:00:12. > :00:12.Good evening. on the BBC News Channel,

:00:13. > :00:14.I'm Edward Sault with the news in the south.

:00:15. > :00:17.The mother of a teenager whose body was recovered from the sea off

:00:18. > :00:20.Dorset earlier this year is now working with other young

:00:21. > :00:23.people to encourage them to stay safe on nights out.

:00:24. > :00:26.Louis Harris was 18 when he went missing in Weymouth in the early

:00:27. > :00:32.Here's our Dorset reporter Simon Clemison.

:00:33. > :00:35.Louis Harris was a teenager out for a night in a seaside resort,

:00:36. > :00:41.The search for him went on for weeks.

:00:42. > :00:44.Police dived by the same quayside that people come to enjoy.

:00:45. > :00:48.For a while, Weymouth was a different town.

:00:49. > :00:50.He was last seen here in the early hours.

:00:51. > :00:53.He had been at university and had come back to celebrate

:00:54. > :00:58.Eventually his body was pulled from the scene nearby.

:00:59. > :01:02.Events leading up to his death are still not clear -

:01:03. > :01:06.But his mother has started working with pupils at his old school,

:01:07. > :01:11.She's hoping to talk to many more young people so that when they're

:01:12. > :01:13.old enough to go out drinking, or even before, they take steps

:01:14. > :01:16.to protect themselves, like charging up their mobile phones

:01:17. > :01:17.and not getting separated from each other.

:01:18. > :01:20.We need to be realistic and practical, and not tell people,

:01:21. > :01:23.you know, not to drink, and accept that they will do,

:01:24. > :01:26.You know, so that they can make choices and understand

:01:27. > :01:36.I kind of wing it and hope for the best.

:01:37. > :01:37.What, with your phone-charging? Yeah.

:01:38. > :01:44.Yeah, you just kind of don't really pay much attention

:01:45. > :01:46.to it because you are so, like, involved in

:01:47. > :01:55.Most drink things for teenagers, it seems quite patronising.

:01:56. > :01:57.It's like, "Don't drink, you're not old enough."

:01:58. > :02:01.Whereas this one treats you like you're an adult, which I liked.

:02:02. > :02:04.This could have been the most important lesson

:02:05. > :02:10.Simon Clemison, BBC South Today, Dorchester.

:02:11. > :02:13.A vigil has been held in Reading this afternoon to show solidarity

:02:14. > :02:15.with the thousands of people trapped in the besieged city

:02:16. > :02:19.It comes as efforts are made to resume the evacuation

:02:20. > :02:22.of civilians from the rebel-held area of the city.

:02:23. > :02:24.Those supporting the Reading event say it's important people

:02:25. > :02:27.here in the UK know what's going on in Aleppo

:02:28. > :02:33.We will be rehousing Syrian children and refugees in the town,

:02:34. > :02:36.and I think it's important for them to realise that

:02:37. > :02:40.Despite what some of the press may say, or the comments you see

:02:41. > :02:42.on Facebook or Twitter, Reading is a welcoming town,

:02:43. > :02:46.and Reading's richness is simply because of its cultural diversity,

:02:47. > :02:49.and so I would like to stand with the people who are supporting

:02:50. > :02:52.Syria and show them that I care because I really do.

:02:53. > :02:54.There'll be more disruption on Southern Rail services tomorrow,

:02:55. > :02:56.as train conductors begin a 48-hour walk-out.

:02:57. > :03:00.The RMT union is in dispute with the rail operator over

:03:01. > :03:03.plans to make drivers - rather than guards -

:03:04. > :03:07.Last week there were no Southern services at all for three days,

:03:08. > :03:12.when the drivers' union Aslef also went on strike.

:03:13. > :03:14.A swimming pool in Berkshire, which has been in use

:03:15. > :03:16.for more than a century, has closed for good today.

:03:17. > :03:18.Reading Borough Council says it can't afford to keep

:03:19. > :03:24.It's told campaigners the pool will be replaced by a new facility

:03:25. > :03:29.But it means the Reading Dolphin Swimming Club will now be wound up

:03:30. > :03:32.after holding its last session at the pool today.

:03:33. > :03:36.All its members have a disability or visual impairment.

:03:37. > :03:39.We will all be separating and we won't be meeting here any

:03:40. > :03:41.more on Sunday mornings, as we have done

:03:42. > :03:46.So it was always a very friendly kind of club.

:03:47. > :03:49.I am just so sad, because I think there are so many people around

:03:50. > :03:52.here and it is in such a good area for people to walk.

:03:53. > :04:01.The buses stop outside and, yeah, it's just so sad.

:04:02. > :04:04.Onto football, and if you don't want to know the result

:04:05. > :04:11.of the Bournemouth-Southampton game, you know what to do.

:04:12. > :04:15.Nathan Ake's acrobatic header put the Cherries

:04:16. > :04:17.in front after six minutes, before Ryan Bertrand

:04:18. > :04:21.After the break, a tap-in from Jay Rodriguez gave Saints the lead.

:04:22. > :04:23.And a superb 20-yard finish from Rodriguez

:04:24. > :04:27.Southampton move up to seventh in the Premier League,

:04:28. > :04:31.Last night, Brighton closed the gap on Championship leaders

:04:32. > :04:33.Newcastle to one point, after coming from behind

:04:34. > :04:39.The home side took the lead before Anthony Knockaert volleyed home

:04:40. > :04:42.to make it 1-1 with eight minutes to go.

:04:43. > :04:44.Then, deep into stoppage time, Glenn Murray's header completed

:04:45. > :04:53.Now let's take a look at the weather.

:04:54. > :04:58.We've have had some stubborn mist and fog in places for today,

:04:59. > :05:00.and it is quickly re-thickening this evening.

:05:01. > :05:03.The Met Office has issued a fog warning and some of this could be

:05:04. > :05:06.quite dense as we had through the night tonight,

:05:07. > :05:10.Mostly that will keep us frost-free, but you could see a little bit

:05:11. > :05:14.These are typical low temperatures, though, five or six Celsius.

:05:15. > :05:17.One or two showers but mostly dry through the night tonight.

:05:18. > :05:19.But a murky old start to things tomorrow morning,

:05:20. > :05:23.Gradually that will lift but it will be quite

:05:24. > :05:26.Some bright spells, though, I think are a possibility,

:05:27. > :05:30.And temperatures tending to struggle a bit, at seven or eight Celsius.

:05:31. > :05:32.And we have got the risk of some patchy outbreaks

:05:33. > :05:34.of rain moving in through the evening.

:05:35. > :05:37.Now, as we head into Tuesday, a murky start, again with a little

:05:38. > :05:40.bit of rain and drizzle a possibility, and then it does tend

:05:41. > :05:43.to turn more unsettled, with spells of rain as we head towards midweek.

:05:44. > :05:55.That fog is also having an impact at airports.

:05:56. > :06:15.Hello. Exactly a week to Christmas but it did not feel that way in

:06:16. > :06:20.north-east Scotland today with temperatures as high as 13 Celsius

:06:21. > :06:26.in Aberdeenshire. This is one Weather Watcher's view. It is colder

:06:27. > :06:29.and Misty and murky in South Wales. You could see some dense fog patches

:06:30. > :06:30.developing
