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, | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
a competitor from our region has won a gold mddal | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Norfolk Judo player Colin O`tes won his final bout this evening | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
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 | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
years his junior. It would have been a big upset if you didn't rdturn | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
goals are to Norfolk. But hd didn't disappoint. It was a good d`y for | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
me, I came with one purpose and that me, I came with one purpose and that | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
was take gold. I was probably the favourite, and it's often tough to | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
deliver. But I did today. There is a long way to go for our badmhnton | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
players, Sarah Walker from Dssex completed England's victory over | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Northern Ireland, five Passchendaele. Our bowlers got the | :07:54. | :08:07. | |

that could affect Norfolk overnight. `` low cloud and mist. This list and | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
low cloud will be stubborn to shift the first thing. Increasing amounts | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
of cloud for the afternoon, might produce the odd shower, in the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
firing line is Essex, a heavy downpour there. Highs of around 25 | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
or 26 Celsius. In a moment, Darren with the National forecast, but here | :09:27. | :09:30. | |

is getting too much for many people. By Sunday, the temp will be cooler | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
than today. Tonight, another warm and comfortable night for sleeping. | :09:59. | :10:26. | |
