-- will go ahead. Further attempts at talks failed.

From here in the world -- and the world was like newsrooms, we bring

you the best stories from around the globe. In this week's programme:

Insight Istanbul's Reina nightclub. 39 people died in the nightclub in a

New Year's Eve terror attack. The owners say they will reopen the

nightclub. It is the sign of a defiant mood here.

On the front line of Yemen's Civil War. We join government groups as

they try to recapture the capital from rebel forces.

TRANSLATION: People are lost, but at least the land is liberated. The

rebels are retreating on a daily basis.

The bright lights of Atlantic City which fail to really shine. Nick

Bryant asks what the project tells us about Donald Trump's business

track record. When he says he can make America

great again? I don't think so. My wound was slight and I was

hovering back. Then they shall -- then a shall burst. The battle of

Passchendaele, one of the First World War's bloodiest.

And the power of vinyl. We find out why in the era of streaming and

download the records are making a comeback, but not everybody is

convinced. It is like a pizza. That is huge. That goes on the thing that

goes around in circles. It was a shocking attack marking a

bloody end to a year which saw Turkey repeatedly targeted by

so-called Islamic State. As people celebrated the New Year at one of

Istanbul's most popular nightclubs, a lone gunman opened fire, killing

39 people. Dozens more were injured in the attack which I said they

carried out. As police hunted for the government, Mark Levin was the

only foreign journalist allowed into the club, La Reina, where the attack

took place and sent this report. Days ago this place was full of joy,

of life, of celebration. Today, Reina nightclub is a crime scene

scarred by terror. We were the only British media allowed in. Briefly. A

rare glimpse of where 39 people were killed on New Year's Eve. Imagine

the horror as 180 bullets were sprayed here. People jumping into

the freezing water to escape. The owners of Reina say they will reopen

the nightclub. It is the sign of a defiant mood. The Turks have lived

with a terror threat for years, albeit on a smaller scale, they are

determined not to let it defeat them. Watch the right-hand side of

this from the attack. A man jumps over a low fence outside the

nightclub to avoid the bullets. Then the gunman runs up to the door,

shooting his way into Reina. That man on the right-hand side was the

nightclub manager, who had a miraculous escape.

TRANSLATION: I felt bullets explode next to me. I threw myself over the

fence, but tripped and fell. The bullets when centimetres over my

head. When I fell, he must have thought he hit me, and he went

inside and I heard the terrible sounds. The suspect still hasn't

been caught. New pictures showing a matter bust -- new pictures showed

him at a bus centre in another city. The IS have called him their brave

soldier. There are no more details about him. Rate in a part of

Istanbul, where he is thought -- from where he is thought to travel

to the nightclub. No arrests were made. Security has been tightened

amid fears that somebody could strike again. -- raids. Others have

been detained, including two foreigners at Istanbul airport. It

isn't clear Watling, if any, they are thought to have with the. --

what link. Those tired of terror went to the scene of the massacre, a

quiet commemoration, tributes were laid and thoughts gathered about how

their country can rebuild, and how the next generation can rebuild a

sense of safety. I don't want to cry any more while I am watching the

news, you know? It makes me really sad. And I don't want my daughter to

grow up in this kind of environment, you know? With this news on in the

background, and everything. I want her to be happy. A nervous wait to

see if those who protect this country are really closing in on the

man who brought horror to New Year's Eve.

To the shifting front lines of the war in Yemen. Who the rebels,

thought to be backed by Iran, captured the capital to Maggie years

ago. Since then, pro-government forces, backed by a Saudi led air

campaign have been trying to take it back. The army says the rebels have

planted thousands of landmines along the route to the city and many

civilians are getting caught. This is where the battle to retake the

capital begins. The mountains ahead are all that stands between the army

and the capital of Sana'a. Their Commander is taking us up to their

Their commander is taking us high up into the front line positions.

He tells me the terrain makes it a natural fortress for the Houthi

rebels and his men are always exposed to death.

It's the first time an international broadcaster has visited these areas.

