just yards away, the burnt out wreckage as an investigation into the tragedy continues. club owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha one of five people on board. 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. oh, my god! the helicopter‘s just crashed. srivaddhanaprabha bought leicester city in 2010, leading it 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 fairytales 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. it's a shock to everybody. the whole football world. leicester city, england, football. you just don't expect this. it's a big thing for leicester city, this. he was the best bloke that you could have. he never went by you without acknowledging you. he brought us such highs and such joy, bringing us all the way up from league one. and for the family to suffer this awful, awful thing isjust 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 wasn'tjust one of these chairmen 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. our other developing story, in brazil with the far right candidate jair bolsonaro win in brazil's presidential election. with almost all of the votes counted, bolsonaro has 55% of the votes against 45% for fernando haddad from the left—wing workers‘ party. it is just it isjust gone

it is just gone 9pm it isjust gone 9pm in it is just gone 9pm in the evening, this is the scene live, incredible scenes on the infamous copper cabana that it with tens of thousands out to celebrate jair bolsonaro's victory —— copacabana. bolsonaro campaigned on a promise to eradicate corruption and to drive down brazil's high crime levels. he has vowed to change the destiny of brazil. daniel gallas is in sao paulo. we are getting confirmation of that win for the president. just described to us how significant this win is for the far right candidate. well, it is a sharp turn to the right for brazil and fourjair bolsonaro it's a huge win because not a lot of people expected him to win. ayear not a lot of people expected him to win. a year ago he wasn't very well positioned in the polls. he had very little money in his campaign. he had very little time for advertiser. and he won against the big giants of brazilian politics, the workers' party, the social democrats and he

has done something a lot of people thought was impossible. a lot of it due to his strong words, the strong thoughts that he has on a lot of different topics. he got a lot of the support of voters who were actually voting against the workers' party and voting against left—wing government of brazil, which ruled brazilfor government of brazil, which ruled brazil for the past 13 years, government of brazil, which ruled brazilfor the past 13 years, so it isa brazilfor the past 13 years, so it is a huge win forjair bolsonaro tonight. is he going to be able to bring about the change people are hoping for? of course he takes over ata time hoping for? of course he takes over at a time of instability. there is so much hope on his shoulders, but can he deliver? well, he has experienced a surge in popularity and in the past few weeks we saw a lot of politicians getting elected because brazil had the elections for governor and for congress, so a lot of people got actually elected because they put jair bolsonaro's

name on their ticket. and he will experience a sort of honeymoon with congress with a lot of people, a lot of politicians, supporting him in the first six months. that traditionally happens a lot in brazil. so his best chance to deliver on economic reforms and other sorts of reforms he wants to implement is in the first few weeks in office. daniel, thank you very much for the update, from sao paulo with those unprecedented scenes taking place, in celebration of their new president and we have more analysis coming up in the programme. sri lanka's consitutional crisis has turned violent, with a man shot dead as a minister from the ousted government tried to return to work. a security guard opened fire at a crowd who tried to stop the former oil minister, arjuna ra natunga, from entering his office. exit polls suggest germany's governing coalition has suffered a big setback in the western state of hesse, a result that could spell trouble for chancellor merkels's administration. both the christian democrats and their partners in the federal government, the spd, went back by about ten percentage points. the outcome is likely to increase tensions in the governing coalition in berlin.

big news for this man. britain's lewis hamilton has secured his fifth formula 1 world championship title. he finished fourth at the mexican grand prix to secure the necessary points he needed. the 33—year—old british driver is nowjust two short of michael schumacher‘s record of seven world titles. hamilton still has two more years left on his contract with mercedes. officials in pittsburgh have named the 11 people murdered at a synagogue on saturday, said to be the deadliest attack on the jewish 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. the police have released recordings of their shootout with the gunman. 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 attacks he had been critical of a jewish refugee organisation. "i can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered", he wrote. "screw your optics, i'm going in." daniel stone, richard gottfried, jerry rabinowitz, and 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 continued to hammer his democratic opponents, only briefly interrupting this political rally to offer words of 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. of american life. flowers and police tape — we see them over and over again. nick bryant, bbc news, pittsburgh. let's return to our top story and

the confirmation of the death of leicester city football club. it came from the club just a couple of hours ago, and shortly after the statement was released i spoke to our sports editor dan roan. it was the news that leicester city fa ns it was the news that leicester city fans had been fearing got into it expecting as well and as you say leicester city released a statement this evening in which they confirmed that vichai srivaddhanaprabha had sadly died along with four other people who were on board that helicopter that crashed last night following the match against west ham united here at the king power stadium, just a few metres away when that helicopter came down. in a statement they said that the world has lost a great man, and man of kindness, of generosity, and a man whose life was defined by the love he devoted to his family and those he devoted to his family and those he successfully led. it goes on leicester city was a family under his leadership. it is a family that we will greet his passing and maintaina we will greet his passing and maintain a vision for the club that is now his legacy. and as you can

