6:05 am
chancellor phillip hammond will deliver his last budget before brexit today. it's understood there'll be extra money for mental health services in england as part of a £20 billion boost for the nhs, which was announced injune. but the chancellor is under pressure to find extra funding for other public services after years of austerity. political correspondent ben wright reports. a mid—afternoon budget on monday is very unusual, and so is the backdrop to philip hammond's statement later, because with the uk set to leave the eu in five months‘ time, he doesn't know if there will be a brexit deal with the eu or not. the impact on his plans for the economy could be huge. but some commitments have already been made. the government has promised to set aside an extra £2 billion a year for round—the—clock mental health support in major a&e centres in england. there will also be more specialist ambulances and new dedicated mental health teams in schools. the money is part of the £20 billion boost to nhs funding announced in june.
6:06 am
the treasury has also set aside a £30 billion package for england's roads, with money to repair motorways and potholes. there will be more money spent on business rates relief for small businesses, and funds for rejuvenating high streets. and the chancellor is expected to announce another freeze in fuel duty. one big consideration for philip hammond is the prime minister's pledge at the tory party conference earlier this month to bring austerity to an end after eight years of cuts. big tax and spending decisions will come next year, but the chancellor will try and match rhetoric with money. he's also mindful of the calls from labour and tory mps to help people make the transition onto universal credit. there's a lot of concern in the commons about that. but with no parliamentary majority, and no certainty about the impact brexit will have on the economy, the chancellor is likely to be cautious rather than bold. ben wright, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, is in downing street.
6:07 am
i suppose it's a tricky one to judge, this budget, as ever, isn't it? 0ther it? other good morning, yeah, it's going to be another balancing act. the big question, of course, how farthe chancellor will go to the prime minister's promise of an end to austerity. we know he's prudent and he said yesterday he will continue what he has taken so far, balanced approach between spending and tax. he's got a bit more money to play with because tax receipts are slightly better than expected, and so slightly better than expected, and so is borrowing, but whether he gives all that away we'll have to see. he's signalled he's concerned about the uncertainty of brexit, saying if there is no deal with brussels might have to throw this budget out of the window and start all over again. 0verall, while we can expect some bigger boys ben talked about in his piece, towards
6:08 am
roads, the health service, mental health and business rates, overall philip hammond will continue a balanced approach rather than a big budget bonanza. we will see. alex, thank you. a plane with 188 people on board has crashed into the sea off indonesia. the lion air boeing aircraft went down a few minutes after taking off from the capital jakarta for the regional city of pangkal pinang. a rescue operation has been launched and debris has been found at the scene. let's get the latest from karishma vaswani, who's in singapore. what more do we know? what i can tell you is at this stage indonesian search and rescue officials have said to us that vessels belonging to them have reached the area where believe the plane crashed, the waters off the coast of karawang. that's where they found things like debris from the aircraft. they believe also possessions they believe also possessions they believe were belonging to those on board, and safety jackets,
6:09 am
lifejackets, those kinds of things. the search and rescue area is currently being scoured for any survivors. 0fficials currently being scoured for any survivors. officials have also sent helicopters to the waters to see whether they can find anyone. what we know at this point is the plane was on its way from jakarta to pangkal pinang and at this stage it is difficult to say, authorities have told us, what caused the crash but they're looking for the black box as any hope of further survivors continues. the far—right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won brazil's presidential election with 55% of the vote. he had campaigned on a promise to eradicate corruption and to drive down brazil's high crime rate. but he had been accused of racism and sexism. during the campaign he was stabbed and seriously injured at a rally. in a victory speech he promised to protect freedom and democracy and change brazil's destiny. the 11 people killed in a mass shooting at a us synagogue have been identified by police. they include two brothers
6:10 am
and an elderly married couple. a multi—faith memorial service has been held in pittsburgh. the man accused of the killings, robert bowers, will appear in court later today. it's been described as one of the worst anti—semitic attacks in recent us history. the duke and duchess of sussex have met with volunteers at a new zealand cafe that helps to highlight mental health issues. they then met with school children who were waiting outside. one little boy, joe, seemingly shy at his royal encounter, was given a hug from his teacher as he met meghan, and was tickled by harry as the prince tried to cheer him up. a hand over his face i think. i'm not sure the tackle quite worked, did it? not sure it worked! but he tried. i suppose it's worth a go -- tickle. lewis hamilton celebrating again! he
6:11 am
