announcements and a lot of tnhappy, tired families. | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
I think it is a shame reallx, I think it sets a bad example | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
It is one of our busiest airports and it's | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
It should be quite a simple thing to do. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Gatwick Airport says the problems have been caused by a short`ge of | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
staff at a ground handling company Swissport who are contracted | :01:07. | :01:09. | |

here, that they should deliver bags to passengers within 55 minttes | :01:17. | :01:20. | |

Minister, says the government wants to encourage the use of sol`r panels | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
But some farmers here say, large`scale solar farms are | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
This 125 acre solar park on the Romney Marsh is alre`dy | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
generating enough electricity to power a small town. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |

It has a massive impact on our landscape, | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
This is all Grade II agricultural land. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
We want solar but we want it on roofs. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
We don't want it on good agricultural land. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
There has been a surge in applications so we have had to | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
put a stop to the subsidy and we have issued tougher planning | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
guidance, making sure that they do not use good agricultural l`nd. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |

had showers around. Heavier ones during the morning. Starting to lose | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
their intensity as they moved south. Mainly affecting parts of eastern | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
England. As we keep a shower in the forecast, most places should be dry. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Some sunshine around. Feeling warmer. Through the night, it will | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
become fairly chilly with broken cloud giving clearer skies. Towns | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
and cities, temperatures up by dawn. Still in double figures. But in the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
countryside, it will be cooler than that. A chilly start to tomorrow | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
morning but bright, with sunshine around. We will pick up some areas | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
where there is slightly more cloud. Throughout the afternoon, it looks | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
like northern and eastern Scotland will become. The risk of some | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
showers. Towards the central lowlands, with brighter skies, | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
