Hello and welcome to South Today, I'm Jo Kent.

:00:00.:00:00.

The top stories tonight: Killed by a hit-and-run drunk driver.

:00:00.:00:07.

As the government reviews sentencing, his parents call

:00:08.:00:10.

Four children taken to hospital after cocaine

:00:11.:00:16.

There was concern they mistook it for sherbert.

:00:17.:00:20.

And Saints hang on by their fingertips to

:00:21.:00:22.

Southampton's footballers made history tonight.

:00:23.:00:37.

They reached their first major Wembley final for 38 years

:00:38.:00:40.

by beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield against all the odds.

:00:41.:00:43.

Their 2-0 aggregate win means they're the first team ever to reach

:00:44.:00:46.

Kris Temple is at Anfield for us tonight.

:00:47.:00:50.

Kris, a fantastic night for Saints, the club and the fans.

:00:51.:00:59.

Very much so. A momentous night here at Anfield for the 3500 fans packed

:01:00.:01:11.

into the Anfield Road and behind me, that was where all the drama

:01:12.:01:14.

happened. Lots of chances at both happened. Lots of chances at both

ends but Saints maintained the record of having not conceded in yet

:01:19.:01:23.

cup competition to make their first League Cup final since 1979.

:01:24.:01:26.

As often happens at Anfield, Saints came under intense pressure

:01:27.:01:30.

Then Nathan Redmond create the best two chances of the first half.

:01:31.:01:35.

Dusan Tadic couldn't take advantage of the first.

:01:36.:01:39.

The second, three minutes later, was perhaps even better.

:01:40.:01:42.

This time, James Davis couldn't finish, much to Saints' frustration.

:01:43.:01:48.

In the second half, Fraser Forster made a real hash of a 52nd-minute

:01:49.:01:52.

shot then saved his own bacon with an astonishing stop.

:01:53.:01:58.

After that, Saints' goal led a charmed life until injury time

:01:59.:02:02.

when young substitute Josh Sims broke clear to tee up Shane Long,

:02:03.:02:07.

3500 supporters making the long journey from the south coast. Most

:02:08.:02:26.

of those will be first in the queue for the tickets for the Wembley

:02:27.:02:33.

final when they go on sale. Absolutely brilliant. I and Bob

:02:34.:02:40.

gobsmacked. Shane Long, Magic. They were defending really deep. Wembley!

:02:41.:02:48.

When Shane Long went through, it was brilliant. Absolutely amazing. We

:02:49.:02:56.

are going to Wembley! We will win the cup! Let's go! The EFL Cup is

back to the south coast the mood. A couple from Hampshire whose son

:03:19.:03:22.

was killed by a drunk driver say a consultation about tougher

:03:23.:03:25.

penalties doesn't go far enough. 28-year-old Wayne Moores

that were wrong. Wayne Moores' parents

:04:02.:04:04.

remember their son, In September 2010, he was travelling

:04:05.:04:06.

home to Hampshire on his motorbike when he was struck by a drunk driver

:04:07.:04:13.

who fled the scene. Nothing can prepare parents

:04:14.:04:17.

for seeing their child Every day, that vision

:04:18.:04:21.

comes into my mind. The driver, Donna Hackett,

:04:22.:04:36.

was given a six-year sentence for causing death by careless

:04:37.:04:42.

driving while under Wayne's parents feel the current

:04:43.:04:44.

wording of charges and the penalties given don't reflect the seriousness

:04:45.:04:51.

of road deaths. What message does it

:04:52.:04:54.

give to the criminal? "Oh, don't worry, you're

:04:55.:04:58.

just a bit careless. The Government's consulting

on whether the maximum sentence for such crimes should be increased

from 14 years to life. Wayne's parents believe that needs

to push for the law to be rewritten, a move they hope might change

attitudes and save lives. Next some developing news tonight

:06:02.:06:06.

and South Today has been told that plans to devolve greater powers

:06:07.:06:16.

from Westminster to councils along the Solent are

:06:17.:06:18.

now dead in the water. The idea had been to give councils

:06:19.:06:20.

more control over transport, housing and infrastructure along

:06:21.:06:23.

with extra funding. Our political editor,

:06:24.:06:24.

Peter Henley, told me earlier how the controversial idea finally

:06:25.:06:27.

hit the buffers. There was a crunch

:06:28.:06:30.

meeting this afternoon. It was all the MPs at Westminster

:06:31.:06:31.

and a lot of the council leaders. It was intended to try

:06:32.:06:35.

and find a way forward. With the Isle of Wight having

:06:36.:06:37.

changed from independent control to Conservative control

:06:38.:06:40.

and the Conservatives saying they wanted nothing to do

:06:41.:06:41.

with Portsmouth and Southampton, it seemed clear, I am told by MPs,

:06:42.:06:44.

that there was no way forward. Now the council leaders are saying

:06:45.:06:49.

it's dead in the water. ?1 billion of government money has

:06:50.:06:52.

gone away and it will be some time before they find a way of trying

:06:53.:06:56.

to get that back again. The councils will have

:06:57.:06:59.

to think about mergers. This is what's happening Dorset -

:07:00.:07:04.

they're talking about There's a meeting tomorrow

:07:05.:07:06.

to get down that road. It's happening in

:07:07.:07:10.

