Many Southern rail season ticket holders say they're still waiting for compensation promised before Christmas.

On 2 December the government said one-off payments worth up to a month of free travel could be claimed to make up for the disruption throughout 2016.

But despite being told they'd hear from Southern in early January, many passengers say they're still waiting.

Southern says it's nearly finished contacting the 40,000 people it has email addresses for, but admits there could be nearly double that number who will have to claim through a dedicated web page, which will go up next week.

An army of robots has invaded London's Science Museum on a mission to teachhumans their 500-year-old history. , external

Opening tomorrow, a major new exhibition explores humanity's centuries old quest to re-imagine people as moving, talking and thinking machines. 

More than 100 robots are on display, ranging from a 16th century automaton monk to characters from science fiction films and research lab creations. 

Inventor Richard Greenhill's Shadow Biped, a 1980s attempt to build the world's first humanoid robot using wooden bones and air-powered muscles, is also featured.

Mr Greenhill, 73, from London, said: "I came up with the concept of the air muscle which powered the biped. 

"To make my invention work, I went to a local department store's bridal section, where they sold gloves for bridesmaids featuring some netting that was perfect to go around my fledgling muscles. I bought dozens of pairs."

He went on to construct the shadow hand in the 1990s - at the time the world's most humanlike hand - which is also on show.

Ministers will admit England's housing market is "broken" as they unveil new plans to build more affordable homes.

The government says 250,000 new homes are needed each year and has admitted it is lagging behind schedule.

The new housing strategy for England includes forcing councils to plan for their local housing needs and giving them powers to pressure developers to start building on land they own.

Labour accused the government of "seven years of failure" on housing.

Communities Secretary Sajid Javid will set out the details of the housing White Paper in a statement to MPs.

The route between Gospel Oak and Barking on the London Overground line reopens on 27 February after an eight-month closure - but more work needs to be done.

Modernisation of the Victorian infrastructure began in June by Network Rail.

It says the delays have been caused by an incorrect design of some "structures" along the 14-mile route meaning they couldn't be installed. Late delivery of materials has also hampered progress.

The Barking - Gospel Oak Rail User Group says while it is pleased services are about to run again it is concerned about further disruption for passengers.

Secretary Glenn Wallis said: "With rail replacement buses that missed out half the stations and limited refund arrangements, passengers have been left to largely fend for themselves. Now we learn that although trains are to start running again, the passengers’ pain is far from over."

A 19-year-old man who killed an American tourist and injured five other people in Russell Square in August has been detained indefinitely.

Sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Spencer handed Zakaria Bulhan a hospital order with a restriction order without limit of time. 

The judge described the killing as "a tragic waste of life" and said the psychological effects on the survivors would never leave them. 

He told Bulhan: "It is quite clear that when you committed these dreadful crimes you were not in your right mind. You were in the grip of mental illness, paranoid schizophrenia." 

The London primary school hopes to protect children from traffic and pollution.

One of pop's true originals, MIA, has been handed the keys to this year's Meltdown festival in London.

The musician said she would "bring together music's best forward thinkers" for the week-long event.

Although the programme is yet to be announced, it is bound to combine her revolutionary politics with a restless passion for new music.

Wimbledon police station was closed as a precaution after someone handed in a hand grenade. 

It's thought that it originated from WWII and was handed in as part of the Met Police's gun amnesty. 

The station has now reopened. 

Engineering work was also carried out two days before a pair of wagons overturned.

The ex-husband of a woman who was awarded £230,000 on her divorce has been told by the Court of Appeal he must support her for life.

Maria Mills, 51, was originally awarded £1,100 a month from 50-year-old Graham Mills after 13 years of marriage.

Appeal Court judges also ruled he should pay her £1,441 per month as she is "unable to meet her basic needs".

Mr Mills had argued he should not have to "pick up the tab" 15 years after the couple split.

Lord Justice Longmore and Sir Ernest Ryder heard the couple married in 1988, had a now-grown-up son, separated in 2001 and divorced in 2002.

Mr Mills, a surveyor, had agreed to give Mrs Mills, a former Notting Hill estate agent, almost all their "liquid capital" when they divorced, while he kept his business.

His barrister, Philip Cayford, told the court Mr Mills, who now lives in Guildford, had since remarried and wanted to "move on" with his life.

The court heard Mrs Mills had made some "unwise" property investments, moving from a house in Weybridge to a flat in Wimbledon, and then to an apartment in a luxury Victorian mansion block in Battersea.

After selling the Battersea flat she was left "without any of the capital", the court was told, and was now living in a rented home in Weybridge.
