this is bbc news i'm shaun ley. the headlines at five. leicester city fans are laying flowers at king power stadium this lunchtime, close to where a helicopter belonging to the club's owner crashed last night. ijust can't believe it. he has done a lot for the club and they are nice people. us officials say the man accused of murdering 11 people in a synagogue in pittsburgh made statements about genocide during the assault. the city's mayor called for unity. we will be here to help you through this horrific episode. we will get through this darkest day of pittsburgh's history i working together. chancellor philip hammond — who will present his budget tomorrow — says an end to austerity depends on what kind of brexit deal the country gets. glenn hoddle is "responding well" to treatment after suffering a heart attack on saturday. a spokesman for the former england manager and player said he remains in a serious condition in hospital.

lewis hamilton only has to get seventh place in the mexican grand prix to win the championship — the race starts just after seven and at 5:45 we'll take a look at bohemian rhapsody in the film review. 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 king power stadium last night. it's understood wee—chi sree—wata—na pruh—paa had been flying home after watching his team play west ham. leicestershire police have thanked

fans for their patience and say they're "working with a number of other agencies to get an update out to the public and press". many of those fans have been visiting the ground throughout the day to leave flowers and tributes to the man who bought leicester city eight years ago, pouring millions of pounds into the club and watching it win the premier league in 2016. it's still yet known who was on the helicopter when it crashed. our correspondent kathryn stanczyszyn is at the king power stadium where fans are gathering. the sea of flowers, football banners, flags that are here outside the stadium has just been growing throughout today, a measure of the respect. the deep respect that people had for him here in leicester and elsewhere as well and we know that in the past, hour, leicester police have tweeted saying please, be patient. we know there is intense

speculation and lots of interest in the story about what happened and what exactly happened last night and who was on board that helicopter. they say they're working with many different agencies and they will have an update as soon as they can because at the moment we do not have the confirmation of how many people were on the helicopter exactly, we just know that it took off about an hour post match last night from the centre of the pitch here. it seems to take off, eyewitnesses say, at an abnormal it seems to take off, eyewitnesses say, at a nomral manner it got over the ground, but then came crashing down sort of the opposite side of the stadium from where i am now and that is where the focus has been. throughout today, forensic teams as well and the authorities concentrating on that burnt out wreckage that we have been able to see from aerial footage today, but here is where the concentrated activity from the fans has been. just, really extraordinary scenes

of people to standing silently, people crying, people laying flowers here, people talking about the immense amount of respect they had for the owner and he took over in 2010, more than £100 million, but it is not just about the money they say, it is about the care and love and with which they have taken this football team and made it so much better. of course, just an absolute fairy tale to win the premier league ine 2016, but not this that by bringing the the premier league in 2016, but not this that by bringing the community together. and every time there was an away match, it would be laid down for any of these supporters in the games, would come here and have their practise before they travel together and that is the kind of story that

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 all starting to grieve. the suspect in the mass shooting at a synagogue in the united states has been charged with eleven counts of murder. authorities in pittsburgh say they have identified all the victims. the suspect, robert bowers, is being treated for several gunshot wounds in hospital after surrendering to police following the incident. earlier, our north america correspondent, gary 0'donoghue, sent this report from the scene in pittsburgh. we are seeing a rather painful and horrific picture about exactly what happened. around a quarter to ten here yesterday morning, the suspect robert bowers, came here at the religious service i was the buck to

start. we understand from police that he shot and killed people from all three different congregations while he was inside the building. he was in there for about 20 minutes or so, he took with him, fourfirearms, three powerful handguns and an aar 15 automatic rifle. any use to them all. he used every single one of his weapons while he was in there and eventually when he was trying to exit the building, the police arrived and there was a gunfight and he went back inside. we also learn from the police that while he was shooting in there, he was shouting anti—semitic slogans, he was talking about genocide and to those are things we understand he also repeated while in custody, and the hospital, while the medics are trying to patch them up from the gunshot wounds he had received from police officers. so there's a lot

more details coming out but we're getting now, which is a thing that puts a tragic, and even more tragic, horrible human dimension to the whole thing again. is that the names of those who died, 11 people, eight men and three women, the youngest was 5a, he lost a brother as well, they both died yesterday. the oldest was 97 years old. she lived in this neighbourhood and effectively died on her own doorstep, a married couple in their 80s and another man, a 70—year—old, he had just become a grandfather and he was absolutely thrilled with that fact and all of these communities, these neighbours, these communities, these neighbours, these friends, these families are 110w these friends, these families are now going to spend a long time, not this morning the people they have lost, but try to rationalize and come to terms with what drives an

individual to do something like this on the basis of simply someone‘s origin and their religion. the number of hit and run crashes has risen by almost half in the past four years, the bbc has learned. an investigation by 5 live investigates found there were more than 28 thousand cases last year in england and wales. road safety campaigners are calling for longer prison sentences. john maguire reports. his family described him as a gentle giant, but alfie 0'keefe hedges was just 16 years old when he was knocked off his moped by a hit—and—run driver in north london two years ago. they just left my son. they basically got out of the car and ran, and didn't even go out and hold his hand, sit with him, theyjust ran. theyjust ran and left him there to die. nine days after the collision, alfie died in hospital.

