Two young women have died after the car they were in crashed into a wall.
The women were passengers in the vehicle, which crashed in Lyndhurst in the New Forest area around midnight.
They were both aged 19, Hampshire Police said.
A 21-year-old man who was driving the car and another female passenger, 19, are being treated in hospital but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
A spokesman for Hampshire Police said: "A member of the public contacted Hampshire Constabulary at midnight this morning, when a car collided with a wall on Gosport Lane.
"Two of the passengers were pronounced dead at the scene."
The road was closed overnight and re-opened this morning.
Hundreds of British soldiers are to be sent to Iraq to help the fight against Islamic State, Sky News understands.
They will make up a training mission to assist the Iraqi Army and Kurdish Peshmerga.
The soldiers - expected to number a few hundred - will go to the region "within weeks" senior military sources have said.
The National Security Council is expected to rubber-stamp the mission when it meets on Tuesday.
Although small groups of British troops have conducted similar missions over the past few months, this will be much greater in size and on a more permanent basis.

A team of military advisors recently went to the country to scope out options.
It's believed the mission will be largely split between the capital Baghdad and Irbil in the Kurdish controlled north.
It hasn't been confirmed which regiments the troops will be drawn from.
The UK government has repeatedly insisted that any such training mission would not constitute 'boots-on-the-ground' although British Special Forces are operating in the region.
In October a dozen soldiers from The Yorkshire Regiment were dispatched to Irbil to train the Kurds to use heavy machine guns.

An advisory team has also been embedded in the Iraqi military HQ, working alongside the Americans.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman wouldn't confirm the specifics of the latest mission but did say: "The Defence Secretary announced the intention to provide further training to the Iraqi military in early November.
"No decisions on troop numbers, units or locations have been made, so this is purely speculation at this stage."
The British contribution will fit into a wider mission involving a number of nations.
Earlier this week, the most senior US Commander Lt Gen James Terry revealed that the coalition training mission would involve around 1,500 soldiers.

US special operations troops have already set up a training base at the Ain al-Asad air base in Anbar Province.
Germany recently pledged around 100 soldiers to help train the Peshmerga in northern Iraq. That mission, if approved, will begin early next year.
NATO has also said it would explore options if the Iraqi government came forward with an official request.
The Alliance said that any training mission wouldn't necessarily be based in Iraq. Neighbouring Jordan has been used for similar projects.
A man thought to have travelled to the UK clinging to the bottom of a lorry has died after falling beneath the vehicle's wheels on the M25.
The man, from Sudan, is believed to have climbed underneath the lorry in the French port of Calais.
Police are seeking witnesses to the incident, described as a 'fatal fail-to-stop traffic collision', that took place at 7pm on Friday between junctions 24 and 25 of the M25 in Hertfordshire.
Scotland Yard said two men from Sudan are believed to have got underneath a foreign HGV in Calais at around 11am and wedged themselves into place.
The vehicle they were concealed beneath entered the Eurotunnel and arrived in England about 40 minutes later and began travelling towards London.
At approximately 7pm, police said, the two men, still clinging to the underside of the HGV, decided to leave the lorry after becoming extremely cold.

