Several top athletes have withdrawn from the games after a footbridge to the main stadium collapsed and the roof of the weightlifting venue fell in.

Team leaders from England, Wales, New Zealand, Australia and Canada have also expressed "grave concerns" over the accommodation for 6,500 members.

Ms Robison told MSPs that the chief minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, had now taken control and guaranteed action, ahead of an inspection of the athletes' village by the Commonwealth Games Federation on Friday morning.

And she said reports from the ground were that sporting venues for the games "seemed to be in reasonable order" and that there were "no additional security concerns to what was previously anticipated".

OMG the Commonwealth games.

What a fucking debacle.

Who wants to take my bet that they will progress, albeit one day late.

It could be worse.




For example: There could be some ninja nannies wielding deadly homemade cakes at all the unsuspecting.