the driver pleaded guilty to careless driving and was sentenced to 12 months in prison. dangerous driving is what he should have been charged with and he should have got a lot longer sentence, but he didn't. i think it would've made a bit of difference to me, obviously, not my heartache, because that's never going to go away. but i would have felt something was... justice was done, something was done for my son, for him having his life taken like that. 27 of the 44 police forces in england and wales responded to a freedom of information request from the bbc. the figures show the number of times a driver or rider failed to stop after a collision rose from just over 19,200 five years ago to around 28,000 last year. that's an increase of 46%. but the total number of crashes has stayed broadly similar during the same time. the road safety charity brake says there needs to be a change

in sentencing policy. last year, the ministry ofjustice announced life sentences will be introduced for those who cause death by dangerous driving and said the government is committed to making sure the courts have sufficient powers to deal with driving offences. every hour in the uk someone is diagnosed with parkinson's disease. it's a degenerative disorder of the nervous system, causing tremors, slow movement and stiff muscles. new research has found almost half those taking a drug to treat the condition have gone on to develop compulsive behaviour — an addiction to such things as gambling, shopping, even sex. chris jackson reports. it was like careering downhill at breakneck speed on a toboggan with no brakes and no steering. trying to kid myself i was in charge of the situation and i knew i wasn't. after peter from teesside started treatment for parkinson's disease, he became obsessed with online betting. it felt like an out—of—body experience. it wasn't me, really. it was another me.

peter switched medicines and life is back on track. others have struggled. i lost £29,000. i even sold my child's playstation to get money to gamble. nothing was going to stop me. i lost my lovely house, kids and wife of 18 years. all gone down the drain for my fix. like all those with parkinson's disease, david's brain had become progressively damaged by a lack of dopamine — a key chemical for coordinating movement in the body. he had been prescribed a drug called ropinirole, part of a family of dopamine replacement medicines, which can have potentially serious side effects. what sort of things have you seen? gambling and hypersexual behaviour, compulsive shopping, obsessive hobbyism, baking. we have had patients doing something called punding, which is where you repetitively and purposely do tasks throughout

the day and the night. at this research centre they are fighting to find a cure for the disease. but, in the meantime, people with parkinson's will need drugs to alleviate the symptoms and it is claimed doctors need more time with their patients. we still hear from people affected by parkinson's that no one has told them about these consequences, and that is shocking. we hearfrom people who have gone bankrupt through their gambling, who have become homeless. unfortunately, clinicians in outpatient departments have limited time now, so maybe, sometimes, the conversation is about different things and the side effects of drugs falls off the radar. parkinsons uk says dopamine replacement therapies usually work well. the majority of patients will not develop an impulsive behaviour disorder. but doctors face a difficult balancing act if the drugs they have prescribed are to do more harm than the illness itself. the duke and duchess of sussex have been welcomed

to new zealand with a traditional maori greeting for the last stop on their 16—day tour. they performed a hongi, where they touched noses and foreheads with maori elders. 0ur royal correspondent jonny dymond sent this report. it seems like a pretty odd kind of greeting. but it was a maori welcome to new zealand for harry and meghan. harry braced for the challenge. he maintained eye contact all the way. harry braced for the challenge. he maintained eye contact all the way. he passed the test, and the welcome was complete. a moment of solemnity at new zealand's memorial to the fallen.

a reminder ofjoint sacrifice and shared history. and then time to meet the well—wishers gathered all around. thousands of people have waited on this chilly sunday afternoon to catch a glimpse of or, if they're lucky, have a chat with the royal couple. a more intimate chat for meghan in the evening with new zealand's prime minister. and a rallying cry for the rights of women. feminism is about fairness. suffrage is not simply about the right to vote but also about what that represents. the basic and fundamental human rights of being able to participate in the choices for your future and that of your community. new zealand may have come last on this royal tour but here again the couple were making their mark.

