is at the king power stadium. we can see the extraordinary carpet of tributes laid out behind you and people are still coming to the stadium, to pay their respects, it is an indication of what impact he had made as chairman of the club. yes, absolutely, shaun, you can see as you say, the sea of flower, of football shirt, football banners, flags, that are here outside the king power stadium that has been growing and growing throughout today. a measure of the deep respect that people had for him here in leicester and elsewhere as well. we know that in the past hour, leicestershi re know that in the past hour, leicestershire police have tweeted saying please be patient, we know that there is intense speculation, and lots of interest in this story about what happened, what exactly

happened and who was onboard that helicopter but they say they are working with many different agencies and they will have an update as soon as they can. at the moment we don't have that confirmation of how many people were on the helicopter, exactly who was there, we just know that it took off, as it often did, about an hour post match last night, from the centre circle of the pitch here it seemed to take off, eyewitnesses say, in a normal man, it got out over the ground, but it then came crashing down, at car park e. then came crashing down, at car park e, the opposite side of the stadium from where i am now, that is where the work has been focussed. air zenit investigators have been there and the authorities concentrate oceanen that burnt out wreckage we have been able to say today. but here, is where the concentrated activity for the fans has been, and just really extraordinary scenes of people just standing silently,

people just standing silently, people crying, people laying flower, talking about the immense amount of respect they had for the owner who took over in town 10. the family has ploughed more than 100 million into this club but it is notjust about the money they say, it is about the ca re the money they say, it is about the care and love with which they have taken the football care and love with which they have ta ken the football team care and love with which they have taken the football team and made it so taken the football team and made it so much better of course, a fairy tale to win the premier league in 2016. it is about bringing the community together, one fan told me there is, they were due to play, we don't know whether that will happen, due to play cardiff city on saturday, away, and actually every time there was an away match a brea kfast would time there was an away match a breakfast would be laid on for any of the away supporters travelling, they would come here to the king power, they would have their brea kfast power, they would have their breakfast before they all travelled together. that is the kind of story we have been hearing, that is why so many people say they felt the need to be here today, again, they are all awaiting news, but they are already starting to grieve.

thank you. the suspect in the mass shooting at a synagogue in the united states has been charged with 11 counts of murder. authorities in pittsburgh say they have identified all the victims — the eldest was 97 years old. the suspect , robert bowers is being treated for several gunshot wounds in hospital after surrendering to police following the shooting . if convicted he could face the death penalty. it's emerged he has a history of posting anti—semitic material on social media, as gary 0'donoghue reports. 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 that she is ok. it sickens me, because this is a close—knit 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. donald trump was out campaigning in illinois, announcing his intention to travel to pittsburgh in the coming days. he's also ordered flags to be flown at half—mast on the white house and other federal buildings for the next four days. this evil, anti—semitic attack is an assault on all of us. it's an assault on humanity. later, the names of those who died will be released and the fbi

are expected to answer questions about how someone with such a flagrantly anti—semitic online presence wasn't picked up. the authorities here sayjustice will be swift and severe, but for the jewish community of squirrel hill, it's going to take a long, long time to come to terms with how someone could commit such a hate—filled crime. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, pittsburgh, pennsylvania. speaking at a news conference, the president of thejewish federation of greater pittsburgh, jeff finkelstein, said they would do everything to help those affected. i've seen this room a lot of times on tv, and i never thought i'd be at this podium. this is an awful, awful period for ourjewish community, and especially for the families who have been affected, and it's real once you hear the names. we're going to do everything we can to help the families, we're in the process of doing that now, and we'll be there for them and be there to help ourjewish community and the pittsburgh region

healfrom this. the chief of police for pittsburgh, scott schubert, praised the quick response of his officers in apprehending robert bowers, saying it ensured that more people weren't hurt. i still want to praise the officers for what they did. i mean, they ran into danger, they ran into gunfire, to help others. some of that's training, some of that's experience, but it's their inner core that wants them to help others, that wants to save lives, and they did that yesterday. so we want to praise them for that. the four officers that were injured, one was released yesterday, we're praying one will be released today and the other two have a little bit more that needs to be done. gary 0'donoghue is in pittsburgh.

