The Scottish Government says it'll consider the arguments

:00:00.:00:11.

for a significant change to its controversial

:00:12.:00:12.

The plan is to have a named individual for everyone

:00:13.:00:16.

Labour says the age limit should be 16.

:00:17.:00:20.

Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor.

:00:21.:00:24.

Last month, the Supreme Court expressed concern over how

:00:25.:00:27.

information about children might be shared.

:00:28.:00:31.

The Scottish Government is now looking at how to address

:00:32.:00:34.

Labour wants ministers to use this as a chance to change a crucial

:00:35.:00:38.

Scottish Labour supports the principle of the Named Person

:00:39.:00:43.

Scheme but we have always believed extending that policy to 16

:00:44.:00:48.

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

:00:49.:00:51.

This is a real opportunity for John Swinney to show

:00:52.:00:55.

he is listening, go further than the Supreme Court

:00:56.:00:57.

The aim of the scheme is to have one person looking after the welfare

:00:58.:01:05.

Usually this would be a teacher or a health care visitor.

:01:06.:01:11.

The Scottish Government says there is a good reason why

:01:12.:01:13.

18-years-old was chosen as the cut-off.

:01:14.:01:16.

The Scottish Parliament was looking very clearly at international

:01:17.:01:21.

opinion and very valued and respected international opinion

:01:22.:01:24.

and on that basis came to the conclusions that it did.

:01:25.:01:30.

Of course, I will give consideration to the issues that have been raised

:01:31.:01:33.

to date and reflect on those as the government decides how

:01:34.:01:36.

to take forward the Named Person Scheme.

:01:37.:01:39.

For its supporters, his policy is all about protecting children.

:01:40.:01:41.

Some like Scottish Labour aren't opposed in principle but other

:01:42.:01:44.

critics say the idea is an intrusion into family life.

:01:45.:01:52.

On day two of the Rio Olympics there's been another disappointment

:01:53.:01:55.

Let's cross to the Olympic park in Rio and Jane Lewis.

:01:56.:02:07.

Good evening. It's been another night of oh so close for a Scottish

:02:08.:02:14.

competitor here at the Rio Olympics. Richard Kruse made it through to the

:02:15.:02:19.

bronze medal match of the individual fencing event but he narrowly lost

:02:20.:02:25.

out, losing to the Russian fencer. He did well to battle back but he

:02:26.:02:31.

lost 13-15. Let's hear from Richard Kruse now. The team was a better

:02:32.:02:36.

chance for the medal coming into this so all eyes on that. What would

:02:37.:02:41.

that mean for you and the sport? It has been a long time, 60 years for a

:02:42.:02:51.

medal. It would be massive for our sport in Britain so wish us well. No

:02:52.:02:55.

joy for him in the singles. Andy Murray is safely through to the next

:02:56.:03:02.

round of the tennis. He will be playing doubles with his brother

:03:03.:03:07.

Jamie shortly. Also good news, David Florence is through to the

:03:08.:03:12.

semifinals of the canoeing, he is an action on Tuesday. Bad news for

:03:13.:03:15.

Richard Kruse but as I say he does have that other chance in the team

:03:16.:03:18.

event. A man has died and three

:03:19.:03:20.

others have been injured after a disturbance outside

:03:21.:03:22.

a football ground in Police were called to an incident

:03:23.:03:24.

at the Shettleston Juniors football A 21st birthday party had been held

:03:25.:03:28.

at the club earlier. His death is being treated

:03:29.:03:31.

as suspicious. The high winds last night

:03:32.:03:35.

and through the day caused travel disruption, and resulted

:03:36.:03:38.

in the cancellation of many Let's hear if there's sign of any

:03:39.:03:39.

improvement for the start Indeed, high winds affecting many

:03:40.:03:58.

parts, gusts of between 50 and 60 mph quite widely. Winds continue

:03:59.:04:06.

tonight but the rain will die away. Here's our deep area of low

:04:07.:04:09.

pressure, it is going to pull away as we head through the day tomorrow.

:04:10.:04:13.

You can see the isobars start to widen, meaning it is going to calm

:04:14.:04:19.

down as we head through the day. It will be a blustery, gusty start to

:04:20.:04:24.

the day for many. Met Office yellow warning for Shetland and Orkney. We

:04:25.:04:30.

are looking at severe gale force winds here, 50 or 60 mph. Actually,

:04:31.:04:36.

it is a lovely start to the day for most and we will hold onto the dry

:04:37.:04:43.

conditions. The winds gradually easing, the rain eventually clearing

:04:44.:04:47.

from Shetland. Temperatures tomorrow feeling fresher, 15 or 16 Celsius.

:04:48.:04:51.

Warmer in the south. Thank you, Judith.

:04:52.:04:52.

Our next update's at 6.25am tomorrow morning during Breakfast Time.

:04:53.:04:55.

Until then, from everyone on the weekend team, enjoy the rest
