as one of the greatest drivers of all time. good evening. leicester city football club tonight confirmed that its owner was killed in last night's helicopter crash outside the club's stadium. vichai srivaddhanaprabha's investment in the club since he bought it eight years ago helped it win the premier league in 2016, an extraordinary tale of an outsider seizing the crown. tonight many tributes have been left at the stadium, for the three passengers and two crew who were on board the helicopter. our sports editor dan roan is at the stadium. in the last few moments leicester city have sadly confirmed the news that all their fans had expected and

feared. the news that the club's chairman and owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha along with four others who were in that helicopter that crashed last night, have died. there were no survivors. it caps a dreadful 2a hours for this club. tributes and tears outside the king power stadium in leicester today as the club and its fans struggled to come to terms with last night's helicopter crash. just yards away, the burnt out wreckage as an investigation into the tragedy continues. club owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha one of five people on board — it's still not clear who else was with him. the thai billionaire had been at the ground to watch leicester city's draw against west ham united last night. an hour later, the moment his helicopter took off captured in the post match coverage. as you can see, the owners are now heading off. just seconds later, this... the helicopter turning

into a fireball. eyewitnesses say it spiralled out of control. my god. the helicopter has just crashed. vichai srivaddhanaprabha bought leicester city in 2010, leading them to unprecedented success. known as one of thailand's most astute tycoons he made his vast fortune through a duty free retail empire, but no one could've predicted his club's unforgettable premier league triumph two seasons ago, one of the greatest fairy tales sport has ever seen. among those to pay their respects here today, members of a thai football academy. the affection in which the owner is held obvious by today's outpouring of emotion. this has shocked everybody, the whole football world. leicester city, england, football. you just don't expect this. it's a big thing for leicester city. he was the best bloke that you could have. he never went by you without acknowledging you.

he brought us such highs and suchjoy, bringing us all the way up from league one. and for the family to suffer this awful, awful thing is just so cruel. it doesn't seem fair. yeah, it's a difficult one to process. football today uniting in tribute. a minute's silence held at several premier league matches. he was not someone who came in and put money in and tried to get it back out, which a lot of greedy chairman are doing, he was here for the long—term, for the community, and he wanted the best for football club. with inquiries led by the air accidents investigation branch continuing at the crash site, local police have appealed for patience.

this evening, as the fans waited for official news, a poignant moment marking this, the darkest day in the club's history. with that now is coming from leicester city in the moments before became on air, what else did they say? they said the world has lost a great man of kindness and generosity whose life was defined by the love he had for his family and those he lied. leicester city say they are a family under his leadership and they will maintain the pursuit of a vision for the club that is his legacy. at a time when most will you near overseas owners are criticised for not being committed enough to the fans or their community, not here in leicester city where vichai

srivaddhanaprabha in earned the respect and affection of the entire community and the entire city, whether through donating millions of pounds to the local hospital or university or handing out gifts to supporters and mingling with fans. he funded what is arguably the greatest achievement in sport, when the rank outsiders for the premier league title somehow managed to achievejust league title somehow managed to achieve just that and redefined what was previously thought possible in sport. two years ago i saw great scenes ofjubilation sport. two years ago i saw great scenes of jubilation and celebration. tonight the difference could not be more stark. the medical has turned to mourning. officials in pittsburgh have named the 11 people murdered at a synagogue on saturday — said to be the deadliest attack on thejewish community in us history. the victims were between

