search and rescue? well, sally, in the last half an hour or so, from what we understand, search and rescue vessels, the indonesian authorities say, have actually reached the area where they believe is the location of the plane crash and, according to their official twitter feed, this is and, according to their official twitterfeed, this is information coming through on indonesia's search and rescue twitter feed, coming through on indonesia's search and rescue twitterfeed, they coming through on indonesia's search and rescue twitter feed, they are showing photographs of what they believe to be part of that aircraft that they say crashed earlier today. now, just to remind our audiences of what happened this morning. the passenger plane was on its way from jakarta, the mainjakarta airport, to pangkal pinang, to the largest city in the bangka island island district. what we understand from what officials said in a televised press c0 nfe re nce what officials said in a televised press conference earlier today, it was carrying 178 adults, one child,

two babies, two pilots as well as six flight attendants, that information coming from the search and rescue agency in indonesia that is responsible for the search. as i have said, they already have at least one vessel in the area, from what officials have said previously as well, they are sending helicopters to the area, and there are images of things like safety jackets, some possessions that they believe to be from people on the plane, they are still on the lookout for survivors, and they‘ re plane, they are still on the lookout for survivors, and they're hoping that they will find some. the search and rescue operation is expected to continue throughout the day and hopefully there will be more updates in the hours to come. as we have been reporting, the plane losing contact just 13 minutes been reporting, the plane losing contactjust 13 minutes after takeoff. we understand it was in difficulty right from the get go? yes, sally, iwas difficulty right from the get go? yes, sally, i was speaking with an aviation analyst earlier today who

has been analysing the flight data, the path of the aeroplane as it went from jakarta to pangkal pinang and, as you say, within 30 minutes it lost co nta ct as you say, within 30 minutes it lost contact with air traffic control. what he said to me was that it appeared, according to the data he has analysed, that the aeroplane had difficulties from the get go, from the very beginning, when it took off he said it had had difficulty trying to stay level. now, of course, there is no confirmation of what exactly happened to the plane. and in fact officials from indonesia's search and rescue agency said they were know what happened until they find the black box of this crashed aeroplane but as search and rescue operations continue i think more details will become clear throughout the rest of the day. 0k, thank you so the rest of the day. 0k, thank you so much, karishma, from singapore, with the very latest on that story. of course, when we find out more detail, we will let you know, keep you across what has happened there.

the far—right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won brazil's presidential election. with all the ballots counted, he has 55% of the vot, beating fernando—haddad from the left—wing workers‘ party. in a victory speech, mr bolsonaro said he would protect freedoms and democracy, and vowed to change the destiny of brazil. here's our south american correspondent katy watson. brazilians have voted for change and it is this man who promises to deliver it. at jair bolsonaro is a politician who divides the country. brazil's next president stirs strong emotions on both sides. he has been a congressman nearly 30 years but he sold himself as an outsider, a clean politician who wants to stamp out graft. his campaign was built on the hatred of the workers‘ party, the left—wing group founded by former president lula da silva, who is currently in prison for corruption. against abortion, jair bolsonaro is

a defender of traditional family values but he has also come under fire for his misogynistic, racist and homophobic optics. —— comments. he said he would rather have a dead sunday gave some. perhaps controversial, though, in a country that lived through military dictatorship and only return to democracy 30 years ago is his love of the military. the former army officer has praised torture in the past and thinks the military can help bring back rule to brazil. the campaign has been dramatic from the start. just last month he was stabbed while out on a rally. he has 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 he won there would be a cleansing like never before. translation: it would 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 homeland. he has referred cash he is referred to as the drum of the tropics. some say he is rhetoric is closer to rodrigo duterte a the philippines and he promises change. but many fear what that change will mean for brazil. let‘s brief you on some of the other stories making the news. a regional election in germany has cast doubt over the future of the country‘s governing coalition. both the main parties, the christian democrats and social democrats, lost support in hesse state; the greens did well. the outcome is likely to increase tensions in the governing coalition in berlin especially as it follows setbacks in the bavarian elections earlier this month. more than 100 enviromental activists have been arrested as they protested against the clearing of germany‘s ancient forests by a utility company. hundreds of people had blocked a railway which the company was using to transfer coal.