has the habit of this, his fifth formula 1 world title, but he didn't win the race, that of a scramble at the end with a bit of confusion but it doesn't matter. the briton finished fourth in mexico which was enough to seal the title. that puts him level with the legendary driver juan manuel fangio on five world titles. 0k, guys, i'm out. it's been an incredible journey. 0k, guys, i'm out. it's been an incrediblejourney. this 0k, guys, i'm out. it's been an incredible journey. this year's 0k, guys, i'm out. it's been an incrediblejourney. this year's been the toughest year so far but i know there's more great things to come and more big tough challenges other head. we still have a title to win for the team, so that's my sole focus now. i'm heading to los angeles, i'm going to hopefully see my angeles, i'm going to hopefully see s angeles, i'm going to hopefully see my dogs tomorrow and then back to the uk where i'm going to see the team. our what to say a big thank you to everyone who's come out and supported me throughout the year, travelled around the world, thank you so much to team lh —— i want to say. manchester united ease
6:12 am
the pressure on their manager jose mourinho with a win over everton. aberdeen will meet celtic in the scottish league cup final after their dramatic late win over rangers. and these are the scenes of celebration in boston after the red sox won baseball's world series. they beat los angeles dodgers in la to take the series 4—1. i love that, lots ofjumping, happy people. that's what you need. my favourite quote this morning is lewis hamilton saying he's flying home to los angeles to see his dogs. i met one of them, he brought the dog to the red carpet at sports personality of the year.|j dog to the red carpet at sports personality of the year. i thought i had seen him somewhere. which one? ifi had seen him somewhere. which one? if i look back... you're namedropping dogs without knowing
6:13 am
the name of them! it had a very butch name, like a little pug of french bulldog. you're staying with us french bulldog. you're staying with us for the papers, but shall we catch up with the weather? cold this morning. freezing. matt is at westonbi rt morning. freezing. matt is at westonbirt arboretum for us this morning, were later it will warm up and we will get some beautiful views. hopefully! the good news is because of the clock change, it gets lighter that bit earlier. good morning. iam lighter that bit earlier. good morning. i am at westonbirt arboretum, here in... here in gloucestershire. we've been amongst the beautiful autumn colours through the beautiful autumn colours through the morning, we've all had a taste of winter this past weekend, as many had, snow in eastern parts of the country with widespread frost today. temperatures as low as —5 in some spots at the moment, but a week of change. let's look at the forecast. after a cold and frosty start to the new working week, things will turn milder but there will be a price to
6:14 am
pay towards the of the week as things turned wet and windy and for one 01’ things turned wet and windy and for one or two, quite stormy as we finished the week into next weekend. that's a little way away but this morning, most clear and frosty. a lovely start to the working week, a breath of fresh air. the weather front to the west held off by high pressure over scandinavia at the moment and because that's there, we still have an easterly wind and that's bringing showers across eastern part of scotland and eastern england to start the day. a couple might contain the odd flurry of sleet and snow. some rain showers towards the channel islands through the day, some in the east of northern ireland and across parts of the hebrides. for the vast majority, a dry day, a sunny day, but a rather cool one. after a frosty start, only single figures for the vast majority, maybe ten in the south—east but tempered by the breeze. into tonight, a few changes
6:15 am
in eastern areas and it turns a bit cloudier. the greater chance of rain at times in eastern areas and a bit windy. clear skies to the west and here we will see a frost into tomorrow morning, temperatures at their lowest, “1! or —5 again. into tuesday, an east—west split, eastern areas cloudier than today, not more wind in east anglia and the south—east and close to gale force wind outbreaks of rain. how wet it is, uncertain at the moment, showers running from the likes of northern ireland, down 20 wales the north—west midlands. into wednesday, a change in wind direction —— down to not wales. raising the temperature but bringing outbreaks of rain —— down to north wales. heavy bursts at times, quite breezy but sunshine here and there and a better day on wednesday compare it to tuesday in the eastern half of the country. by the end of wednesday, temperatures back in the teens in the south—east, 13 —— compared to. lifting further through
6:16 am
the rest of the week. but as i said, it could turn windy towards the end, so it could turn windy towards the end, so enjoy the crisp, frosty, sunny morning we have this morning. back to you both. i think the gloves and the coat tells the story. and we could see him by the end! let's take a look at today's papers, and the leicester helicopter crash that killed the owner of the city's football club is on many of the front pages. back pages as well. including of course the leicester mercury newspaper which says the city is in mourning. the daily mail reports that the pilot, eric swaffer, saved lives by steering the helicopter away from crowds before it crashed. the guardian reports chancellor philip hammond is set to announce an increase in mental health funding as part of today's budget. the picture shows brazil's new far right leaderjair bolsonaro. and the express says 500 people in england and wales die as a result of complications caused by diabetes every week. the paper says causes of death "could have been avoided if patients were supported to manage their condition effectively".
