The so-called Islamic State group claims one of its followers

was behind the New Year's Eve nightclub attack in Istanbul,

which killed 39 people and wounded scores of others.

A number of arrests have been made, but the hunt continues

Officials have now identified all but one of the victims,

Some of their funerals have been taking place today,

It is slowly sinking in. Grief binding together a nation torn apart

by terror. They mourned 23-year-old man killed in the attack on the

Reina nightclub. A student working there for New Year's Eve, who was

simply in the wrong place. At his funeral, his colleague. She took

refuge from the gunman in the bathroom. I was in the toilet. The

electricity went out. And I was like, yes, OK, that's all. And I

said my last goodbyes to one of my friends. I was like, OK, goodbye,

that's all, I love you. You thought that was the end? Yes, that was the

end. And I thought because the gun shooting is stopped, and then I was

thinking myself, he is going to, I think he's going to explode himself,

and we're going to die in the toilets come in the bathroom.

Including this man, 39 people were killed. And the stories are

emerging. This man survived last month's bombing at a football

Stadium in Istanbul, but died in this attack. Rita from Lebanon told

her friend she was worried about coming to Istanbul, but had already

booked and paid. And Mustafi, recently engaged. His fiancee wrote,

I lost my other half, my partner, my love. The attack took just seven

minutes. After shooting his way into the nightclub, the gunman sprayed

180 bullets. He is still on the run. His pictures now released. The

Islamic State group said they were behind it, in revenge for Turkey's

attacks in Syria. Most of the dead and injured were tourists. This man

from Lebanon was shot, but had an incredibly lucky escape. The first

bullet came from here. It passed from here, and the explosion,

something explosion, and it passed by here. And it come here, but the

passport, the Lebanese passport, save me, save my heart. Perched on

the Bosporus, Reina had a prime location, and attack giving him time

exposure. From here, you can see how high profile and luxury is the

target was. Reina was a symbol of the high life side of a stumble, an

element of the city that many Turks and foreigners cherish, but now the

is under threat -- the highlight of Istanbul. It is now an urgent race

to catch the man who destroyed so lives. And to try to reassure a

nation that fears it can't escape from terror.

Mark, some arrests have been made, but the gunman is still on the

loose. What's the latest in the investigation? Police have now

detained eight people in connection with the attack here. And they say

that with forensic evidence and with a basic description of the attacker,

they believe they are close to identifying him. As for the claim of

responsibility by so-called Islamic State, that is highly unusual here.

The group has never claimed any of the half a dozen or so attacks that

the Turkish authorities believe they carried out here in Turkey over the

past year. So why the change of tactic was Mike possibly because the

head of IS has publicly urged his followers to attack Turkey, the acts

are now in a sense officially sanctioned. As one security source

told me, as the group by begins to lose territory in Iraq and Syria, it

is consolidating its cells here, carrying out more attacks and

plotting attacks here that could be carried out elsewhere, there for

exporting terror from Turkey to the West. Thank you, Mark Lowen in

Istanbul. And the so-called Islamic State

group has also claimed responsibility for a suicide

on suspicion of causing death Rail fares have gone up today,

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 Here's our Business

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

of pounds for a rail season ticket, your New Year has not

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 People aren't getting paid more

money. I don't think the train workers are getting paid more money.

So where is the money going's I think it is a disgrace, particularly

as the railways are not that efficient. Where is the money

going's The rises will sting commuters,

who have had to put up with strikes and punctuality problems,

insufficient seating but the Government says it is on an

unprecedented modernising programme. Around the rails at work, there is a

lot happening. Billions of pounds are being spent.

Nobody wants to see a fare increase, but costs rise and pay rises.

Fares are rising less faster than wages, so that is a step

But passenger groups say that new investment should not mean higher

fares. There is a huge amount coming

in from the passengers, That should buy improvements

without the need for price rises. While passengers may baulk,

the wider public may welcome the increases,

because taxpayers are shouldering less of the cost of running

the railways than they were. It means that commuters

are shouldering more. And campaigners are calling

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

allies has suggested the Labour leader could step down,

if the party's fortunes don't The leader of Unite, Len McCluskey,

says Mr Corbyn should be given time to prove himself,

and he wouldn't try to Here's our Political

Correspondent Ben Wright. He is one of Jeremy Corbyn's most

important, powerful backers and Len McCluskey is hoping to be re-elected

Unite's General Secretary in April. But today he suggested the Labour

leader has a sell by date and he was blunt about the party's popularity.

He said: Len McCluskey later tweeted that

Jeremy Corbyn still had his full support. Jeremy Corbyn was

re-elected in September, but many of his MPs remain in despair at the

party's performance and the tussle within the Unite union reflects

arguments in Labour about the party's competence and where the

party should stand. We have to refocus. Campaigning against Len

McCluskey is Gerard Coin. Not playing Westminster power

politics... He said union members Brexit to mean an end to migration.

The control of borders is important this them. It was one of key issues

as to why they voted exit. They would feel very betrayed if that

promise was not now delivered upon. Len McCluskey also said Labour must

get it right on immigration. The contest for Unite's future will have

a bearing on Jeremy Corbyn too. Around 60 inmates have been killed

in a prison riot in Brazil. The fighting broke out between rival

drug gangs at the jail in Manaus in the north of the country,

and by the time time the authorities had regained

control, dozens were dead. This report from our South America

Correspondent Wyre Davies contains Local television showed women and

family members crying, screaming outside the jail as the riot broke

out during visiting hours on new year's day. The violence at the

largest jail in Manaus involved rival gangs attacking each other

with weapons smuggled into the prison. There were reports of rival

gang members being tortured and even being decapitated. Many of Brazil's

jails are in effect run by criminal gangs with the prison authorities y

unwilling or unable to counter act the power of the criminal bosses. As

night fell, reports emerged that the violence being committed inside.

TRANSLATION: My son is an inmate and the police won't care about him. I

want to know how my son's is. This is a bullet. A local security

official said the death toll could be as high as 60. TRANSLATION: There

were deaths unfortunately, we have some outside the prison who were

thrown from the prison by the inmates. There have been escapes. We

don't know how many. We are already looking for the escaped people.

Riots and gang-related violence are common in Brazil. Some sort of order

has been restored, but this was more proof that Brazil's broken prison

system is in desperate need of reform.

The government has announced plans to build 17 new so called 'garden'

towns and villages across England, to ease the housing shortage.

The locations from Cumbria to Cornwall, are part of a scheme

to build an extra 200,000 new homes, as Daniela Relph reports.

The new developments will come in different shapes and sizes. This one

will be in Stratford on Ah Van. Another site in Surrey, is a prime

commuter location. The Government wants them to be new garden

villages, filled with affordable housing and new facilities. Many of

the locations announced are close to bigger established founds. But the

Government wants the garden villages to be distinct places, where their

own communities. To some, the plans confirmed today will sound familiar.

With more than 400 of the planned 2,000 homes ready, Harlow new town

is ready for the switch on. These pictures show Harlow in 1951,

developed to take the overflow of people from London and the

government latest plans share some of the the same ideals. New town

will cover 150 acreses. The first of the new garden villages will be

built on 14 sites at various locations across England. From

Cumbria to Derbyshire and Devon and Cornwall. They will provide between

1,500 and 10,000 new homes and they will open up green spaces and

improve transport links. A total of ?6 million from the Government will

be provided to develop the new villages. They're a good first step

in the new concept, but they won't solve the housing supply problem. We

will need a lot more announcement and radical thinking to crack it.

Some of the villages face criticism that they're not needed or will

swallow existing communities, but the government says they could

provide 48,000 much needed new homes.
