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 at the minute in the english premier league, 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 top story this hour: far—right candidate jair bolsonaro has won brazil's presidential election. with almost all the ballots counted, he has 55% of the vote, beating fernando—haddad from the left—wing workers‘ party by ten points. in a victory speech,

mr bolsonaro said he would protect freedoms and democracy, and vowed to change the destiny of brazil. he also promised to bring the country together. fairto fair to say there's a party going on in rio, this is the scene where tens of thousands have flocked to the co pa ca ba na of thousands have flocked to the copacabana beach, celebrating victory ofjair copacabana beach, celebrating victory of jair bolsonaro, who earlier said he would protect freedom and democracy and vowed to change the destiny of resilience. he promised to bring the country together. let's listen to what he said a short time ago. translation: we're going to offer you a dignified government that will work for all brazilians. we are a great country, and now, together, we're going to make this country in a great nation, a free, democratic and prosperous nation. brazil above all, god above all. dubbed the trump of the tropics, jair bolsonaro is a divisive character. katy watson takes a closer look now at who he is and what changes he might bring to brazil.

brazilians have voted for change, and it's this man who promises to deliver it. but jair bolsonaro is a politician who divides the country. brazil's next president stirs strong emotions on both sides. he's been a congressman for nearly 30 years, but he's sold himself as an outsider. a clea n he's sold himself as an outsider. a clean politician who wants to stamp out corruption. his campaign was built on the hatred of the workers party, left—wing group founded by former president lula da silva, who is currently in prison for corruption. against abortion, bolsonaro is a defender of traditionalfamily bolsonaro is a defender of traditional family values but he's also come under fire for his misogynistic, racist and homophobic comments. he said he'd rather have a dead son than a gay son. perhaps most controversial, though, in a country that lived through military dictatorship and only returned to

democracy 30 years ago is his love of the military. a former army officer, he's praised torture in the past and thinks the military can help bring back rule to brazil. the campaign's been dramatic from the start. just last month, he was stabbed while out on a rally. he's since done most of his campaigning through social media. while his fiery speech wins admirers, it worries everyone else. just last week he threatened the workers‘ party, saying when you a there would bea party, saying when you a there would be a cleansing like never before. translation: it will be a wider cleanup. if those people want to remain here, they will have to abide by our law. they either leave the country or go to jail. these red outlaws will be banished from our, and. he's referred to as the drum of the tropics. some say his rhetoric is closer to that of the rodrigo duterte of the philippines. he‘s a powerful populist who promises change, but many fear what that

change, but many fear what that change will mean for brazil. katy watson, bbc news, in rio dejaneiro. also making news today: the us has called on the sri lankan president, maithripala sirisena, to immediately reverse his suspension of parliament. mr sirisena provoked a constitutional crisis when he sacked his prime minster and replaced him with a controversial former president, mahinda rajapaksa. the crisis has turned violent, with a man shot dead as a minister from the ousted government tried to return to work. 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. some dramatic pictures to show you. this is a huge fire at an oil depot in tianjin municipality in northern china. more than 70 fire engines and 500 firefighters were reportedly involved. they did eventually manage to bring it under control, and no casualties have been reported. here is the man of the moment.

britain‘s lewis hamilton has secured his fifth formula i 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—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 your optics, i‘m going in." daniel stone, richard gottfried, jerry rabinowitz, and two brothers, cecil and david rosenthal. sme of the ii victimes. 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, and 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 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 the owner 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. he was and the club. it was the news that leicester city fans had been fearing but in truth 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 the statement they said that the world has lost a great man, a man of kindness, of generosity, and a man whose life was defined by the love he devoted to his family and those he so successfully led. it goes on, "leicester city was a family under his leadership. it is as a family that we will grieve his passing and maintain the pursuit of a vision for the club that is now his legacy." and, as you can see behind me,

of course, there is this an extraordinary outpouring of grief, these floral tributes have been laid and pouring in throughout the course of the day. and itjust serves as a very vivid reminder ofjust 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 of jubilation and celebration, of course, when leicester city pulled off what many people thought was simply impossible, an impossible dream, by starting the 2015—16 season as 5000—1 rank outsiders to lift the premier league trophy and somehow manage 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 is the principal reason why the many many fans who‘ve been gathering here 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, the local hospital and university, who mingled with the supporters, who was a visible presence at matches, who gave presents 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 british football clubs are criticised for not caring enough about the fans or 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: why twitter finds itself in the midst of a political battle in the us mid—term elections also on the programme:

pakistan‘s crowd —funding scheme to raise money for giant dams. indira gandhi, ruler of the world‘s largest democracy, died today. 0nly 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 phillip 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. that brings you up—to—date with some

of the papers. twitter finds itself between a rock and a hard place in the us. the democrats think the company didn‘t do enough to combat efforts to meddle in the presidential elections of 2016, while the republicans, and even the president himself, accuse the social media giant of censoring conservative tweets. so will twitter ever be able to satisfy everyone? the company‘s vice preident colin crowell has been speaking to mariko 0i. it's it‘s certainly a time in the united states, on the eve of mid—term elections, where a lot of focus will be on politics and news around political campaigns. 0ne be on politics and news around political campaigns. one of the things that is clear is that many people who use twitter, use it like a public square. so in those moment around elections, we will see a lot of the medical speech and partisans for the various prospective in that election campaign will come to the fore and they will have their peace and say their peace. —— piece. for