Oxfordshire as well. Reorganising local government

structure, rather than taking existing councils, electing a mayor

:07:13.:07:16.

and making a super authority. These things may sound

:07:17.:07:21.

technical but, in the end, it's about setting the course

:07:22.:07:23.

forward for the next decade. And all the potential money

:07:24.:07:28.

for social care in particular that could have come with this,

:07:29.:07:32.

it looks like that won't happen - they're going to have to go back

:07:33.:07:35.

to the drawing board and find I'm told there was will in the room

:07:36.:07:38.

for some kind of combined transport authority for Hampshire but that's

:07:39.:07:43.

very different to a devolution deal. A school in Poole has written

:07:44.:07:52.

to all its parents after four children came into contact

:07:53.:07:55.

with cocaine on the school premises. One child was found

:07:56.:07:57.

in possession of the drug at Broadstone Middle School

:07:58.:07:59.

and the teachers say the children Anjana Gadgil has been

:08:00.:08:02.

at the school today and earlier It happened on the 3rd

:08:03.:08:05.

of January, the first day back The schools say they found a child

:08:06.:08:09.

with three other children in possession of an unknown

:08:10.:08:13.

substance, a white powder The school says the children

:08:14.:08:16.

believed it to be sweet, They phoned Dorset Police

:08:17.:08:21.

and South West Ambulance who came here and treated the children

:08:22.:08:26.

at the scene and then took them They established that the children

:08:27.:08:29.

hadn't ingested any of the drug, they were all fine and they were

:08:30.:08:34.

discharged on the day. This school here has around 500

:08:35.:08:37.

pupils aged between nine and 13. We don't know the ages or the

:08:38.:08:42.

genders of the children involved. I was here as school ended today,

:08:43.:08:46.

speaking to parents. Some say the school had told them

:08:47.:08:48.

not to speak to us but I did manage I'll make an appointment

:08:49.:08:54.

with the head and speak to her and, until I hear the facts

:08:55.:09:01.

from the different people, They've reacted quite well

:09:02.:09:06.

to it, the headteacher. Do you feel the parents have been

:09:07.:09:13.

given enough information We've been kept

:09:14.:09:16.

informed, that's fine. Has the school had anything

:09:17.:09:20.

else to say about it? The school says it's written

:09:21.:09:23.

to all parents and carers and reassured them that it was dealt

:09:24.:09:25.

with swiftly and it was The police have confirmed

:09:26.:09:28.

that it was cocaine and have arrested a 32-year-old man

:09:29.:09:33.

from Bournemouth on suspicion of drug offences and he's been

:09:34.:09:36.

bailed pending further inquiries. That's all from the South Today

:09:37.:09:45.

news team this evening. Here with our regional

:09:46.:09:47.

weather forecast. Freezing temperatures overnight and

:09:48.:09:56.

a widespread frost but a good deal of cloud, less in the way of fog and

:09:57.:10:01.

more in the way of cloud. Temperatures in the countryside will

:10:02.:10:07.

dip to -2 minus three Celsius. A cold and frosty start to the day

:10:08.:10:11.

tomorrow, quite a lot of cloud first thing but given the strength of the

:10:12.:10:14.

breeze, that should break up the cloud cover. Further north of

:10:15.:10:20.

Berkshire, more cloud during the course of the day into the

:10:21.:10:23.

afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow will reach a high of three or four

:10:24.:10:28.

Celsius. But that icy cold wind coming in from the near continent,

:10:29.:10:31.

temperatures will feel more like freezing. Through the cause of

:10:32.:10:37.

tomorrow night, the possibility of the frost. Through Friday, a frosty

:10:38.:10:44.

start in places. Outbreaks are patchy rain. The winds will be brisk

:10:45.:10:50.

from the south. On Friday night, more persistent rain arriving into

:10:51.:10:54.

the early hours of Saturday morning. A widespread frost tomorrow, cloudy

:10:55.:10:59.

start, but an icy cold wind coming in from Europe.

:11:00.:10:59.

take a look at the Outlook towards the weekend.

:11:00.:11:07.

Good evening. If you think it was cold today, for many it will be

:11:08.:11:13.

colder still tomorrow. Cold even when we have the sunshine today.

:11:14.:11:17.

This was one of the wonderful weather watcher pictures we had sent

:11:18.:11:20.

in from Cornwall. It contrasts with a cloudy and foggy eastern half of

:11:21.:11:26.

the country, and a bank of cloud. Still foggy, but it is starting to

:11:27.:11:30.

lift. It is being pushed north and west, this bank of cloud. That will

:11:31.:11:33.

continue through the night. We will still have some fog sitting on the

:11:34.:11:38.

hills. Even with the cloud, it will be a cold night, with temperatures

:11:39.:11:43.

away from the far north and west falling to freezing. In the

:11:44.:11:46.

countryside, well below freezing.
