And our security correspondent, Frank Gardner, is with me.

Frank, yet another terror attack on Turkish soil, this time claimed by

IS. What's your view of the situation there? Well, this was a

double target for so-called Islamic State. This was a form of

retaliation for them because they're coming under military pressure,

daily pressure from Turkish warplanes and ground incursions in

Syria. Turkey is fighting IS on the ground. It was also a way to grab

international attention by hitting an international group, that they

call defenders of Christianity or something, because they were

celebrating New Year's Eve, which they consider to be a Pagan

festival. It was a double target. For Turkey there were a number of

reasons why this is particular tough for them. Turkey's been shaken by

three big events really, ongoing events. It's had the falled coup in

the summer, which has led to the sacking of 100,000 people, many of

whom are in the security and intelligence apparatus. It's

weakened Turkey's security. They're now fully at war with so-called

Islamic State and they're fully at war with the PKK, the Kurdish

workers party, gorilla group. They're fighting several --

guerrilla groups. They're fighting several battles. It's not easy for

Turkey. Frank, thank you. And the so-called Islamic State

group has also claimed responsibility for a series of bomb

attacks in Iraq. In one incident 35 people died,

when a suicide bomber detonated a device at an outdoor market

in the Shi'ite neighbourhood A British soldier has died,

while serving in Iraq. The Ministry of Defence says

it happened in Taji, 17 miles north of Baghdad,

and isn't the result Our correspondent Simon Jones is at

the Ministry of Defence tonight. Simon, just bring us up to date with

the latest on this. There are currently 650 British soldiers in

Iraq, but not in a combat role. Their task is to train members of

the Iraqi Defence Forces in the fight against so-called Islamic

State. There is a training camp just north of Baghdad. We know that

Iraqis have been trained how to deal with improvised explosive devices

and basic weapons handling by their British counterparts. The Ministry

of Defence is not saying very much about how soldier died. He was a

member of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. The MoD stress that's was

not the result of enemy activity. The family of the soldier has been

informed. They've asked for a period of grace before the name is

released. Simon Jones, at the Ministry of

correspondent, Ben Wright. He's one of Jeremy Corbyn's most

important, powerful backers. And Len McCluskey, the leader

of Unite, is hoping to be re-elected the union's

General Secretary in April. But, in an interview today,

Mr McCluskey suggested the Labour Leader had a sell-by-date,

and was blunt about the party's Len McCluskey later tweeted that

Jeremy Corbyn continued Jeremy Corbyn was re-elected

Labour Leader in September, but many of his own MPs remain

in despair at the party's performance, and the tussle going

on within the Unite union reflects arguments going on within Labour

on immigration and Brexit - We have to refocus

our union's activity. Campaigning against Len McCluskey

General Secretary of being Not playing Westminster

Brexit to mean an end Control of borders is

very important to them. It was one of key issues as to why

they voted exit in the referendum. And actually, they would feel very

with campaigners calling the 2.3% increase in England,

Scotland and Wales a "kick The Government says the rise

is below average wage increases, and the money

is needed to pay for Our business correspondent,

Joe Lynam, reports. If you have to pay out thousands

of pounds for a rail season ticket, your New Year hasn't

very started well. With the exception

of Northern Ireland, the average ticket will be 2.3% more

expensive from today. Season tickets, which are set

by the Government, go up by 1.9%, still considerably more

than inflation at the moment. Even allowing for inflation,

fares have risen by a quarter I don't think the train workers

are getting paid more money. I think it's a disgrace,

particularly as the railways It's going to make me feel

disappointed, angry. These latest fare rises

will especially sting commuters, who've had to put up with industrial

strike action, on top of punctuality problems,

insufficient seating and the impact But the Government says

it's on an unprecedented Around the rail network,

there's a lot happening. And yes, of course, nobody wants

to see a fare increase. And right now, fares are rising

less fast than wages, so at least that's a step

in the right direction. But passenger groups say

new investment shouldn't There's a huge amount of money

coming into the industry from us passengers -

about ?9 billion a year. That should be buying

lots of improvement While passengers may baulk at this

latest fare increase, That's because taxpayers are now

shouldering proportionately less of the cost of running the railways

than they were. It means of course that

commuters are shouldering And campaigners are calling

for a total freeze in rail fares, which they say has become totally

disconnected from the One of the biggest school campuses

in the UK is being built in County Tyrone, as part of a push

to encourage shared education The overwelming majority of pupils

in Northern Ireland go to schools based on religious denomination,

but the sharing of facilities on one site is seen as a way of breaking

down barriers and fostering Our Ireland correspondent,

Chris Buckler, reports. In Northern Ireland, there

is a clear divide in education. More than 90% of pupils

are taught separately in what are broadly seen

as Protestant and Catholic schools. There are many who believe that only

reinforces the idea of two distinct Now there is a push to bring schools

a little closer together. Like obviously there is a division

in Protestants and Catholics. Obviously now, we are now

leading into the future. These pupils are from some

of the six schools that will soon sit side by side on Omagh's first

share education campus. It will make a big

difference, especially Where I'm from, there's not as much

familiar background. The six different schools

will have separate buildings This land housed an Army base

during the many years The notorious Omagh bombing happened

just a mile away from where Shared education is part of attempts

to create what politicians call a shared future and escape those

decades of division. There are even proposals

for schools that will The difference will be that,

whenever Protestant and Catholic pupils walk in, they will be wearing

different uniforms. One group will turn left

and the other turn right, to be taught in their different

wings of the building. There are people

who believe that only That's what Catholic and Protestant

pupils are taught together. I think shared education is helping

but I think integrated education is the actual,

ultimate aim that our education system should

be working towards. But the vast majority of parents

in Northern Ireland still choose to send their children

to state or Catholic schools. What our school offers

is a separate experience, a separate identity,

a separate tradition within that This is a unique opportunity

to bring us all onto one campus so that we still maintain our

own identity and ethos but have that ability to share

when we need to share. Arvalee recently became the first

school to open on the Strule campus. It's for pupils with learning

difficulties and it's hoped the relationships will be developed

with it and its eventual But the true test of this project

won't be how close the schools physically are to each

other, but how close the The highly influential art critic,

writer and painter, John Berger, His pioneering TV series Ways

of Seeing was turned He also won the Booker Prize

for literature in 1972. Our arts editor, Will Gompertz,

look back at his life. The process of seeing paintings

or anything else is less spontaneous John Berger's 1972 BBC television

series, Ways Of Seeing, I want to question some

of the assumptions usually made about the tradition

of European painting. He argued that the

advent of mass media fundamentally altered our perception

and appreciation of art. Take this original painting

in the National Gallery. Only what you are seeing

is still not the original. The programme was to become iconic

and highly influential but would not, he told me a couple

of months ago, be made today. We had four months to

make these programmes. And after four months,

an incredible amount of editing and reediting,

we offered it to them In circumstances of making

television, which could never occur again, and which were

miraculous for us. John Berger challenged convention,

the establishment, and us. He had the eye of an

artist, the intellect of an academic, and the

charisma of a performer. The lights are kept low

so as to prevent the He was though, above all,

a writer and storyteller. The activity of writing has,

for me, been a vital one. It helps me to make sense

of things and to continue. He enriched our lives

through his novels, poetry He showed us how to see -
