0:00:17 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to Reporters.

0:00:19 > 0:00:20I'm Karin Giannone.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23From here in the world's newsroom, we send out correspondents to bring

0:00:23 > 0:00:26you the best stories from across the globe.

0:00:26 > 0:00:31In this week's programme, inside Istanbul's Reina nightclub.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Mark Lowen gets exclusive access to the scene

0:00:33 > 0:00:38of Turkey's New Year's Eve terror attack, in which 39 people died.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41The owners of Reina say they will reopen the nightclub.

0:00:41 > 0:00:47It's a sign of the defiant mood here.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50The bright lights of Atlantic City, which failed to really shine.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Nick Bryant asks what the project tells us about Donald Trump's

0:00:53 > 0:00:54business track record.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56So when he says he can make America great again?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I don't think so.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05And the power of vinyl.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08David Sillito finds out why, in the era of streaming

0:01:08 > 0:01:09and downloads, records are making a comeback.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11But not everyone is convinced.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's like a pizza.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15That's huge.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18That's something that goes round in a circle.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28It was a shocking attack, marking a bloody end to a year

0:01:28 > 0:01:31which saw Turkey repeatedly targeted by so-called Islamic State.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35As people celebrated the New Year at one of Istanbul's

0:01:35 > 0:01:37most popular nightclubs, a lone gunman opened

0:01:38 > 0:01:40fire, killing 39 people.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Dozens more were injured in the attack, which IS

0:01:43 > 0:01:45said they carried out.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48As police hunted for the gunman, Mark Lowen was the only foreign

0:01:48 > 0:01:52journalist allowed into the club, Reina, where the attack took place,

0:01:52 > 0:01:53and sent this report.

0:01:58 > 0:02:07Days ago this place was full of joy, of life, of celebration.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Today, Reina nightclub is a crime scene, scarred by terror.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14We were the only British media allowed in, briefly.

0:02:14 > 0:02:20A rare glimpse of where 39 people were killed on New Year's Eve.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24Imagine the horror as 180 bullets were sprayed here.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27People jumping into the freezing Bosphorus to escape.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31The owners of Reina say they will reopen the nightclub.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's a sign of the defiant mood here.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Yes, people are sombre, yes, they are fearful,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38but Turks have lived with the terror threat for decades,

0:02:38 > 0:02:42albeit on a smaller scale, and they are determined not to let

0:02:42 > 0:02:44it defeat them.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Watch the right-hand side of this footage from the attack.

0:02:47 > 0:02:52A man jumps over a low fence outside the nightclub to avoid the bullets.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57Then the gunman runs up to the door, shooting his way into Reina.

0:02:57 > 0:03:04That mum on the right of the video was nightclub manager Ali Unal,

0:03:04 > 0:03:08who had a miraculous escape.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11TRANSLATION: I felt bullets explode next to me.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15I threw myself over the fence, tripped and fell.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18The bullets were centimetres over my head.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20When I fell, he must have thought he had hit me,

0:03:20 > 0:03:25so he went inside and I heard the terrible sounds.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28The suspect still hasn't been caught.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30New pictures show him at the bus station in the central

0:03:30 > 0:03:34city of Konya, before travelling to Istanbul.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37So-called Islamic State called him their brave soldier.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42The Turkish authorities have given no more information about him.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Those tired of terror went to the scene of the massacre.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57A quiet commemoration.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Tributes were laid and thoughts gathered about how their country can

0:03:59 > 0:04:03rebuild, and how the next generation can regain a sense of safety.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I don't want to cry any more, while I'm watching the news.

0:04:06 > 0:04:07It makes me really sad.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10And I don't want my daughter to grow up in this kind

0:04:10 > 0:04:12of environment, you know?

0:04:12 > 0:04:14With this news of the background and everything.

0:04:14 > 0:04:19I want her to be happy.

0:04:19 > 0:04:19They must wait to see if those who protect this country are really

0:04:30 > 0:04:34They must wait to see if those who protect this country are really

0:04:34 > 0:04:41closing in on the man who brought horror to New Year's Eve.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44It was once billed as the eighth wonder of the world,

0:04:44 > 0:04:46a city meant to match the glitz of Las Vegas.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49In the 1980s, Donald Trump promised to make Atlantic City great again.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52But his companies there went into bankruptcy and now 30 years

0:04:52 > 0:04:54later many of his casinos have closed down.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57As Mr Trump prepares to take over as US President in two weeks' time,

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Nick Bryant has been to Atlantic City to find out

0:04:59 > 0:05:02what its fortunes say about his track record in business.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Donald Trump promised to make Atlantic City great again.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07In the 1980s he opened a string of casinos to make it an east

0:05:07 > 0:05:11coast rival to Las Vegas.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15The Trump Taj Mahal, he boasted, would become the eighth

0:05:15 > 0:05:16wonder of the world.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19But it's decay rather than decadence that greets you now.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22We are at the centre of the Trump Taj Mahal.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Local guide Levi Fox runs a Trump tour, telling the story of how

0:05:26 > 0:05:29the billionaire's companies went into bankruptcy here four times.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33He did never achieve his promises, and it makes me wonder

0:05:33 > 0:05:35whether he could achieve that for America, although at this point

