:00:12. > :00:12.Good evening. Marquez, who died this evening.
:00:13. > :00:15.Good evening. An inquest into one of the worst
:00:16. > :00:20.accidents the West has ever seen finished today. The crash in 2011 on
:00:21. > :00:28.the M5 in Somerset involved 34 vehicles in a massive pile`up. It
:00:29. > :00:30.was because of thick fog on the carriageway. At one point the
:00:31. > :00:34.organiser of a nearby fireworks display was accused of breaching
:00:35. > :00:43.health and safety but the today the coroner said dense fog was to blame
:00:44. > :00:48.Andrew Plant reports. No`one knows which vehicles collided
:00:49. > :00:52.first. Survival said it was like a scene from a bombing. The twisted
:00:53. > :01:00.wrecks of lorries, trailers, dozens of cars. At 8:20pm on the 4th of
:01:01. > :01:04.November 2011, 34 vehicles, 51 people injured, seven people dead.
:01:05. > :01:11.The worst accident on UK roads since 1993. Tony and Pamela Adams were
:01:12. > :01:16.childhood sweethearts. Together for over 50 years. They were driving
:01:17. > :01:22.back from visiting the doctor when they were killed in the crash. ``
:01:23. > :01:27.visiting the doctor. Today the family said they were still dealing
:01:28. > :01:33.with the deaths. Everyday a mountain to climb and a struggle to get
:01:34. > :01:41.through. You feel you have lost part of your identity. It is both my mum
:01:42. > :01:46.and dad and that is not easy. Witnesses saw files, wet tyres
:01:47. > :01:51.exploded in Debbie melted to the surface of the road. One witness
:01:52. > :01:55.said the fall could be a once in a decade event, so thick he could not
:01:56. > :02:02.see more than a couple feet ahead. Others said a wall of smoke from a
:02:03. > :02:07.nearby fireworks display had drifted across the road. The owner of that
:02:08. > :02:11.display was charged with teaching health and safety and was found not
:02:12. > :02:16.guilty. Today, the coroner concluded that those seven people lost their
:02:17. > :02:19.lives in the M5 almost two and half years ago and were traffic collision
:02:20. > :02:24.when your vehicles entered an area of reduced visibility. He said he
:02:25. > :02:26.dismissed the idea that smoke was responsible for that reduced
:02:27. > :02:31.visibility, but added he could not rule out the possibility that it had
:02:32. > :02:34.added to the problem. Six of the victims died on the road. One
:02:35. > :02:40.survived long enough to make it to hospital. Today's conclusion that
:02:41. > :02:52.thick fog disorientated drivers, unable to see the carnage
:02:53. > :02:55.unfolding, just metres ahead. Children as young as eight are being
:02:56. > :02:59.caught shoplifting here in the West. Figures show that type of crime is
:03:00. > :03:02.on the increase. Our home affairs correspondent Steve Brodie has been
:03:03. > :03:04.out with officers on patrol in Bristol.
:03:05. > :03:07.Shoplifting as it is most often seen, caught on CCTV. The up`close
:03:08. > :03:11.reality is more shocking. PC Mike Woods has been called out to the
:03:12. > :03:14.Broadmead Shopping Centre. A store detective has detained four young
:03:15. > :03:20.boys ` one of them just eight years old ` on suspicion of stealing
:03:21. > :03:26.drinks. And they're being held in a room downstairs. First thing I've
:03:27. > :03:31.got to do is caution you, all right? You do not have to say anything, but
:03:32. > :03:34.it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
:03:35. > :03:36.something which you later rely on in court.
:03:37. > :03:39.PC Woods explains to the boys what could happen to them. The first
:03:40. > :03:42.alternative isn't very attractive. All four of you will be put in
:03:43. > :03:45.handcuffs, taken out of the store, walking through the store in
:03:46. > :03:49.handcuffs, which is embarrassing to begin with. There will be a van
:03:50. > :03:52.waiting for you outside. You will be put in the cage of the van and taken
:03:53. > :03:55.to a police station. The four boys caught shoplifting
:03:56. > :03:59.were dealt with by restorative justice. In other words, they had to
:04:00. > :04:02.meet face to face with the store detective who caught them and admit
:04:03. > :04:05.their guilt. The process is remarkably successful, with a very
:04:06. > :04:08.low rate of reoffending. The shop security officer tells the boys
:04:09. > :04:11.their actions could result in staff losing their jobs.
:04:12. > :04:19.How does that make you feel, guys, now that you have tried that? ``
:04:20. > :04:28.heard that? Officers agree that restorative justice works well. It
:04:29. > :04:32.is something wrong with it felt as a victimless crime. The victim every
:04:33. > :04:37.time is either the store, the customer who has to pay for this,
:04:38. > :04:41.and the consequences they go through. And the consequences of the
:04:42. > :04:44.actions on them. Over the last three years in Bristol, there were 1,800
:04:45. > :04:47.reported cases, with the worst hit being Primark. In Bath, there were
:04:48. > :04:53.647, with Boots the biggest sufferers. In Gloucester,
:04:54. > :04:57.shoplifters struck over 900 times, with Debenhams topping the list. And
:04:58. > :05:02.in Swindon, there were 660 cases reported, with Tesco hit hardest. In
:05:03. > :05:07.Weston`super`Mare, shop owner Paul Batts has CCTV on his till and a
:05:08. > :05:10.radio link with street wardens. He says small businesses are most at
:05:11. > :05:13.risk. For independent business owners like
:05:14. > :05:17.myself, this comes off my bottom line. A lot of the larger stores
:05:18. > :05:22.seem to see this as, you know, a token problem. A lot of them have
:05:23. > :05:25.lost their security guards due to cutbacks. But for smaller shops like
:05:26. > :05:29.myself, if something gets stolen, that is effectively money out of my
:05:30. > :05:32.pocket. It's a crime which nationally costs
:05:33. > :05:39.our economy millions of pounds, but it also costs society dear.
:05:40. > :05:43.A Banksy painting removed from a wall in Bristol earlier this week is
:05:44. > :05:46.going on display in the city's museum tomorrow. The street artist
:05:47. > :05:51.painted Mobile Lovers on a wall owned by the council. But it was
:05:52. > :05:55.taken down by the manager of a nearby youth project who says Banksy
:05:56. > :06:03.left it as a gift to his club which is struggling financially. Talks
:06:04. > :06:07.have been going on all day to try and work out what to do with it.
:06:08. > :06:12.Now, just before we go to the weather, tomorrow marks the start of
:06:13. > :06:17.the annual Canoe race. More than 600 people are expected to
:06:18. > :06:22.do the 125 mile challenge and the first 52 miles along the Kennet and
:06:23. > :06:26.Avon canal. Good luck to all taking part. That is all from us. There is
:06:27. > :06:31.more news on the BBC News website. For now, I will review the latest
:06:32. > :06:38.weather. `` over to the latest weather. Tomorrow will see the
:06:39. > :06:42.return of a good deal of sunshine. Another dry day. Temperatures will
:06:43. > :06:47.not be overly spectacular but the sunshine will be pretty strong.
