and lewis hamilton only has to get seventh place in today's mexican grand prix to win the championship — we'll bring you the latest in sportsday at six thirty 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. wee-chai sree-wattana-prab-ha 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. obviously invested heavily into the club. obviously 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 sombre. 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're 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. our sports editor dan roan is at the king power stadium and has been explaining how the leicester owner was unlike others in the game. we are anytime were some overseas billionaire owners of football clubs are criticised for not being visible enough that matches and not caring enough that matches and not caring enough about their fans of the local community, not here in leicester city, not in his case. whether it was with mingling with the supporters, he was a regular visitor, or gestures like buying

them beers or takes on his birthday, or donating millions of pounds to the hospital, over the last eight yea rs of the hospital, over the last eight years of ownership, he has forged a very close bond with his community and earned a b affection of an entire city and of course, above all else, he will be remembered regardless, over the next few hours as the man who does make years ago funded arguably the greatest fairy tale, the greatest underdog triumph in the history of english football when, as 5001, the one that beat premier league, leicester city managed to redefine what was regarded as possible two years ago, extraordinary scenes of jubilation, it isa extraordinary scenes of jubilation, it is a difficult 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 shoot out with the gunman. 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. gary 0'donoghue is in pittsburgh. today has been a day for people to

come to terms with what has happened. i suppose the investigation is a straightforward one because they have the suspect in custody and have a pretty clear idea of what happens now, do you think? well, you're right. it doesn't seem to be much of doubt, but of course there is due process in these matters, that is part of what america stands for and any country with a legal system that puts these issues at the top of the agenda. it has to go through and there will be that the police told us today that it could take a week to process that crime scene at the synagogue, say get a sense of the sheer scale of thejob get a sense of the sheer scale of the job they have to do there in terms of the forensics and collecting of shell casings to

figure out what happened, because brutally speaking, a lot of people we re brutally speaking, a lot of people were witnesses there died. they have not got quite as much to go on in terms of eyewitnesses, so that is the process they are conducting and a strictly legal sense, robert bowers will appear in court in front ofa bowers will appear in court in front of a federaljudge, that will be the initial hearing, the fbi will say that he will be convicted. the fbi have already said he's going to be prosecuted under hate crime legislation and that has the potential and some of the counts against him to carry the death penalty. all of those things are on the table. it is all about how he pleads to be spanked and it could very well still be at trial and as we know in america, even if you achieve the death penalty, are sentenced to a death penalty, it can ta ke yea rs sentenced to a death penalty, it can take years and years and years to

come about. so this'll be a long process and the people living here will see process and they will see the slowness of that process and it will make it, even harderfor them to try and understand and come to terms into the —— and to feel that justice has been done. what sort of demonstrations of solidarity and a tribute to have there been since the attack in pittsburgh? well, there's been a lot of support as you would expect, a digital we were at last night was outside of presbyterian church, and methodist congregation that was playing host to people of all faiths and also thejewish community of squirrel hill. there's been a lot of support and warm if

you would like, and at thejewish community has been here for a long time. a big community in terms of pittsburgh in pennsylvania. a big community ofjewish people but an integrated one, and there is goodwill and the city towards this community and what can be done to help them through this appalling time. so that is what you're going to be hearing from other religious leaders and certainly, civic leaders in the area that have already been today that anything they can be done will be done. thank you very much. more now on the mass shooting of worshippers at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the united states. earlier, the guardian columnist, jonathan freedland, told me that he believed the language of the political leadership in the us is at the heart of a rise in anti—semitism in the country. if you go to anyjewish building in this country, schools, synagogues, those buildings are under threat. there is security.

they are targeted and it has happened in europe, open hagan, in paris, whether supermarkets, schools and synagogues and thejewish museum in brussels, and now we have to add pittsburgh to that list. so the threat is, the fear is rational, because the threat is real. but on your point, i think social media has acted as a huge amplifier for far right, anti—semitic and far right white supremacist rhetoric has always been around, exactly as you say. printed newsletters being handed under the counter and dodgy book shops, now it is available with the click of a mouse, you can read the stuff that is just on your phone if you want to read it. i do think there is a particular element in the united states which is, that this sort of hateful rhetoric does get an endorsement and amplifier from the very top, which is you have a president

donald trump who echoes the themes, the tropes of white supremacy 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 for the read about used for the read aboutjewish people and gets a kind ofa legitimacy when the president himself uses that language. president trump will also say that, we have not used, we have not been directly anti—semitic about anybody, we are very supportive of the state of israel, how can these accusations be laid at the president's door? yes, they might say that and unfortunately, the support for israel point is distinct, because there are people who can be supportive of the state of israel, reasons i would not applaud because they think it is a bulwark against muslims so they think they like israel. nevertheless, they're very hostile tojewish people and you see that all kinds of places.

