:00:00. > :00:00.There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel,

:00:00. > :00:09.A mother and son who died after getting into difficulty

:00:10. > :00:12.in the sea off Aberdeen have been named by police.

:00:13. > :00:15.Six-year-old Lucas Walker was paddling in the water

:00:16. > :00:22.His mother Julie Walker tried to save him.

:00:23. > :00:33.Combing the beach for clues to explain how such a tragedy could

:00:34. > :00:39.happen. Six-year-old Lucas Walker had been playing in the water when

:00:40. > :00:43.he got into difficulty. His mother Julie and brother Samuel try to help

:00:44. > :00:48.him while others witnessed the horrific events. The whole beach was

:00:49. > :00:57.covered in people, police were everywhere. There was something in

:00:58. > :01:02.the water. Obviously, people in the water. As flowers were laid, more

:01:03. > :01:07.details have emerged about the heroic actions that tried to save

:01:08. > :01:11.those in difficulty. On and off duty police officers were among those who

:01:12. > :01:17.entered the water to try to help. I would like to pay tribute to Lucas's

:01:18. > :01:23.brother Samuel who very bravely also entered the water in an attempt to

:01:24. > :01:26.rescue his mother and his brother. We are all very thankful Samuel is

:01:27. > :01:32.making steady progress in hospital. We are all very thankful Samuel is

:01:33. > :01:37.Like today, yesterday's weather had been reasonable although the water

:01:38. > :01:41.was rough. This Coast Guard told me it's important people understand the

:01:42. > :01:46.potential dangers of the sea. Is easy to be tricked into thinking

:01:47. > :01:51.that it is safer than it actually is. Warm weather especially, if we

:01:52. > :01:57.have had a period of wind that has brought the seas up, it lulls people

:01:58. > :02:02.into a false sense of security above the waves are just as powerful

:02:03. > :02:06.whether it is just a sunny or dark and grey. This is a tragedy

:02:07. > :02:10.witnessed by many in one of the most public parts of the city. The loss

:02:11. > :02:15.of a mother and child will affect those who knew them and those who

:02:16. > :02:19.saw them dive. The beach has reopened and people are back on the

:02:20. > :02:24.sands enjoying the last of the summer sunshine, but there is a

:02:25. > :02:25.subjugate around today and a renewed realisation of the power that those

:02:26. > :02:29.waves hold. The owners of an oil rig, which ran

:02:30. > :02:33.aground on the west coast of Lewis, have been given the go-ahead

:02:34. > :02:35.to refloat the vessel The 17,000 tonne Transocean Winner

:02:36. > :02:40.came ashore near Carloway The leader of the salvage team said

:02:41. > :02:46.weather conditions look favourable and much of the oil on board has now

:02:47. > :02:49.been removed, but he's Nicola Sturgeon has visited

:02:50. > :02:57.the Bosnian town of Srebenica to pay her respects to the thousands

:02:58. > :03:01.of men and boys who were killed in Europe's worst atrocity

:03:02. > :03:04.since the Second World War. The First Minister also

:03:05. > :03:06.visited the Christine Witcutt Day Care Centre,

:03:07. > :03:09.which was set up in memory of a Scottish aid worker shot dead

:03:10. > :03:13.as she tried to deliver supplies to civilians caught up

:03:14. > :03:19.in the Yugoslav civil war. A former Hearts striker has claimed

:03:20. > :03:23.a senior officer who was policing a heated derby match

:03:24. > :03:26.urged the winning team not to score again because he

:03:27. > :03:29.feared a pitch invasion. In a BBC Scotland documentary,

:03:30. > :03:33.John Robertson said the plea came at half time during a game

:03:34. > :03:38.against Hibs at Easter Road in 1990. Police had struggled to control

:03:39. > :03:42.the crowd as Hearts took a 3-0 And you can see more

:03:43. > :03:47.on that story in the first episode of Scotland's Game,

:03:48. > :03:50.which will go out on BBC One Scotland on Thursday

:03:51. > :03:54.night, at nine o'clock. At the Rio Olympics,

:03:55. > :03:57.the Scottish runner Callum Hawkins produced a strong performance

:03:58. > :04:00.in the marathon, finishing But there was disappointment

:04:01. > :04:04.for his team-mate, the former Eritrean Tsegai Tewelde,

:04:05. > :04:08.who was competing for Team GB after claiming political

:04:09. > :04:10.asylum in Glasgow. He was forced out at the halfway

:04:11. > :04:14.mark with a leg injury. Earlier, there was success on the

:04:15. > :04:18.track for Scotland's Eilidh Doyle. She took bronze in the 4x400

:04:19. > :04:21.metres relay team. And she's been speaking

:04:22. > :04:32.to our Olympics Reporter Jane Lewis. There was plenty of success on the

:04:33. > :04:38.track at the Olympic Stadium overnight for Team GB and a Scot was

:04:39. > :04:44.among it. Congratulations. Olympic bronze medallist. What are the

:04:45. > :04:50.emotions this morning? It was kind of relief last night because we knew

:04:51. > :04:55.we had a good chance of winning a medal, but sometimes it never

:04:56. > :05:00.happens so to have a medal, it is a relief and sheer joy. A fantastic

:05:01. > :05:05.games for Team GB and Scottish athletes have played their part. How

:05:06. > :05:16.special is that, you winning the medal? When we came to the zone

:05:17. > :05:25.afterwards and told we had won the 36 the medal, just the icing on the

:05:26. > :05:32.cake. Hold up your medal. Brilliant stuff. This evening is the closing

:05:33. > :05:37.ceremony of these Rio Olympics. It's been a fantastic one for Team GB and

:05:38. > :05:39.a fantastic one for the Scottish athletes taking part as well. That

:05:40. > :05:42.is now 13 Scottish medals, equalling their best ever Olympics

:05:43. > :05:45.tally. Let's get the latest weather
