Detectives want to speak to these two men, seen here in connection

with the incident that took place three days ago.

The offence happened in Rope Walk on the corner of Grimwade Street.

She was grabbed from behind by two men who covered her

After being followed through town, she was forced into this car

park where she was physically assaulted and then raped.

The attack was thought to have lasted several

minutes and the attackers both made off by foot.

We have visited more than 200 premises in and around Rope

led us to identify two men who are of particular interest to the

She's worked very closely with our specially trained officers and

she has got a strong family and friends network

around her so she's making good progress but we continue

Has she been able to give you any information about the attackers?

So, she has spoken at length with our officers

and she has a good recollection of most of the evening

but as you've probably seen from the earlier releases,

unfortunately she was knocked unconscious during the attack.

She did suffer some significant facial and neck injuries

as a result and that has had an impact on her memory.

How unusual is it for an attack by two men?

So, stranger rape offences are very rare, thankfully, and it's even more

rare for there to be two people involved.

That said, in this occasion, it is quite clear that

these two individuals were working together.

They appear to haved followed the victim for some time

to the location of the attack and then they remain together

afterwards and the CCTV that we have released today is footage

of two people we are very, very keen to speak to as a matter of

The question is this, should Ipswich continue to be

the county town of Suffolk or should it be Bury St Edmunds?

Some people in Bury believe it's time for a change.

So let's hear some of the arguments in a moment from Richard Daniel

in Ipswich but first, Mike Liggins in Bury St Edmunds.

Bury St Edmunds Cathedral, magnificent.

Now, I don't want to upset people at the very beginning

but Ipswich doesn't have one of these.

In recent days, there has been some good-natured banter

between the burghers of Bury and Ipswich,

which town deserves to be the capital of Suffolk?

On paper, it is Ipswich but is Bury St Edmunds,

People I spoke to in the street seemed to think it might be.

Lots of civic pride, the people are lovely.

Nice place to bring up your children.

I live in Bury, it's a nice place to live and work, yes.

I haven't found anywhere better yet so

If history matters in the county town

countdown, then Bury St Edmunds scores highly, of course.

There's the Angel Hotel where Charles

The pillar of salt said to be the country's first

internally illuminated sign and, of course, the cathedral, originally

part of a nationally important abbey.

This cathedral was part of the Benedictine monastery, it was a

church within that monastery and in 1914, we were created

as a diocese and turned into a cathedral.

We split from the diocese of Ely and the diocese of Norwich.

We see ourselves as Suffolk's cathedral.

Ipswich might have some industrial muscle, OK, but Bury can point

to the Greene King brewery and the

Bury St Edmunds is a regional destination of

-- for shoppers and then there is tourism, people come from all over

the world to drink in the Mutshell, Britain's smallest pub.

We have a very good regular basis and

tourists, yes, people again will pop in for

the novelty value of the size of the place,

just even to say that they have had a beer here.

So, Bury St Edmunds is hard to beat but is Ipswich even better?

This isn't about which town is the Quakers, which has the prettiest

gardens, the nicest theatre. The best shopping experience. It is

really about which town has the biggest grant, the most

administrative appointments. And in that respect, Ipswich have the edge.

Whether it is the instruments of the state or the country's youngest

university, or call Ipswich their home. It is a town with a proud

history, from Cardinal Wolsey to its industrial past, once one of

England's most important ports, its waterfront has since been

transformed. This might sound odd but in the past, Suffolk did

actually have two county town. This used to be the headquarters of the

east Suffolk County Council. And West Suffolk county council was

bathed in Bury St Edmunds but then under local government

reorganisation in 1974, it was decided that Ipswich should be the

centre of power. Unsurprisingly, there are plenty here who believe it

should stay that way. Bury St Edmunds is an old town that Ipswich

should be the main one. I love Bury St Edmunds but I still think Ipswich

should be the capital. Shopping, transport, both need improvement.