we are getting to see, getting a rather painful and horrific picture about exactly what happened. it seemed round quarter to ten here yesterday morning, the suspect, the naming as robert bowers came here, entered this synagogue which has three congregation, three different congregations that meet here, this was the sabbath, there were religious services about to start. we understand that he shot and killed people from all three different congregation, while he was inside the building, he was in there for about 20 minutes, or inside the building, he was in there forabout 20 minutes, orso, he inside the building, he was in there for about 20 minutes, or so, he took with him, shaun, fourfirearms, three powerful handguns, and an ar15 automatic rifle. he took all that in

with him and used them all, incidentally. he used every one of them in there and eventually when he was trying to exit the building, the police arrived, there was a gun fight, he went back in side, we also know from the police that while he was shooting in there he was shouting anti—semitic slogan, jews must die he was shouting. talking about genocide, and those are things we understand he also repeated while in custody, in the hospital, while the medics there were trying to patch him up for the gunshot wounds he received from police officer, so there is more detail coming out. what we are also getting now, which is the thing that puts a tragic, evenif is the thing that puts a tragic, even if you say an even more tragic 9, even if you say an even more tragic e,a even if you say an even more tragic e, a hobble human dimention to the thing is the names of those who died. 11 people, eight men, three women, the youngest was 5a, his name was david rosen al. he lost a

brother, the eldest was 97, rose malinger. she died on her own doorstep effectively. there was a marry coupled in their 80, another man, 71, daniel stein. he hadjust become a grandfather. he was thrilled with that fact. all these communities, the neighbour, the friends, families, are going to have to spend a long time notjust mourning the people they have lost, the people who have been hurt, but trying to rationalise, come to terms with what drives an individual, to do something like this, on the basis simply of someone‘s origin and their religion. we simply of someone's origin and their religion. we were talking just last week about the danger of political language, inflaming people who already have disturbed minds, we have obviously the pipebombs with a man now in custody, having been

accused of sending those. president trump said on friday he thinks the media has some responsibility for kind of a coarsening of the language but others have turned that charge against the president himself. yes, they have. certainly in connection with those events last week, there we re with those events last week, there were a lot people who were ready to point the filming finger at the president, and the nature of his rhetoric and what atmosphere this creates for fringe elements if you like, but that has not happened so much with this this, i don't think. his condemnation has been very clear, the one controversial element of what he said is the idea that perhaps armed guards might have been able to stop this. that was responded to this morning by the mayor of pittsburgh, who said we can't just try and do mayor of pittsburgh, who said we can'tjust try and do things to make things horrendous crimes a bit less serious, that is not the point. he says you have to address the

underlying irrationality to stop these things, you isn'tjust in effect fiddle round the edges. thank you. let us talk now to guardian columnist jonathan freedland. hejoins me via webcam from central london. thank you for being with us, you spent four years as a newspaper correspondent in the united states, you reported on previous mass shootings, i wonder what your thoughts are on this one this weekend. like everyone, really, very dispirited, very glum. glum. the notion of a mass shooting is always horrific, there is something that feels like an extra violation about it being in a place that the people who were killed and wounded would have seen as a sanctuary, they were there to engage in prayer, they were there to engage in prayer, they were there to engage in prayer, they were there to celebrate a birth, a new arrival to that community, and as you heard from gary 0'donoghue, ode

old people, the oldest, the 97—year—old was a survivor of the holocaust, she thought she had come toa holocaust, she thought she had come to a haven and safe from anti—semitism, yet there was somebody who came in armed to the teeth says alljews must die asjews we re teeth says alljews must die asjews were scattered and hiding in basements and in attics, that has a horrible historical echo and so jewish communities are feeling tremendous pain and sorrow and probably fear after that. 7 we were talking to a rabbi from a different synagogue, who was acknowledging that you know recent years security has been tightened up, in synagogues even with where there has been no specific threat because of darkening of the atmosphere and mood. what do you kind of attribute that to if it is possible to? is it simply there is possible to? is it simply there is more availability for people who have always had the views who maybe

