The so called Islamic State terror group says one of its militants was behind the new years eve Nightclub Attack in istanbul in which 39 people are known to have died. The authorities are continuing their hunt for the suspect, who escaped after opening fire on party goers. These are the latest pictures released by turkish police. Officials have now identified all but one of the victims, and they say nearly two thirds of them were foreign nationals. Funerals for some of those killed are being held today. From istanbul, our correspondent selin gerit reports. This is the gunman that has sent shock waves across the country. He is still at large, but now his motives could be a bit clearer. The so called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack at reina nightclub. In a statement, they said the shooting was carried out by a soldier of the caliphate in revenge for the turkishs governments strikes on Islamic State in syria. Eight people have been detained, but the gunman is not thought to be among them. In the area, some more funerals were held today. 25 of the victims are foreign nationals. Most were from middle eastern countries. A 29 year old actor from lebanon was among those shot. Hes grateful to be alive. We heard something. Likea gun. Shooting. After three or four seconds, we heard Something Like that. We slip on the floor. And he come. The man. And when we are slipping, he is on us. Security is still tight in istanbul. The wounds are open after a night of terror. The wounds are open after a night of terror. Life is farfrom normal yet. This place used to be one of the most popular nightclubs in istanbul. Now it is forever to be haunted. The gunman came by those doors and shot two people before rushing in. He fired up to 180 bullets, turning the venue into a scene of a massacre. Now people are concerned about what might follow next. The hope is this might be the last time this nation grieves for innocent lives lost. And Islamic State also says it ordered a suicide Car Bomb Attack in iraq in which 35 people were killed. The Suicide Bomber struck at an outdoor fruit and veg market in the Sadr City Part Of Baghdad a shiite neighbourhood. Its the second major attack in baghdad in three days. Police say a young man was killed in a deliberate house fire in east dunbartonshire, just hours after celebrating the new year with his girlfriend. Twenty three year old Cameron Logan had been out with his partner for hogmanay before returning to his family home in milngavie, on the edge of glasgow. His girlfriend is in a Critical Condition in hospital. Huw williams reports. Emergency services were called here just before 7 30am yesterday morning. The body of a man was found inside the house.

Fire investigators say the fire was started deliberately. They have called it targeted and wilful. They are appealing for anyone who has been in the area yesterday morning, jogging or walking past, to contact them with any information they may have seen. Somebody has died in a fire in a house, it must be one of the most scariest things which could happen to you. I cannot imagine. It must be horrible. I really feel for them. It looks as if they have lost their son. Police scotland say they will be maintaining a high profile presence at the scene. They say they are doing everything they can to trace the perpetrators and bring them to book. A Postmortem Examination will now take place to establish how Cameron Logan died. Police are treating his attack as murder and Attempted Murder for the attack on his girlfriend and parents. Campaigners are calling the latest hike in Railway Fares a Kick In The Teeth for passengers. Tickets in england, wales, and scotland go up by an average of 2. 3 from today. But the governments defended the hike, as our Business Correspondentjoe lynam reports. If you have to pay out thousands of pounds for a rail season ticket, your new year has not started well. With the exception of Northern Ireland, the average ticket will be 2. 3 more expensive. Season tickets go up by i. 9 . Still considerably more than inflation. Even allowing for inflation, fares have risen by a quarter over the last 22 years. It is a disgrace, particularly as the railways arent efficient. In terms of the increase, that is fair. It has to be paid. If that includes paying for our wages and people earn more money. The rises will sting commuters, who have had to put up with strikes and punctuality problems, insufficient seating and the impact of the weather. There is a lot happening. Billions are being spent. Nobody wants to see a fare increase, but costs rise and pay rises. Fares are rising less fast than wages so that is a step in the right direction. There is a huge amount coming in from the passengers, about £9 billion that year. That should buy improvements without price rises. There should be more efficiencies. The investment is great, but do the prices have to go up every year . 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 totalfreeze in railfares, which they say has become disconnected from the service that they get. One ofJeremy Corbyns closest allies has suggested the Labour Leader could step down if the partys fortunes dont improve before the next general election, due in 2020. Len mccluskey the head of britains Biggest Union, unite has described labours standing in the Opinion Polls as awful. Earlier i spoke to chris mason and asked him whetherJeremy Corbyn had any inkling these comments were coming. The honest answer is im not sure. We asked Jeremy Corbyn and his tea m sure. We asked Jeremy Corbyn and his team that time point and he didnt wa nt to team that time point and he didnt want to comment. It is hard to see at this stage how it is useful for Jeremy Corbyn. But a figure as big as Len Mccluskey within the labour movement, someone who has backed Jeremy Corbyn and defended him from criticism, and then backed him through the second leadership race that happened over summer, but when he now comes out and makes remarks to the daily mirror that are as critical as this, openly questioning how long you might list. He says if the Opinion Polls are still, awful, in 2019 everyone would examine that situation including Jeremy