in central europe. so that does not get anyone off the hook, that's no alibi. the important point with trump is the idea, and the closing advertisement in 2016 was an ad that featured, none of these things happen by accident, a series of george soros, federal reserve was another, the jewish individuals while the voiceover did again, talk about globalism and international capital, these are the old tunes that been hammered out by the anti—jewish racist right for decades, if not centuries. and he knows what he's doing, he used the word globalist last night, night you may think that it may be a world about globalisation. versus nationalism. to anti—semites, they know what that signal means, it is a dog whistle to which for all of them, they understand. and he channels and mainstreams it by using it and soros, who was held up as this billionaire philanthropist,

who has used as a sort of poster, as 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 that they understand and use among each other and the understand when it comes from the president. so i am not impressed by a few of the gestures that he's made about israel or the lip service that he reads when they put it in front of them. in one of things always suggesting is very telling, not when he was scripted when he was reacting to. he simply, his first reaction was to blame the jewish community itself, saying they should have armed guards and they chose not to, as if between the lines, it's kind of their fault, and that the only people that he had any people that he had any warm words for where the police. he could not find it in himself to express empathy, sympathy or distress at the pain and anguish of fellow americans by saying that they should have had armed guards there. the headlines on bbc news.

leicester city fans have been laying flowers at king power stadium, close to where a helicopter belonging to the club's owner crashed last night. a man is charged in pittsburgh after the murder of 11 people at a synagogue — the deadliest attack on america's jewish community. chancellor philip hammond, who will present his budget tomorrow, says an end to austerity depends on what kind of brexit deal the country gets. 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. the 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. let's get more now on the second and final round of brazil's presidential election, where polls are now open. millions of people are expected to vote in one of the most divisive and violent political campaign's in the country's history. voters are choosing between the far—right candidate zha—eer bolsonero and fernando of the left—wing workers' party. 0ur correspondentjulia carneiro said rather than feeling represented by the two candidates, many voters feel like they have been left to decide who is least bad. i'm just outside the rocinha favela, the biggest shanty town in rio, at a voting station, one of the many voting stations set up across brazil where people are coming in and out to place their vote for a president, and here in rio for governor as well, in the run off vote. these have been very divisive elections, with unprecedented events

in the run—up to today, which will be a historic day. we are seeing leading candidate jair bolsonaro ten percentage points ahead of his contender, despite very controversial comments he has made in the past that have been considered racist, homophobic, misogynistic. he has gained support, however, defending a hard line stance against violence, corruption, promising to deliver something different. i'm going inside to take a look at how voting is coming along. so inside the school all the of the classrooms have been converted into temporary voting stations. so people line up, wait for their turn, they go inside, place their votes. in this station here, this lady has just voted, both for perfect and for governor. i have been speaking to some of the voters here. this woman is about to cast her vote. are you hopeful about the results that will be announced later today? so she says she is hopeful,

and that she is choosing the candidate she considers less worse for brazil to improve, and i think this is typical for what we are seeing at the moment. lots of people are undecided, going for the candidate that they consider less worse, not really feeling represented by the options that are available. the electronic voting system here is electronic, so we will have the results out later tonight, and we will keep you up—to—date about who the next president of brazil will be. three teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 17—year—old boy was stabbed in halifax. officers found two males with stab wounds and a third with a head injury in the 0venden area of the town last night.

all three were taken to hospital for treatment, but one of them died a short time later. 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. 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. 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. she might be the oldest person in the world butjulia flores hasn't tired of blowing out her birthday candles just yet. the 118—year—old celebrated her birthday with live music, cake and herfavourite pasta dish. ms flores is from bolivia and was thrown a party in her honour at city hall where she was given a certificate recognising her long life. her family is hoping she will now secure her place in the guinness book of world records. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas

it has been a pretty chilly weekend for the northeasterly wind, imac for showers, it has been, and highland scotland. we're noticing those clear skies this evening. so this evening and overnight, much of it looking clear, still a you wrote showers and the odd patch of myths and freezing fog, so now the cold side of the cold est fog, so now the cold side of the coldest night of the season so far. watch out those patches of freezing fog which it clear by the late part of monday morning. and monday is looking pretty decent, you icy stretches where rehab is showers in the east but many places are dry. sunny spells on the side across seven to 10 degrees on monday, stays pretty chilly through the tuesday and but more unsettled as we look
