A number of arrests have been made, but the hunt continues for the gunman who opened fire. Officials have now identified all but one of the victims, saying most were foreign nationals. Some of their funerals have been taking place today, as mark lowen reports from istanbul. It is slowly sinking in. Grief binding together a nation pulled apart by terror. They mourned 23 year old yunus gormek, killed in the attack on the reina nightclub. A student working there for new years 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, thats all. And i said my last goodbyes to one of my friends. Telling, 0k, goodbye, thats all, i love you. You thought that was the end . Yes, that was the end. And i thought because the Gun Shootings stopped, and then i was thinking myself, he is going to, i think hes going to explode himself, and were going to die in the toilets, in the bathroom. Including yunus, 39 people were killed. And the stories are emerging. Fatih cakmak, who survived last months bombing at a Football Stadium in istanbul, but died in this attack. Rita sami from lebanon, who told her friend she was worried about coming to istanbul, but had already booked and paid. And mustafa seymen, recently engaged.

His pictures now released. The Islamic State group said they were behind it, in revenge for turkeys attacks in syria. Most of the dead and injured were tourists. Francois 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, lebanese passport, save me, save my heart. Perched on the bosporus, reina had a prime location, an attack giving him prime exposure. From here, you can see how high profile, how luxurious the target was. Reina was a symbol of the high life side of istanbul, where alcohol flowed and parties ran late. Its an element of the city that many turks and foreigners cherish, but they now fear is under threat. Its now an urgent race to catch the man who destroyed so many lives. It cant escape from terror.