see behind me of course there is this extraordinary outpouring of grief, these tributes have been laid, and pouring in throughout the course of the day. and itjust serves as a very vivid reminder of just how much affection and respect that gentleman was held by the fans. what have people been saying to you at the ground about how they feel about this news? two years ago i was stood in this very spot amid incredible scenes ofjubilation and celebration of course when leicester city pulled off what many people thought was simply impossible, an impossible dream, by starting the 2015-16 impossible dream, by starting the 2015—16 season as 5000—1 rank outsiders to lift the premier league trophy and somehow managed to achieve exactly that, redefining what many people thought was possible in the process and that was of course in large part down to the millions of pounds which the owner and chairman of the club since 2010 mr srivaddhanaprabha had poured into the club. having said all that, despite that financial support they

were, as i say, complete rank outsiders. it was a fairytale come true for leicester city fans and of course that's the principal reason why the many fans have been gathering he will always have a special place in their hearts for the owner and chairman of this football club. but of course it went well beyond that. this was a man who donated millions of pounds to the local community, local hospital and university —— university, who was a visible presence at matches, who gave presence of cakes and beers on the occasions of his birthday to supporters as well. and i think at a time when some billionaire overseas owners of four booklets are criticised for not caring enough about the fans and the community and for not being a visible presence at their clubs, this was a man who i think stood in stark contrast to that and that's why he will always be very popular here. sports editor dan roan there on the death of the chairman of leicester city football club. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: pakistani's crowdfunding scheme to

raise money for giant dams. indira gandhi, ruler of the world's largest democracy, died today. only yesterday, she'd spoken of dying in the service of her country and said, "i would be proud of it. every drop of my blood would contribute to the growth of this nation." after 46 years of unhappiness, these two countries have concluded a chapter of history. no more suspicion, no more fear, no more uncertainty of what each day might bring. booster ignition and liftoff of discovery, with a crew of six astronaut heroes and one american legend. well, enjoying the show is right. this is beautiful. a milestone in human history. born today, this girl in india is the seven billionth person on the planet. this is newsday on the bbc.

i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. i'm babita sharma in london. our top stories: the thai businessman and leicester city chairman vichai srivaddhanaprabha is confirmed to have been killed in a helicopter crash outside the club's stadium. tributes are flooding in. jair bolsonaro, the far—right candidate, has won the brazilian presidential election, in a highly divisive campaign. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the financial times reports on an important day for the british chancellor, philip hammond. his annual budget will be presented to parliament later, with brexit said to be at the heart of future economic policy. the gulf news says donald trump declined an official invitation to visit india.

according to the paper, the us president was invited to be chief guest for the annual republic day parade, but domestic committments led him to saying no. the south china morning post reports on an attempt to launch a private rocket into outer space by a company based in beijing. it would have been the first time a privately owned chinese firm had successfully sent a rocket into space, but the mission ended in failure. so, in a result that many had expected, the far—right candidate jair bolsonaro has won the brazilian presidential election. with almost all of the votes counted from the second round, mr bolsonaro has 55% of the votes, against 45% for fernando haddad from the left—wing workers' party. marisa von bulow is a professor at the political science institute at the university of brasilia, and joins us from there now. translation: we are going to offer you a dignified government, that

will work for all brazilians. we are a great country, and now, together, we are going to make this country, ina great we are going to make this country, in a great nation, a free, democratic and prosperous nation. brazil above all, god above all. in rio, there is a party going on. marisa von bulow is a professor at the political science institute at the university of brasilia, and joins us from there now. what do you make of this result, good to see you. hello, good to see you. thank you for having me. well, it was not a surprise. we expected jair bolsonaro to win today. maybe even have a greater win. a couple of weeks ago, the difference was of 20 points between bolsonaro and haddad,

and it came to ten points today. so the difference was diminishing, but it wasn't enough time, really, and bolsonaro had a very clear victory today. so not surprising, but overall, i have to tell you, a year ago, scholars, politicians, no one could have foreseen this result. so not surprising for the past month, two months, the hats. but if we have a broader look, i mean, no one really... it has been a very surprising process. no one expected it. yes, the workers' party being ousted after a decade in power, making way for this far right candidate. many saying that this could be the moment that brazilians have voted for, in terms of change. goodbye to corruption and recession of the past. do you think he can deliver on the promises he has made? there is a lot of expectation that he will do as you say, get rid of corrupt politics. a lot of his vote

has been not really a vote exactly for him, but a vote against traditional politics, against mainstream political parties, and of course a vote of protest against the corruption that has wrecked the country, and especially the workers' party governments. i think that it will be, however, very hard for him to meet these expectations, in part because the political crisis is ongoing, and also because the economic situation is not a very good one. and we do not foresee quick changes in the short term. and brazilians really elected a symbol today, so now they call him a myth, and that's very, very high expectations for any politician ever, on the road. what now for the left in brazil, and the workers' party? well, it will have to rebuild itself. its main leader, lula, is in