stay with us here on bbc news — in a moment, we'll be joining my colleague mishal husain and viewers on bbc one, for the latest developments from leicester and pittsburgh. the helicopter crash at leicester city — the club's billionaire owner was on board. vichai srivaddhanaprabha funded the club's rise up the premier league to become champions in 2016. the helicopter came down seconds after taking off from leicester's stadium — five people were on board. a man is charged in pittsburgh after the murder of 11 people at a synagogue — the deadliest attack on america's jewish community. ahead of budget day, the chancellor warns that a no—deal brexit would rip up his plan for the economy. and lewis hamilton aims to clinch his fifth driver's championship in mexico. 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 moments after taking off from the team's stadium last night. vichai srivaddhanaprabha is thought to have bene on board with four others. he bought leicester city eight years ago, pouring millions of pounds into the club — which helped it win the premier league title in 2016. sima kotecha's report contains flashing images. the scene today. helicopter wreckage after the crash yesterday evening. an hour or so after the final whistle, this. a huge fireball. people stunned, in shock, bewildered. oh, my god.

a helicopter‘s just crashed next to the stadium. the bbc understands the 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 came into the club. 0bviously invested heavily into the club. 0bviously took the club to new heights with winning the premier league title. but outside of that, he's also invested a lot of money locally, charity—wise. set up the foxes foundation, which has raised about £2 million. the mood here has been somber. the number of bouquets being left here has been steadily growing throughout the day. and fans have been shaking their heads in disbelief. tonight, leicester is grieving. among those paying tribute, members of the thailand international academy. i can't believe, suddenly, we are so sad.

we cannot sleep all night because yesterday we watched the game. after the game, we go back to hotel. and then we know the news, we cannot sleep. it's a big thing for leicester city, this. and he was the best, best bloke that you could have. he never went by you without acknowledging you. eyewitnesses have told us the helicopter lost control midair. leicestershire police say they are working with other emergency services to find out exactly what happened and why. leicester city had played west ham last night. this is the moment when vichai srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter was taking off after the game. the club has flourished under his ownership. two years ago, it won the premier league, against all odds. now fans are mourning, as they try to digest what happened here, in the most horrendous circumstances.

sima kotecha, bbc news, leicester. 0ur sports editor dan roan is at the king power stadium for us. there have been several high profile foreign owners of football clubs, what should we know about the leicester chairman? we are in a time where some overseas billionaire owners of english football clubs are criticised for not being visible enough, for not caring enough about theirfans or the enough, for not caring enough about their fans or the local unity. not at leicester city, not in the case of vichai srivaddhanaprabha. whether it was through mingling with supporters, he was a regular visitor at most home matches, or gestures like buying them beer 0k: his birthday, or donating millions of pounds to the local university and hospital. 0ver pounds to the local university and hospital. over the last eight years he has formed a very close bond with this community and burned the affection of an entire city. ——

earned. he will be remembered as the man who, two years ago, funded arguably the greatest fairy tale, the greatest underdog triumph in english football. despite starting the season as 5000—1 rank outsiders to win the premier league, they manage to do exactly that and redefine what was regarded as possible. two years ago i stood here and saw extraordinary scenes of jubilation. as the tributes pouring, it isa jubilation. as the tributes pouring, it is a different scene, one of shock and profound sorrow. the 46—year—old man suspected over the mass shooting at a synagogue in the united states has been charged with 11 counts of murder. robert bowers surrendered to police after the attack — the deadliest to target america's jewish community. it's emerged he has a history of posting anti—semitic material on social media. nick bryant has the latest from pittsburgh this is the kind of vigil that's become a recurring ritual of life in the united states.

a multi—faith act of ecumenicalism, a multi—generational act of community. but this country is facing a crisis of hate—filled violence, and america right now seems incapable of truly coming together. this latest mass shooting was a hate crime. jewish worshippers, killed in a hail of gunfire and an onslaught of anti—semitic slurs. 7—1, shots fired! give me additional resources. additional resources, third floor! the police have released recordings of their shootout with the gunmen. come on, we've got a guy barricaded, actively shooting at swat operators. all right, be advised, we have suspect giving us hands in view. we're negotiating surrender at this time. all units, hold what you got. 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. 46—year—old robert bowers entered the synagogue with an ar—15 assault rifle and at least three handguns. he spoke of genocide and his desire to killjewish people. his oldest victim was 97 years old. robert bowers' social media posts were full of anti—semitic rants, and just hours before the shootings he had been critical of a jewish refugee organisation. "i can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered", he wrote. "screw the optics, i'm going in." this area of pittsburgh is one of the most close—knitjewish communities in america. one of those places which speaks of the immigrant story. one of those places, according to rabbi chuck diamond, that's long felt vulnerable. i used to be the rabbi there. one of my biggest fears was always, in the back of my head, something like this happening. so, there's a lot of hate,