The army are just 40 miles from the capital.

But the closer they push into the mountains,

TRANSLATION: Everyday we make some progress.

People are lost, but at least land is liberated.

The rebels are retreating on a daily basis.

But both sides have reached a stalemate.

Despite arms and air support from the Saudi-led coalition,

these fighters from the national army haven't made any major gains.

And as they fight for ground, the situation in Yemen has

As the front lines shift, landmines have been left behind.

The army say that the Houthi rebels have planted tens of thousands

of them in both military and civilian areas.

The scale of the problem makes Yemen one of the worst affected

Despite a lack of training, the army say they've diffused over

The locals in this area say all their farmland was mined.

This is one of the areas that the Houthis had control

The national army and the people then pushed them out,

and as they were doing so, the Houthis planted landmines

This man and his family fled once the fighting started.

They thought it was safe to return to their home.

TRANSLATION: My wife was praying here in the room and my son

They had lunch and my son asked my wife to pass him a blanket.

As she pulled the blanket there was a huge explosion.

The mine planted in his home killed his wife, 22-year-old son

It hurts to remember what happened, he says.

The Houthis strongly deny the use of landmines in civilian areas.

They say they only target military vehicles and accused the coalition

Regardless of who is responsible, the prospect for a lasting

solution remains distant, and the Yemeni people

stuck in the middle continue to pay the price.

It was once billed as the eighth wonder of the world,

a city meant to match the glitz of Las Vegas.

In the 1980s, Donald Trump promised to make Atlantic City great again.

But his companies there went into bankruptcy and now 30 years

later many of his casinos have closed down.

As Mr Trump prepares to take over as US President in two weeks' time,

Nick Bryant has been to Atlantic City to find out

what its fortunes say about his track record in business.

Donald Trump promised to make Atlantic City great again.

In the 1980s he opened a string of casinos to make it an east

We are at the centre of the Trump Taj Mahal.

the billionaire's companies went into bankruptcy here four times.

He did never achieve his promises, and it makes me wonder

whether he could achieve that for America, although at this point

So when he says he can make America great again?

Things had got so bad here that the state

of New Jersey took over the city to save it from bankruptcy.

Even the pawn shops aren't doing much business,

because people here have little left to pawn.

Inside we met a building contractor, Danny McMahon.

Trump's years in Atlantic City, he says, offered proof that all that

I used to watch him not pay his bills and screw everybody over,

and pay a penny on the dollars and take them to court,

and I understand that businessman aspect of it.

Two years ago we interviewed Donald Trump about Atlantic City,

and he blamed its decline on local politicians and the fact

I decided years ago to get out, and it was a good decision.

But it's a decision very interestingly that coincides

with when Atlantic City started going down.

But I still have a warm spot in my heart for Atlantic City,

because I did great there for a long time.

But does Atlantic City still have a warm spot for him?

The verdict was delivered on election day, where here

The religious divisions in Northern Ireland have

The overwhelming majority of pupils go to schools based

But now, as part of a push to encourage joint education

between Protestants and Catholics, one of the biggest school

campuses in Britain is being built in County Tyrone.

As Chris Buckler reports, the sharing of facilities on one

site is seen as a way of breaking down barriers in

In Northern Ireland there is a clear divide in education.

More than 90% of pupils are taught separately in what are broadly seen

There are many who believe that only reinforces the idea of two distinct

But now there's a push to bring schools a little closer together.

Obviously there is division between Protestants and Catholics,

but obviously now we're looking to the future.

These pupils are from some of the six schools that will soon

sit side-by-side on Omagh's first shared education campus.

It will make a big difference, where I'm from there is not as much

The six different schools will have separate buildings

This land housed an army base during the many years of violence

The notorious Omagh bombing happened just a mile away

from where the school campus is being built.

Shared education is part of attempts to create what the politicians

call a shared future, and escape those

There are even proposals for schools that will share the same building.

The difference will be that whenever Protestant

and Catholic pupils walk in, they'll be wearing different

uniforms and one group will turn left and the other will turn right,

to be taught in their different wings of the building.