prison, and a lot of his charisma, a lot of his leadership, has been painted, i think, in the past few months. fernando haddad, who was today the second one in the elections, did actually quite well for someone who was not well known at the national level. but the workers' party has a tough road ahead. it really has to rebuild itself. it has two give clearer a nswe rs itself. it has two give clearer a nswers to itself. it has two give clearer answers to the brazilian people on the corruption scandals, and so we will see if it will be able to do that. time will tell, won't it, but for now, thank you so much for joining us, as the party continues in rio, as wejust joining us, as the party continues in rio, as we just saw that, with many thousands still on the streets and on the beach of brazil. is this the world's largest and most spectacular crowdfunding project? the pakistani government is trying

to raise $17 billion to build two hydroelectric dams to tackle a growing water crisis. international donors have been reluctant to get involved because the largest of the two dams is in a region disputed by india. but pakistanis, including those living abroad, are being encouraged to make donations. secunder kermani reports from gilgit in northern pakistan. this picture —esque valley in the north of pakistan is where the government wants to build one of two huge dams, and it is asking ordinary people to help them. school pupils, sports teams, the pakistani army, have all been busy donating to the funding programme. it was started by the country's chiefjustice. there is such a broad problem... and has now been taken on by prime minister imran khan. translation: experts say, if we don't build dams, by 2025

there will be huge water shortages. many in the pakistani deus brach have been contributing as well, like this british businessman. he is planning to donate over £100,000 of profits from his company. we can see since all these water resources issues are going on from the last two years, and we haven't built anything, so it is a question of contravening towards a national cause in pakistan and towards the nation. if built, this would be one of the world's biggest dams, but the projects will cost an estimated $17 billion. so far, around $50 million has been raised. imran khan has been praised for trying to find a solution for pakistan's mounting water crisis. but the scale of this project is so huge that critics say it is simply impossible to pay for

it is simply impossible to pay for it using crowd funding. at this rate, it would take over 50 years to raise the full amount, but officials say imran khan will deliver results far sooner. in the past, he has done a remarkablejob far sooner. in the past, he has done a remarkable job in far sooner. in the past, he has done a remarkablejob in making things happen, and we have full trust in our prime minister and the leadership, and here is what he has done. he does things that he says. the dam project is receiving popular support as well as criticism. imran khan will have to see how much of it tra nslates khan will have to see how much of it translates into hard cash. you have been watching newsday. i'm babita sharma in london. and i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. stay with us. coming up, we will be taking a look at pampered pooch is, the latest trend in china — acupuncture for dogs. that is coming up on asia business report. and before we go, a new zealander has won his fourth world scrabble championship title at the finals in london.

nigel richards clinched victory when he played the word "groutier," scoring 68 points. groutier comes from grouty, which means cross, sulky or sullen. malaysia—based mr richards began playing scrabble in 1995. he has won his three previous world scrabble championship titles. hello. after a week that brought some dramatic changes in our weather, very mild in the middle of last week, told as weekend, it looks like the pattern for the ahead will also see things swinging from one extreme to the next. pretty quiet and chilly start, mild at midweek, and chilly start, mild at midweek, and potentially pretty stormy by friday. first here we are posting on monday. i'll mild frost in the west. eastern coastal counties always a little bit milder thanks to the breeze off the north sea. a few showers in here again on monday.

this front tries to get into the west, but it's not going to have much luck. it will, though, feeds high cloud into northern ireland and western scotland, so the sunshine a little bit hazy here for the second pa rt little bit hazy here for the second part of the day. a lot of fine weather around. temperatures still, though, somewhat below average. perhaps not feeling quite as cold without the key northerly winds. overnight monday into tuesday, low pressure moving up from the continent heads into the north sea. this is causing us some uncertainty in our forecasts were tuesday, just how closely it will graze the eastern side of the uk. at the moment it looks like eastern counties will get some rank and experience some quite strong winds. just how far that pushes on to our shores, though, does remain in question. for many, though, the prospect of a reasonable day if someone on the cool side. that low, however, will be a way to the north tuesday to wednesday, and through wednesday daytime we are going to start to see this front from the atlantic, with a southerly airflow. that is going to make things feel considerably milder to the south of the uk come wednesday afternoon.

temperatures back closer to average, not want we had last week, but perhaps up to 13 in london with some sunshine. some heavy rain possible further west. sunshine for the north—east of scotland, things feeling quite chilly here. but it all turns into a bit of a mixed up mass wednesday into thursday. clea rest mass wednesday into thursday. clearest thinking for us at the moment is that we will see a weather front to the east of the uk on thursday, bringing some rain through the day that will eventually clear out into the north sea. some showers in the works, but generally, again, not a bad day. we are talking about temperatures getting into the average range of figures by the tomic at the thursday. friday promises something mild. it also promises something mild. it also promises something mild. it also promises something pretty unpleasant. mild air coming in to the atlantic as this low at roles across us. this is the remnants of tropical storm oscar. it is like a bullseye. tightly packed isobars needs strong to gale force winds widely across the uk on friday and the potential for some heavy widely across the uk on friday and the potentialfor some heavy rain widely across the uk on friday and the potential for some heavy rain as well. so in the week ahead we go from chilly, quiet, calm start again
