Good evening. Three people are still in hospital, but all are out | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
of intensive care after the crash in Taunton 10 days ago that left | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
seven people dead. More than 50 were injured and trauma experts | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
fear the effects could be felt for years with those involved having | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
complex psychological reactions. Members of the emergency services | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
have been offered counselling. Will Glennon has this report. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
The crash near junction 25 of the M 52 Fridays ago will be for ever met | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
-- etched in memories of those involved. Roger was incredibly | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
lucky, his car was in the middle as vehicles burst into flames around | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
him. He went to help others. When I stepped out of the car, it | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
was like stepping on to a movie set. You do not think it is real. | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
jumped out, and the front door was slightly ajar and the top. I put | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
the lever in and tried to prise it open. I swung the iron at the | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
window. It broke. I went around the side, took the glass out. I pulled | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
her out. Of those seriously injured, Emma | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
Barton was in a coma. She has now left intensive care along with two | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
others. All three remain in hospital. Last | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Friday at a vigil, the dead were remembered, but also the survivors. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
We always talk about remembrance, but actually it is forgetting that | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
is the difficult bit. Really difficult sometimes to be get some | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
of the things we see in these tragedies. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Experts in trauma three people cope in different ways. While some walk | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
away and carry on as normal, others have deep emotional reactions, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
problems which can take years to overcome. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Flashbacks, nightmares, palpitations, shaking, sweating, | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
those who are lucky enough to have survived may have survived with | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
some gruesome physical problems. As well as the stress or anxiety | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
responses, we are looking at mood problems. It is a depressing think | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
if you suddenly lose function in an arm or leg, let alone head injuries. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
For the emergency services, it is part of the job. They too can be | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
affected and counselling is being made available. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
They have held briefings for staff, letting them know help is there | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
should they need it. You can see more on tonight's | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Inside Out. The programme will also be | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
exploring the issues surrounding the use of fireworks near motorways. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
With me now is Scott Ellis, what have you discovered? | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
:04:29. | :04:30. | ||
Tonight we take a closer look at fireworks to ascertain what -- what | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
extent the firework display at the rugby club could have affected the | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
crash. Firework smoke can make for cadenza. It is a concern to for the | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
fireworks industry. It is self regulated. You don't need a licence | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
to run a big display. We have enlisted the help of experts. They | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
say smoke doesn't cause a problem, it dissipates. If the smoke had | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
moved to the motorway, it would have thinned out, that is what they | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
save. This is the man who runs the firework display and the balloon | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
fiesta. 600 metres away, I would not have | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
said too much of a problem. Within 100 metres, certainly not. 200 | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
metres, maybe too close. It is a bold commission that he | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
would not have run a display there. He was talking about the | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
destruction fireworks could cause. The firework display ended 10 | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
minutes before the crash. It is ongoing, but it will be many | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
weeks before they report into the causes of the crash. They have 30 | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
staff following up 200 lines of inquiry. The club is working very | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
closely with Avon and Somerset police. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
A driver is claiming that he followed and out of control lorry | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
for 80 miles along the M4, but was unable to get help from the police. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
Stephen Barnes spotted the lorry swaying from side to side near | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
Bristol, but says his calls failed to get a response until breading. | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
Stephen Barnes set of on a long motorway journey last Wednesday, | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
haunted by images of the M5 crash. But just after joining the M4 near | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Bristol, he sought an accident waiting to happen. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
There was an Arctic lorry in front of us, but was travelling at 60mph. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
It was swerving all over the place. Stephen, who broke his back in the | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Army, was with his carer. They dialled the police non-emergency | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
number, 101. The trailer unit went over the | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
:07:10. | :07:20. | ||
We could have had another M5 crash. It wasn't until Reading that the | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
