:00:13. > :00:14.Passengers arriving at Gatwick Airport have faced long
:00:15. > :00:16.delays reclaiming their baggage and some have been held up waiting

:00:24. > :00:37.This man says he had to wait more than two hours for his bad last
:00:38. > :00:42.night after his flight arrived at Gatwick. I have used all London
:00:43. > :00:48.airports and I must say Mikd Gatwick experience last night is ond of the
:00:49. > :00:55.worst I have had. Passenger said there were few staff to help, barely
:00:56. > :01:02.audible tannoy announcements and a lot of unhappy families. It is a
:01:03. > :01:07.shame. It sets a bad exampld for people coming into the UK. Ht is a
:01:08. > :01:12.shame we can't cope with luggage. It should be simple to do. Gatwick
:01:13. > :01:19.Airport said the problems h`ve been caused by a shortage of staff at the
:01:20. > :01:22.company contracted by the ahrport. It is part of their operating
:01:23. > :01:32.licence that they should deliver bags to passengers within 54 minutes
:01:33. > :01:45.of an aircraft's arrival. They say the art ongoing discussions with the
:01:46. > :01:52.company. Gatwick Airport apologised for the delay is, saying th`t the

:02:03. > :02:04.their responsibilities at home, where they look after chronhcally
:02:05. > :02:13.It was a little frightening, but in the end, great fun!
:02:14. > :02:17.Canoeing just one of the ch`llenges children enjoyed this weekend at
:02:18. > :02:22.Most don't have the time or opportunity to take part
:02:23. > :02:25.in activities like this as they're needed at home to care
:02:26. > :02:43.It was great to get away from the caring at home. I bottle thhngs up I
:02:44. > :02:50.did not tell my teachers. When you bottle things up when you are a
:02:51. > :02:52.young carer, you could lose out on good grades.
:02:53. > :02:55.The festival's organised by the Children's Society, which
:02:56. > :02:57.trains and supports those who come into contact with young cardrs.

:03:18. > :03:19.New laws should give young carers a guarantee of more support,

:03:26. > :03:33.They need to understand that their needs are different from thd normal
:03:34. > :03:36.run`of`the`mill child, and then to act on that understanding.
:03:37. > :03:38.That's what these children will hope for
:03:39. > :03:49.when their caring begins ag`in after this brief and much needed break.
:03:50. > :03:56.Time now for the weather. It has been a decent day across
:03:57. > :04:01.southern parts of the UK with most about seeing blue skies and sunny
