I'm Susie Fowler`Watt. in Glasgow. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
David Ruffley, the MP for Bury St Edmunds hs | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
fighting for his political life tonight after a letter was published | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
about his recent police caution for assaulting his former girlfriend. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Written by the Dean of St Edmundsbury, it claims | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
the assault was more serious than Mr Ruffley had admitted. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Tonight the MP said he considered the matter closed. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
This report from our political correspondent Andrew Sinclahr. | :00:27. | :00:43. | |
Until evening, the MP has stayed silent about what happened here at | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
his London flat for months `go, hoping the controversy would go | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
away. He has been condemned by women's groups and party melbers but | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
it is the unintended public`tion of a letter from the Dean of S`int | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Edmunds Greyhound the detail that has had the most dramatic effect. In | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
a letter written last week `nd copied to a number of peopld in the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Conservative Party, and meets today on a political website, the very | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
regular and Francis Ward dods not mince her words. | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
She then goes on to say:. She said that when she went to meet his | :01:22. | :01:35. | |
former girlfriend and went to hug her | :01:36. | :01:35. | |
that when she went to meet his former girlfriend and after the | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
assault the Winston obvious pain and when talking about the assatlt had | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
been frightened of your ragd and violent behaviour. She has remained | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
unwilling to speak out but H cannot let you try to tell me it w`s only a | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
little local incident or th`t she was at fault, I must remain two of | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
the seriousness of the assatlt and that you were under arrest not her. | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
Tonight, a statement from the NPA admitted to what he called on | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
appropriate action on his p`rt. The MP's local party will mdet next | :02:05. | :02:26. | |
week to discuss the issue btt at the moment it is backing him. Not | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
everyone is happy. This has gone on for too long. I think he hoped it | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
would disappear but it hasn't. All of the bits and pieces of modern | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
communications are a late whth what is going on. People think that his | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
position is no prejudice to such an extent that he cannot continue. You | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
has now finally explained He hopes that is enough. | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
I ask Andrew whether he thotght the MP had done enough. It is h`rd to | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
find any supporters of him on social media, the Bury Saint Edmunds | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
society that led the calls for him to go as tweeted tonight, wd are | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
appalled by his statement. He has no credibility. A member of thd party, | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
she works in Norfolk and was one of the first people to actuallx | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
criticising, is seeing, this news is simply not good enough I will not | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
let it drop. The Conservative Police and Crime Commissioners for Suffolk | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
is seeing the late, such behaviour is inexcusable. I had done that I | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
would have had to resign. Wd cannot have these issues being swept under | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the carpet. At the end of the day what happens next will be how this | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
is played in the newspapers over the next few days. If there is `n outcry | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
it will look bad. And the local party is due to meet next wdek to | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
discuss this? That is right, the party is officially supporthng him | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
but we know that there are ` knob of people in the party who havd a lot | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
concerns, it is interesting that the Dean chose to copy this letter to a | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
number of conservatives within the Bury Saint Edmunds any which shows | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
there is a lot of concern about there is a lot of concern about | :04:14. | :04:16. | |

Nonita Karajevaite were both hit Police are treating her death | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
as suspicious, believing she may have been pushed | :04:43. | :04:45. | |

Freemason Lodge this morning, Sir Michael Stoute would have woken up | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
to some very uncomfortable headlines but it was business as usual in the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |

these blood samples undergo its vigorous. They can pick up tiny | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
amount of foreign substances. We have no idea of the concentration | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
identified. If it was a tinx concentration it will have ` | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
negligible effect on the horse's performance. Embarrassing for the | :06:41. | :06:47. | |

43 athletes from our region are amongst the thousands taking part. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Our sports reporter Tom Williams spent the day in Glasgow finding out | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
A spectacular Scottish welcome 4 England, sporting rivalry c`st | :07:07. | :07:22. | |
aside. After all, these are billed as the friendly games. The village | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
is filling up, 71 nation silile I think themselves with their new | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
surroundings. The athletes `re settling in. Some are getting | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
creative. Others just getting comfortable. The hub of the village | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
is the dining hall, with around 4500 athletes lost the support staff the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
estimate 20,000 meals per d`y will be served. Catering for all tastes. | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
Team England is the biggest team, over 400 athletes and there has been | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
a huge investment in sports science, physio and recovery equipment here | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
in the lion 's den. Athletes are moving towards the limits of human | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
performance, we are trying to decode these marginal gains in this area is | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
what will give us that. We can move people from off the podium `nd onto | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
the podium but more importantly from bronze into gold. 4500 athldtes are | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
here, the venues are ready `nd with over 1 billion people watchhng | :08:22. | :08:26. | |

There is no hanging about, the action starts straightaway hn the | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
morning, with swelling, badlinton and squash. You can follow the | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
progress of all of the athldtes on the east on your local BBC radio | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
station and on the website. That's all from me, even as the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
weather. After a hot day a warm and dry and eight, long clear spells out | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
there with Patrick load and perhaps the odd missed part as he gdt into | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
the early hours of the mornhng. We begin Thursday quite warm and it | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
will quickly caught up in the way to work. At easterly breeze will mean | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
that we record cooler temperatures on the coast into the mid`20s, but | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
further west certainly 27 or 28 degrees is quite possible. Ht is | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
likely to stay fine race through the day. Here is our output, a settle | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
for gas for the rest of the week and into the weekend, | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
of some showers and at Wilton cooler from the north. The national picture | :09:33. | :09:33. | |
comes from Philip Avery. Unusually, I can say good morning. | :09:34. | :09:48. | |
Wednesday has been noticeable for a number of reasons. From a | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
meteorological point of view, it was the warmest | :09:54. | :09:54. |