There are people who believe that only reinforces

That's when 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

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,

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 its eventual neighbours too,

but the true test for this project won't be how close the school

is physically to each other, but how close the pupils feel.

After more than eight hours on the lake, this is all these

These women, who have been waiting all day to buy and take

the fish to the market, aren't happy either.

Many of them will have to go away empty-handed.

Over the last decade and a half, the amount of fish caught

on the Kenyan side of the lake has fallen from 200,000 tonnes

One is pollution, in terms of effluents, especially

Another reason is the issue of usage of inappropriate fishing gears

The lake has also been choking from the invasion of this weed,

Its movement is unpredictable, but for fishermen it means they

That threatens their source of livelihood, so they've been

forced to look for alternative means of survival.

Fishing for us in the family is a culture.

This man says he comes from a long line of fishermen,

but he was forced to sell his boats three years ago.

He teamed up with other former fishermen to invest in these ponds.

It's not something that's easy for most of us,

because we're not used to management of fish.

But now I have to pick up this, and I must say that it's something

Unlike capture fishing, where they get money

from their catch every day, now they have to put in capital

This aguaculture expert says most African fish farmers

There are big problems in Africa which is not unique to us.

One is the quality seeds, quality feeds, quality

The farmers also have a lot to learn from this investment,

which has grown from capital of less than $10,000 in 2010 to more

The cultural shift seems unstoppable.

Now more and more women are joining the trade.

Traditionally fishing was the preserve of men.

A majority of them still eke a living out of the lake,

but as the winds of change continue to blow, a growing number

of them are being pushed ashore into fish farming.

Let's go back 100 years now to one of the bloodiest and the mightiest

More than 325,000 Allied troops and 260,000 German soldiers

were killed in three months of fighting at Passchendaele.

To honour those who fell and to mark its 100th

anniversary this year, two special events will be

My wound was slight and I was hobbling back,

than a shell burst, slick upon the duck boards,

so I fell into the bottomless mud and lost the light.

There was not a sign of life of any sort, not a bird,

The words of those who tried to sum up the hell of Passchendaele.

Three months, when more than half a million men died.

Three months, when the Allied army fought an enemy,

The roads leading North climbed steadily to the German lines

which overlooked the Allies on three sides.

This year's commemorations will be focused in Ypres, a city rebuilt

There will be a series of events built around remembrance

and the need to help visitors understand what happened here.

Steve Armand oversees cemeteries across Belgium.

He says Passchendaele holds a particular resonance.

As you walk through the cemeteries you actually see the headstones

and see the dates, particular dates on the headstones, and there's

so many of them at times in one single day, or a month,

and it's sometimes unbelievable that things like that happened.

On a freezing night under the Menin Gate, the bugles sound

Passchendaele is built into Ypres's turbulent history.

Passchendaele is the loss of a lot of lives for us,

a lot of people that we commemorate, day after day.

And we want to continue the message that the Last Post hasn't forgotten.

This summer's commemorations will be a partnership with the city whose

David Sillito reports now on the vinyl revival.

For Phil Barton of Sister Ray Records, there is no debate.

Music just sounds better when it comes on a 12 inch disc.

However, things have begun to change.

Ten years ago I'd have given you the keys to the shop and said,

look, I can't make any money out of this.

So I didn't realise this stuff was still going

David Bowie was the biggest seller last year.

Prince was also in the top ten, along with Amy Winehouse,

Over the last ten years sales have grown by 1500%.

However, a recent survey found that nearly half,

Of course it's worth putting this into some sort of context,

because imagine that each of these records represents a million sales.

The BPI says if you add in streaming, digital downloads,

CDs, about 123 million albums were sold last year.

The number of vinyl albums sold last year - 3 million.

But both are dwarfed by the real music titan - streaming.

Streaming is a totally different beast.

45 billion streams, it's at the other end of the spectrum.

It's not really recorded music in the physical

But it is felt that streaming can help younger listeners

Quite a lot of people at uni buy vinyls.
