now on BBC1 its time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:14.

Welcome to BBC London News, I'm Alice Bhandhukravi.

:00:15.:00:20.

Train companies are being accused of failing

:00:21.:00:23.

to properly inform passengers about their rights when it

:00:24.:00:25.

A report by the consumer group Which says rail operators

:00:26.:00:30.

are using industry-wide terms and conditions to prevent customers

:00:31.:00:32.

from claiming for expenses including missed flights,

:00:33.:00:33.

Southern passengers and Victoria are well used to train delays. But many

:00:34.:00:51.

won't be aware of their legal rights to compensation. Rudy Owens says

:00:52.:00:55.

despite countless delays on southern of an hour or more, he's not asked

:00:56.:01:00.

for money back. They don't tell you that you can claim. And it has gone

:01:01.:01:06.

on for so long you just can't keep count of how many times you've been

:01:07.:01:09.

delayed and how much compensation you deserve. Now the consumer group

:01:10.:01:16.

Which is producing a report claiming train companies are failing their

:01:17.:01:20.

passengers, using a smoke screen to prevent claimants. Train companies

:01:21.:01:24.

are breaking the law by not being clear enough with their passengers

:01:25.:01:28.

about the claims that they can make when they lose out as a consequence

:01:29.:01:32.

of delays to their journey or as the result of other poor service. And we

:01:33.:01:36.

are calling on 17 of the train companies to make it much, much

:01:37.:01:40.

clearer. The consumer rights act came into force on the railways last

:01:41.:01:45.

October. Many passengers could claim not just for their ticket. You put

:01:46.:01:50.

your train tickets, you come up for a big treat, left plenty of time for

:01:51.:01:53.

the journey and then the train is delayed. Then you missed the

:01:54.:01:59.

performance or miss so much, frankly it is not worth watching or going

:02:00.:02:05.

into. But then what is reasonable. Spokesperson for the rail operator

:02:06.:02:08.

says that far from breaking the law on this they are actually going

:02:09.:02:12.

above and beyond what is expected of the level of claim people will be

:02:13.:02:15.

able to make when their trainers DeLaet, it will be tested in the

:02:16.:02:19.

courts. -- when their train is delayed.

:02:20.:02:23.

Two men from West London have been sentenced to a total of more

:02:24.:02:26.

than seven years in prison, after admitting terror

:02:27.:02:28.

23 year-old Mohammed Mayow and Mohanned Jasim who's 21,

:02:29.:02:32.

were arrested at Dover Docks as they tried to leave the country.

:02:33.:02:36.

The men were charged with distributing terrorist material.

:02:37.:02:40.

Police have evicted a group of squatters after they were deemed

:02:41.:02:43.

Around 60 bailiffs forced their way in to the building

:02:44.:02:52.

on Buckingham Gate in Westminster at 4am this morning,

:02:53.:02:54.

The police said they were concerned that if the occupiers accessed

:02:55.:03:01.

the roof of the adjoining building, they could directly

:03:02.:03:03.

peer into the gardens of the royal grounds.

:03:04.:03:07.

The magic of the cinema can bring people together

:03:08.:03:10.

in a way little else can, but not everyone can afford it.

:03:11.:03:13.

An entrepreneur in Croydon has come up with a new idea to fix that;

:03:14.:03:16.

a bus converted into a cinema to screen films to children

:03:17.:03:19.

Caroline Davies went on it's first school outing.

:03:20.:03:29.

Doesn't look like a normal bus, does it? And it isn't. This is the movie

:03:30.:03:41.

mobile. Any parent knows just how expensive it is. I live on a housing

:03:42.:03:45.

estate. I thought, wouldn't it be great if a cinema rocked up. Using

:03:46.:03:51.

funding from Croydon Council and a start-up loan, Kerry kitted out an

:03:52.:03:54.

old bus, even down to a popcorn machine. This is the bust's first

:03:55.:04:03.

school group. It's so exciting. I like eating popcorn, watching the

:04:04.:04:10.

video. It's really cool. It's amazing, exactly what I've been

:04:11.:04:15.

waiting for. I'm overwhelmed, seeing them jumping around, it's perfect.

:04:16.:04:19.

The aim is to reach children whose families might not be able to afford

:04:20.:04:23.

to take them to the cinema. She plans to fund it by renting the bus

:04:24.:04:27.

to corporate companies or for private parties. I think it can open

:04:28.:04:33.

their imagination, them. Nothing can beat the magic of the cinema. It is

:04:34.:04:38.

just one pass for now but Kerry has plans to turn it into a fleet so

:04:39.:04:41.

this could be coming to a street near you, soon.

:04:42.:04:46.

Quick look at the weather now. Tomorrow will be largely dry with

:04:47.:04:53.

bright spells in the morning. Winds strengthening into the afternoon

:04:54.:04:56.

with outbreaks of rain in the evening, and a high of 13 Celsius.

:04:57.:05:01.

That's it, we're back tomorrow evening. Enjoy the rest of Saturday.

:05:02.:05:11.

Good evening. Starting with a quick look at the satellite sequence from

:05:12.:05:20.

earlier. We started under a big blanket of cloud but Scotland and

:05:21.:05:23.

Northern Ireland brightened up as the day went off. Underneath the

:05:24.:05:27.

cloud in England and Wales, quite a bit of rain at the moment, drifting

:05:28.:05:33.

southwards and East. It will continue to do so. In the small

:05:34.:05:37.

hours the rain will become patchy, and most will give way to the

:05:38.:05:41.

continent. There will be some breaks, particularly to the East of

:05:42.:05:44.

Scotland, where there could be a touch of frost. Next batch of rain

:05:45.:05:50.

into the western side of Scotland first thing, moving east with a

:05:51.:05:53.

little snow over higher ground. Another pulse of rain coming towards

:05:54.:05:57.

the Irish Sea area and with that comes really strong winds, blowing a

:05:58.:06:03.

gale, and into Scotland it could get to 50, 60

:06:04.:06:04.
