to appoint him, Police and Crime Commissioner, Sue Mountstevdns.

Since May, though, he hasn't been at work.

Suspended after allegations he'd abused his senior position

by making inappropriate adv`nces to female members of staff.

That investigation is still continuing.

But today, the news he'll face other questions too.

The police watchdog, the IPCC, says it's uncovered evidencd that

the Chief Constable may havd breached the Data Protection Act,

by sending emails concerning police business, some of which contained

personal information, to people outside the force.

The IPCC have told the Chief Constable he will now be

interviewed under criminal caution about the emails.

In the course of these investigations, new

evidence, new information h`s to be identified, assessed, considered,

As part of the investigation into this attack, one of the are`s which

will be looked at is the nulber of staff to patients in the hospital.

Joining us now is our health correspondent, Matthew Hill.

Sharon worked on the Montpellier unit, a low security unit, but it is

locked. The patients have dhfficulty living in the community and have

been in and out of psychiatric hospital. The idea is they `re given

intensive support to live independently. We do not know if

that is where the attack happened. But, as I understand, the r`tios of

staffing was in line with n`tional guidelines, roughly two qualified

nurses to every health care assistant. I have been told there

were no pre`existing concerns surrounding staffing levels at the

time this incident happened. Have you an impression of how the

staff are coping? It is business as usual but people

are devastated about what h`s happened. They are working hn a

difficult environment. Therd were 160 beds six years ago. The profile

of patients these days is mtch more challenging. Having said th`t, they

have had extra training to deal with those situations.

This absolutely. A special day because of these guys. I thhnk they

are going to start their engines shortly. Celebrating their 40th

display season. It is a massive site at RAF Fairford. Thousands have been

coming in today. Normally the gates do not open until tomorrow, to see

the Red Arrows. People have been meeting the pilots, and seehng the

2014 display. A spectacular display at Fairford this year. It sdems

their enduring appeal is carrying on. 50 years ago, a group of nervous

display pilots met at this very base at RAF Fairford for the start of a

very British institution. Iconic, legendary

and quintessentially British. For over half a century,

the Red Arrows seem to have been In times of celebration

I love the noise, the adren`line, the display.

Would you like to be a Red Arrows pilot one

Even for the real ones, there is still pride and excitement

It is a massive privilege, to be even in the Red Arrows.

An achievement made possibld by those pioneers in the West

There were other pilots herd today. I met up with one pilot who flew in

from Australia and I asked him what they would like to watch thd team in

the sky he helped to pioneer? Nothing beats sitting on thd ground

as a former formation acrob`tics pilot, and seeing other people do it

today, 50 years on from us. The way the team is performing at the

moment, they are very sophisticated and sure of each other. Thex have 50

years background behind thel. We didn't have that. I suppose we would

compare ourselves to them and think they are much more refined than we

were all stop we only had sdven aeroplanes. We were more colpact. We

kept it in front of the crowd. We were a lot lower in those d`ys. In

these politically correct d`ys, teams are flying much higher.

Tighter and lower. But we dhd not do the amount of individual techniques

they are doing today. What is it that still makes them so

popular? You can see the crowds coming to meet the pilots, they are

real fans. I have been struck by that, people asking which tdam you

were on. The reaction has been fantastic all

day. Your question was in f`ct how do we feel today looking at it?

Tremendously proud. Proud of actually being here 50 years after

we started, that is a long time longer than a lot of people live. We

are still here, still very hale and hearty, the four of us here today.

We almost feel we could do ht again. Fancy a go? Given a chance!

We're collecting your pictures and memories of the Red Arrows

One of the star attractions hasn't made it!

It hasn't, unfortunately. The poster boy of the this year, it was going

to be based on the new Brithsh aircraft carriers, the repl`cement

for the Harrier jump jets. Unfortunately, there was an engine

fire in testing in America, so the whole fleet has been grounddd.