5a and 97 years old, and included a married couple and two brothers. the man accused of the killings — robert bowers — is said to have talked of genocide and his desire that alljews must die as he went on a 20—minute rampage. 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 gunman. come on, we've got a guy barricaded, actively shooting at swat operators. all right, be advised, we have a 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—is assault rifle and at least three handguns. he spoke of genocide and his desire to killjewish people. robert bowers' social media posts were full of anti—semitic rants, and just hours before the attacks 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." listen to the names, including two

brothers. 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 hammering his democratic opponents, only briefly at telling condemnation. 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. flowers a nd flowers and police tape, we see them

over and over again. nick bryant, bbc news, pittsburgh. let's join our north america editor jon sopel in washington. a searing few days, first the targeting of prominent democrats and now the targeting of prominentjews. another in kentuckian where two black people were killed by a black man. “— black people were killed by a black man. —— a white man. i cannot see a navyis man. —— a white man. i cannot see a navy is and why this will change the debate more than any other gun crimes have done over the past few yea rs crimes have done over the past few years but on the heat claim aspect some people have said this is donald trump responsible because of his divisive rhetoric. that is ridiculous although it is legitimate to ask if the rhetoric in power as

extremists is to think they can act in that way. donald trump said last night, we must unite to conquer hate, but today he went on to attack one of the democrats who was the recipient of the paper from last week, saying he was a crazed and stumbling lunatic. you have to say there seems to be made to gap between the rhetoric and the reality. the chancellor philip hammond is preparing to unveil his budget tomorrow, saying that in the event of a no deal brexit it would have to be followed by another, emergency, budget. he's warned future plans for government spending 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 deal 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 the legacy system to universal credit.

and where we see issues that need addressing, we will address 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 on 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. so the political constraints on the chancellor are clear, but how much financial leeway does he have? here to explain is our economics

editor kamal ahmed. the chancellor certainly has a challenge tomorrow. does the "end of austerity" promised by the prime minister mean more spending and more taxes? let's look first at the state of the government's finances. they are better than expected. in november 2016, the government borrowed £59 billion, to make up the difference between what it spent on public services and what it raised in taxes. this year, that figure is expected to fall to 59.9 billion — that's £5 billion less than expected. and next year it could be £13 billion lower than expected. higher tax revenues and lower local council spending have given the chancellor a cash buffer which he could spend on public services. here are the three big things to watch for tomorrow. how will the government pay for the £20 billion nhs promise?

will mr hammond use that extra cash buffer or will he raise taxes? if he does, any increases will be small, but i would be surprised if, over the next few years, taxes didn't rise. particularly if the chancellor really does want to announce the end of austerity, which could cost as much as £19 billion a year. there is a big if attached to this budget. if there is no brexit deal, mr hammond believes that would damage the economy and leave his spending plans in a tattered heap on the floor. mishal. let's take a look at some of today's other news stories. trains running in and out of paddington station in london have been disrupted for the second time this month, because of damage to overhead power cables. services to the west country and to heathrow airport were affected. the line has now been re—opened and most trains are running normally. three teenagers have been arrested

in halifax in west yorkshire on suspicion of murder after a 17—year—old boy was stabbed. forensic officers have been working at the scene, where two males were found with stab wounds last night, and a third with a head injury. all were taken to hospital, but the 17—year—old died a short time later. some shareholders in ryanair have called for changes in the company's governance structure. the local authority pension fund forum wants reform following the recent industrial disputes involving airline management and disgruntled staff. germany's ruling parties have had a second electoral upset in a fortnight, after exit polls showed voters in a key state turning away from them. the results in the central state of hesse, where the city of frankfurt is situated, could plunge both parties of angela merkel‘s coalition government into renewed crises. jenny hill is in berlin. how serious is this for chancellor merkel?

they are calling this the fault of destiny and it could seal the fate of the german government and perhaps even its leader. angela merkel‘s party has done badly in, losing to the anti—migrant party and the more liberal green party. her party is doing badly at national level as well and this is ammunition for critics within her own ranks who see it is time she stepped down. she has a more pressing concern which is the fate of her coalition partner. the social democrats. they are all but this integrated national level they have done badly in ended badly a couple of weeks ago. there are many who blamed the coalition with angela merkel‘s conservatives for the current plight and they say it is time they got out of that coalition

and recovered in opposition. expect the social democrats to be arguing about this for weeks. if they decide to polite of the coalition angela merkel‘s government collapses and most likely the german chancellor would fall with it. polls havejust closed in brazil in the second round of the country's presidential election. brazilians have been choosing between the far—right candidate jair bolsonaro and fernando haddad of the left—wing workers' party. mr bolsonaro is projected to have won a convincing victory. his supporters are out on the streets, celebrating. 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. lewis hamilton is the formula 1 world champion for a fifth time. he finished fourth at the mexican grand prix, but it was enough to win the title.