driver was stopped, apparently over the drink limit. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
We had gone seven junctions weather Laurie could have come off. He | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
could have killed someone. His own record shows the sequence | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
of events. 5 the first run call is made. He caused again 20 minutes | :07:45. | :07:55. | |
:07:55. | :07:55. | ||
later. At 1130 Stephen is desperate and dials 999. The police caught | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
him back at 1145 and at 1156 the Thames but the police inform him of | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
the arrest. When we took up the complaints, we | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
were also passed from force to force. | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
Wiltshire Police said their nearest car was in Devizes, 17 miles away, | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
so they alerted Thames Valley where the drama eventually ended. The | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
police say motorway duties are taken seriously. Sometimes unmarked | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
lorries are used to capture dangerous drivers, but Stephen | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
Barnes says help took a long time. In other news tonight, public | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
safety is paramount and it remains a very dangerous area. That is the | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
stark warning still being issued tonight by Sedgemoor District | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Council 10 days after a section of the Bulwark dropped into the river | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
in Bridgwater. In it comes as one of 30 people | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
evacuated defied the warning and moved back home. Our reporter is | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
there now. What more can you tell I am one East keep by the river, | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
you might be able to make out that crack which is very visible. It | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
happened on the same night as the dreadful M5 crash and 10 days on | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
people are still out of their homes. They've sworn, one of the residents, | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
says the temporary accommodation is not suitable, so he has decided to | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
move back in. -- Dave. Let me remind you the full extent of the | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
damage. It is a sizable crack and a growing | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
problem. No-one is sure what this ball could take with it. We filmed | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
Dave and last week at temporary accommodation at the YMCA, one of | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
30 people evacuated and told it could be months before he is | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
allowed home. Now Dave has gone back to his flat against all advice. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
He took a camera with him, so we could see inside. | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
The only place available was in the YMCA, with my condition, to sit on | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
a dining room chair every day, it was not the best thing to do for my | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
pain. Where am in a lot of pain at the moment. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
The council says it does not harbour any accommodation and | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
whilst the wall may appear stable, circumstances could change at short | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
notice. For locals, it has become an attraction and many are | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
wondering why it takes so long to get it fixed. | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
We seem to be waiting for ever. Although the structure appears to | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
have stopped moving, engineers say, don't be fooled, the site is still | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
very dangerous. He is living within the danger zone, | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
and for him and the businesses which cannot open, it will be a | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
long wait before things get back to normal. | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
Many local people want to know why the wall is not pull down, so the | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
work can carry on. Why don't you just take the wall down and get on | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
with it? It sounds simple, but it is a huge piece of engineering. We | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
are talking about a flood defences, a highway and the buildings behind | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
it. The wall provides extra strength to the road at the moment. | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
We may have to take it down, but it is a decision to be taken as to | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
whether we do that from the road all the water. The road has been | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
compromised. The equipment we need would be huge. The adviser at the | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
moment is when we will need to do it from the water. We will need | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
hundreds of tonnes of concrete. Mr swan for his temporary | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
accommodation is not suitable, are you going to help him? | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
We cannot enforce any of the residents to stay away from their | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
properties, we can only advise. The housing association is continuing | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
to work with him, and we will do our best to meet his needs. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
A day after your help too. If you have pictures or the history of | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
what has happened here, including the Big Sue were going in 1970, the | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
council will be on the High Street. They would love to hear your | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
memories and views. You are watching Points West with | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
Chris and Alex. Coming up: Queen of the ice Amy | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
Williams talks about her full season and winning Olympic gold. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Cuddly comfort is the mother of invention, we meet the schoolboy | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
who has won �30,000. But first, one year after she was | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
murdered on her honeymoon in South Africa, Anni Dewani has been | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
remembered at candlelit vigils around the world. Her husband is | :13:35. | :13:44. | |
