That's all from us. Don't forget, there's a first look | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
at the papers Relatives of people who died | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
in the M5 crash in Somerset may have failed in their attempts to improve | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
firework display regulations. Visibility on the crash night was | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
reduced partly because of sloke Families of the victims left today's | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
hearing clearly unhappy that the fireworks industry had resisted | :00:23. | :00:35. | |
calls for tighter regulations. Why is it that operators | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
are not licensed? I understand the difficulty | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
in licensing individual displays, There is no licensing schemd | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
in the UK at the moment. It was one of Britain's worst | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
motorway accidents, leaving seven In April, an inquest decided that | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
while a fireworks display bding held right next to the motorway hadn t | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
caused the crash and the smoke from it had mixed with fog on thd night | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
to drastically reduce visibhlity. So today, the West Somerset coroner | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
held a hearing to discuss what might be done to prevent such | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
a tragedy happening again. The British Pyrotechnics | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Association, who are responsible for training display operators, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
said that their training had now improved to take into account | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
the risks presented by smokd. But both they and the Health | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
and Safety Executive said thghter Accidents are very, very low, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
even amongst Europe. I think what that says is that we | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
are effective in training otrselves, in spreading the message, in making | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
sure that what we do is safd. One thing that did come out | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
of today was a commitment by the Highways Agency to install | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
more warning signs on the M4 near Taunton to warn of the dangers | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
ahead when traffic is slowing down. So more than three years | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
after the terrible crash here we are The coroner has gone away | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
from today's hearing to draw up a list of recommendations which he | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
will present to the governmdnt. He's already hinted that he may call | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
for a change in the law restricting the proximity of fireworks displays | :02:29. | :02:31. | |

about trying to make visiting a parent in prison a less frightening | :03:17. | :03:18. | |

on the prisoners themselves, helping to maintain family relationships | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
and it's hoped long`term helping to There is 86,000 plus people locked | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
up in custody today and less than 100 of those will be | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
in custody forever. So every single one of the rest of | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
them will come out at some point. Having a strong family relationship | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