the company has been heavily criticised over its plans with a major protest taking place last month. georgia‘s presidential election will need a second round of voting after neither of the leading candidates secured an outright majority. french born salome zurabishvili is leading the voting so far. this is the last time an election will be held for the largely ceremonial post. future presidents will be decided by an electoral college picked from the country‘s legislators. it‘s been confirmed the owner of leicester city football club was killed when his helicopter crashed shortly after take off on saturday. vichai srivaddhanaprabha was the 61—year—old billionaire who bought the club in 2010 and financed its rise to premier league champion two years ago. he died along with two of his staff, the pilot and another passenger. lauren moss has the latest. a football club with a broken heart.

leicester city fans are coming to terms with the loss of vichai srivaddhanaprabha, the chairman who transformed them into premier league champions. this is the devastating crash site, when the helicopter came down ina crash site, when the helicopter came down in a car park outside the king power stadium just moments after taking off on saturday night. leicestershi re taking off on saturday night. leicestershire police has now named the four others who were on board. the pilot, eric swafferfrom guildford and his girlfriend isabella rose lekovic, she too was a qualified pilot and named one of poland‘s most inspirational women. two members of vichai srivaddhanaprabha‘s staff also died, including a former miss thailand universe finalist. supporters have been laying scarves and flowers to remember and honour the owner whom the club has called the great man.

he was a very, very friendly man. he brought city up from nothing really. and when we were in the premiership i really think we won it because of him. the family have done so much for us and for city, and for it to be taken for us and for city, and for it to be ta ken away, for us and for city, and for it to be taken away, it is awful. we remembercoming here a be taken away, it is awful. we remember coming here a couple of years ago when we won the premiership, and to come here today and see this, and what he has brought to the club, the community, it has been absolutely amazing. mr srivaddhanaprabha bought leicester in 2010. he became part of world football folklore when they won the premier league in 2016, the most unlikely and glorious victory in the history of english football. members of that team are in shock. jamie vardy has called him a legend with an incredible height. christian fuchs has posted a simple tribute with the words "thank you". and ham harry mcguire says he will never

forget the chairman‘s support. the initial investigation into what caused saturday‘s tragedy is expected to take several days. while our city is in mourning, remembering, as one side says, the relief, pride, thejoy and the memories. we will be going live to thailand shortly for more on that story, but now let‘s focus on the big event here in the uk: the uk‘s finance minister, chancellor philip hammond, is preparing to present the country‘s last budget before brexit. earlier this month prime minister theresa may promised an end to austerity and mr hammond will be under pressure to spell out how that will work. oliver cornock, editor—in—chief at the oxford business group, joins me now. it is nice to see you. so, it‘s a very difficult budget to deliver today, isn‘t it, given the fact that the chancellor doesn‘t know what the brexit deal is, just like the rest of us, and yet he has to plan ahead

with very little information. yes, he said very much that unless there isa he said very much that unless there is a deal, this may need to change. this is the spending plan for the next year for the united this is the spending plan for the next yearfor the united kingdom. difficult because of coarse theresa may the british prime minister said at her conference in her big speech that this was the end of austerity which, in many senses, sally, has left the uk in a better position to face the difficulties of brexit, but the ultimate problem for all of us, the ultimate problem for all of us, the chancellor is the big one at the moment today, we don‘t know what brexit will look like. and he said yesterday that he may need to change those plans if there is no deal. he of course is a supporter of theresa may‘s controversial chequers plan, looking at the average free trade agreement, now, should no agreement come that will have to change. and also as well she said at the conservative party conference, her speech, which was very closely watch, that this was marking the end of austerity, that we have all had

to live with austerity since the globalfinancial to live with austerity since the global financial crisis and now it is coming to an end, almost telling us is coming to an end, almost telling us there will be some giveaways, but they might not be many at all. you can almost see the chancellor bursting into a sweat when she said that because it was quite a strong commitment, since the financial crisis the thumb screws have been turned on tax and spending an interesting today philip hammond has committed to not only mental health and big—ticket issues, but also simple things like potholes on the roads, nuts and bolts stuff, which the british people get really excited about, but it all rests on what will happen with brexit and of course the brexit dividend, the cash windfall that might come from a positive deal. all right, thank you for now. oliver will be back later with more from the news briefing. and online, to watch from the budget, our correspondent, and many on the team in the bbc business unit, will be busy keeping you across the budget. still to come: lewis hamilton pays tribute to his team after winning a fifth formula 1 world championship.