and when you mix hate with guns, it's not a good result. with congressional elections looming, donald trump has been switching awkwardly from campaign mode to condemnation. political rallies, the forum for his remarks. this evil, anti—semitic attack is an assault on all of us. it's an assault on humanity. mass shootings have become a permanent feature of life here. this weekend, it's pittsburgh's that's in mourning. sometime soon, it will be another american community, in another american city. nick bryant, bbc news, pittsburgh. we can speak to our north america editorjon sopel who's in washington. jon first a republican pipebomber targeting democrats, now an anti—semitic gunman targeting jews — what kind of repercussions could this have for political debate in america? there was another hate attack in

kentucky that got very little attention. what we have seen in the past week is the coming together of divisive rhetoric, hate crimes and the availability of guns. it is an unhappy cocktail. 0n guns, frankly, i don't see there will be any big changes as a result of what has happened in pittsburgh, what happened in pittsburgh, what happened in pittsburgh, what happened in kentucky. we have been here before. maybe on the issue of the rhetoric, something will change. donald trump cannot be blamed for what has happened, but it is entirely legitimate to ask whether divisive rhetoric is enabling extremists in america whose views are then amplified on social media. donald trump has tweeted that we must unite to conquer hate. but he has congressional elections coming up has congressional elections coming up injust has congressional elections coming up in just over has congressional elections coming up injust overa has congressional elections coming up injust over a week. the language of division is what you speak at rallies. is that going to change was to mark i don't think the augurs on that are particularly well. donald trump is setting bid setting up a

stall that there needs to be more unity, less eye for an eye and more turning the other cheek. 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 tomorrow — are contingent on britain and the eu reaching a deal. here's our political correspondent ben wright. it will look like a normal budget, but these are not normal times. if there is no brexit reached with the eu, the chancellor will have to write a new budget. 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 markets are doing, it depends on the circumstances of the moment. but the important point is i have got fiscal reserves that would enable me to intervene. it's not the only consideration for the chancellor. at the tory party conference last month, his boss made a bold pledge.

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. the question is how that pledge will be delivered and paid for in the coming years. the nhs has been promised billions more. many public services are reeling from eight years of cuts. and the chancellor is under pressure from his own mps to help fix the roll—out of universal credit. today, a hint from mr hammond that he is listening. in last year's budget i put a billion and a half pounds into trying to smooth some of the issues around transition from legacy system to universal credit. and where we see issues that need addressing, we will dress them. higher than expected tax receipts will allow the chancellor to spend a bit extra on things like road repairs and business rate relief. but, with no majority in the commons and a very fractious tory party, the ever cautious chancellor is unlikely to risk any radical budget moves. he knows, too, that a botched brexit

could capsize all his plans. that shadow chancellor said he was deeply worried. a whole callous complacency about what philip hammond is doing at the moment, on universal credit and a brexit at the moment, the implications for our community if there is a no deal, i think could be catastrophic. and he should be standing up now and saying there will always be a deal, and he will work with us if necessary to secure the deal. brexit frames this budget and big tax and spending decisions will be delayed until it's done. ben wright, bbc news. the billionaire businessman sir philip green has dismissed claims of sexual and racial harassment against him as nonsense. sir philip has told a sunday newspaper he has only ever engaged in "banter" with his staff. our business correspondent joe miller is here. what else has he said? as expected, he has vigorously denied that he was involved in any illegal behaviour. as you say, he has said that these

allegations that have arisen over the past few days are nonsense. he is ata the past few days are nonsense. he is at a health spa in arizona, where the mail on sunday tracked him down. he said he had been in business for 40 he said he had been in business for a0 yea rs he said he had been in business for a0 years and engaged in banterfrom time to time, but it was never meant to be offensive, and if it was taken as offensive he was happy to apologise. strikingly, he did not explain why, if there was not any wrongdoing, he had tried to get the daily telegraph blocked from reporting on these allegations on the basis that staff had been paid to sign nondisclosure agreements, which are effectively gagging orders. 0nce which are effectively gagging orders. once again, we heard from sir philip about how the scandal has affected his personal life. he said he felt like he was target practice for his accusers and said they had zero evidence. thank you very much. millions of brazilians are voting in the second round of the country's presidential election today. they're choosing between the far—right candidate jair bolsonaro and fernando haddad of the left—wing workers' party. while opinion polls have been narrowing in the past week,

mr bolsonaro is still the favourite to win. the election has been over—shadowed by corruption scandals and a knife attack on mr bolsonaro, who has been criticised for making racist, misogynist and homophobic remarks. with all the sport now, here's katherine downes at the bbc sport centre. will tonight be the night lewis hamilton claims his fifth formula 1 world title? he starts the mexican grand prix from third on the grid. a finish of seventh or better will see him crowned champion. john watson reports. driving his way into the history books. lewis hamilton stands on the cusp of a fifth world title. if sebastian vettel wins, seven places all he needs in mexico. he started third, with the red bulls of max verstappen and daniel ricciardo ahead of him. third place is a good place to start, you get a good tow