ekes pressed them within the home or expressed them when they are drinking with friends, or whatever, but now, possibly workmates, but they haven't had the opportunity that social media now provides. in terms of why there is security, if you go to anyjewish building in this country, there is security, thatis this country, there is security, that is because they, those buildings are under threat. they are targeted. that has happened in europe, in co—operative bank hagen, in toulouse, in paris, where the supermarkets and schools and synagogues, jewish museum if brussels and now we have to add pittsburgh to that list. the threat is rational, the fear is rational. 0n is rational, the fear is rational. on your point the social media and the media has acted adds a huge am plierfor anti—semitic the media has acted adds a huge am plier for anti—semitic and far right white supremacist rhetoric has a lwa ys white supremacist rhetoric has always been round, whereas it once may have been confined to poorly printed newspapers in dodgy book

shops or pub, now it is available at the click of a mourks it is just on your phonef the click of a mourks it is just on your phone f you want to read it. but i think there is a particular element in the united states at the moment which is this sort of hateful rhetoric gets an endorsement, and amplifierfrom rhetoric gets an endorsement, and amplifier from the very top, which is you have a president in donald trump, who echoes the themes, the tropes of white sprem self and particularly anti—jew self racism. he makes a bogey figure of george soros, he talks about global list, which is a code word used on the right about jews which is a code word used on the right aboutjews and it gets a kind of legitimacy when the president himself uses that language. we see in this country people struggling with how to deal with issues of that kind on the left, as well as on the right, president trump and his board say look, we haven't use, we haven't been directly anti—semitic about anybody, we are supportive of the

state of israel, how can these accusations be laid at the president's stall7 accusations be laid at the president's stall? they might say that, unfortunately the support for israel point is not, is distinct, because there are people who can be supportive of the state of israel, pa rly for supportive of the state of israel, parly for reasons i wouldn't applaud. they see it as a bulwark against muslims and a hostile to jews and you can see in all kinds of places, in central europe, so that doesn't get anybody off the hook. the important point with trump is the ideas, he is closing advertisement in 2016 was an ad that featured and none of these things happen by accident, a series of george soros was one, the head of the federal reserve was another. jewish figure, while the voice over did talk about globism and international capital. these are the old dupes that have been hammered out by the anti—jewish racist right

for decades if not century, he knows what he is doing, he even used the word globe list last night. we think that may mean globalisation, to anti—semites they know what that signal means. it is a dog whistle all of them here and understand and he channels it and mainstreams it by using it and george soros who is held up as this, he is a billionaire survivor of the holocaust, he is used as a face for accusation of conspiracy as if he is some sinister puppet master, anti—semites know what that mean, they understand it when it comes from the president.. i am not impressed by a few of the gestures he has made, about israel 01’ gestures he has made, about israel or the lip—service speeches he reads, i notice what he says and one of the things he said yesterday was

very telling, not when it was scripted, his first reaction was to blame this jewish community scripted, his first reaction was to blame thisjewish community itself, saying they should have had armed guards but they chose not to, as if it is between the lines it is kind of theirfault, the it is between the lines it is kind of their fault, the only people he had any warm words for were the police. he couldn't find it in himself to express empathy, sympathy, distress at the pape and anguish of fellow american citizens. the other aspect, and you touch on this as well. is the question of mass shootings, the thing we are not really used to in this country and people have been used to in the states, is that hearing the seeing the human scale of the action, that the human scale of the action, that the ricochet effect because the sheer numbers and the people with friends and families who are in mourning today because of this terrible end to their lives, shocking, shocking end to those lives and those injured as well. that doesn't seem then, still

doesn't seem to be a connection made for many in public like in the united states with the relative ease which it is to acquire many weapons. you mention my time as a correspondent in the united states, like a lot of brits who serve in that role, or anybody from aproffered, that was also the biggest gulf in understanding between me and them, between any outsider to that society, and america is this obsession with fetish even of notjust guns because ina way fetish even of notjust guns because in a way you could get your idea round the idea of handguns or sporting weapon, this man went in with military grade weapons, an ar5 an assault rifle, capable of killing people in very rapidly in huge number, and yes, there have been attacks on, you know, deranged people attacking schools in other countries in the world, and indeed attacks as i mentioned before on jewish targets but in those cases

the casualties are usually in the low single figures, in the different in america, it is somebody who is motivated by hate, able to kill people in the double digits and as we saw in las vegas in the high double dimming its and that is because of the ease of access to these deadly military grade weapons, when i was in the united states president then bill clinton passed an assault weapons ban and that reduced the scale of some of the shootings but republicans took over the congress and they overturned that ban and made it more easy for people, even people with historieses of mental illness, people who publicly posted on line messages of hate, they can walk in and buy these military weapons, easily, and that to me isa military weapons, easily, and that to me is a huge disconnect between us to me is a huge disconnect between us from the outside, and people in america, and i don't know how you ever bridge that divide but at some point you would think they would see