6:17 am
let's take a look at the inside pages. steph and sally are here. often papers will get stories. the choice todayis papers will get stories. the choice today is the story about the price of sandwiches which will go up because of the plastic that is used, the plastic film that is used to pakistan which, there is no other technology at a stick which currently exists to make these sandwiches. —— pack a sandwich. it's going to mean that the companies that make these sandwiches and packaging are going to face a tax on the existing way that we packaged sandwiches. lots of people at the minute are trying to work out if there is another way to package these sandwiches. currently it
6:18 am
doesn't exist. there must be a way! what about in the shop, theyjust do it in what about in the shop, theyjust do itina what about in the shop, theyjust do it in a paper bag, don't they? but i suppose you want to see it. —— what about a cheese butty?|j suppose you want to see it. —— what about a cheese butty? i don't know, it to be honest. it could be a hit on their margins. we are talking about getting rid of that plastic waste that you don't think about all the consequences of it in terms of what you pay. lots and lots and lots of the back pages have these really desperately sad pictures from the weekend. you see just masses of flowers being left off what the guardian called lester's darkest day. we will be talking about it throughout the programme today. ——
6:19 am
leicester's. and the incredible job that the pilot did to guide it away from the crowd. it could have been even worse. but also the papers also need to focus on lewis hamilton. why not so many people are watching formula 1 on television the statement with a it's a really good question! he doesn't answer it in one simple way to the audience numbers have gone down over the last few years, certainly since he won his first world title. to people might say it's because people are watching it in different ways, maybe anipad watching it in different ways, maybe an ipad ortheir watching it in different ways, maybe an ipad or their phone, but there is fio an ipad or their phone, but there is no getting away from the fact that not so many people are watching it and ashley, is going to go completely onto pay—tv —— actually. so there will be even fewer people watching it. one thing that isn't suggested is that sometimes the
6:20 am
races can be a bit boring... we also know that glenn hoddle was taken ill on the weekend and another hero, simon daniels, also a volunteer policeman and managed to basically give him cpr and save his life. policeman and managed to basically give him cpr and save his lifem interesting, isn't it? everyone sees us interesting, isn't it? everyone sees us here every day. there are a team of people behind the cameras who look after us every day and that man there stepped in and probably saved his life and performed cpr but interestingly, doesn't want any fuss. just did what was necessary to give him a fighting chance and now says leave me alone. at quick peek inside the daily mail. this is my favourite story today. you will see at people in a queue, queueing to get into a terrace house to see a quy get into a terrace house to see a guy who has been described as a new
6:21 am
and secret lowry. it turns out his secret pictures are rather good. queueing up the stairs to get into that bedroom to see the pictures. what is he paints pictures of? street scenes. similar to the lowry work which is obviously a bit more famous. you have been out and about with these special boards, steph? we are talking about the budget and obviously the chancellor is saying he wants to end austerity and also give more money to the nhs and various other things but of course, the big question is, how will he pay for it? with all of these things it could be a mix of paying more,, maybe a few different taxes. the government have borrowed more money. 0h. government have borrowed more money. oh. well, i have been out and asking
6:22 am
people what they think. just in terms of what the public think, we talk about what the experts say we should do so i went out and about to ask people what we should do it quickly to see a bit of that later on. i want to use your boards as well. terabit bad, i'm sorry. terabit batted. —— they are a bit battered. so it's budget day — the last one before brexit — and all eyes are on the chancellor. there's plenty of speculation about what might be announced, but while we wait for phillip hammond to deliver his speech, let's speak to labour's shadow treasury minister, jonathan reynolds, whojoins us now from westminster. we have heard theresa may talking about the end to austerity. presumably is that something you would welcome? absolutely. i think you are right to say that this is the only test by which the country willjudge the budget today. having announced the end of austerity at
6:23 am
the party conference speech, it is going to be down to the chancellor to introduce that. people would imagine that would be an end to that departmental spending, putting a lot of pressure on public services, special and local government. —— especially. working age people who are going out to work who could receive universal credit, that was what i was expecting to see today. let's look about funding and where, for example, you would find the money from. step has been out speaking to people in sheffield. should people pay more? —— steph. yes, we handed down a costing document. some taxes increased, some modest rises in income taxes for the top percentage of income earners. we