from the guys ahead. they will be fighting for position, but i am aware of them ahead. his title rival is the only man that can stop him. vettel starts from fourth. the german must win to keep the title race alive. hamilton is already the most successful british formula one driver of all time. he is on course to equal five world titles. the only man with moore is michael schumacher, who stands alone with the all—time record of seven. having missed the chance to wrap up the john bridger blast weekend, barring a major horror show in mexico there will be no shocks tonight. —— to wrap up the championship last weekend. the former england and tottenham manager glenn hoddle remains in a serious condition in hospital after suffering a heart attack yesterday. he working as a pundit for bt sport on his 61st birthday, when he collapsed. his family have released a statement saying he is responding well to treatment and they are especially grateful to staff who treated him immediately after he fell ill. chelsea have moved up to second in the premier league table after a a—0 win over burnley at turf moor. and crystal palace captain

luka milivojevic scored twice from the penalty spot to earn his side a dramatic 2—2 draw against arsenal, ending the gunners'11—game winning run. the 12 children who were rescued from flooded caves in thailand injuly are at old trafford today to watch manchester united play everton. the boys — who are members of a junior football team — were trapped in the caves for more than two weeks. after their rescue, they were invited to watch a manchester united match — they've already met managerjose mourinho. united are 2—0 up against everton. there are about 15 minutes remaining. it's league cup semifinal day in scotland — aberdeen no goals so far there. it is half—time. meanwhile, celtic have booked their place in december‘s final after beating hearts 3—0 at murrayfield. there's more on the bbc sport website, including a 99th career title for roger federer.

there is no stopping that man. that is it from me. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we are back with a late news at ten. now the news where you are. welcome to bbc london news. i'm alice bhandhukravi. hello there. it has been a fairly chilly old week. with a mixture of sunshine and some showers, some of the showers today have been heavy, particularly in the east. this picture was sent in by one of our weather watchers. some shower clogs off the coast, equally some blue skies and clear spells as we head on into the evening hours. we've got cold air with us, driving in from a north easterly direction. yesterday the winds were straight from the north. today it has not been quite as cold. those northeasterly winds been blowing in plenty of showers across eastern scotland, eastern england, and the channel

isles too where they have been quite heavy with some hail and thunderstorms. a little bit of snow also up the mountains of title in scotland. into these evening and tonight, those showers become confined to coastal areas. most places dry, clear. there will be some mist and some freezing fog patches developing, and a sharper frost. in fact the lowest temperatures could be around —a or —5 degrees. in more rural spots. a comparable starting monday. really wherever you are. it seems a little bit like this wants to reach you on your return back to work monday morning. watch out for him mist and fog patches. they should lift and clear by around the middle part of the morning. and monday's looking like a pretty decent day. lots of blue sky and sunshine. cloud increasing from the west. this weather front never really makes inroads across the country. temperatures still on the cool site for this time of year, so 7—10d at best. just one or two isolated showers in the east. majority of places should stay dry. then heading on into tuesday, we look at this area of low pressure it has been causing assertion across central europe. heavy snow throughout. going to be working its way northwards towards the north sea. uncertain about the exact positioning, but it looks like we're going to have some fairly heavy rain

across the far southeast of england and east anglia for this, tuesday. a lot of choice summer weather elsewhere. one of two showers for northern ireland in northern wales. sunny spells and temperatures around about 7—11d. still rather cool for tuesday, but things do turn a little bit mitre and the widow of the week. wednesday the winds change for more of a southerly direction. slightly milder air. also plenty of showers and an area of low pressure working eastwards across much of the country. an unsettled picture. milder, but some showers. temperatures 13 in the southeast, still only about eight or 9 degrees across scotland and northern ireland. it continues to be pretty unsettled through into thursday as well. particularly wet and windy weather as a deep area of low pressure moves in as we move towards friday. bye for now. hello this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines. the bbc understands that five people were on board the helicopter that crashed in leicester last night. bbc sources say there were two crew members and three passengers on board the aircraft.