While the HGV was stationary in lane one of the motorway, one of the men worked himself free and clambered down the nearby grass verge.
Police said the second man attempted to do the same, but the lorry began to move off and he is believed to have fallen beneath its rear wheels suffering fatal injuries.
Another driver stopped his vehicle and pulled the injured man to the edge of the carriageway. He then drove off.
A second member of the public stopped his vehicle and offered assistance.
London's Air Ambulance attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police later traced the lorry driver, who they believe was unaware of the incident and so did not stop at the scene.
A spokeswoman for the Met Police said: "No arrests have been made and he is helping officers with their inquiries."
Traffic on the M25 and surrounding routes suffered major delays while the road was closed to deal with the incident.
Officers are appealing to anyone who saw what happened to come forward.
Anyone with information should contact the Roads and Transport Policing Command witness line on 0208 991 9555 or dial 101 and ask for Alperton Traffic Garage.
The computer meltdown that hit UK airports yesterday was sparked by an unprecedented systems failure, it has been disclosed.
Air traffic control company Nats has offered its first detailed explanation of the problem at its national centre in Swanwick, Hampshire.
More than 300 flights were cancelled or delayed after the computer failure.
A statement from Nats said: "Swanwick controller workstations provide a number of tools and services to the controller to enable them to safely control a high volume of air traffic.
"In normal operations the number of workstations in use versus in standby fluctuates with the demands of the traffic being controlled.
Video:Flights Delayed In London Airspace
"In this instance a transition between the two states caused a failure in the system which has not been seen before.
"The failure meant that the controllers were unable to access all of the data regarding individual flight plans which significantly increases their workload.
"Our priority is to maintain a safe operation for the flying public; consequently when the failure occurred we immediately took steps to reduce the traffic into and out of the UK network.
"The controllers had a full radar picture and full communications with all aircraft at all times during the incident and at no time was safety compromised in any way."
Video:November: How Busy Is UK Airspace?
Nats said it understood the problem was connected to a number of workstations "in a certain state" combined with the number of "air space sectors" open.
Officials restricted air space in response to the issue, leaving flights at some airports grounded yesterday.
Nats declared that its systems were back to full operational capacity last night but a knock-on effect has been seen at airports.
By Saturday morning, timetables were returning to normal, although Heathrow said 38 flights had been cancelled before 9.30am and Gatwick Airport was cancelling a handful of flights.
Video:Air Traffic Problem Delays Flights
Friday's problems came just over a year after hundreds of flights were affected when problems arose with a telephone system at Nats in early December 2013.
There were reports passengers on some flights were unable to collect their luggage and were told that it would be sent on to them by courier.
Other airports where travellers suffered delays on Friday included Manchester, Birmingham, Stansted and Luton, but airports as far north as Aberdeen and Edinburgh were affected.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the disruption was unacceptable. He has been summoned before the Commons' Transport Select Committee on Monday to answer questions about the failure.
Jim Murphy MP is the new leader of the Scottish Labour Party, comfortably beating Holyrood health spokesman Neil Findlay and former Scottish Executive minister Sarah Boyack.
The East Renfrewshire MP and former Secretary Of State for Scotland had been favourite to win the race triggered by the resignation of previous leader Johann Lamont.
After the announcement, Mr Murphy, who received 55.77% of the vote, said: "Today is the fulfilment of a dream for me."
Speaking to Labour party members at the Glasgow Emirates Arena, he joked that he had always dreamed of being appointed captain of a team in the east end of Glasgow.
He said becoming leader was a "remarkable honour".
Video:Jim Murphy After Being Elected
"Scotland is changing and so too must Scottish Labour. I'm ambitious for our party because I'm ambitious for our country."
Mr Murphy told Sky News' Anna Jones: "This is fresh start for the Scottish Labour Party. We are going to do things differently. It's a new beginning. We are going to identify new policies and a new approach.
"I want us to use our passion and ingenuity to change our country. I know we can do it if we work together."
He said he would be the one making the decisions for Scottish Labour, not Westminster.
"I am big enough and ugly enough not to be pushed around by anyone. I'll make the decisions, we'll call the shots here in Scotland.
"The Scottish Labour Party is back in business."
Polls indicate that Labour could be routed in Scotland at May's General Election, as support for the SNP rises, but Mr Murphy said he was determined to change that.

Two British men who joined Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State in Syria have told how they were treated as terrorism suspects on their return to the UK.
Former soldiers Jamie Read, 24, and James Hughes, 26, say they were taken to separate interview rooms at Heathrow Airport and questioned about their trip for six hours.
Anti-terrorism officers took their laptops and equipment and went through their phones, they said.
Mr Read told The Sun: "I was raging. They kept asking why we went, who we were with and were we being paid? We weren't, of course."
The pair went to Syria and fought alongside Kurdish forces in Kobani after IS filmed the brutal killing of British and American aid workers.
Video:Syria Fighter's Family 'Proud'
They came home amid fears their families could be targeted by jihadist sympathisers.
Mr Hughes' family have previously spoken out in support of his decision to join the fight against the militants.
His sister Lara told Sky News: "Obviously, I am very worried about him going out in such a dangerous country.
"But we are all very proud of him.
Video:Stuart Ramsay With 'Rag Tag' Army
"He's just doing it to help others. That's very much in his nature."
His father David hit back at claims his son was a "traitor" and criticised proposed legislation that could leave those who go to fight in Syria effectively stateless.
He said: "I believe James is the epitome of a true blue Brit in the support he is giving in Syria and trying to give the Kurds a fair chance.
"We should all be proud of the choices and actions of these guys and all the armchair critics in the media and vote-grabbing pundits in government would do well to reconsider the facts before branding people as traitors or criminals, especially when they have clearly proven themselves already as heroes."
Lightning strikes have left some 27,000 homes without power for a second time in two days as Britian continues to be battered by the so-called "weather bomb".
Yellow "be prepared" alerts are in place for Scotland's western coast, the Highlands and Islands, Orkney, Shetland and Northern Ireland.
Alerts also remain in place for England's East, South East, North East, North West, northern Wales and other areas.
Just after 9am a lightning strike near Fort Augustus in the Scottish Highlands resulted in a loss of supply to Skye and the Western Isles.
Many of those affected suffered power outages on Wednesday as bad weather swept the region.
Video:Predicting Weather 'Bombs'
A spokesman for Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution said: "We'd like to apologise to customers for the loss of supply this morning.
"We appreciate that many of these customers also lost supply yesterday and we'd like to assure them that we are doing everything we can to get them back on as quickly as possible."
Forecasters predicted the strong winds and wild weather would ease in the late morning.
But southerly areas of the UK could be hit by stormy conditions rolling in from the Atlantic tonight.
A deep low pressure system known colloquially as a "weather bomb" caused extreme weather conditions for parts of Britain on Wednesday.
Video:Weather Bombed - Again
Waves of 52ft were recorded in coastal regions and thousands of homes left without power.
As well as disruption to energy supplies, the severe storm caused ferry and train cancellations and school closures in the North.
Wind speeds of 144mph were recorded on St Kilda, an uninhabited archipelago 41 miles west of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides.
According to the Met Office, the highest recorded wind speed at low level sites was 81mph on Tiree.
Off the coast of Orkney, a rescue operation was launched to help a British-registered fishing vessel which issued a Mayday call after getting into difficulties.