6:24 am
are very clear about this. the public are now at a point when they have seen the impact of austerity. they have seen the amount of police officers they have lost, all the people not getting the social care that they need may think they are willing to have that conversation. asa willing to have that conversation. as a politician, you need to be clear about it. that is something the government felt they weren't able to do and that has put the chancellor in the difficult position at times in this parliament. if he is going to announce these big increases today, it can'tjust be about temporary measures. it has to be that taxpayers might have to be increased. the whole judgement of the budget might have to be adjusted to meet those promises. what about businesses? they are absolutely crucial. you don't get your funding for public services unless you have strong and thriving business sector. there are a lot of issues facing businesses at today. what we have seen is maybe a wrong set of priorities from the government. they have gone from big cuts to
6:25 am
corporation tax and i would say there is a much bigger issue. there —— these are all the things the chancellor has to address today. austerity is aimed at mrs and individuals and is there going to be a very clear delivery today. there was another promise i was going to ask you about that going to be in the budget. spending in mental health is to rise by £2 billion per year. is it right, do you think, to have parity between physical illness and mental illness? of course, that's the right thing to do. i'm not sure £2 billion will meet at promise of parity. that is money that has already been announced in terms of the health service increase that was announced several months ago. what we are going to need to hear today is not just ago. what we are going to need to hear today is notjust where that money might go to but how it will be paid for and crucially, will austerity and for a really government department as well seeing the increase in the health service.
6:26 am
if it doesn't look like austerity has ended in schools or local government, and i think the budget will have been a today. thank you. we will also be talking to the health secretary, matt hancock. crucially as well, whether money is going to come from. it's always the big question on budget day. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news and welcome to our viewers in the south—east, i'm sara 0rchard. every night it's believed hundreds of people are sleeping on london's night buses. they are referred to as the capital's "hidden homeless. it's now become such an issue, city hall is spending almost a quarter of a million pounds sending charity workers onto the most slept—on buses to offer help. a new great thames park in the thames estuary is expected to be unveiled in this afternoon's budget. it's expected that a study will be approved into the new park that aims to celebrate and maximise the value of the area's natural assets. it's hoped it could improve access to and use of the river thames for both pedestrians and cyclists. experts think they may have found a self portrait drawn
6:27 am
by sir walter raleigh in the tower of london, where he was imprisoned. the infamous writer and adventurer was held in the bloody tower before his execution 400 years ago today. the mural was discovered during renovation work in preparation for a new exhibition. we know pretty much around the time it would have been put and we know that coincides with when he was a prisoner here. we need to uncover more of the painting to see if it is actually him. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, we have severe delays metropolitan line, minor delays on the 0verground and a part—suspension on the picadilly. 0n the roads, mile end road is closed in both directions between mile end and stepney green tube stations following a collision. in central london, aldwych is partly blocked near bush house because of a collision. in the city the a1211 minories is closed northbound between tower hill and aldgate high street for emergency repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with lucy martin. it was a chilly weekend and it looks set to stay fairly cool as we move through the day today. it does come

6:31 am
the far right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won brazil's presidential election, with 55% of the vote. he had campaigned on a promise to eradicate corruption and to drive down brazil's high crime rate. but he had been accused of racism and sexism. during the campaign he was stabbed and seriously injured at a rally. in a victory speech he promised to protect freedom and democracy and change brazil's destiny. the 11 people killed in a mass shooting at a us synagogue have been identified by police. they include two brothers and an elderly married couple. a multi—faith memorial service has been held in pittsburgh. the man accused of the killings, robert bowers, will appear in court later today. it's been described as one of the worst anti—semitic attacks in recent us history. we know leicester city have confirmed the owner was among the
6:32 am