it crashed just after taking off from leicester city football ground. police in the american city of pittsburgh have released the names of the 11 people who were murdered at a synagogue yesterday. who were murdered at officials say the gunman, robert bowers, shouted anti—semitic abuse and spoke of genocide during what they called a 20—minute rampage. the chancellor, philip hammond — who'll deliver his budget tomorrow — has suggested he would have to draw up a new economic strategy if there was a no—deal brexit. glenn hoddle is "responding well" to treatment after suffering a heart attack on saturday. a spokesman for the former england manager said he remains in a serious condition in hospital. let's get more now on the pittsburgh synagogue shooting — the suspect has been charged with 11 counts of murder. authorities in pittsburgh say they have identified all the victims. the alleged gunman, robert bowers, is being treated for several gunshot wounds in hospital after surrendering to police following the incident. i've been getting reaction from the guardian columnist, jonathan freedland. he isa

he is a former paper corresponded in north america. he explained why social media has created a platform for the amplification of anti—semitic hate speech. well like everyone, really, very dispirited, very glum. the notion of a mass shooting anywhere 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 celebrate a birth, a new arrival to the community. the oldest — that 97—year—old — thought she had come to a place in america that was a haven and that was safe from anti—semitism, and yet there was somebody who came in armed to the teeth, saying "alljews must die" asjews were scattered. and from initial reports, they were hiding in attics and basements and that has a horrible historical echo. and sojewish communities in america and around the world, in this country, are feeling

tremendous pain and sorrow and probably fear after this. we were talking to a rabbi from a different synagogue in pittsburgh and hour ago who was acknowledging that in recent years security has been taken up almost routinely in synagogues, even where there has been no specific threat because of a kind of a darkening of the atmosphere, a mood. what do you attribute to that, if it is possible to attribute it to it? is is simply that there is more availability now for people who have always had these views who have may be expressed them within the home or would express them when they're drinking with friends or whatever, or possibly workmates, but they haven't had the opportunity that social media now provides? in terms of why there are security, people have asked this question. if you go into anyjewish building in this country very security.

it is. that is because those buildings are under threat. they are targeted. that has happened in europe, in copenhagen or in toulouse, in paris where there are supermarkets and schools, and synagogues and thejewish museum in brussels. and now we have to add pittsburgh to that list. so the threat is rational — rather the fear is rational because the threat is real. but on your point, i think because of social media, it has acted as a huge amplifier for far—right and anti—semitic white supremacist rhetoric, which has always been around. whereas once it might have been confined to poorly printed newsletters being handed under the counter in dodgy book shops or pubs, now it is available at the click of a mouse. you can read this stuff. it is just on your phone if you want to read it. but i do think there is a particular element in the united states at the moment, which is that this sort of hateful rhetoric does get an endorsement and echo and amplifier from the very top. which is — you have a president in donald trump who echoes the themes and the tropes of white supremacism, and particularly anti—jewish racism.

he makes a bogeyman of george soros, who is a hate figure for the anti—semitic right, he talks about globalists, which is a code word used on the right aboutjewish people. therefore it gets kind of a 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 would say, ‘look, we haven't been directly ‘anti—semitic about anybody. ‘we're very supportive of the state of israel', you know, ‘how can these accusations be laid at the president's door?‘ they might say that. unfortunately the support for israel point is not as distinct, because there are people who can be supportive of the state of israel partly for reasons i wouldn't applaud because they see it as somehow a word against muslims so they think they like israel, and nevertheless are very hostile

to jewish people. you can see that in all kinds of places in central europe. that doesn't get anybody off the hook. the important point was that trump in his closing advertisement for example in 2016 was an ad that featured, and none of these things happen by accident, a series of george soros was one, head of federal reserve was another, jewish individuals lost in voiceover did again talk about globalism and international capital. these are the old tunes that have been hammered out by the anti—jewish, racist right for decades if not centuries. and he knows what he's doing. he even used the word "globalist" last night. we may think it is a word about globalisation in an argument about globalisation as his nationalism. to anti—semites, they know what that symbol means. it is a dog whistle which all of them hear and understand. and he channels that by using it.

and george soros, who is held up as is this sort of a billionaire philanthropist himself and a survivor of the holocaust, who is used as a sort of poster and a face for accusations of conspiracy as if he is some kind of sinister puppet master, anti—semites know what that means. it is a code they use among each other and they understand it when it comes from the president. i am not impressed by a few of the gestures he has made, whether they are about israel or even the lip service speeches he reads when they put in front of him. i notice what he says. one of the things about what he said yesterday was very telling. not when he was scripted, when he was reacting. his first reaction actually was to blame thisjewish community itself, saying they should have had armed guardds, but they chose not to, as if it is... between the lines it is kind of theirfault. and the only people he had empathy for were the police.

he cannot find it in himself to express sympathy, empathy, and distress that the pain and anguish of fellow american citizens. he just said they should have had armed guards. the other aspect, sent to touch on this as well, is the question of mass shootings. the thing we are not really used to in this country and that people have become depressingly used to in the state including in your time there. it is seeing the human scale of these actions, that that kind of ricochet effect because the sheer numbers of all those people friends and families who are in mourning today because of this terrible and to their lives, shocking end to those lives. and those injured as well. and yet that doesn't seem to be a connection made for many in public life in the united states with the relative ease with which it is possible to acquire notjust one weapon, but many weapons. yes. you have mentioned my time as a correspondent in the united states. like a lot of brits who serve in that role or anybody from abroad, that was always the biggest gulf in understanding between me between me and them, between any outsider to that society and america.