The 33ft trawler, with 16 Spanish crew, had one of its bridge windows smashed and some equipment damaged in the stormy conditions.
The O'Genita was escorted to Westray in Orkney by the Stromness lifeboat.
Twenty vehicles also had to be freed after becoming stuck in icy conditions on Cairn O' Mount, a high mountain pass, in Aberdeenshire.

The father of a British jihadi jailed for nearly 13 years after travelling to Syria says parents with children who do the same will be "too scared to tell police".
Mohammed Nahin Ahmed's father spoke to Sky News exclusively on the condition that neither his name nor face were shown.
His son was sentenced alongside his friend Yusuf Sarwar at Woolwich Crown Court last week for terrorism offences.
Childhood friends Sarwar and Ahmed, both 22, were given 12 years eight months in prison each, plus another five years on licence.
Ahmed's father says his family co-operated with the police and helped persuade the pair to return home to Handsworth in Birmingham.
Video:Jihadi Dad's Regrets Over Informing
"We told the police, we went to them for help but we didn't get any. We surrendered them for justice but the police didn't help at all.
"If anyone's children go to Syria now, no one will tell the police because they will be too scared to tell them this.
"My son lives in jail so what did I gain from going to the police? People go to the police for justice and help. No, I wouldn't go again."
Ahmed and Sarwar admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorism acts in July.
They became the first Britons to be convicted in the UK of Syria-related terrorism offences.
Upon sentencing the judge said it made no difference that their offences were abroad and described them as "fundamentalists committed to violent extremism".
Ahmed's father, however, says his son made a mistake and returned to the UK because he feared for his life.
"No, he is normal. His life was normal. He prayed just the way we do. I think maybe it was the internet that brought those kinds of thoughts to him, the internet brainwashes people these days.