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.

you are watching the briefing. our headlines: with a promise to protect freedom and democracy, jair bolsonaro, the far—right candidate, wins brazil‘s presidential election. a passenger plane has crashed into the sea off the indonesian coast with 188 people on board. a sea rch—and—rescue operation is underway. let‘s return to the helicopter crash that has killed five people, including the thai owner of leicester city football club. jonathan head is our correspondent in bangkok. he is outside the headquarters of king power, the business owned by mrvichai. how are they remembering him that?

not at all, in fact. the company is ina not at all, in fact. the company is in a state of paralysis, really, given that it is a strictly family run company, and the other senior members of the family, his children, have gone to the uk to deal with mr vichai ‘s death. nobody in the company appears to know what to do. there has been literally no indication, no statement, no sign whatsoever that this company is in crisis, which in effect it must be now. mr vichai built this company from nothing in 1989 on the back of a very controversial monopoly on duty—free sales. it was a very personally run company, rather secretly run as well. not a lot of information given out about it. it isa information given out about it. it is a private company, not a public company, and you get the sense here

that nobody has any idea what to do. the impact of his death is not being noted at all here, unlike the scenes that you are getting outside leicester city football club.|j that you are getting outside leicester city football club. i was just going to say, jonathan, in leicester it self it was notjust the football club that he ploughed his money into, but many projects in the city as well, which is unusual in many ways. we are quite used to having foreign owners of football clu bs having foreign owners of football clubs in the uk, but not that invest so much into the city as well as the club. is that how he was known there in thailand as well, or not? well, not really. i mean, he is one of the richest men in the country. he is the fourth richest. people have long criticised the way in which he has made his money. i mean, having duty—free sales as a monopoly is a virtual goldmine in a country that has so many tourists coming through. but like every big tycoon he has very publicly given to charity here, but they all do. big business in this country is controlled by a very few people, and those who control key sectors as mr vichai did here are extremely wealthy, and they do understand the expectation they are

supposed to give to charity. but there are critics, although in the climate in thailand where someone like vichai has so much influence, they tend to be quite muted, who tend to question why few people have so much control over the economy. it is very much an oligarchy. so the image he has here is a tricky one to evaluate because he was so secretive here, even by the standards of sino—thai tycoons. and everything the leicester city fans to that smiling public figure, loving going to the games and being part of the fans, just wasn‘t part of his life here when he was in the high society set and never really mixed with ordinary people. thank you, jonathan head, in bangkok, outside the headquarters of king power, the company owned by mr vichai. now it is time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i‘m chetan pathak, with your monday sport breifing. coming up: manchester city boss

pep guardiola stays cool about an nfl match being played at wembley a day before his team plays there. lewis hamilton makes it five f1 world titles. and barcelona hit five past real madrid. the ninth and final atp world tour masters 1,000 event of the season starts in paris on monday. it is the last chance for players to clinch the remaining spots for the season—ending atp finals in london later this month. kevin anderson and kei nishikori, who played in sunday‘s vienna open final, which was won by the south african, will both be in action later in the week. they are among the big names to have a bye through the qualfying round in paris, along with top seeds rafeal nadal, novak djokovic and roger federer. manchester city have the chance to go back to the top of the english premier league if they beat tottenham at wembley later on monday. after chelsea‘s win, pep guardiola‘s side are third. meanwhile, the city boss refused to complain about the pitch his side

will play on, with an nfl match being held at wembley a day before. i think the premier league doesn‘t like too much, but it is what it is. hopefully tottenham can finish the stadium as quickly as possible, but it is what it is, so it‘s not necessary to complain about that. so we have adapt, quickly. lewis hamilton has made history and won his fifth formula one world title, after getting the points he needed at the mexican grand prix. hamilton, who only needed to come seventh, has finished in fourth place. his title rival sebastian vettel was second, whilst the race was won by red bull‘s max verstappen, who managed to overtake pole—sitter daniel ricciardo on the opening lap. i‘ve been wanting to say this since

i was 13. so to complete this, you know, when we have done it with mercedes, was an incredible feeling, and very surreal at the moment. . barcelona are top of la liga after thrashing rivals real madrid 5—1 in el clasico. there may have been no lionel messi, but barcelona didn‘t miss their superstar at all, philippe coutinho opening the scoring for the home side early on. real managed to pull it back to 2—1 just after the break. but barca weathered the storm and took control. suarez scored a hatrick to help send barca to the top of la liga, while the defeat piles even more pressure on real managerjulen lopetegui. and before we go, it is one of the times we end with a so—called football blooper that is doing the rounds on social media. it is a moment to forget for feyenoord goalkeeperjustin bijlow.