Corbyn. He says situation including Jeremy Corbyn. He Sasteremy Corbyn is not an egomaniac, desperate to king cling to power for power s sake. Egomaniac, desperate to king cling to powerfor power s sake. He is potentially putting a sell by date on the man he has backed. The usual criticism is thrown around, that they are blairites. It is seen as a criticism on the left of the labour movement. Nobody in a million years would attach that to Len Mccluskey. And because of all of that, a very public tit for tat has developed between mr mccluskey and one of the rivals for hisjob between mr mccluskey and one of the rivals for his job as leader of unite. And why is he saying this now . Len mccluskey is on the hunt for votes. The best part of the last couple of years he has been in the business of trying to attract votes forJeremy Corbyn. He is currently trying to attract votes to Len Mccluskey. There has been real criticism from his principal rival and the argument has been that for sometime he has been obsessing about Westminster Politics rather than prioritising the views of unite members. And his language in response to mr mccluskeys interview in the mirror, he says he is astonished at the public ultimatum to theJeremy Corbyn and mr mccluskey seems obsessed with being labours puppet master. Part of the difficulty about the position that the general secretary has adopted in relation to the labour party is that we have spent far too much time focusing on that. Im running for the general secretary of unite the union, not the general secretary of the labour party. And actually this year is the most significant year for discussions about how we exit the european union, and actually its the insecurity that our members face, not the insecurity of Jeremy Corbynsjob, that is the most important thing to me. And now, chris, Len Mccluskey has responded to that. He has. Hesjust put out a statement saying that unites democracy would not be safe in gerard coynes hands. His latest outburst is not an attack on myself as much as an labours activists. He is unscrupulously remarks show his campaign is not driven by concern for unite and its members, it is to buy the failed plotters in the labour party for whom unite would be Collateral Damage in their political project to billing back blairism. Hes not the politicians puppet. That gives you a sense of why this matters even if you are not one of the members of unite. This is a proxy war about the direction of the labour party and the extent to which the leader of the Biggest Union in the leader of the Biggest Union in the country should be seen to have a hotline to the current leader of the opposition. The headlines. A second girl has died following a hit and run in oldham on new years eve. Police have arrested four men. As funerals ta ke have arrested four men. As funerals take place in turkey for victims of the istanbul Nightclub Attack, police say they have detained eight people but are still searching for the main suspect. Police say a 23 drove man has been killed at a house fire started deliberately in glasgow. His partner is in a Critical Condition in hospital. 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. 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. Our correspondent Daniela Relph has been to one of the proposed locations at longcross, near cobham, in surrey. Well, over the next couple of years, the idea is that this area here in longcross in surrey, close to the m25, will be transformed into one of these 1a Garden Villages. Now, a Garden Village would have anything between 1500 and 10,000 new affordable homes. It would also have access to funds to develop green spaces and improve transport links. The locations announced by the government today, across england, scattered across england, from cumbria to derbyshire, stratford upon avon, suburban areas around london and down in devon and cornwall. And the idea is that they would create distinct communities. So these Garden Villages wouldnt just be extensions of what already exists, they would be distinct communities in themselves. And they would have access to around £6 million of Government Money over the next two years. Now, the labour party and some of those who have looked at the Housing Problem are wary of getting too excited about this project. They say, yes, if delivered, it will provide much needed new housing. But it quite simply isnt enough. Stephanie inglis was given a 1 chance of survival after a motorcycle accident. People raised money to get her back home. Backing the german working her way back to new health. Last summer, Stephanie Ingalls was in a coma with a serious brain injury. Hertraining ingalls was in a coma with a serious brain injury. Her training to become an elite athlete, she says, made a real difference to the speed of her recovery. The doctors have told me that if it wasnt for the fact that i was physically so strong and fit before my recovery would not have been so good. It is because of my background that has helped boost my recovery. Stephanie had been in vietnam teaching english when she was injured while travelling on a mike motorbike taxi. She will this teaching her class but little else of that day and nothing from the after. Now it is about looking ahead. I dont want to let myself get down. I havent cried since i do get down. I havent cried since i do get about the accident because i think it is a waste of time. If i spend time feeling down or feeling sorry for myself it could be easy for my to do that, but it wont help my progression and could set me back. So i tend not to dwell on it. Years of training led stephanie to a place on the podium at the last Commonwealth Games. That drive and determination is still evident. What did ancient civilisations believe that the sun . Her sister said stacey is helping with her with exercises. Shes doing speech and language and gets work to do and gets me to give a hand. It is good because of that. Is she a hard task master . She can be. She can be. But its good. With this support from her friends and family, stephanie has one ambition firmly in mind. My longterm goal is to get back into sport and compete in the next Commonwealth Games in judo, in 2022.