Ed Miliband has unveiled a new policy to balance Britain's books in an attempt to repair the damage to his credibility after he failed to mention the deficit in his party conference speech.
In a speech on tackling the deficit, he pledged that a Labour government would cut spending year-on-year in all Whitehall departments apart from health and international development until the deficit has been dealt with.
He promised that his party will make no manifesto commitments for next year's general election which would require additional borrowing.
He said every policy will be "costed, credible and funded".
The move, coming just a week after George Osborne's Autumn Statement, is intended as a fightback after Mr Miliband's conference blunder and opinion polls showing Labour trailing the Conservatives on the economy.
Video:Labour's Economic Pledge
A poll by ComRes last week suggested 43% of people think they would be better off under David Cameron and Mr Osborne, while only 32% believe they would do better under Mr Miliband and Ed Balls.
Mr Miliband accused the Conservatives of planning to return spending on public services to a share last seen in the 1930s, a time before there was a National Health Service and when young people left school at 14.
"And they have finally been exposed by the Autumn Statement for what they really are: not modern compassionate Conservatives at all - but extreme and ideological, committed to a dramatic shrinking of the state and public services, no matter what the consequences," he said.
Unveiling Labour's alternative, Mr Miliband said Britain must deal with the deficit to create the strong economic foundation needed to build prosperity for working people, attract investment and fund public services.
"There is no path to growth and prosperity for working people which does not tackle the deficit.
Video:Miliband: 'There Was A Bit ...'
"What we need is a balanced approach which deals with the deficit - but does so sensibly," he said.
Mr Miliband added: "This is an essential test of credibility.
"There is huge uncertainty about the deficit because of economic circumstances and on the basis of recent experience.
"That makes it all the more important that parties do not spray around unfunded commitments they cannot keep.
In a letter to shadow cabinet colleagues, shadow chancellor Ed Balls said: "We will set out for our manifesto other priority areas of spending which will be protected.
Video:Labour Still For 'Working People'
"In the meantime you should be planning on the basis that your departmental budgets will be cut not only in 2015/16, but each year until we have achieved our promise to balance the books."
In response the Tories hit back, with Business Minister Matthew Hancock claiming: "Labour's policy is to run deficits forever - more borrowing that would add to the national debt every single year.
"That would mean more debt than hardworking taxpayers or our children could ever hope to repay.
"This risk to the economic recovery is exactly why Ed Miliband simply isn't up to the job."
Two girls, aged 13 and 14, have been charged with the murder of a woman in Hartlepool.
Angela Wrightson, 39, was found dead at her home in Stephen Street on Tuesday morning
She died from blood loss after suffering substantial injuries, a post-mortem examination established.
The two teenagers appeared before magistrates in Hartlepool on Thursday.
The younger defendant appeared before Teesside Youth Court in Middlesbrough watched by her parents from the back of the court.
Her mother cried as she was brought into court in handcuffs, which were removed for the short hearing.
District Judge Martin Walker told the girl she would be held in secure accommodation.
Separately, the 14-year-old was escorted into the warm courtroom in tears and she wiped her eyes with a tissue. The judge said she would also be held in secure accommodation.
Her father was in court for the hearing.
Both girls confirmed their names, addresses and dates of birth but did not say anything else.
No pleas were entered on their behalf and no details about the alleged offence were read out.
Both girls will appear before Teesside Crown Court later.

