The so-called Islamic State group says one of its followers carried

:00:00.:00:00.

out the Turkey nightclub attack that killed 39 people.

:00:07.:00:12.

New pictures of the wanted gunman emerge.

:00:13.:00:14.

He's been on the run since the shootings on New Year's Eve.

:00:15.:00:21.

The funerals have been held today of some of the victims.

:00:22.:00:24.

Most of those who died were foreigners.

:00:25.:00:27.

We'll be live in Istanbul with the very latest.

:00:28.:00:33.

Also on the programme: A second girl has died after a hit-and-run

:00:34.:00:36.

Prices rise above inflation again, with the Government saying it'll

And plans for new garden towns and villages take

:00:43.:00:48.

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

:00:49.:01:14.

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

:01:15.:01:18.

which killed 39 people and wounded scores of others.

:01:19.:01:21.

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

:01:22.:01:24.

Officials have now identified all but one of the victims,

:01:25.:01:29.

Some of their funerals have been taking place today,

:01:30.:01:34.

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

:01:35.:01:59.

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

:02:00.:02:04.

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

:02:05.:02:10.

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

:02:11.:02:16.

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

:02:17.:02:23.

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

:02:24.:02:26.

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

:02:27.:02:31.

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

:02:32.:02:36.

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

:02:37.:02:41.

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

:02:42.:02:45.

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

:02:46.:02:50.

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

:02:51.:02:55.

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

:02:56.:03:00.

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

:03:01.:03:05.

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

:03:06.:03:10.

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

:03:11.:03:13.

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

:03:14.:03:22.

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

:03:23.:03:27.

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

:03:28.:03:30.

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

:03:31.:03:35.

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

:03:36.:03:41.

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

:03:42.:03:48.

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

:03:49.:03:53.

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

:03:54.:04:01.

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

:04:02.:04:07.

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

:04:08.:04:12.

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

:04:13.:04:19.

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

:04:20.:04:24.

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

:04:25.:04:28.

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

:04:29.:04:32.

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

:04:33.:04:37.

nation that fears it can't escape from terror.

:04:38.:04:41.

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

:04:42.:04:47.

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

:04:48.:04:51.

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

:04:52.:04:55.

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

:04:56.:04:59.

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

:05:00.:05:03.

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

:05:04.:05:07.

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

:05:08.:05:14.

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

:05:15.:05:17.

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

:05:18.:05:20.

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

:05:21.:05:23.

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

:05:24.:05:29.

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

:05:30.:05:34.

is consolidating its cells here, carrying out more attacks and

:05:35.:05:37.

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

:05:38.:05:40.

with campaigners calling the 2.3% increase in England,

the rise is below average wage increases, and the money

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

:07:55.:07:59.

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

very started well. With the exception

:08:07.:08:08.

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

expensive from today. Season tickets, which are set

:08:13.:08:19.

by the Government, go up by 1.9%. Still considerably more

:08:20.:08:24.

than inflation at the moment. Even allowing for inflation,

fares have risen by a quarter People aren't getting paid more

:08:37.:08:41.

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

:08:55.:09:07.

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

:09:08.:09:10.

lot happening. Billions of pounds are being spent.

:09:11.:09:14.

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

:09:15.:09:20.

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

:09:21.:09:23.

But passenger groups say that new investment should not mean higher

:09:24.:09:27.

fares. There is a huge amount coming

:09:28.:09:29.

in from the passengers, That should buy improvements

:09:30.:09:31.

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

:09:32.:09:37.

the wider public may welcome the increases,

:09:38.:09:45.

because taxpayers are shouldering less of the cost of running

:09:46.:09:47.

the railways than they were. It means that commuters

:09:48.:09:49.

are shouldering more. And campaigners are calling

:09:50.:09:51.

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

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

:11:15.:11:24.

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

:11:25.:11:26.

He said: Len McCluskey later tweeted that

:11:27.:11:51.

Jeremy Corbyn still had his full support. Jeremy Corbyn was

:11:52.:11:56.

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

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

:12:46.:12:54.

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

:12:55.:12:56.

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

:12:57.:12:58.

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

:12:59.:13:01.

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

:13:02.:13:04.

and by the time time the authorities had regained

:13:05.:13:07.

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

:13:08.:13:09.

Correspondent Wyre Davies contains Local television showed women and

:13:10.:13:20.

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

:13:21.:13:25.

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

:13:26.:13:34.

largest jail in Manaus involved rival gangs attacking each other

:13:35.:13:37.

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

:13:38.:13:46.

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

:13:47.:13:52.

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

:13:53.:14:01.

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

:14:02.:14:09.

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

:14:10.:14:14.

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

:14:15.:14:20.

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

:14:21.:14:24.

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

:14:25.:14:30.

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

:14:31.:14:34.

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

:14:35.:14:40.

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

:14:41.:14:50.

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

:14:51.:14:58.

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

:14:59.:15:00.

system is in desperate need of reform.

:15:01.:15:03.

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

:15:04.:15:06.

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

:15:07.:15:09.

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

:15:10.:15:11.

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

:15:12.:15:24.

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

:15:25.:15:32.

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

:15:33.:15:38.

commuter location. The Government wants them to be new garden

:15:39.:15:42.

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

:15:43.:15:47.

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

:15:48.:15:51.

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

:15:52.:15:57.

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

:15:58.:16:05.

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

:16:06.:16:12.

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

:16:13.:16:16.

developed to take the overflow of people from London and the

:16:17.:16:20.

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

:16:21.:16:27.

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

:16:28.:16:32.

built on 14 sites at various locations across England. From

:16:33.:16:39.

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

:16:40.:16:46.

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

:16:47.:16:51.

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

:16:52.:16:54.

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

:16:55.:17:02.

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

:17:03.:17:06.

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

:17:07.:17:10.

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

:17:11.:17:15.

swallow existing communities, but the government says they could

:17:16.:17:18.

provide 48,000 much needed new homes.

:17:19.:17:22.

There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel,

:17:23.:17:26.

and I'll be back with the late news at Ten.

:17:27.:17:28.

Now on BBC1, its time for the news where you are.
