hello, good afternoon. the bbc has been told the owner of leicester city football club was on board the helicopter that crashed and burst into flames only minutes after taking off from the team's stadium last night. it's believed there were five people on board includng people on board including vichai srivaddhanaprabha. he bought leicester city eight years ago, pouring millions of pounds into the club which helped them win the premier league two years ago. sima kotecha is at king power stadium this lunchtime. sima. the mood here is sombre indeed. it's been a devastating 16 hours or so for the club, the fans and for the city itself. leicestershire police still haven't confirmed who was on board that helicopter. it says it's working closely with other emergency services to ascertain exactly what happened and why. a warning, my report contains some flash photography. the scene today,

helicopter wreckage after the crash yesterday evening. an hour or so after the final whistle, this. a huge fireball. people stand, in shock, we will did. 0h, huge fireball. people stand, in shock, we will did. oh, my god. i helicopter hasjust shock, we will did. oh, my god. i helicopter has just crashed next to the stadium. the bbc understands the chairand the stadium. the bbc understands the chair and owner of leicester city football clu b chair and owner of leicester city football club was on board. vichai srivaddhanaprabha has been in charge since 2010. it's still not clear who else was with him. he'sjust been so fantastic all—round, the financial backing was wonderful, we won the league, except but it's more the local stuff as well, the things he's done with the community, general donations to the hospital, the stuff he's done for the fans. today, flowers, tea rs he's done for the fans. today, flowers, tears and tributes. we still go on, carry on fighting, try

and get to the top of the premier league table just for him. eyewitnesses told us the helicopter lost control midair and was only in the sky for a matter of seconds. the crash happened over there, just behind the stadium. people rushed towards it to try to help those inside the helicopter, security staff attempted to stop them and maintain order. leicester city had played west ham last night, they drew1—1. like played west ham last night, they drew 1—1. like after most mergers involving leicester city, vichai srivaddhanaprabha was picked up from the pitch by helicopter, he was usually taken back to his home in london. the club has flourished under his ownership, two years ago it won the premier league against all odds. now, fans in mourning as they tried to come to terms with what happened. the chancellor, philip hammond, has said tomorrow's budget would have to be followed by an emergency budget in the event

of a no—deal brexit. he's warned future plans for government spending — that he'll outline to parliament — are contingent on britain and the eu reaching a deal. here's our political correspondent peter saull. when a chancellor delivers a budget, the contents of his red box normally become a reality but these are not normal times. to date philip hammond admitted that aid no deal breaks it would force a rethink. if there was an unexpected turn of events the right—wing to do would be to revisit for we right—wing to do would be to revisit forwe are, right—wing to do would be to revisit for we are, decide how best to respond, that depends on what the markets are doing, the circumstances of the moment but the important point is i have got fiscal reserves that would enable me to intervene. while some think the impact of leaving the eu loss of sound, labour

believes that scenario should be avoided at all costs. i'm deeply worried, i've seen interviews from apartment today, loss of sound, no deal breaks it and i'm really worried about that, it's the worst of all options, it could damage the economy, underminejobs of all options, it could damage the economy, undermine jobs and we'll do everything we can to make sure we get a deal that will protectjobs and the economy. philip hammond is a naturally cautious chancellor and he already had this to live up to. decade after the financial crash people need to know that the austerity could lead to is over and that their hard work has paid off. labour willjudge the budget against that art, so for mike chancellor lashed the cash? why are the next tax receipts give him some wriggle room, will be a bit of extra spending on roads, major routes and fixing wattles on local streets. some conservatives think money is needed to help fix universal credit. and this morning a hint of the

chancellor is listening. it's absolutely right we proceed this structural reform, notjust loss of sound at its also a key element of creating an economy that works for the future and gets people into work. of course there have been teething issues along the way. the pressures on the chancellor to signal a change in direction. the suspect in the mass shooting at a synagogue in the united states has been charged with 11 counts of murder. robert bowers, who's a6, is being treated for several gunshot woulds in hospital after surrendering to gunshot wounds in hospital after surrendering to police following the shooting in pittsburgh. it's emerged he has a history of posting anti—semitic material on social media, as gary o'donoghue reports. singing. just a few short hours after the hate—filled murder of 11 jewish worshippers, hundreds of people from this community came to grieve and to comfort one another. some chose to speak up, some just to stand and remain silent, all still in shock and disbelief

over the horror of what had taken place. all day, the police were at the scene of the shooting, meticulously gathering their evidence. the sheer scale and brutality of the crime becoming clearer by the minute. i just found out that i have a friend that was shot. i don't really know her status other than she is ok. it sickens me, because this is a close—knit, you know, neighbourhood and there is no doubt that there are going to be people on that list that i know. later in the evening, robert bowers was indicted, with 29 separate charges laid against him. many accusing him of murder motivated by religious hatred. announcer: donald] trump.

in ‘banter‘ with his staff. our business correspondent joe miller is here. joe, what's he been saying. he has again vigorously denied any illegal behaviour and says the allegations that have surfaced at nonsense. he's had a resort in arizona, that's for the newspaper tracked down, he told them he'd been in business are something like a0 yea rs in business are something like a0 years and had occasionally engaged in what he called banter but never meant for it to cause offence and if he had deemed to have done so he was happy to apologise but strikingly he did not elaborate on why if there had been wrong doing he tried to stop the daily telegraph public —— publishing allegations and start—up and appeared to sign effectively gagging orders. it is the first time we've heard them talk about the effect it's had on his personal life, he said it had been worst week of his life and he felt like he was

being used as target practice by his accusers. thank you. the former england and tottenham manager glenn hoddle remains in a serious condition in hospital after suffering a heart attack. hoddle was appearing on bt sport on his 61st birthday, when he collapsed on set. his family have released a statement saying he is responding well to treatment and they are especially grateful to staff at bt sport, who treated him immediately after he fell ill. that's it. the next news on bbc one is at 5:15 this afternoon. bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. let's get more now on the arrest of a a6—year—old man in connection with the shooting of 11 people inside a synagogue in pittsburgh. federal prosecutors says