it is this obsession with, fetish even, of notjust guns guns because in a way you could get your head around the idea of handguns or sporting weapons. this man went in there arms with military grade weapons — an ar—15 an assault rifle capable of killing people very rapidly and in huge numbers. so yes, there have been attacks on... deranged people attacking schools and other countries in the world. and indeed attacks as i mentioned before onjewish targets. so in those cases, the casualties are usually in the low single figures. the difference in america — somebody who is motivated by hate, wherever that motivation has come from, is able to kill people in the double digits. as we saw in las vegas, in the high double digits. that is simply because of the ease of access to these deadly military grade weapons. what i was in the united states in the mid—90s, the president bill clinton had passed an assault

weapons ban and that did reduce the scale of some of the shootings. but then republicans took over the congress and they overturned of that ban. they made it more easy for people, even people with histories of mental illness and people whose publicly have posted online messages of hate, of racism, of white supremacism, they can walk in and buy these military weapons easily. and that 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 it would see this as a huge part of a national malaise, national malady rather, that they ought to confront. now on bbc news — it's time for the film review. hello there and welcome to the film review here on bbc news.

and taking us through this week's cinema releases, we've got jason solomons. jason, what have you got for us this week? yes, ben. the great pretender freddie mercury brings glam rock to opera, to create bohemian rhapsody — a costumed gallop through the highs and lows of queen. we follow the anguished face of one teenage girl as she experiences a dreadful massacre on utoya on 22 july in norway. and we have a rebirth of a cartoonist played byjoaquin phoenix in a sobering yet funny true—life memoir called don't worry, he won't get far 0n foot. right, let's start with bohemian rhapsody. i'm sure lots of people are going to go just for the music. but how is it, in your view, as a movie? absolutely, i mean, it is a run through queen's greatest hits in a sort of karaoke dress—up fashion. a very unknown actor called rami malek plays freddie mercury and he's very good, i have to say, as impersonating freddie mercury. and even deepening the role till

he gets under his skin, like a little costumed action man in all his little outfits as he progresses, up to even the moustache. the film itself isn't a biopic of freddie mercury, that many people were hoping for. it is a biopic of the band, and how they got to their hits, and how they used to sit in studio with their big hair — brian may and roger taylor and john deacon, ‘deaks' as they call him — and how they used to argue, and all their little tiffs got turned into the famous riffs that we know. stamp to this beat. come on. now i want you to clap on the third beat. what's going on? you'd know if you were on time. i want to give the audience a song that they can perform. so what can they do? stamping. imagine thousands of people doing this in unison. huh?

what's the lyric? # we will, we will rock you! of course, thousands of people did do that, hundreds of thousands. they're doing it now. maybe millions. but none the less, critics have sort of said it's a bit of a sanitised version of queen. what do you make of that? it is, i mean, it was produced by brian may and roger taylor, in a way. so they definitely had a say, and they wanted to make sure that everyone knew that brian may wrote we will rock you and john deacon came up with the riffs for another one bites the dust. so it is about the kind of collective. and it takes a fairly linear romp through how they met at university and then how freddie joined the band and how he charged his name from farrokh bulsara to freddie mercury.

and then from killer queen on top of the pops to we will rock you, all the way to live aid. that's when it climaxes, in 1985, that famous show of all shows went down. most people agree queen stole the show of all shows, and freddie mercury was fantastic that day. the film climaxes — no spoilers here — in a sort of step—by—step shot—for—shot recreation of that gig, which is quite extraordinary. so the film has its high points, and it has its low points, when they argue, but it doesn't quite go into the real wrestling match that freddie mercury clearly had with his sexuality. i mean, when freddie mercury died of aids in 1991, the world was shocked. it was like, "freddie mercury's gay? !" you watch this and you think, well, how did he get away with it? that's the real story, and that's not quite what's gone into. the band seems to have tutted at freddie's excesses and his debauchery, and go home for their cup of tea with their wives. and it's got a slightly moralising tone. that said, it's there so that you can take your kids and your family, introduce them to the hits of queen, go and buy their best—selling hits album called volumes 1 and 2, and kind of stomp your way through them from i want to break free