The family of a British builder missing after a stag weekend in Prague have confirmed his body has been found in the city's Vltava River.
Czech police were waiting to carry out an autopsy on the body of Karl Law, 35, from Fareham, Hampshire.
The body was washed up on the shore beneath a city centre bridge on Sunday afternoon, three weeks after Mr Law vanished.
His mother Sue, brother Craig and other family and friends were comforting each other at their rented apartment from where they have been running an appeal campaign since he disappeared.
Mr Law was last seen near Maxim's Bar in the city
A British embassy spokeswoman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national, who was reported missing in Prague, and are in touch with the local authorities.
"We are in close contact with the family and are providing consular assistance at this difficult time."
Mr Law became separated from his brother and friends on a pub crawl to celebrate a friend's forthcoming wedding.
The last person to see Karl was his cousin Steve Stock, wandering near Maxim's bar close to the centre of Prague's lively old town.
The family had been alerted by police after the discovery of the body, which was too decomposed to be readily identified.
It is believed the body had only underpants and there was no sign of the clothes Mr Law had been wearing when he vanished.
The absence of clothes might suggest Mr Law was the victim of a crime.
A small group of searchers, led by Mr Law's brother Craig, had put up thousands of posters and appealed for help all over the city.
Moments after Shrien Dewani was ruled not guilty of murder, his wife Anni's family told Sky News: "The justice system has failed us."
Ms Dewani's sister Ami Denborg was in tears as she spoke to Sky News Special Correspondent Alex Crawford outside the court in Cape Town.
Asked if the South African authorities had let his family down, her heartbroken father Vinod Hindocha shouted: "Yes, yes, yes."
Ms Denborg had struggled to contain her emotions as she read a family statement outside the courtroom.
Shrien Dewani appeared to breathe a sigh of relief after the verdict
She said: "We came here looking for the truth and all we got was more questions. We waited patiently for four years to hear what really happened to our dearest little sister.
"All we wanted to hear was the events ... and that has kept us as a family going. This right has been taken away from us.
Video:Shrien Dewani's Family 'Very Happy'
"We feel really, really sad because we never heard the full story from Shrien. We heard he led a double life and Anni knew nothing about it."
Her brother Anish collapsed in tears as she said: "The knowledge of not knowing is going to haunt us for the rest of our lives.
"We had four years of sleepless nights and we will we ever be able to sleep."
Anni's uncle Ashok Hindocha also released a statement, saying: "We do not feel we have been presented with the whole story and the decision to end the trial without the defendant offering a defence means we, and the good people of South Africa, the UK and various parts of the world who have followed the case, will always live without ever knowing the complete events that led up to Anni's death.
Video:Anger Outside Court After Verdict
"We would have preferred that Shrien Dewani went into the witness box and told in his words what happened after he was accused of her murder.
"We know now that he was having gay sex with male prostitutes and declared himself bisexual on the first day of his trial."
He said Ms Dewani would never have agreed to the marriage if she had known about her husband's "secret sex life" and confirmed the family would speak to lawyers about bringing a civil case against Mr Dewani in the UK.
Mr Hindocha added: "As far as Anni's grief-stricken parents are concerned, they would not wish the torture they have endured onto any other mother of father.
Video:Dewani Extradition Defended
"They will live forever with the warm and magical memories of Anni, but these memories will always be tinged with the pain of the fact that closure has not been afforded them."
Mr Dewani's family hugged and cried tears of joy after the verdict was announced.
A relative who spoke through the intercom at the family's home in Bristol told Sky News: "We are very happy."
Nathi Mncube, a spokesman for South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority, said he believed the authorities were right to pursue the case, despite anger at the amount of taxpayers' money spent to bring Mr Dewani before the court.
Video:Judge Dismisses Dewani Charge
He said: "Obviously, we are very disappointed with the outcome today. When we started with the trial this is not what we set out to achieve.
"We believed there was evidence, otherwise we would not have taken the case to court."
Emotions were also running high on the steps of the courthouse, where a lobby group chanted: "Justice for Anni."
Home borrowers could handle rate rises, according to the Bank of England.
Gradual increases would not have "unusually large effects" on household spending, it said.
The bank does warn a rate rise to 2.5% would see the number of families struggling to pay their mortgages rise to 660,000 if wages stay the same.
But the Governor, Mark Carney, has repeatedly stated that when rate rises come they will be gradual and over time.
The Bank of England said: "Overall, the evidence does not suggest gradual increases in interest rates from their current historically low levels would have unusually large effects on household spending."
Yet in research, the Resolution Foundation think-tank finds that 2.2 million working households in Britain with below-median incomes are spending a third or more of their disposable income on housing, leaving an average of just £135 left over each week for other necessities.
And MPs have warned that some borrowers will have overstretched themselves when taking advantage of the interest rate, which has been at a historic low of 0.5% since 2009.
Treasury select committee chairman Andrew Tyrie said: "Interest rates have been so low for so long now that some might conclude this is the new normal. They shouldn't."
Older people are in line to benefit from any increase as they are more likely to be savers.
House of Commons bosses will investigate a whistleblower who filmed an MP playing Candy Crush on his iPad during a key meeting about pensions – but not the MP himself.
Nigel Mills was secretly filmed playing the addictive puzzle game during a Work and Pensions Committee session.
He has tweeted to apologise for his behaviour.
"I guarantee it will not happen again. It is a fantastic privilege to represent Amber Valley, and I hope constituents will continue to support my campaigns such as lower taxes for hard-working people," he wrote.
The House of Commons authorities have launched an investigation into how the footage was obtained.
Mr Mills uses his iPad during the meeting
A spokesman told Sky News: "This was a breach of the filming rules for House of Commons Committee Rooms, and will be investigated by the Serjeant at Arms."
The decision to investigate the witness who made the film rather than the MP sparked some criticism on social media.
Former Conservative MP Louise Mensch tweeted "that's bad" while Labour's John Prescott said Mr Mills' actions were "unacceptable".
The Sun quoted a source at the meeting who claimed Nigel Mills played the game for around two-and-a-half hours on an iPad allegedly funded by the taxpayer.
Mr Mills said he had a "game or two"
Mr Mills told The Sun: "It was a long meeting on pension reforms, which is an important issue that I take very seriously.
"There was a bit of the meeting that I wasn't focusing on and I probably had a game or two.
"I shouldn't do it but if you check the meeting I would say I was fully engaged in asking questions that I thought were particularly important in how we get the pensions issue right. I shall try not to do it in the future."
Prime Minister David Cameron said Mr Mills would be "embarrassed" by what had happened.
Speaking on a visit to Harris City Academy in Crystal Palace, south London, Mr Cameron said: "I haven't spoken to Nigel about it. I know he is a very hard-working MP, I know him well, he fights very hard in his constituency for people in Derbyshire, he works very hard in Parliament.
"I'm sure he will be embarrassed by what he saw in the papers today and he will work even harder in the future."
The committee met last Monday and was discussing pensions and the insurance industry ahead of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement announcement.

There have been angry scenes outside court after a judge threw out the case against Shrien Dewani, who was accused of plotting to murder his wife Anni on their honeymoon.
Judge Jeanette Traverso said prosecution arguments had "fallen far below" the level needed to secure a conviction, paving the way for the British businessman's acquittal.
Mr Dewani, of Westbury-on-Trym near Bristol, denied arranging the murder, and said his 28-year-old bride, whose maiden name was Hindocha, was killed during a botched carjacking in Cape Town in November 2010.
Anni's sister, Ami Denborg, told Sky's Alex Crawford: "The justice system has failed us."
In a statement outside court, the Hindocha family said: "The knowledge of not knowing is going to haunt us for the rest of our lives."