the race was won by red bull's max vertappen. john watson reports. lewis hamilton, five—time world champion and this a familiar feeling. his intent to get there was clear from the start. a seventh place finish above was he needed. he was up to second at the first corner. for his title rival nothing more than a win would do. he kept his slim hopes alive. this year would be - straightforward. his slim hopes alive. this year would be - straig drop nard. his slim hopes alive. this year would be - straig drop that his slim hopes alive. this year would be - straig drop before the hard work had been done before this race, nine wins this season and giving him some breathing space. max first up and may have crossed the line first but all eyes were on lewis hamilton. five-time champion of the world! that focus on being quicker whatever the vehicle has a lwa ys quicker whatever the vehicle has

always been there, through his boyhood, through karting, he has been on store bubble, doing it his way. to the all—time podium, michael schumacher seven titles, lewis hamilton on number two. in the elite company. some things he does use it up company. some things he does use it up and you take notice. already the most successful british driver in formula 1 history, after eight gruelling months of racing, time to stop and reflect on his place amongst the greats. the former england and tottenham manager glenn hoddle remains in a serious condition in hospital after suffering a heart attack yesterday. he was 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.

there's more on the bbc sport website including all today's women's superleague results. but for now, that's it from me. now, before we go, how simple acts of kindness have broughtjoy to two little children from preston. each birthday, alfie and arthur lowe only received cards from their family. but that all changed when the twins, who have down's syndrome, turned five and hundreds of birthday cards arrived, thanks to a charity, follow your dreams. it appealed for the twins to be sent cards and has helped more than 80 children ina similarway. a first look at the newspapers is coming up on the bbc news channel but now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodnight. hello. this is bbc news. more now on the mass shooting of worshippers at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the united states.

earlier, the guardian columnist jonathan freedland told my colleague shaun ley 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 into anyjewish building in this country there is security. indeed. in schools and synagogues. that is because those buildings are under threat. they are targeted. that has happened in europe, in copenhagen, 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 social media has acted as a huge amplifier for far—right and anti—semitic white supremacist rhetoric, which has always been around. exactly as you say. 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 aboutjews. therefore it gets a kind of a legitimacy when the president himself uses that language. 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 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 bulwark against muslims so they think they like israel, and nevertheless are very hostile to jews. you can see that in all kinds of places, particularly in eastern and central europe. that doesn't get anybody off the hook. that is no alibi. 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, the head of federal reserve was another, jewish individuals, while the 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. trump even used the word "globalist" last night. we may think it is a word

about globalisation in an argument about globalisation versus nationalism. to anti—semites, they know what that signal means. it is a dog whistle which all of them hear and understand. and he channels it and mainstreams it by using it. and george soros, who is held up as is this sort of billionaire philanthropist, himself 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're 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 guards, but they chose not to, as if it is... between the lines it is kind of theirfault. and the only people he had warm words for were the police. he cannot find it in himself to express sympathy, empathy, and distress at the pain and anguish of fellow american citizens. he just said they should have had armed guards. it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. the week with some dramatic changes in our weather once again. we start of cameron chilly with the widespread frost but by the end of the week, it could be stormy. back to tejeda now, we are talking about the widespread frost that will be under way. in the west and in the countryside, minus five as possible. there could be ice and fog around first thing. notice the green for

the least. milder for easter and coastal counties because of the breeze from the nazi, but we will still see showers through the day on monday. further west, and we will see high cloud for northern ireland and western scotland. the sunshine will be hazy here. elsewhere it is a good—looking day, and would like to winds in an easterly direction, it should feel bearable. temperatures a couple of degrees above average. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment.
