:00:00. > :00:10.at the papers Relatives of people who died
:00:11. > :00:15.in the M5 crash in Somerset may have failed in their attempts to improve
:00:16. > :00:19.firework display regulations. Visibility on the crash night was
:00:20. > :00:22.reduced partly because of sloke Families of the victims left today's
:00:23. > :00:35.hearing clearly unhappy that the fireworks industry had resisted
:00:36. > :00:38.calls for tighter regulations. Why is it that operators
:00:39. > :00:42.are not licensed? I understand the difficulty
:00:43. > :00:45.in licensing individual displays, There is no licensing schemd
:00:46. > :00:51.in the UK at the moment. It was one of Britain's worst
:00:52. > :00:59.motorway accidents, leaving seven In April, an inquest decided that
:01:00. > :01:07.while a fireworks display bding held right next to the motorway hadn t
:01:08. > :01:12.caused the crash and the smoke from it had mixed with fog on thd night
:01:13. > :01:17.to drastically reduce visibhlity. So today, the West Somerset coroner
:01:18. > :01:21.held a hearing to discuss what might be done to prevent such
:01:22. > :01:25.a tragedy happening again. The British Pyrotechnics
:01:26. > :01:29.Association, who are responsible for training display operators,
:01:30. > :01:33.said that their training had now improved to take into account
:01:34. > :01:39.the risks presented by smokd. But both they and the Health
:01:40. > :01:42.and Safety Executive said thghter Accidents are very, very low,
:01:43. > :01:50.even amongst Europe. I think what that says is that we
:01:51. > :01:56.are effective in training otrselves, in spreading the message, in making
:01:57. > :02:02.sure that what we do is safd. One thing that did come out
:02:03. > :02:05.of today was a commitment by the Highways Agency to install
:02:06. > :02:09.more warning signs on the M4 near Taunton to warn of the dangers
:02:10. > :02:15.ahead when traffic is slowing down. So more than three years
:02:16. > :02:19.after the terrible crash here we are The coroner has gone away
:02:20. > :02:25.from today's hearing to draw up a list of recommendations which he
:02:26. > :02:28.will present to the governmdnt. He's already hinted that he may call
:02:29. > :02:31.for a change in the law restricting the proximity of fireworks displays
:02:32. > :02:35.to busy roads like this. His draft report is expected
:02:36. > :02:44.in a week. Children

:03:02. > :03:12.in the country to have been built in the grounds of a prison, to be used
:03:13. > :03:16.by children visiting their dads This is all
:03:17. > :03:18.about trying to make visiting a parent in prison a less frightening
:03:19. > :03:21.and more pleasant experiencd for the But it's also having a big dffect

:03:32. > :03:37.up in custody today and less than 100 of those will be
:03:38. > :03:41.in custody forever. So every single one of the rest of
:03:42. > :03:45.them will come out at some point. Having a strong family relationship
:03:46. > :03:48.and a strong family unit is really, really important to stop thdm
:03:49. > :03:53.coming back to places like this It is something these young
:03:54. > :03:58.people know all about. We're not identifying them to

:04:11. > :04:12.in the family dynamic. It's from going from having two
:04:13. > :04:16.parents, to having one, and being the oldest child H feel
:04:17. > :04:21.that I have to step into thd shoes. He has been away for four months
:04:22. > :04:32.and my mum is finding it difficult. Do you think many people
:04:33. > :04:40.in professional positions lhke your teachers or other people around
:04:41. > :04:43.you understand what it is lhke? I think they know what it is
:04:44. > :04:49.like to not have a parent there but I don't think they understand
:04:50. > :04:54.about if a parent did something in particular that was really horrible,
:04:55. > :04:59.or embarrassing, the teachers don't They've come up with some vdry,
:05:00. > :05:05.very basic things about being kept informed about where their parent

:06:14. > :06:19.and then I wasn't quite surd how to It's the more or less the s`me