five people who died when the owner crashed outside the stadium. jonathan head is in bangkok. we've heard all of the tributes in leicester, give us a sense of how big a name he is where you are. he's a very big—name but as yet there's been very little reaction. were outside the headquarters of his company, king power, that he built up company, king power, that he built up in1989 on company, king power, that he built up in 1989 on the back of a lucrative and controversial monopoly of duty—free sales. that funded his investment into leicester city. most of the family, and this is a strictly family run business, a very private business, it's not listed, have gone to britain to deal with the death of their father, the patriarch of the business, the staff don't know what to do here. it's a company in crisis. thailand hasn't absorbed it yet. it took awhile to getan absorbed it yet. it took awhile to get an official statement, partly because of the absence of the
6:33 am
family, even though we knew he was on the helicopter. it's big news here, the forth bridge is man in the country, controlled one of the most lucrative businesses but he was very private, he kept the business private, he kept the business private, he kept the business private, he moved in elite circles and he didn't cut the kind of public figure here he did for leicester city fans so you'll get a different reaction here, much more of an elite, elusive business figure here than he was in britain where he made ita than he was in britain where he made it a kind of second home for himself. thank you, jonathan. we will talk about that through the morning on breakfast. also celebrations for lewis hamilton and rightly so. absolutely, fantastic shot of him behind you, waving to the crowd after securing his fifth world title yesterday. he becomes the third man in history to win five formula 1 world titles. he finished fourth at the mexican grand prix.
6:34 am
the all time record holder remains michael schumacher, with a total of seven titles, followed by legendary argentinian racing driver juan manuel fangio who hamilton now shares the position with. here was his reaction. i think it's going to take a while to kick in, but honestly i feel very humble right now. it's a very humbling experience, you know? of course i dreamt of it, and i worked towards it, but did i know i was going to get numberfive? 0f towards it, but did i know i was going to get number five? of course not, of course not. even today, all these things going against us. it was nerve racking, it was quite an emotional race because it started off break and i couldn't hold onto it and off break and i couldn't hold onto itandi off break and i couldn't hold onto it and i was falling further back. i held on, kept pushing and i noted the car as much as i could to get home. joining us now is motoring expert and presenter torie campbell. really interesting seeing his reaction, you've worked with him extensively. he went to la, seeing
6:35 am
his dogs, he's a quirky character. i've been lucky, i've worked with him a lot, i documented his career since he started with mercedes. he has the ability to stay coolheaded. it is so important in this sport. sitting in these cars is incredible. terrifying. not only is your personal vision limited, the heat in there. the exertion on your body. it is insane. the ability to stay coolheaded and calm is brilliant. you were there on the first testing
6:36 am
day at mercedes, was it obvious he had something special that would make him this good?|j had something special that would make him this good? i think it was... he's had something special about him since he was eight. he started karting at eight years old and by ten he was british karting champion. three years on from that, he was taken on for the young drivers with mclaren and mercedes. it is lovely he has stayed with those. he started with mclaren. his first day with mercedes was fantastic. actually that was a pivotal point of his career because when hejoined mercedes, they weren't at the top of the game. that's when we saw formula 1 really change and we saw the power units come into play. he made a very wise decision moving at that point. i had a chat with him and it was against his father's advice, who he has stuck with very closely, and he's been very supported by. it was a
6:37 am
pretty major decision for him, pivotal point. his achievements are extraordinary, wonder if the coolness you talk about makes it harderfor people to coolness you talk about makes it harder for people to connect with him in the way they might have done with nigel mansell a generation ago, 01’ with nigel mansell a generation ago, orjames hunt, for instance. you're right, there's definitely an element of that and undeservedly he gets a bit of for his off track activities. he does so well. speaking as a mother, i've got a little boy who's very sporty but he's so creative and what a role model to have, somebody who will push both of those sides. he gets stick and i don't know why because he was launching his tommy hilfiger range in september, two weeks before that he travelled more than he did for the entire year. he came back and he smashed the singapore grand prix. maybe it gives him that little bit of energy, and it works and i think we should
6:38 am
celebrate that. maybe people don't like him being good at lots of different things. maybe. a bit of jealousy. we're running out of time but did he really record a single with christina aguilera this summer? i don't think he's admitted it. i can tell you... he's very coolheaded, and when you watch him before a race, he's got his headphones on and he's listening to his own music. there's a little... exclusive. a little exclusive for you, yep. and you may have heard him! brilliant! nice questions! lovely to talk to you. thank you very much indeed. away from formula one, the football was overshadowed by the death on saturday of leicester city owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha. leicester have postponed their efl cup match against southampton that was due to take place tomorrow evening after it was confirmed he was one of five to lose their lives in a helicopter crash outside their king power stadium. the three premier league
