Description
After the UK government unveiled reforms to ensure there would be no repeat of the "unforgivable" response to the 1989 Hillsborough football disaster, former Liverpool bishop James Jones, who led a 2017 report into the response to the tragedy, calls the statement "serious and substantial" whilst acknowledging it "falls short of the hopes of the Hillsborough families". Ninety-seven Liverpool fans lost their lives in a crush at the stadium in Sheffield, northern England, in what remains Britain's worst sporting tragedy. Margaret Aspinall, who lost her 18-year-old son James in the crush, says that "not one person has been held to account. That is not justice." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