to the great pretender to don't stop me now. i mean, everything freddie sang, he meant, and he was doing in real life, too. all right. let's talk about the next film — utoya: july 22. and this was the absolutely horrific massacre on utoya island back in 2011. i think anybody who remembers that — in a way, you wonder why you'd want to see a film about it, because it was so horrific. that's right. i think you're absolutely right there, ben. and they are notjust one film, there are two films out about this. paul greengrass did a film called july 22, which is currently out, it is on netflix. greengrass who normally is very good at these documentary style recreations — like he did united 93, just on the plane that hit the towers on 9/11. he did sort of a multi—stranded take on utoya, focusing on anders breivik, the right—wing gunman who perpetrated massacre and all the way to his trial. this film, which is made by a norwegian called erik poppe, is just on the island, just on the face of one girl, kaja, who is a sort of quite

well—respected member of the young labour party. she wants to help everybody, and we are with her as this massacre unfolds. now, in this version, we don't see breivik at all, we just hear the boom of his gunfire and see the people running from him. it's a real kind of distillation of what it must‘ve been like to be on that island, not knowing what was going on, the confusion. it's almost done in one single, breathless take. i have to say, i was sitting near the front of the cinema, right at the front, and after about five minutes, i had to move to be back of the theatre to get some distance and perspective. it was too overwhelming. i was too — motion sickness, i was too shaken by it. i had to say that even with that distance, it was still very harrowing experience. but it did make me understand what it must‘ve been like to be caught in that situation. i don't understand the mind of the man who perpetrated it at all, and that sort of leaves me wanting a bit more from it. but it is, as a piece of film making, a rather breathtaking experiment, if you like. but whether this is the right topic to be experimenting with, it left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. yes, it sounds like a hard watch.

0ur third film is don't worry, he won't get far 0n foot. not the snappiest of titles, but tell us what that's about. well, actually, the title comes from a joke. because it's aboutjoaquin phoenix, who is a cartoonist, sort of in the gary larson style, sort of new yorker, that sort of cartoonist. and he plays an alcoholic called john callahan, who is so drunk one night, he gets into the car with jack black — a man played by jack black — and they have a car accident and he's left paraplegic. so the film is about him recovering from his injuries, and also recovering from his alcoholism and discovering his gift as a cartoonist, and giving him a black kind of look of humour at the world. he comes under the spell of a very charismatic sponsor, they called him in rehab, played byjonah hill, called donnie. phone ringing. hello. hey, is this donnie? yeah, who's this? hey, donnie, this isjohn callahan. i'm the neon cripple

from outer space. oh, the man with the tangerine hair? well, i always thought of my hair as electric orange. but yeah, that's me. look, i got your number off the board. i'm calling because i need a sponsor. i do have a lot of piglets at the moment. what are piglets? i need a sponsor. my sponsees are piglets. laughter. that's funny. you want me to help you get sober. well, i saw you speak and i had really liked what you had to say.|j just... i don't know if you are serious. jesus christ. no, i call him chucky. what? it's directed by gus van sant. the role of the originally intended for robin williams, but walking phoenix does very well with that, as doesjonah hill. they're both very good together.

the film is a mix of sentimentalism and funny and dark humour, and very serious about rehab and alcoholism, as well. it's a strange mix, but sometimes it really works, and it's quite funny when you read the acerbic cartoons byjohn callahan. so a fitting monument to him, if you're aware of his work. 0k, best out this week? i'm going to have to say that the best out, everyone is going to see, its top of the box office — it's still a star is born. we've got a freddie mercury sort of biopic about the music industry. this one is really about the music industry. the music scenes, i think, are particularly well done. bradley cooper directing and lady gaga performing, i think terrifically, finding her voice in a star is born. maybe the sexual politics are a bit odd, about a man who can't really survive because the woman's doing better than him. but, you know, maybe he should get over it. that's what people are talking about, and it's what i like about this movie. it's getting people polarised, it's getting people talking, and it's getting people into the cinemas, because it's really a good old—fashioned hollywood melodrama. yeah, i loved it, i have to say. a little bit long, perhaps, and the first half felt sort of better than the second half. they're all a bit long, ben, to be honest with you. well, what about best dvd?

dvds, you can always spin through them if they're too long, but what's the best dvd? don't do this one or you might miss a star, because it's 0cean's eight. just out ehich has got it all—star cast — cate blanchett, rihanna. .. you never thought you'd see those two together! helena bonham carter, sandra bullock and anne hathaway. it's about the women who join together to perform a heist at the very fashionable met gala, the heist of a very valuable necklace, and the double—cross. i thought this was a really enjoyable, good old—fashioned sort of caper fun from hollywood, but with a female twist because of the female cast, i think they were all very good. it's very slick and it's often very funny as well. and it really shouldn't be seen as anything more than that. somebody said, "it wasn't very, it was a very dangerous, there wasn't much jeopardy." it's a lot of costumes, a lot of good outfits, and a lot of laughs. yeah. all right, jason. thank you so much for being with us this week. thank you. and that is it for this week, though. thank you so much for watching and goodbye from us. hello there.