this as a huge part of a national mall lace, a national mall dithey are good afternoon. crystal palace have ended arsenal's 11—match winning streak. palace scored twice from the penalty spot — their first selhurst park goals this season — to earn a valuable 2—2 draw. james burford reports. for these fans too long without a goal. zaha had for too long carried all the responsibility but right from the start, there was a desire about the home side. their talisman left in acres of space, if only his shot had been initches to the right. sell health trust's first would finally be quenched a sigh of relief. seven hours without a goal, over. what we know about arsenal this season though, they score second

half goals and lots of them. shaka with a strike. this was a stroke of fortune, no hand ball given against lack accident. a 12 win in a row looking likely until za ha's lack accident. a 12 win in a row looking likely until zaha's trick which provided one more from the spot. the coolest man in the stadium. chelsea are still unbeaten this season — they put four past burnley at turf moor. the goals came from alvaro morata, ross barkley, wilian and ruben loftus cheek. all this without their star player eden hazard, who is injured. chelsea are up to second in the table for now. we manage the better than other matches, so at the end, it seems easy but not at the beginning, i

think that we played very well, so there was a consequence was performance. the weekend's results mean manchester united were tenth in the table before their match against everton. they kicked off at old trafford about 20 minutes ago. it is still 0—0 but manchester united that just been it is still 0—0 but manchester united thatjust been awarded a penalty. so they could be about to score, we will keep you up dated. martial taken down in the penalty area. so, a possible score on the cards then for manchester united. celtic booked their place in the scottish league cup final after three second half goals helped them to a comfortable win at scottish premiership leaders hearts. the second semi between aberdeen and rangers kicks off in around ten minutes. and there is just one game in rugby union's premiership rugby cup today. newcastle falcons are beating reiging champions exeter chiefs 22—15 at kingston park. there's just about 20 minutes left in that one. justin rose finished third

at the wgc champions tournament in shanghai. and he had an odd finish to his round on the 18th — shooting over the green, hitting the ball of america's xander shauffele and sending both balls into the water. shauffele went on to win the tournament after a play—off. elina svitolina has beaten sloane stephens in the wta finals to claim the biggest win of her career. it took 2 hours and 22 minutes, but the ukrainian came back from losing the first set to eventually win the match. svitolina won five out of five matches in singapore, becoming the first player to go unbeaten in the tournament since serena williams in 2013. and south africa's kevin anderson has won his fifth career title at the vienna 0pen, after beating japan's kei nishikori. it was disappointment again, though, for nishikori, who has now lost his 9th consecutive final since february 2016. that's all the sport for now.

don't forget that lewis hamilton has another chance to clinch the formula one championship this evening. a seventh place finish would be enough for a fifth title for hamilton. there'll be full coverage on radio five live from 6.30 this evening five live from 6.30 this evening and on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. manchester united had a penalty, pogba duly stepped up and scored, though he had to have a second try as it came off pickford. so it is 1-0 to as it came off pickford. so it is 1—0 to manchester united against everton at old trafford. more from me in the next hour, shaun. 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. today philip hammond admitted that a no—deal brexit would force a rethink. if there was an unexpected turn of events the right thing to do would be to revisit where 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 without a deal is overblown, labour believes that scenario should be avoided at all costs. i'm deeply worried. i've seen interviews from philip hammond todays, loss of sound, edging towards what he said a short while back, no—deal brexit, and i'm really worried about that. it's the worst of all options. it could damage our economy, undermine jobs, and we'll do everything we can in parliament 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. a decade after the financial crash people need to know that the austerity it led to is over and that their hard work has paid off. labour willjudge the budget against that bar, so where might the chancellor flash the cash? higher than expected tax receipts give him some wriggle room. there'll be a bit of extra spending on roads, both on major routes and fixing potholes on local streets. some conservatives think money is needed to help fix universal credit too. and this morning a hint the chancellor is listening. it's absolutely right we pursue this structural reform. notjust because it's a better welfare system but because it's also