appealing against his extradition. Anni Dewani's family gathered again | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
last night. This candlelit vigil was held at her home town in Sweden. | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
A little after a year ago, family and friends came together to | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
celebrate her wedding, but within weeks they were to attend her | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
funeral after her brutal murder while on honeymoon in South Africa. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
The aim of last night's simultaneous events in London, | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Sweden, Cape Town and Bristol was not to discuss her death, but to | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
celebrate her life. Not one single day has gone by without us thinking | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
about Anni Dewani. My husband has barely smiled in the last year. We | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
are just full of so much sadness and the miss her so much. It has | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
been a torture for us. The idea for but did Gills came from social | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
networking sites. It unites strangers and relatives in a common | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
aim. Here in Cape Town the congregation at this time -- temple | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
watched a message from Anni Dewani's father. | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
Anni Dewani's husband denies any role in her murder, he continues to | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
be treated for depression and post traumatic stress. He will go to the | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
High Court next month to challenge the decision to extradite him to | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
South Africa to face trial. I would say to him, go back to South Africa | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
and answer the allegations against you, because we need this torture | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
to end, we do not know how long we can take it. It is really hard for | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
us, we need answers about what happened to my little sister, and | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
to our precious Anni Dewani. These vigils were not about that, they | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
were about a woman who died so young, but who touched so many | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
lives. Police in South Africa say they are | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
treating the death of the former Somerset cricket Captain Peter | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
Roebuck as suicide. The 55-year-old who is in the country working as a | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
journalist for the Australian media Test-match series, he is reported | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
to have jumped from a hotel window. This is the hotel where he felt in | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
his death. According to the South African media, he had been visited | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
by police from the sexual crimes unit. It is believed two policemen | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
visited him in his room to interview him about the incident | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
which was reported in the police station of indecent assault. While | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
the police were talking to him about the case, he asked to change | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
his clothes. It is at this point he jumped six floors to his death. | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
:16:57. | :16:58. | ||
Peter Roebuck was Somerset Captain in a era of superstars. Friends and | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
colleagues describe him as a brilliant mind, but an insecure one. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
He was a real no-no in many ways. He could be brilliant about cricket, | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
but he would not let you get close to him as a person. I don't think | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
he realised how much people want him. He will be remembered for his | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
:17:29. | :17:31. | ||
role in the club's decision to... The scars never really healed. | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
What reaction would I get it I went back, I would say, Peter... He did | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
not want to be seen too much. After being convicted for common | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
assault for caning three young cricketers, he was seldom seen in | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
England, living in Australia and South Africa where police will now | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
investigate why he decided to end his life. | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
This time two years ago few of us had heard the name Amy Williams, | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
but on 20th February 1920 11 -- 2010, that changed. That was the | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
day Amy one Olympic gold in the women's skeleton. From Top Gear to | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
the royal box in Wimbledon, she has become our golden goal. | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
Imogen sailors caught up with her over coffee in her home town of | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
:18:43. | :18:45. | ||
Bath. I guess expectation from everyone, | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
we have got such a strong bunch of goals coming up behind me. There | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
are six of us who are a really strong. The fight for places is | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
very hard. I guess, it is trying to juggle the because of what I have | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
been through and do enough training. It has gone well. It was a tough | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
few races. Luckily, my consistency came through and I managed to get | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
my place again. How much has your life changed | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
since winning an Olympic gold? My life has changed and it hasn't. | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
Half of me feels really different. I have had to grow out of my skin | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
and a bit more, become more confident. Get used to interviews! | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
And take opportunities which have been thrown at me. I have enjoyed | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
that. On the other side, I still have to train, I go to the gym | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
every day, I have to work through that side of my life. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
We saw you on 71 degrees north, how was that? | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