0:05:35 > 0:05:38we all hope that he can.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40It old casino empire was opened with vintage champagne

0:05:40 > 0:05:43and vintage Trump showmanship.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46He took Michael Jackson on a guided tour.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48But the city never did come to rival Las Vegas.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51He got out of town seven years ago.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Since then he's taken action to have his name removed

0:05:54 > 0:05:57from his old casinos, fearing perhaps they'd be seen

0:05:57 > 0:06:00as monuments of failure.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I think he was one of the causes of Atlantic City being

0:06:02 > 0:06:05the way it is today.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08From his boardwalk buggy, Freddie watched his rise and fall.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12In the beginning he was doing good, and then later on, put it like this,

0:06:12 > 0:06:17if you have four casinos in Atlantic City and now you have

0:06:17 > 0:06:19none, what does that tell you?

0:06:19 > 0:06:21So when he says he can make America great again?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26I don't think so.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Things that got so bad here that the state

0:06:28 > 0:06:31of New Jersey took over the city to save it from bankruptcy.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Even the pawn shops aren't doing much business,

0:06:33 > 0:06:37because people here have little left to pawn.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Inside we met a building contractor, Danny McMahon.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Trump's years in Atlantic City, he says, offered proof that all that

0:06:44 > 0:06:45glistens isn't gold.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Trump used to run this city.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I used to watch him not pay his bills and screw everybody over,

0:06:51 > 0:06:55and pay a penny on the dollars and take them to court,

0:06:55 > 0:06:58and I understand that businessman aspect of it.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01But you're screwing the little man.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Two years ago we interviewed Donald Trump about Atlantic City,

0:07:05 > 0:07:08and he blamed its decline on local politicians and the fact

0:07:08 > 0:07:10that he left town.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I decided years ago to get out, and it was a good decision.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16But it's a decision very interestingly that coincides

0:07:16 > 0:07:20with when Atlantic City started going down.

0:07:20 > 0:07:26But I still have a warm spot in my heart for Atlantic City,

0:07:26 > 0:07:29because I did great there for a long time.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34But does Atlantic City still have a warm spot for him?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37The verdict was delivered on election day, where here

0:07:37 > 0:07:40they voted for Hillary Clinton.

0:07:40 > 0:07:49Nick Bryant, BBC News, New Jersey.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now we've had Take That, the Backstreet Boys,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac, but now it is vinyl making

0:07:57 > 0:07:59a comeback in the music industry.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Sales of vinyl records are at their highest for 25 years,

0:08:02 > 0:08:04with a new generation of collectors buying albums.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Even if they have no plans to play them.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Streaming sites are still the preferred method

0:08:07 > 0:08:10of listening to music, but for some you can't beat

0:08:10 > 0:08:11the purity of listening to a record.

0:08:11 > 0:08:18David Sillito reports now on the vinyl revival.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22MUSIC.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Led Zep II.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26A classic album.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29For Phil Barton of Sister Ray Records, there is no debate.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Music just sounds better when it comes on a 12 inch disc.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35But as a business it's been tough.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39However, things have begun to change.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Ten years ago I'd have given you the keys to the shop and said,

0:08:42 > 0:08:44look, I can't make any money out of this.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46So I didn't realise this stuff was still going

0:08:46 > 0:08:48to be hanging around.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52David Bowie was the biggest seller last year.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Prince was also in the top ten, along with Amy Winehouse,

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Fleetwood Mac and the Beatles.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02Over the last ten years sales have grown by 1500%.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06However, a recent survey found that nearly half,

0:09:06 > 0:09:0948%, were never played.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Of course it's worth putting this into some sort of context,

0:09:12 > 0:09:16because imagine that each of these records represents a million sales.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19The BPI says if you add in streaming, digital downloads,

0:09:19 > 0:09:28CDs, about 123 million albums were sold last year.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31The number of vinyl albums sold last year - three million.

0:09:31 > 0:09:37But both are dwarfed by the real music titan - streaming.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Streaming is a totally different beast.

0:09:39 > 0:09:4245 billion streams, it's at the other end of the spectrum.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's not really recorded music in the physical

0:09:44 > 0:09:46format as we know it.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49But it is felt that streaming can help younger listeners

0:09:49 > 0:09:52to eventually try the hard stuff.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Quite a lot of people at uni buy vinyls.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Do they?

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Yes.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58They do, don't they?

0:09:58 > 0:10:00They do.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01They do.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02In the inner sleeve here...

0:10:02 > 0:10:06However, for some, this was an entirely new experience.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's massive, look at it! What's that, 12 inches?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12It's like...

0:10:12 > 0:10:14like a pizza. It's like pizza.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17That's the thing that goes round, the circle.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18The spinning thing.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21You really have never touched or handled this ever before?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23No. No.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's a first.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Even Drake, the world's most streamed artist,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32has now issued his back catalogue on vinyl, after discovering

0:10:32 > 0:10:34they were being bootlegged.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37But for most fans of Justin Bieber and the other kings of streaming,

0:10:37 > 0:10:40this way of listening is ancient history.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43David Sillito, BBC News.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's that crackling sound we love, you just can't beat it.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51That is all from Reporters for this week.

0:10:51 > 0:11:00From me, Karin Giannone, goodbye for now.