They later added that Anni would not have married Mr Dewani "if she had known about his secret sex life".
Mr Dewani, who is now free to return to the UK, breathed a large sigh of relief as the judge cleared him.
Members of the 34-year-old's family wept and embraced as he quickly left the dock.
Anni's family bowed their heads as shouting was heard from the public gallery.
Video:Dewani Extradition Defended
The family say they will review the case with their lawyers to see if they can file a lawsuit against Mr Dewani in the UK.
Sky News understands Mr Dewani will return to the UK on Tuesday.
The state's key witness, cab driver Zola Tongo, said Mr Dewani paid him to hire two men to carry out the murder.
The prosecution claimed Mr Dewani, who is bisexual, wanted to get out of the relationship and the men carried out the killing for 15,000 rand (£830).
Video:Anger Outside Court After Verdict
Tongo, Mziwamadoda Qwabe and gunman Xolile Mngeni were convicted for their part in Anni's death.
Qwabe is currently serving a 25-year sentence.
Mngeni was serving life for firing the shot that killed Mrs Dewani, but died from a brain tumour in October.
Giving her ruling on the application to dismiss the case, Judge Traverso said the evidence from the men was "so improbable, with so many mistakes, lies and inconsistencies you cannot see where the lies ended and the truth begins".
Video:Shrien Dewani's Family 'Very Happy'
She added that the only reason not to grant the application would be in the hope that Mr Dewani would implicate himself during his testimony.
However, to do so would be a "manifest misdirection", Judge Traverso said.
South African National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Nathi Ncude denied the case had collapsed because of "shoddy" police work.
He said: "The judgment centres around evidence that was given by three people. Nothing has been said about the police, nothing was said about how the prosecution could have done better.
Video:Hiring A Hitman In South Africa
"The fact of the matter is that we were relying on people who were themselves involved and implicated in the case."
The ruling ends a four-year wait for Mr Dewani and his family to clear his name, which has included spells in mental health units, allegations about his private life and an extradition battle.
Young adult carers on average miss 48 days of school and are more likely to be bullied than other students.
They are also more likely to drop out of college or university, while those in employment miss work an average of 17 days a year.
Those are the main findings of a survey by the Carers Trust charity, which spoke to 295 carers aged 16-24.
Lauren Cooper sometimes cares for her young cousin
It estimates there are around 375,000 young adults in the UK who step in when their families with care needs are left without adequate support.
Moira Fraser, interim Chief Executive of the Carers Trust said: "This research paints a gloomy picture.
Video:Mobile App To Help Carers
"It shows young adult carers are experiencing difficulties in their education, employment prospects, health and socialisation.
"They are not being identified and supported so they face multiple barriers that will have a significant and lasting impact on their future."
The survey also found young adult carers have higher rates of poor mental and physical health and rarely get the assessments they are entitled to.
Lauren Cooper, aged 13, cares for her grandparents, uncle and sometimes her disabled cousin.
She told Sky News: "Sometimes I can sit down and fall asleep, it is that busy and hectic."
As part of its Time To Be Heard campaign, Carers Trust is calling on the Government to make sure the implementation of the Care Act 2014 and Children and Families Act 2014 is adequately funded and monitored.
It says this would be "an important step towards ensuring that young adult carers can put aside heavy caring responsibilities and instead put their energy into education, training and employment."
Among its other demands is that the Government includes young adult carers in additional financial support programmes, such as Pupil Premium and the 16-19 Bursary Fund.
Another survey has found that grandparents and other family members raising relatives' children face stigma and discrimination at the school gate.
Families, known as kinship carers, told charity Grandparents Plus they felt that they were treated differently by other parents, mistreated by social workers and teachers and the children they raised were bullied or excluded by others.
The charity is calling on the Government to support the UK's estimated 200,000 kinship carers by guaranteeing they receive support, offering them the same rights as those who adopt and ensuring the welfare system does not "penalise" them.
The Archbishop of Canterbury says he was left more shocked at the plight of poor families in the UK being forced to rely on food banks than the suffering in African refugee camps.
Hunger "stalks large parts of the country" while the scale of waste was "astonishing", said the Most Rev Justin Welby.
He made his comments ahead of the publication on Monday of a parliamentary report he has backed that sets out a series of proposals aimed at preventing people going hungry, and urges swift action by the Government and food industry.
The sharp increase in food banks has led to fierce political rows
In an article in The Mail on Sunday Archbishop Welby said, although less "serious", the situation of a family having to turn to food bank in the UK had shocked him more than terrible suffering in Africa because it was so unexpected.
Archbishop Welby wrote about his visit to a refugee camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the scene that he encountered.