I loved every minute of it will mean bat. That was the whole of | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
March last year. I disappeared for a whole of March. It was | :20:03. | :20:12. | |
challenging. Internally, it was a lot of psychology -- I had to | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
toughen up. It was a lot colder than I was used to. We were out in | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
it 24 hours a day. When I am competing, I will be outside for | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
the minimum time possible. Your good friend was badly injured, | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
how is she? We arrived there the day after her | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
crash. I have spoken to her, she is positive. She has taken some walks | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
in hospital. Her family are there now with her. A lot of | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
encouragement, she will be fine and it back on track. So unfortunate, | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
but these things happen in all sports. | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
We were saying earlier about how far will always feel like home, do | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
:21:12. | :21:19. | ||
you really feel that? -- Bath. Whenever I am away, I love coming | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
back home. It is a beautiful place to be. I never wish to move from | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
:21:33. | :21:33. | ||
We don't want her to, she can stay for ever. Bath City is in for a big | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
player out after Bairbre play against Dagenham and Redbridge. And | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
they drew one-all on Saturday. Sean Cannon scored in the first half. | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
The replay will be on Wednesday 23rd November. | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
Every once in a while a new invention hits the shops. When you | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
see it, you think, I could have thought of that. That is the key to | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
any great invention, simplicity. The kind of thing you cannot | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
believe hasn't already been marketed. That is true of a new | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
design designed by a schoolboy, it has won a national competition and | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
a prototype is being built to test the market. The inventor is Joseph | :22:19. | :22:27. | |
weaver, he is here with us now. What an incredible day for you! | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
is the best day Abba. Here is a picture of your design. | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
Basically, it is a soft animal attachment for the car seat. Its | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
purpose is to enhance the seat and make it look like a friendly animal. | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
A blanket rolls up to cover the child and the arms hold the child | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
in place. You could do that for grown-ups! | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
:23:10. | :23:11. | ||
I wanted it to design a product aimed at children. The thing that | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
hit me was a soft Tories. Children like a soft pourri to go to bed | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
with. I had a few sketches on paper and then I had a recollection of a | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
:23:35. | :23:44. | ||
monkey my brother how does a soft Tory. -- toy. I am really impressed, | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
but here is what Trevor Baylis had to say. | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
I like the idea. It has brought into the equation the need for such | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
a thing. This would make a fabulous Christmas present, or a bit of fun | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
for the car. I like the idea. He likes you so much, he said, we | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
will have to snap you up and offer you a apprenticeship. I have been | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
offered a week's work experience next year. I am looking forward to | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
that. It is a reflection on you. You | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
:24:38. | :24:40. | ||
obviously deserve it. Well done. Keep inventing. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
I will be at the peer on Weston Super Mare for the big fundraiser, | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
but if you want to get involved you can. | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
Our colleagues in BBC radio are hosting some screenings of the hit | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
musical Grease. If you want to find musical Grease. If you want to find | :25:03. | :25:13. | |
:25:13. | :25:17. | ||
We want to know how the weather is looking. Yesterday it was glorious. | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
Today, by contrast, it has been the opposite. We will see some | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
improvements taking place tomorrow. This picture will sum up how the | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
morning will develop. Brighter spells appearing. We have high | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
pressure anchored out over Scandinavia. That is dominating | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
things at the moment. Things are starting to shift around. The winds | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
starting to pick up, these frontal systems never too far away. It is | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
the detail of those that will dictate the amount of wet weather | :26:02. | :26:10. | |
we get. The satellite image shows do his shield of cloud which has | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
been anchored over parts of the United Kingdom today. It continues | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
overnight. Tonight, no significant change to the conditions we sure -- | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
soared during the day. Hill fog conditions, spots of drizzle as | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
well. Despite the cloud cover, it will be a chilly night. These are | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
the urban temperatures we can expect. Degree or two mower in the | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
countryside. Tomorrow morning will this -- start on that note. We will | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
see hints of things brightening up. The dry air from the Continent will | :26:57. | :27:06. | |
nibble away at the cloud. In the west of Somerset, you will hang on | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
to more cloud, but on balance a brighter day compared to do day. | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
The cloud is back with us on Wednesday morning. Temperatures up | :27:21. | :27:31. | |
:27:31. | :27:33. | ||
a degree on today. More breezy and milder. No threat of any frost. | :27:33. | :27:40. |