Those behind Ipswich's regeneration acknowledge the town's image isn't

what it should be. They insist that is changing fast. It is the county

town, it is the largest administration centre by really some

distance. It is exceptionally well connected, mainline through to

Peer on peer abuse is, without any doubt at all,

the greatest threat as far as child sexual exploitation

We recorded over 9000 crimes last year and, unfortunately,

Child sexual exploitation is seen very much

through the lens of Asian males abusing vulnerable white females,

yes, that is one model of child sexual

exploitation but by far the greatest challenge

is within the field of peer on peer abuse which is

why the investment in officers within our schools is so important.

You are working with the young people but

what about the parents, how important is it to educate them

Because they might not be aware of the risks of the Internet.

There is no doubt that young generations of students now are

probably more able and capable in terms

of their online activity but

it is why parents need to ask the difficult questions,

they need to be really reassured about what they are

doing, who they are talking to, that the right

security arrangements are

in place and they can then work with their children and help them

navigate those really early formative years where if we don't

get it right, the real damage is done.

But for years, Simon Elliott has dined out on the story.

Simon, who is now the chairman of the Cocks and Hens Tennis club

in Cambridge, was nineteen at the time.

And today the Wimbledon semi-finalist had his chance

of revenge as he opened the club's new home.

This from our sports editor Jonathan Park.

It was built as a grudge match, one side of the net, Tim Henman, British

tennis icon, the other, Simon Elliott with no previous grand

fabric spreads. Simon, I think I was seven, I think you said three. It

was definitely seven. It will be good fun to play again. They say

revenge is best served cold. It is pretty cold up here. What a great

spot, I'm grateful that him coming out on this day and having a bit of

fun. Henman has waited 35 years for this moment, today's occasion, the

grand opening of the tennis club's new home in Cambridge where Simon is

the chairman. Many of the club's village and 60 members were

courtside for the biggest match scene in the city for a long time.

-- 360. Classic tennis weather. Simon Elliott here doing his best to

keep up with Tim Henman. Tim Henman is leading the tie-break or eight

points to three. He has won the tie-break just like that. Revenge.

Yes, it has been a long time. With honours finally even, the court's

were opened up. Each child took valuable advice from Tim Hedman.

What was the trendy teaching? To bring my racquet back quicker. As

soon as it hits the ball. He gave me tips on my folly which was helpful.

claims to be the second oldest club in back to 1870. It allows the club

to expand, already membership is up by 30%. We were originally the

college croquet club, croquet with the thing back then. Then tennis

came along. We moved out to another site in the north-west and now we

are back. It is kind of coming home ready. It was quite a coup for this

little-known but historic clubbing can bridge to get Tim Henman encore,

the only thing that did not play ball, was the weather. -- get Tim

Henman encore. Today, we have had some blue sky and

sunshine. There was some out there but by five o'clock this evening, a

lot more cloud in this part of ethics and a serious lack of

sunshine. You can see why. Through the afternoon, cloud the evening

from the west. Some bandings from the west. There is more pushing in

from the west. It will move eastwards over lead XP allows. Once

it has gone, I think we will see the cloud breaking, a lot of clear sky

developing and underneath these clear skies, a little lower than

these values, down to around freezing in some spots. Out of the

wind, there is a potential for some frost but the strength of the wind

will prevent frost in many places. Tomorrow, this weather friend

pushing in from the south west. There is still a lot of uncertainty

as how quickly it is going to move on. We get off to a cold, bright

start with a good deal of sunshine. Eventually we are expecting this

thick cloud and rain to start moving very erratically up from the self.

We are not sure how far north it is going to get. Temperatures around

nine Celsius. With light to moderate south-westerly winds. Do the

afternoon and evening, we are expecting the rain to get a little

further northwards, in the extreme north, you could stay dry for a good

part of the day into the evening. Now, into Thursday, there will be

shams showers around to start the day but then it should become drier

and brighter and sunny spells developing. The uncertainty on

Thursday is the strength of the wind. It may become gale force for a

time that we are not sure when those winds are going to reach their peak.

I will have more on that when I speak to tomorrow. Friday, the wind

should ease down, a dry start to Friday, maybe a bit of brightness

but cloud around and some more rain eventually spreading up from the

south. Saturday, the thicker cloud and rain is going to hang around.

The potential for a rather unsettled we can.

I will see you later. Thank you very much. Rain, rain, rain. That is all

from us, have a good evening. Goodbye.