6:39 am
matches yesterday all marked the incident. manchester united's match against everton held a minute's silence to reflect on the tragedy, along with marking rememberence sunday, as did burnley and chelsea, who also held a silence. former leicester midfielder ngolo kante is part of the chelsea squad and paid his own respects at turf moor. after those tributes, the matches did get underway and the pressure on manchester united bossjose mourinho has eased a little after his side moved to within five points of the premier league's top four with a win over everton. guests of honour at old trafford were the 12 children who were rescued from flooded caves in thailand earlier this year. the youngsters were all members of a junior football team that attracted world—wide attention when they were trapped for over two weeks. they saw united hold on despite some late pressure to win 2—1, this goalfrom anthony martial was the winner. arsenal's11—match winning streak finally came
6:40 am
to an end. granit xhaka got the pick of their goals against crystal palace. they were 2—1 up, but luka milivojevic‘sored his second penalty of the game to rescue a point for roy hodgson‘s side. elsewhere, england's ruben loftus—cheek continued his brilliant week. after scoring a hat trick in the europa league on thursday, his goal rounded off a 4—0 win for chelsea over burnley. a victory that sees them move up to second. aberdeen will play celtic in the scottish league cup final after a dramatic late win over rangers. lewis ferguson's header was enough to see the dons through. celtic beat hearts 3—0. and the boston red sox have won baseball's world series. —— world series. these are the scenes of celebration in boston after the team took their fourth title in 15 years. they beat los angeles dodgers in la to take the series 4—1. we haven't quite seen those sorts of
6:41 am
scenes from lewis hamilton yet, he's been quite calm. he's gone to see his dogs. do you have a dog update? dogs do wild celebrations, don't they? they do. i have a dog update, i met his dog on the red carpet at sports personality of the year, it is called rosco, very cute, very well—behaved dog. is called rosco, very cute, very well-behaved dog. i love dogs, they celebrate anything, just to arriving home! a fifth world title will be lost on rosco a little bit! gosh... it's feeling very autumnal outside this morning, let's get the forecast with matt, who's at the westonbirt arboretum for us. it feels cold and wintry. it looks lovely, if cold. good morning. it does. a bit of frost on the treetop walkway at westonbirt arboretum. good morning. the lovely beautiful autumn colours behind me,
6:42 am
some of the 13,000 specimens at the arboretum, but, yes, pretty cold as well. widespread frost, and much of the uk. if you look at the forecast, the uk. if you look at the forecast, the week starts on a cold note, still a hint of winter in the air. that changes later in the week, as we turn things to the wetter and windier conditions and one or two could get stormy weather by friday into saturday. that say we await. for the time being, let's embrace the fresh new working week. it's a chilly start with temperatures as low as —5 in some areas. not many other 0dinga frost this morning because we got high pressure in charge. in scandinavia it's keeping the weather front off the coast of northern ireland and we still have an easterly wind, eastern scotland and eastern england feeding in showers to start your day. a few containing some snow mixed in, especially in north—east england and
6:43 am
eastern scotland. rain showers elsewhere and a few showers to the channel islands through the day and while we have the rain band to the west of northern ireland clearing, a few showers to the east of northern ireland and across the hebrides in the afternoon but the vast majority of the country will have a fine day. mist and fog patches clearing, lots of sunshine around and temperatures staying in single figures for most. into tonight, a few changes. eastern areas, more cloud and the greater chance of rain, strengthening breeze. the clear skies in the west, this is where we have the coldest air into tuesday morning with the greatest chance of a a frosty start but many eastern areas start frost free. a lot more cloud and breeze around and outbreaks of rain, along the east and coastal strip, in east anglia, eastern england, the farce that these could be heavy and persistent with winds gale force and feeling cold because of it. in the west, some showers, many will be dry, the greatest chance of showers will be in northern ireland, north wales, not west midlands and north england. 0n wales, not west midlands and north england. on wednesday the change is
6:44 am