"It was deeply shocking but, tragically, expected," he wrote.
"A few weeks later in England, I was talking to some people - a mum, dad and one child - in a food bank.
"They were ashamed to be there. The dad talked miserably.
"He said they had each been skipping a day's meals once a week in order to have more for the child, but then they needed new tyres for the car so they could get to work at night, and just could not make ends meet.
"So they had to come to a food bank. They were treated with respect, love even, by the volunteers from local churches. But they were hungry, and ashamed to be hungry.

"I found their plight more shocking. It was less serious, but it was here."
The sharp increase in the number of food banks across the country in recent years has proved politically divisive.
Earlier this year, ministers were accused of "taking food from the mouths of children" after blocking millions of pounds of European funding agreed for British food banks.
Cash to help people suffering extreme poverty across the EU was backed in a vote at the European Parliament but the Government said food aid was better decided nationally rather than by Brussels.
Archbishop Welby has called for changes to allow food companies to pass on goods they could no longer sell.

Under the current system it costs retailers to give away surplus food to the hungry.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "As a country we have enough food to go around, and we agree that it is wrong that anyone should go hungry at the same time as surplus food is going to waste.
"There is a moral argument as well as a sustainability one to ensure we make the best use of resources.
"While this report outlines important areas for consideration, we should remember that this country has been through the deepest recession in living memory, and sticking to this Government's long-term economic plan is the best way to improve living standards."
Three men have been arrested by anti-terror officers on suspicion of supplying forged documents, Scotland Yard has said.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command made the arrests during searches at addresses in London and the East Midlands.
The men, aged 28, 33 and 30, remain in custody at a police station in central London.
The latest arrests follow dawn raids in London on Thursday, in which a 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism and a 40-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to possess and supply fraudulent documents.
A further two men, aged 33 and 43, were arrested in Dover on Sunday after Scotland Yard anti-terror officers with armed support officers and Kent Police stopped a car going outbound at Dover.
A 28-year-old man was arrested at the same port on Monday morning.
Under the same operation, two men, aged 24 and 40, were arrested on Monday in east London.
Warrants for the further detention were granted until Sunday December 14 for each of those five people previously arrested in connection with the investigation and all five remain in custody.
Searches linked to those arrests were carried out at four addresses in east London, one in south London and two in north Wales as part of the investigation.
The widow of murdered aid worker David Haines has told Sky News the militants who killed her husband are cowards.
Speaking at their home in Sisak, Croatia, in her first television interview, Dragana Haines said: "They consider themselves brave, but that's not bravery.
"It's a cowardly act to behead someone who has his hands tied behind his back, who is kneeling.
"You are a coward if you are going to behead someone who is helpless. You're not even a human being.
"You must be a monster to do something like that."

Mr Haines grew up in Scotland and served as an aircraft engineer in the RAF, but he found his calling in humanitarian work.
He met Dragana, his second wife, in post-war Yugoslavia.
He was working for a German reconstruction charity, and she was a translator for the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
They married in 2010 and settled in Croatia, where their daughter, Athea, was born.
In March 2013, he was kidnapped while working for a French aid agency in Syria.

"Every day was a challenge," Mrs Haines said.
"Waking up in the morning and thinking OK should I be hopeful? Will it be a day when they will call me, or he will call me and say 'OK I'm free, I'm coming back'?
"Or will it be a day when they will call me and say something bad has happened?"
In June, Islamic State released a video showing Mr Haines, and warning he would be next to be killed.
"I saw him in the video," Mrs Haines said through tears.

A blast of wintry conditions is expected for the UK this week – with the Met Office issuing severe weather warnings for snow and ice in large swathes of the country.
Drivers are being urged to take extra care during Monday morning's rush hour, with snowy showers expected at 200m above sea level in some areas.
A mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow is expected on lower ground.
The Met Office said: "Accumulating snow may lead to travel disruption on routes over high ground, whilst icy stretches are also likely to form more generally on untreated surfaces.
"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel during Sunday night and Monday morning."
Rebecca Yussuf, weather producer for Sky News, said: "Most places will see a scattering of showers both Sunday night and Monday.
"About 2cm to 5cm of snow is likely to accumulate above 200m in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, but there could be as much as 10cm above 400m in the Scottish mountains.
"Sunday will be a cold night, with a fairly widespread frost and icy stretches on the roads. Difficult driving conditions and disruption to transport is possible on Monday morning."
According to the Met Office, "a bit of sleet" could even travel as far south as the Midlands in the coming days.
Its forecasters warn that conditions could be "pretty horrendous" in the Scottish mountains.
The Met Office's yellow warning for snow and ice remains in place until noon on Monday.
It is the lowest level of the warnings, meaning people are urged to be aware of the potentially serious conditions.
There is a separate yellow warning for Wednesday, when severe gales of between 60mph and 80mph are expected to hit much of north Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
Further disruption to travel and power supplies is possible.
Unfortunately, it's too early to accurately predict whether Britain will experience a White Christmas – even though the unsettled weather is set to continue for a while.