just over 20 minutes into their dutch eredivisie match, keep in mind feyenoord had already had a man sent off, frenkie dejong got hold of the ball and did this. at first it looked as though the keeper might have got there, but replays showed the ball rolling through his legs and just over the line. ajax went on to win 3—0. and that went down as a goalkeeper own—goal. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that‘s bbc.com/sport. but from me, chetan pathak, and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. here is our briefing on some of the key events happening later. we begin in london at 9:00am gmt, where the index of african governance will be published. it measures performance across 5a countries in areas like rule of law and human rights.

at the same time, in austria, eu transport ministers are set to discuss the abolition of daylight savings. many have seen the clock changes over the weekend. should we keep daylight savings or not? and finally, in oregon, a trial will begin for a lawsuit brought by young activists arguing the us government has violated their constitutional rights by failing to protect them against climate change. syria‘s national museum has partially reopened in damascus for the first time in six years. much of its collection had been moved to protect it from damage during the civil war. the reopening is another attempt by the government to try to show that syria is returning to some kind of normality. the bbc‘s tim allman has more. applause opening the doors on the past, after years of conflict. this museum, established nearly a century ago, was shut in 2012, the country‘s

civil war far too close for comfort. translation: it was hard work at the beginning. we put a strategy in place to protect the syrian museum. we emptied all the museums and moved their contents to safe places. we saved the majority of the pieces in the syrian museum. these were years of brutal fighting, of looting, of destruction. perhaps the most visible example — the ancient city of palmyra, overrun and partially destroyed by the so—called islamic state. one of its treasures, the lion of al—lat, rescued and now restored here at the gardens of the museum, a symbol of survival and endurance. translation: when all the doors of the museums are opened, it is then we can say the doors of peace have been opened in syria, and that hope has returned to this country.

but i can assure everyone that we‘ve been able to save 3,000 pieces of antiquity from theft and destruction. it has been a savage war. hundreds of thousands of lives been lost. the assad regime remains. but somehow, a huge part of syria‘s cultural heritage has been preserved. stay with me on bbc news. i‘ll be back with the business briefing in just a few moments. we will take a more in—depth look at the outlook for brazil and the economy in particular now that it has a new president, jair bolsonaro has a new president, jair bolsonaro has been elected, the first leader on the right for 13 years. i will see you very on the right for 13 years. i will see you very soon. hello.

in the space ofjust a few days, we went from balmy weather to biting northerlies. in the week ahead, some very dramatic changes to come, too. we start off fairly calm, if rather chilly, a little bit milder midweek, and then potentially stormy by friday. here we are first thing on monday with a widespread frost. rural lows down to “11 or —5. a little milder for eastern coastal counties, here because we‘re bringing in the breeze in off the north sea. also some showers off the breeze as it continues through monday. to the west, the weather front trying to push in. doesn‘t get very far, but feeds some high cloud into northern ireland and western scotland. hazy sunshine here. decent day for many, but it will still feel cool. perhaps not as cold as the weekend without the northerly. an easterly breeze, highs of 8—10. overnight monday into tuesday, our weather front pushes across us and basically fizzles out. but this low to the east, coming up from the continent, could graze eastern coastal

counties on tuesday, bringing some very heavy rain and strong winds. some uncertainty about the positioning of that at the moment. it may even push a little bit further across us. for many, though, a decent day. again, slightly on the cool side, with temperatures somewhere between 7 and 10 degrees. it‘s tuesday into wednesday that our pattern starts to change, with the low pushing to the north and to the north sea. finally we can allow something to come in from the west, and a southerly airstream to develop for wednesday. finally, some milder air coming into the south of the uk, temperatures back closer to average. possibly some heavy rain, though, courtesy of that weather front. the north—east of scotland, ahead of it, will get some decent sunshine through the day, but it will still feel rather chilly here. wednesday into thursday, we‘re talking about heavier rain targeting eastern england. in the west, there might be a few coastal showers. but overall, thursday a reasonable day, with fairly average temperatures,

and light winds from the west or south—west. by the end of the week, we‘re facing the prospect of a deep area of low pressure rolling our way, containing the remnants of tropical storm oscar. warm tropical air tied up in this system, so it will bump our temperatures up to average values, but it looks like it will bring us widespread gales and a very heavy rain. so again, as you see, for the course of the next five days, dramatic changes ahead. this is the business briefing. i‘m sally bundock. high debt, high unemployment and sluggish growth — we look at the economic challenges facing brazil‘s new president. and shinzo abe pledges to strengthen co—operation with india, as narenda modi‘s visit to japan draws to a close. and on the markets, it‘s a mixed picture in asia right now, and the dramatic swings that marked last week have abated for now, but investors remain on edge.