in the wind direction, coming from the atlantic. brighter in eastern parts of scotland and eastern england compared with tuesday, lighter winds and feeling warm, highs of 13 but in the west, lots of showers around and some could be quite lengthy. heavy at times in western england and wales. to the end of the week, we will have things turning much windierfor end of the week, we will have things turning much windier for all. end of the week, we will have things turning much windierfor all. that is how it is looking. a lovely start and the sun is almost up. there's one advantage at least to that clock change. that is a very good point. do i spot patriotically is? i love those gloves of this. they are my warmest gloves —— do i spot patriarch gloves. people are confused about the time and the fact we are here. it is monday, not sunday, it is 6:45am. let's be really clear. scrambling your rain, the time, the fact dan isn't here. we're very happy you're here. thank
6:45 am
you. nice to be here —— your brain. spare a thought for the chancellor who has to deliver the last budget before brexit today and has to find some extra cash to pay for the prime minister's promises. steph is here. you have been out and about. yes, we have heard some of the things that might come out in the budget today. more money for the nhs, more money for the high street as well with business relief. a lot of money for green spaces, played —— planting trees, investment in infrastructure. all of these different announcements that will come out today. the big question is how will this all going to be paid for? i wanted to break it down into the three simplest areas of how we do paper things. i made very basic cards, apologies, could it come from taxes from us? us paying more for perhaps a little bit
6:46 am
more 110w paying more for perhaps a little bit more now income tax. vat, or there could be some more personal tax. we've heard about tech companies in particular, might be being asked to pay more money in tax. there have been a lot of criticism about that. 0nline companies as well. there is a plan to reduce corporation tax which lots of big businesses pay and whether that might be held or increased. then that's a question on whether the government should actually... very old school, these cards. well, that's something we have to think about as the bbc as well, how much money we waste on these things. they are very basic cards. where is the money coming from, a magic money tree? its global
6:47 am
investors around the world who buy something called a bond. it is basically them giving the government money with a commitment. perhaps the government will do more with that. i wa nted government will do more with that. i wanted to put these three options to people out there. i went out and about in sheffield. we picked it because... well, you will see afterwards. here is me running around sheffield tried to work out what people think. you will see my transportation in it. which one of these will do people go for? let's find out. hello. which of these three options to you think we should go for as a nation. the government. wide you think they
6:48 am
should bother more —— borrow more?” think they should actually go back and access is a more money as needed. we are or are we in trillions of dollars of debt. that you think we should borrow more?” think it should be the combination of the three. hello, can i borrie you for a minute? who do you think should pay more? —— borrow. government. government. businesses. why government? we pay far too much tax already. that might be all right
6:49 am
in the short term but it could mean that people who lend us the money might think having on, there are bit fla ky might think having on, there are bit flaky on paying and therefore it might cost us more to borrow money in the future or they might not lend to us at all. i used all happy it with that? —— are you still happy? tough question. offshore set-ups. that's why i said businesses. we might have to see job losses because companies can't afford to keep everyone. it's a lot more complicated, the question. everyone. it's a lot more complicated, the questionlj everyone. it's a lot more complicated, the question. i think it depends on the services and what the business is in —— what the business is doing and again, what people do. have a quick question for
6:50 am
you. if the government pays more, it will hit all of us anyway. you have hit the money on the head. it would mean vat and income tax all going up by 1%. that's 355 quid a year for every adult. what we do? don't know! hello. i was wondering what your thoughts are on how we get more money for the nhs. businesses could contribute a bit more so people that don't pay as much tax, if they did, it would make a massive difference. but what if that means that the price of things you paid for in the shops goes up because of it? do you still agree? yet, i do. -- yeah. the reality is, it will probably be an
6:51 am
mix of all of these things but it is a tough one because all of these choices come at a cost for somebody. that's a simple way of explaining it is the point is every decision, it is the point is every decision, it is easy to say, well, the government should pay a bit more or we should pay a bit more but all of these have an impact on somebody somewhere. we heard that perhaps the chancellor has more money than he thought because of this extra £13 billion from taxes. also if the economy does better than we thought, there will better than we thought, there will be more money. there are a lot of unknowns. and obviously the biggest one is brexit. that dog which features... ran away from you! we a lwa ys features... ran away from you! we always look for something to entertain in these stories. —— that door. that was our very cheap version of the tardis. have look at
6:52 am
