.I've seen the devastation it leaves behind. Not just to the family,

:07:50. > :07:54.friends, everyone. If we can stop that happening even one child,

:07:55. > :08:01.through Childline, then it's been worth it.

:08:02. > :08:04.The figures were raised in Holyrood, with Labour claiming increasing

:08:05. > :08:09.numbers of young Scots are now waiting for mental health treatment.

:08:10. > :08:12.The First Minister admitted demand had increased.

:08:13. > :08:16.I take the view that that is a positive development that as it

:08:17. > :08:20.doesn't sound like it - but it means the stigma associated with mental

:08:21. > :08:23.health is decreasing, and more people, in particular more young

:08:24. > :08:27.people, a feeling it easier to come forward.

:08:28. > :08:32.I thank the First Minister for that answer. In the summer, Labour

:08:33. > :08:36.revealed over 60 young Scots had waited for the treatment they

:08:37. > :08:43.desperately needed. These figures see that rising to 608. That is

:08:44. > :08:46.nothing short of a national scandal. Childline is now calling for better

:08:47. > :08:47.access to services for young people who feel they have nowhere else to

:08:48. > :08:50.turn. A report on the care of a woman

:08:51. > :08:52.with postnatal depression who killed her baby has

:08:53. > :08:54.concluded that chances Erin Sutherland admitted

:08:55. > :09:00.the culpable homicide of her baby daughter Chloe, on the grounds

:09:01. > :09:04.of diminished responsibility. The Mental Welfare Commission has

:09:05. > :09:09.made a series of recommendations, to improve postnatal

:09:10. > :09:17.mental health care. Seven years ago, the Gaiety Theatre

:09:18. > :09:20.in Ayr faced a gloomy future. The historic theatre closed

:09:21. > :09:22.after health and safety concerns. But thanks to the support

:09:23. > :09:24.of the local community, the Gaiety's back in business,

:09:25. > :09:27.and it's due to reopen this weekend Our arts correspondent

:09:28. > :09:47.Pauline McLean reports. From Sir Harry Lauder, to the stars

:09:48. > :09:53.of many summer seasons, the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr has seen them all.

:09:54. > :09:57.But offstage this Theatre has equally to romantic times. Not one,

:09:58. > :10:01.the two devastating fires, and have an safety problems which closed

:10:02. > :10:06.altogether. We've done a lot of work to the

:10:07. > :10:11.auditorium. But this Theatre is a survivor. And after a makeover, is

:10:12. > :10:16.now looking her best. Being closed for the six months,

:10:17. > :10:20.people were asking, when is it going to reopen, can I do anything, can I

:10:21. > :10:23.volunteer? There's real committee spirit behind

:10:24. > :10:26.the theatre. And as the Gaiety prepares to reopen

:10:27. > :10:31.this weekends, those that championed it for years are prepared to send

:10:32. > :10:35.their best wishes. Apparently I played the Getty more

:10:36. > :10:42.than anyone else in its history! I should get a medal. The people that

:10:43. > :10:49.had to watch me and listen to make, they should get medals!

:10:50. > :10:56.The first to try out the new stage, Ayr Players, one of the many amateur

:10:57. > :11:02.companies in the area. Lindsay Robbie Coltrane has played

:11:03. > :11:05.here, going back to Scottish musical greats, the Alexander Brothers and

:11:06. > :11:11.people like that. So it is a fantastic privilege to feel that

:11:12. > :11:15.you're part of that community and part of that history.

:11:16. > :11:17.And this weekends, they and the hundreds of people who have

:11:18. > :11:24.supported this Theatre through good times and bad can take a bow. As the

:11:25. > :11:28.Gaiety reopens for a second century of Scottish entertainment.

:11:29. > :11:31.Tennis, and Andy Murray is out of the US Open -

:11:32. > :11:33.but his brother Jamie is currently battling for a place

:11:34. > :11:37.Jamie and his partner Bruno Soares are up against the top seeds,

:11:38. > :11:44.French pair Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.

:11:45. > :11:52.Murray and Soares took the first set 7-5, but lost the second 6-4. Murray

:11:53. > :11:58.and Soares array break up in the third set.

:11:59. > :12:07.Good evening to you. A breezy night with showery rain. Pressure compared

:12:08. > :12:11.to recent nights combine. Tomorrow morning, early brightness around,

:12:12. > :12:15.the best part of the day tomorrow with sunshine and eastern areas.

:12:16. > :12:20.Cloud further west with showers to start the day. These are the

:12:21. > :12:24.temperatures at 8am, a reasonable commute to work, but much wetter for

:12:25. > :12:28.the journey home. Some of the showers heading for the north west

:12:29. > :12:34.coast, but over to the Moray Firth, more sunshine for you. A reasonably

:12:35. > :12:39.dry day in Orkney and Shetland. Through Friday, things go downhill.

:12:40. > :12:45.Clouds thickening, showers increasing. As you concede, heavy

:12:46. > :12:49.rain to come later and high winds. Across the UK as a whole, the wet

:12:50. > :12:52.weather pushing into Northern Ireland, affecting Wales as well.

:12:53. > :12:58.Most of England dry and bright at this moment. Temperatures into the

:12:59. > :13:04.mid-20s. Elsewhere, more like the high teens, but it is the rain that

:13:05. > :13:08.is of note. Loretta colours indicating how heavy the rain is

:13:09. > :13:12.likely to be. When is strong, they'll force winds around the West

:13:13. > :13:17.Coast. Disruption on ferries and bridges. But the rain is clearing

:13:18. > :13:21.through at a pace, good news for the weekends, because come Saturday it's

:13:22. > :13:29.away from us, becoming stuck across the southeast and the wash, for the

:13:30. > :13:35.rest of the country, plenty of sunshine come Saturday. The winds

:13:36. > :13:40.are light. Sunday, some bright spells around, a few showers across

:13:41. > :13:46.the north and north west. Temperatures in the high teens. One

:13:47. > :13:49.fly in the ointment, the next weather system coming our way will

:13:50. > :13:53.bring a spell of heavy rain and high winds will stop the timing on its

:13:54. > :13:57.arrival is open to doubt, it could come in during the day on Sunday.

:13:58. > :13:59.Stage and on that one. That's the forecast.

:14:00. > :14:08.Thank you, Christopher. An update on the tennis, Jamie Murray and his

:14:09. > :14:09.partner are through to the