twitter, it is public, its real—time and we‘re working hard to make sure it isa and we‘re working hard to make sure it is a safe, secure and enjoyable platform for people to have that civic conversation. but of course, some accounts have been blocked and critics would argue that you are almost acting like a gatekeeper. how do you respond to that? well certainly, any public forum and certainly, any public forum and certainly in any public square, there are rules around how people can act on twitter. we want to make sure we are enforcing rules with respect to abuse, harassment, threats of violence, on the platform. we do that globally. we particularly wa nt platform. we do that globally. we particularly want to make sure we are cognisa nt of particularly want to make sure we are cognisant of those types of issues as we head into an election day event. determined fake news has developed somewhat and it‘s used

differently. —— the term phytophthora some governments here in asia who want to pass law to tackle in asia who want to pass law to ta ckle fa ke in asia who want to pass law to tackle fake news. that think it's understandable in any democracy to look at any attempt to misinform, deceive, voters, can be corrosive to democracy and democratic institutions. the extent to which it affects governments, it also concerns twitter as well. we want people to be deceived on digs and strategies of misinformation. as a result, we are increasingly focused on technology —— tactics. focusing on technology —— tactics. focusing on machine learning and artificial intelligence, we have been increasingly able to identify attem pts increasingly able to identify atte m pts to increasingly able to identify attempts to manipulate the twitter platform, to propagate misinformation. are you confident

that your platform is a lot mock secure ahead of the mid—term election? ——a lot more secure. secure ahead of the mid—term election? --a lot more secure. with respect to what our retrospective analysis has found which is at tents to manipulate the twitter platform to manipulate the twitter platform to deceive people —— attempts. we have had a lot of that happen around the world since the 2016 election. it's the world since the 2016 election. it‘s of this happening is gives us an opportunity to learn and develop tactics to protect integrity. we have managed to leveraged technology to deal with malicious automation which was prevalent in the 2016 us context which was prevalent in the 2016 us co ntext a nd which was prevalent in the 2016 us context and have had a much greater success context and have had a much greater success in dealing with that in the most success in dealing with that in the m ost rece nt success in dealing with that in the most recent elections in other places in the world. 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 picturesque 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 diaspora have been contributing, as well, like british businessman yasir ali. 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‘s a question of contributing 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 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 remarkable job in making things happen.

and we have full trust in our prime minister and the leadership, and here, 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 translates into hard cash. you have been watching newsday. and i‘m sharanjit leyl in singapore. and i‘m babita sharma in london. we will leave you with this seems in rio de janeiro where we will leave you with this seems in rio dejaneiro where the far right candidate jair bolsonaro beat the left candidate fernando haddad, it taking more than 50% of the vote. more to come, stay with us here on bbc world news. hello.

after a week that brought some dramatic changes in our weather, from being very mild in the middle of last week, to very cold this weekend, looks like the pattern for the week ahead will also see things swinging from one extreme to the next. pretty quiet and chilly start, milder midweek, and then potentially pretty stormy by friday. here we are first thing on monday. a widespread frost, minus five 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, feed some high cloud into northern ireland and western scotland, so the sunshine a little bit hazier here through the second part of the day. a lot of fine weather around. temperatures still, though, somewhat below average. perhaps not feeling quite as cold, though, without the keen northerly wind. overnight monday into tuesday, low pressure rolling up from the continent heads into the north sea. this is causing us some uncertainty in our forecasts for tuesday, just how closely it will graze the eastern side of the uk. at the moment, it looks like eastern counties will get some rain

and experience some quite strong winds. just how far that pushes onto our shores, though, does remain in question. for many, though, again the prospect of a reasonable day, if somewhat on the cool side. that low, however, will be away to the north tuesday into wednesday, and through wednesday daytime, we‘re going to start to feed this front in 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 the warmth we had last week, but perhaps up to 13 in london with some sunshine. some heavy rain possible further west. some sunshine for the north—east of scotland, but i think still feeling quite chilly here. but it all turns into a bit of a mixed up mess wednesday into thursday. clearest thinking for us at the moment is that we‘ll 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 west, but generally, again, not a bad day.

we‘re talking about temperatures getting into the average range of figures by the time we get to thursday. friday promises something mild. it also promises something pretty unpleasant. mild air coming in from the atlantic as this low rolls across us. this is the remnants of tropical storm oscar. it looks like a bullseye. tightly packed isobars mean strong to gale—force winds widely across the uk on friday, the potential for some very heavy rain as well. so in the week ahead, we go from a chilly, quiet, calm start again into a stormy picture. all change in the days ahead. i‘m babita sharma with bbc news. our top story: leicester city football club have confirmed that their chairman, thai businessman vichai srivaddhanaprabha was among those killed in a helicopter crash on saturday evening. he died along with four other people when the helicopter crashed outside the stadium. no—one on—board survived. the far—right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has claimed victory in brazil‘s presidential election, beating fernando haddad from the left—wing workers‘ party with 55% of the vote. and this video is trending on bbc.com. a new zealander has won his fourth world scrabble championship title at
