Good evening, I'm Jenny Kirk. team event.

:00:17.:00:17.

The Conservative party is t`king action tonight four months

:00:18.:00:19.

after the Suffolk MP David Ruffley was arrested and cautioned for

:00:20.:00:22.

Despite an apology from Mr Ruffley, the case has now been referred to

:00:23.:00:25.

the Chief Whip, the man responsible for party discipline.

:00:26.:00:30.

In David Ruffley's constitudncy it seemed that many felt

:00:31.:00:32.

The fact that he has been c`utioned, he is more or less belittling it.

:00:33.:00:39.

I don't think he's the sort of person to represent an area.

:00:40.:00:49.

I think he should do the honourable thing which is to resign.

:00:50.:00:54.

If you can't control your emotions in

:00:55.:00:58.

your domestic environment, `re you trustworthy in the public domain?

:00:59.:01:03.

He has been a competent MP, basically.

:01:04.:01:06.

No, I don't think it is a resigning matter.

:01:07.:01:14.

He wasn't in, neighbours said they don't see much

:01:15.:01:19.

No reply either at the Bury St Edmunds constituencx

:01:20.:01:24.

I said four weeks ago, when it first broke,

:01:25.:01:29.

And on social media, more condemnation of Mr Ruffley

:01:30.:01:39.

The Bury Saint Edmunds Fawcdtt Society tweeted...

:01:40.:01:46.

A researcher for a Conservative MP, one of the first to complain

:01:47.:01:51.

If I had done something likd that, I think it would be difficult

:01:52.:01:57.

We are actually trying to do something with this problem

:01:58.:02:02.

in society, we have to try lead by example here, I have alw`ys said

:02:03.:02:06.

Tonight, political commentators questioned weather Mr Ruffldy

:02:07.:02:10.

Earlier, I caught up with our political correspondent

:02:11.:02:17.

Andrew Sinclair, who explained whether having the Chief Whhp now

:02:18.:02:20.

Well, some people will say that this is just the Conservative Party

:02:21.:02:25.

You could also argue that this is the Conservative Party finally

:02:26.:02:29.

Until last month they have hidden behind this statement that

:02:30.:02:33.

the matter was dealt with by the police at the time

:02:34.:02:37.

Many women's groups found that insulting.

:02:38.:02:42.

Now the Chief Whip is involved, Michael Gove, the new Chief Whip.

:02:43.:02:45.

He could suspend David Ruffley from the party, he could make him

:02:46.:02:50.

apologise, he might even persuade him to stand down.

:02:51.:02:54.

However the political reacthon has been muted, hasn't it?

:02:55.:02:58.

Yes, there has been talk about a wall of silence.

:02:59.:03:01.

Many Conservatives that we tried to speak to haven't returned otr calls,

:03:02.:03:05.

those that have have said they felt it inappropriate to comment.

:03:06.:03:10.

This is a very embarrassing issue for the Conservative Party, it's

:03:11.:03:13.

possible a lot of people max feel if they stay quiet it may go away.

:03:14.:03:16.

Also the sense of concern for Mr Ruffley,

:03:17.:03:21.

who has been unwell in recent years, and also for his former partner

:03:22.:03:25.

Talking of political reaction, we have had a statement

:03:26.:03:27.

from the Conservative Party who say they welcome Mr Ruffley's statement

:03:28.:03:31.

of yesterday, and they note his acceptance of responsibhlity

:03:32.:03:34.

They are noting a lot of thhngs but interestingly, no sign of stpport.

:03:35.:03:40.

I think it is very hard to set the moment, I've spoken to some

:03:41.:03:44.

people who believe his position is untenable, I've spoken to other

:03:45.:03:48.

people who have said look, Mr Ruffley has said that thhs is a

:03:49.:03:51.

private matter, his former girlfriend has accepted

:03:52.:03:54.

There is a meeting of the local party next week,

:03:55.:03:58.

A man thought to be an illegal immigrant has bedn killed

:03:59.:04:05.

by a reversing coach at its depot in West Norfolk.

:04:06.:04:08.

The accident happened at Harrods in Bexwell just after 1:00pl

:04:09.:04:11.

Police say the man who died was in his 20s or 30s and

:04:12.:04:16.

A rolling road block's been in place this evening while police

:04:17.:04:22.

It's part of an investigation into the deaths of a Lithuanian couple

:04:23.:04:26.

It's believed Tadas Zaleskas pushed his fiance in front of a car

:04:27.:04:34.

They were earlier spotted on the A1101 where searches have

:04:35.:04:40.

57 workers have been made rddundant across Suffolk,

:04:41.:04:45.

Norfolk and Essex after a car parts supplier went btst.

:04:46.:04:48.

Unipart Automotive has 6 local branches including a factorx in

:04:49.:04:53.

Some jobs have been saved in a deal to buy parts of the business

:04:54.:05:00.

Campaigners for sea defences at Hemsby on the Norfolk coast say they

:05:01.:05:03.

will continue their fight ddspite being turned down for millions

:05:04.:05:06.

They'd applied for ?2.3 million from the Coastal Communities Fund

:05:07.:05:11.

and only found out by email that they'd been rdjected.

:05:12.:05:16.

On the first day of the summer holidays,

:05:17.:05:18.

It's difficult to imagine the scene here last December

:05:19.:05:23.

when the North Sea storm surge hit the stretch of coastline.

:05:24.:05:29.

In Hemsby, they lost seven homes and the lifeboat station.

:05:30.:05:34.

After the surge, local campaigners applied to

:05:35.:05:37.

the Coastal Communities Fund for money to protect their beach.

:05:38.:05:40.

We are devastated here, mortified that we didn't get through

:05:41.:05:48.

We don't know why. We have been told we don't closely fit their criteria.

:05:49.:05:58.

The Hemsby bid was backed by the local MP and communities

:05:59.:06:01.

council, that's not to say the council is unhappy

:06:02.:06:08.

about the scheme, but we haven't got through the formal process

:06:09.:06:11.

Once you have done that, we can look at different pots.

:06:12.:06:18.

What can Hemsby do to protect its beach and dunes?

:06:19.:06:22.

It is considering using two options, old tyres, blocks made out

:06:23.:06:24.

What they don't have yet is money or planning permission.

:06:25.:06:33.

But they do have a tourist hndustry worth ?80 million a year to

:06:34.:06:38.

the local economy, which is a very good reason to keep the sea at bay.

:06:39.:06:46.

Within 24 hours of the openhng ceremony of the Commonwealth Games,

Alex Dunlop has more on his victory and the rest

:06:57.:06:58.

There was only one colour of metal that Colin Oates wanted ` gold. The

:06:59.:07:22.

player had too much power and technique for the Cypriots, eight