George Osborne has placed himself on a collision course with the Lib Dems - warning that they, as well as Labour, would trigger "economic chaos" in Britain.
The Chancellor has also accused Nick Clegg's party of wanting to place "hefty income rises" on families.
The intervention could tip the Coalition into open civil war after a week in which the Lib Dem leader failed to turn up to watch Mr Osborne deliver his Autumn Statement, and a senior colleague criticised the scale of cuts that were unveiled.
Writing in the Sunday Times, Mr Osborne says: "The Liberal Democrats are now arguing with themselves, so it's hard to work out exactly what they think."
He said the party wants tax rises instead of cuts but can't find the money needed through a property tax alone.

"If you want higher taxes to do the heavy lifting, you'd also need to increase taxes like income tax or national insurance."
He admitted that, under his plans, there would be cuts for departments but also big reductions in the welfare bill.
Suggestions being put forward include pushing single parents to return to work a year earlier than at present, when their child turns two, and restricting child benefit to the first two children in the family.

"There's a clear choice: a competent plan to stay on course to prosperity with us; or a return to economic chaos with all the alternatives," he writes.
The article is likely to infuriate Mr Osborne's Treasury colleague, the Lib Dem chief secretary Danny Alexander, as well as the leader, Mr Clegg.
The Archbishop of Canterbury says he was left more shocked at the plight of poor families in the UK being forced to rely on food banks than the suffering in African refugee camps.
Hunger "stalks large parts of the country" while the scale of waste was "astonishing", said the Most Rev Justin Welby.
He made his comments ahead of the publication on Monday of a parliamentary report he has backed that sets out a series of proposals aimed at preventing people going hungry, and urges swift action by the Government and food industry.
The sharp increase in food banks has led to fierce political rows
In an article in The Mail on Sunday Archbishop Welby said, although less "serious", the situation of a family having to turn to food bank in the UK had shocked him more than terrible suffering in Africa because it was so unexpected.
Archbishop Welby wrote about his visit to a refugee camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the scene that he encountered.

"It was deeply shocking but, tragically, expected," he wrote.
"A few weeks later in England, I was talking to some people - a mum, dad and one child - in a food bank.

Young adult carers on average miss 48 days of school and are more likely to be bullied than other students.
They are also more likely to drop out of college or university, while those in employment miss work an average of 17 days a year.
Those are the main findings of a survey by the Carers Trust charity, which spoke to 295 carers aged 16-24.
Lauren Cooper sometimes cares for her young cousin
It estimates there are around 375,000 young adults in the UK who step in when their families with care needs are left without adequate support.
Moira Fraser, interim Chief Executive of the Carers Trust said: "This research paints a gloomy picture.
Video:Mobile App To Help Carers
"It shows young adult carers are experiencing difficulties in their education, employment prospects, health and socialisation.
"They are not being identified and supported so they face multiple barriers that will have a significant and lasting impact on their future."
The survey also found young adult carers have higher rates of poor mental and physical health and rarely get the assessments they are entitled to.
Lauren Cooper, aged 13, cares for her grandparents, uncle and sometimes her disabled cousin.
She told Sky News: "Sometimes I can sit down and fall asleep, it is that busy and hectic."
As part of its Time To Be Heard campaign, Carers Trust is calling on the Government to make sure the implementation of the Care Act 2014 and Children and Families Act 2014 is adequately funded and monitored.
It says this would be "an important step towards ensuring that young adult carers can put aside heavy caring responsibilities and instead put their energy into education, training and employment."
Among its other demands is that the Government includes young adult carers in additional financial support programmes, such as Pupil Premium and the 16-19 Bursary Fund.
Another survey has found that grandparents and other family members raising relatives' children face stigma and discrimination at the school gate.
Families, known as kinship carers, told charity Grandparents Plus they felt that they were treated differently by other parents, mistreated by social workers and teachers and the children they raised were bullied or excluded by others.
The charity is calling on the Government to support the UK's estimated 200,000 kinship carers by guaranteeing they receive support, offering them the same rights as those who adopt and ensuring the welfare system does not "penalise" them.
