now on BBC One, time for the news where you are.

The Scottish Government says it'll consider the arguments

:00:08.:00:10.

for a significant change to its controversial

:00:11.:00:12.

The plan is to have a one for everyone aged under 18.

:00:13.:00:19.

Labour says the age limit should be16.

:00:20.:00:20.

Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor.

:00:21.:00:27.

Last month, the supreme court expressed concern over how

:00:28.:00:33.

information about children might be shared. The Scottish Government is

:00:34.:00:38.

now looking how to address the court's concern. Labour wants

:00:39.:00:42.

ministers to use this as a chance to change a crucial element of the

:00:43.:00:46.

scheme itself. Scottish Labour supports the principle of the Named

:00:47.:00:50.

Person Scheme but we have always believed extended that policy to 16

:00:51.:00:54.

to 18-year-olds ran the risk of making it look foolish. This is a

:00:55.:00:59.

real opportunity for John Sweeney to show he is listening, go further

:01:00.:01:07.

than the supreme court requires and fix this floor. The aim of the

:01:08.:01:10.

scheme is to have one person looking after the welfare, usually it would

:01:11.:01:16.

be a teacher or a health visitor. The Scottish Government says there

:01:17.:01:19.

is a good reason why a team was chosen as the cut-off. Parliament

:01:20.:01:25.

was looking very clearly at international opinion and very

:01:26.:01:30.

valued and respected international opinion and on that basis came to

:01:31.:01:35.

the conclusion is that it did. Of course, I will give consideration to

:01:36.:01:39.

the issues that have been raised to date and reflect on those as the

:01:40.:01:43.

government decides how to take forward the Named Person Scheme.

:01:44.:01:47.

This policy is all about protecting children. Some like Labour aren't

:01:48.:01:50.

opposed in principle but other critics say the idea is an intrusion

:01:51.:01:52.

into family life. A man has died, and three

:01:53.:01:54.

others have been injured after a disturbance outside

:01:55.:01:57.

a football ground in Police were called to an incident

:01:58.:01:59.

at the Shettleston Juniors football ground, in Shettleston

:02:00.:02:03.

Road after midnight. A 21st birthday party function had

:02:04.:02:04.

been held at the club earlier. His death is being

:02:05.:02:07.

treated as suspicious. To the Olympics in Rio now,

:02:08.:02:12.

and Team GB are still looking Scottish swimmer Hannah Miley came

:02:13.:02:14.

agonisingly close last night and today adverse weather conditions

:02:15.:02:20.

meant a delay to another Scot starting the defence

:02:21.:02:22.

of her Olympic title. Day two of the Rio Olympics and

:02:23.:02:35.

there has been frustration for one of our real medal hopes. Heather was

:02:36.:02:42.

due to start the defence of her Olympic women's pairs title but

:02:43.:02:44.

winds at the rowing has met all those days today have been

:02:45.:02:48.

cancelled. Plenty of other Scottish are in action here on day two,

:02:49.:02:52.

though. David Florence in the canoeing is in the singles class and

:02:53.:02:57.

it is going to be a busy day for Andy Murray. First of all he will

:02:58.:03:01.

start his defence of his singles Olympics title and then with brother

:03:02.:03:07.

Jamie, they are in doubles action against two Brazilian players. Last

:03:08.:03:12.

night there was real disappointment for two Scottish people in the pool.

:03:13.:03:16.

Hannah Miley claimed close to winning a bronze medal in the 400

:03:17.:03:22.

metres. It is hard to see that bronze medal so close and fora do

:03:23.:03:26.

not happen but I gave that everything. I had nothing left in

:03:27.:03:31.

that last 50. I am proud that I had gone quicker than in the heats. Some

:03:32.:03:37.

positives to take for Miley but not for Ross Murdoch. He failed to make

:03:38.:03:43.

the final. I am not sad but am just angry. I don't know what has gone

:03:44.:03:48.

wrong. Hopefully I will get another shot at 100 meter breaststroke late

:03:49.:03:53.

in the week. But for me that is the end of my individual Olympic

:03:54.:03:58.

campaign. Other Scots have a chance for success today. Could Richard

:03:59.:04:02.

Cruise make it through to the final of the fencing? We will bring you

:04:03.:04:04.

details in our late bulletin. High winds have caused problems

:04:05.:04:06.

across the country overnight Gusts reached almost seventy miles

:04:07.:04:08.

per hour in the Highlands. In Johnshaven harbour

:04:09.:04:12.

in Aberdeenshire, an historic fishing vessel was swept

:04:13.:04:13.

on to its side. One crew member was

:04:14.:04:15.

taken to hospital. Elsewhere, five men were rescued

:04:16.:04:17.

from a sinking boat off Fallen trees blocked railway lines

:04:18.:04:19.

between Dundee and Aberdeen,and A number of ferry services

:04:20.:04:23.

were also cancelled. Homes in Broughty Ferry and Dundee

:04:24.:04:25.

were affected by a power cut. The unseasonable winds also

:04:26.:04:28.

disrupted the Merchant City Festival in Glasgow, and a food

:04:29.:04:30.

festival in Edinburgh. We have just heard that the Spencer

:04:31.:04:43.

Richard went on to make the semifinal later tonight.

:04:44.:04:47.

Now let's take a look at the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow.

:04:48.:04:53.

High winds affecting much of the country. Unseasonably high winds. 60

:04:54.:05:04.

to 80 mph gusts. Elsewhere, widely into the 50 mph. Widespread gale.

:05:05.:05:10.

There is a yellow warning in force until late the night and that

:05:11.:05:13.

warning transfers to the Northern Isles. This evening, a band of

:05:14.:05:18.

blustery rain pushing across us then the next band of rain and strong

:05:19.:05:23.

gale force winds. Severe gale force winds towards the West. Temperatures

:05:24.:05:32.

around ten to 12 Celsius. It will be a windy start to the day once again

:05:33.:05:38.

tomorrow. You can see the isobars start to open up so it does settle

:05:39.:05:44.

down. They largely dry look to the day tomorrow. Bright, one or two

:05:45.:05:48.

passing showers. That rain across the Northern Isles does eventually

:05:49.:05:52.

pull away. The winds ease and highs of 17 Celsius.

:05:53.:05:54.

And that's all from Reporting Scotland for now.

:05:55.:05:55.

We'll be back with an update just after the Ten o'clock news,

:05:56.:05:58.

including the latest on events in Rio.

:05:59.:06:00.

Until then, from everyone on the team here in Glasgow,

:06:01.:06:09.

It's been a funny old day, a day of extremes, with gales on exposed

:06:10.:06:16.

coasts in Scotland. Many stations reported their strongest August gust

:06:17.:06:17.

of wind on