The first 1a areas in england to be selected for so called Garden Villages have been announced, in a bid to create Tens Of Thousands of new homes. Three, larger, garden towns have also been approved for buckinghamshire, somerset and the Essex Hertfordshire border. The new villages must include green spaces and good transport links. The government says that the plans will help provide vital homes. But rural campaigners have warned there is still strong opposition to some of the projects. Taunton is one of the three locations to become one of the large scale garden towns. From there, Dickon Hooper reports. Somersets county town of taunton is 110w somersets county town of taunton is now an official garden town which means it has unlocked £350,000 to push forward sustainable development. The idea of this pot of money is to enable better advice, better consultation, access to other pots of money and other funds so that the Housing Developments that we bring forward become far more sustainable, far more pleasant places to live. The plan is to build new distinct with 8000 new homes. Alongside, crucially, good transport, green spaces and local facilities. We have three and a half thousand people in taunton on the waiting list for starters. People who want to live here work is so infrastructure is important to us. We have the railway, motorway, Employment Sites were trying to develop. It is notjust about housing it is about the town itself and place making. We are proud of oui and place making. We are proud of our town and we would like to improve it. The residents we spoke to agreed it can notjust be about housebuilding. Hospital, school, etc. The roads. You know. You need that as well as houses . Yes. My family had a struggle to get into a school down the road from us but they are building houses. We need schools. Too many developments. Not in my backyard. If everybody said that, we would never have any houses. I dont care. This will unlock funding for taunton and tension will soon pass to the town centre. Next on the list for development. Earlier i spoke to grant shapps, the local mp for Welwyn Garden City one of the britains first Garden Cities and a former Housing Minister in David Camerons government. What we have to do and i regret not doing more of it when i was Housing Minister is think how were going to produce another1 million or 2 million homes but on a much larger scale and notjust confining it to the south east but looking at part of the country which need greater populations. And would benefit from and want to have the additional housing. What were talking about here is building an entity, a town, a village. There is so much more that will be needed. How do you or how should the government be thinking about this and approaching it to ensure that they dont become enormous Housing Estates . Yeah, i mean, look, youre absolutely right. I represent Welwyn Garden City and its the second, no disrespect to letchworth, but that was the experiment and i jokingly say Welwyn Garden City was the one that got it right, but its a fantastic experiment because you get this mix of working and playing all within the same town. You get it right and it absolutely works. What has happened far too much including during the time when i was Housing Minister is that you get these estates that are boxlike houses, very little heart to the centre of the community, no real thought to the way that community is going to interact and itjust becomes a soulless place to live. What we should be doing instead is learning from, there are only two real Garden Cities, letchworth and Welwyn Garden City and other things like hampstead garden suburb, we should learn from those type of experiment and then build on them for the 21st century. That was grant shapps. Shaun spiers the Chief Executive of the Campaign To Protect Rural England welcomed the governments proposals of building the infrastructure of these Garden Villages. If what the government are saying is, lets try to build communities, that get the infrastructure in place and the schools in place, lets not just plonk Housing Estates down with all the Community Tension and extra commuting that goes on at the moment, if they are genuine about proper placemaking, that is a welcome. So you would agree with the idea of the development of these new towns then . We are open to it. What is happening at the moment is that all over the country there are these new Bland Estates Being Plonked down on villages, uproar in england over villages facing multiple applications for new estates all around them, some really unsatisfactory development. What is happening is a combination of too few houses being built and too much countryside lost. So to start and say were going to plan to build some decent communities is a good start. Grant shapps says, if you just add the word garden onto a development it doesnt make it lovely. We need to look at the proposals in a lot of detail. What i dont want to do is say a churlish it must be rubbish, but actually we think there are so many problems with the Planning System at the moment that if the government is saying there will be some decently planned well located developments, that is a good late to start. Rail fares have increased today with campaign is calling the increase in england, scotland and wales a kick in the teeth. The government says the rises below average wage increases and the money is intended to of the network. Joe lynam reports. If you have to pay out thousands of pounds for a rail season ticket, your new year has not started very 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 over the past 22 years. People are not getting paid more money. I dont think the Train Workers are getting paid more money. So where is the money going . It is a disgrace, particularly as the railways arent efficient. You know, theres always delays. Its making me feel disappointed, angry, not a great start to 2017. The latest rises will especially sting commuters, who have had to put up with strikes and punctuality problems, insufficient seating and the impact of the weather. But the government says it is an unprecedented modernising programme. Around the rail network, there is a lot happening. Billions of pounds being spent. Nobody wants to see a fare increase, but costs rise and pay rises. Fares are rising less fast than wages. So at least that is a step in the right direction. But passenger groups say investment should not always mean higherfares. There is a huge amount coming in from us passengers, about £9 billion that year. That should be buying lots of improvement without price rises. There should be more efficiencies. While passengers may baulk at this latest fare increase, the wider public may welcome them, because taxpayers are shouldering less of the cost of running the railways than they were. It means of course that commuters are shouldering proportionately more. And campaigners are calling for a totalfreeze in railfares, which they say has become disconnected from the service that they get. Joe lynam, bbc news. West Yorkshire Police say an incident on the m62 that has closed part of the motorway for several hours tonight has been referred to the police watchdog.

The leader of unite, len mccluskey, says mr corbyn should be given time to prove himself, and he wouldnt try to cling on to power. Heres our Political Correspondent ben wright. He is one of mr corbyns most powerful backers and hes hoping to be re elected as the leader of unite. The truth is everyone would examine the situation including Jeremy Corbyn. Jeremy corbyn was re elected in september but many of his own mps remain in despair at the partys performance. Len mccluskey later tweeted that Jeremy Corbyn continued to have his full support. Jeremy corbyn was re elected in september but many of his own mps remain in despair at the partys performance. And the tussle going on within the union reflects arguments going on within labour about mr corbyns competence and where the party should stand on immigration and brexit. We have to refocus our unions activity. Gerard coyne is campaigning against len mccluskey. He accused the Labour Secretary of being a puppet master. The control of borders is very important to them. It was one of the key issues as to why they voted exit in the referendum. And actually they would feel very betrayed if that promise was not now delivered upon. Len mccluskey also said labour must get it right on immigration or risk losing ground to ukip. The contest for unites future will have a bearing onJeremy Corbyns too.