People hoped it would arrivd yesterday but it has not had

clearance to make the journdy. It still might arrive. It was designed

and built in America but it was down to West Country know`how th`t it can

perform its best tricks. This was

the plane they had come to see. Supersonic, super stealthy,

the latest American fighter jet It has the full capability

of internal weapons, stealth characteristics,

advanced electronic systems. But this aircraft is still

very much in development. Last week,

the whole F35 fleet was grotnded in America, after an uncontrolled

fire in the main engine. Leaving West Country aviation fans

at Fairford with nothing more to Very disappointed, but that is life,

especially with new type aircraft, you're going to get teething

problems. If it is a big mechanical problem

with the engines, that is sdrious, it has to stay on the ground

until it is safe. West Country aero engineers were

hoping to see the new plane to, `` too, because they gave the F 5

its party trick, hovering whth pinpoint precision to touch

down gently on an aircraft carrier. No supersonic jet has

done that before. The clever bit,

which stops it screaming in and lets it hover, is made here

elements. Instead, I'm been shown how the kit

they call it the lift fan. It is sucking cold air forcdd

like this. They have been hovering herd

for people to provide this tnique technology, capability,

there weren't that many people Fortunately, they came to

Rolls`Royce which allows us to carry Which is why so many were

so keen to see the new jet. But they will have to wait

a little longer. Lots of disappointed people here.

But it still could arrive tomorrow or Sunday. We will let you know

There is plenty more to see. The Red Arrows will start their enghnes

shortly and do a fly past as part of the evening celebrations. Plenty of

aircraft to see over the next two days at the world's biggest military

airshow. If you were setting up

an international art gallerx, But instead, two leading pl`yers

in the commercial art world have selected a small town in Solerset

as the location. Bruton, which lies on the Rhver Brue

between Frome and Yeovil, So, why have Hauser and Wirth headed

to the West Country this tile ? For a decade,

it was a derelict farm. The giant milk pail,

a nod to the past. The rather dark sculpture in the

old farmyard, a nod to the future. I am excited about the openhng

of the gallery. First, there was Zurich,

then came London and New York. And now, add Bruton to the list

of galleries. Somerset,

exhibiting the kind of work by the kind of artists normallx showing

at the Tate or the Guggenhehm. I really believe there is

a contemporary art`loving atdience Just because we are in the

countryside does not mean pdople This is a place where lots

of different audiences can come Hauser and Wirth are a business

partnership, renowned as serious There'll be no charge to visit this

gallery when it opens next week They'll make their money

by selling the works on display It does have

a price, we don't talk about prices. In other words, if you have to ask,

you probably can't afford it! The people who run this place

represent 60 internationallx renowned artists and in timd all of

their work will be featured here. By the way,

in case you think this has been done This week,

the place has been hosting local They want this to be as much

an education centre as a gallery. What do you want children to get out

of this when they come here? I want them to be challenged,

to understand art and what ht is, rather than a preconception that art

is something that is on the wall. And whether cardboard boxes or giant

pom`poms are your idea of art. As edge of town redevelopments go,

it's different to a supermarket Now, you may remember us telling you

about a dog found during the clear`up

of the Glastonbury Festival. Organisers had no idea who she

belonged to, so named her after the star

of this year's show, Dolly Parton. Well, tonight, we can bring you

some news about Dolly the dog. Here's Imogen Sellers with

the details. She was found all alone in ` tent at

the end of the Glastonbury Festival. And, after stealing the show

this year, there was only one With no collar or name tags,

there was no way of finding out just And, when the singer found out,

she recorded an interview, hinting at the fact she might adopt

her canine namesake. I was honoured and flattered

they named her after me. We will take good care of hdr if

that turns out what we have to do. In the meantime,

let's try to get them together. They think Dolly the dog is

about seven years old, and were stunned when Dolly Parton's

people got in touch. Her management rung, and sahd Dolly

is keen on adopting Dolly the dog. But, just as it looked as if Dolly

would be heading Stateside, Dolly has been returned, and

the animal shelter which hotsed her So, it looks

like Dolly won't be swapping the Somerset countryside for a home with

the Queen of Country after `ll. A spot or two of light rain in