our twitter to see what happened to the door. let's just say, our twitter to see what happened to the door. let'sjust say, it's not our twitter to see what happened to the door. let's just say, it's not a door any more. oh, no. oh, steph. tottenham hotspur will battle it out with manchester city in the premier league tonight, but a hundred years ago the team's players faced a very different kind of fight. 16 lost their lives in world war one and now, ahead of remembrance day, star striker and england captain harry kane has kicked off a campaign to commemorate them. we sent mike bushell to the team training grounds to meet him and find out more. from golden boots to green fingers, harry kane and code digging deep to make sure that football fans never forget. the england captain has helped kick off this remembrance campaign, these trees will be planted from 63 clubs from carlisle to exeter. abba you probably heard
6:53 am
the expression, he walked over a... —— you probably heard. it is all about the men who died and 11! the world war i. 16 spurs players were lost in battle. he was the first black officer tojoin the lost in battle. he was the first black officer to join the british army and his service is also being commemorated by statues called thomas built by ex— service men and women and built by the charity remembers, part of their there but not there campaign. to make the ultimate sacrifice for us. great days let this to remember them. ranging from tottenham hotspur to the local football club in any town was quite phenomenal. tottenham hotspur as a club lost 16 individuals during the course of the first world war which is an amazing sacrifice for one club. it is
6:54 am
fitting the captain of today's england's team has reached new heights this year and even now, it still hasn't fully sunk in. it has been an amazing journey. we came back and went straight into the premier league seasons i don't think a lot of us understand how mad it is. we had so much misery in the past, we all just is. we had so much misery in the past, we alljust wanted to go and enjoy it. where we were, it was quite quiet and we didn't go out of the hotel much, to be fair. it was so the hotel much, to be fair. it was so mad, fans from countries all around the world, it was so busy. whoa two and his teammates get ready to face manchester city tonight, —— while harry kane and his teammates. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: the uk speedcubing championships took place over the weekend — the average time to complete the puzzle? just six seconds. we'll have one of the finalists here to show us how it's done just before nine.
6:55 am
which means we have about two hours to do which means we have about two hours todoa which means we have about two hours to do a bit of practice. you are quite good at this. once upon a time when i had the time, i learned from a book, you know, in the olden days, you had a book. i learned how to do it one christmas. i can do the top layer now but i can't remember the tricks were all the other bits. but don't you have to undertake the top layer to get it the other side is done? we have someone that can do it in seconds coming in. you might be able to do it in the time we get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news
6:56 am
and welcome to viewers across the south—east, i'm sara 0rchard. every night it's believed hundreds of people are sleeping on london's night buses. they are referred to as the capital's "hidden homeless." it's now become such an issue, city hall is spending almost a quarter of a million pounds sending charity workers onto the most slept—on buses to offer help. a new great thames park in the thames estuary is expected to be unveiled in this afternoon's budget. it's expected that a study will be approved into the new park that aims to celebrate and maximise the value of the area's natural assets. it's hoped it could improve access to and use of the river thames for both pedestrians and cyclists. experts think they may have found a self portrait drawn by sir walter raleigh in the tower of london, where he was imprisoned. the infamous writer and adventurer was held in the bloody tower before his execution 400 years ago today. the mural was discovered during renovation work in preparation for a new exhibition. we know pretty much around the time it would have been put on this wall
6:57 am
just by the age of the plaster and we know that coincides with when sir walter raleigh was a prisoner here. and what we want to do is more research on it and uncover more of the painting to see if it is actually him. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes, the london 0verground has severe delays continuing between stratford and richmond / claphamjunction due to faulty trains. meanwhile on the piccadilly line we've got severe delays between rayners lane and uxbridge. 0n the roads, mile end road is starting to return to normal after an earlier collision closed the road in both directions between mile end and stepney green tube stations. in central london, aldwych is partly blocked near bush house because of a collision. in the city the a1—2—11 minories is closed northbound between tower hill and aldgate high street for emergency repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with lucy martin.
6:58 am
hello, good morning. it certainly was a chilly weekend and it does look set to stay fairly cool as we move through the day today. it does come with a fair amount of sunshine though and for most it is looking like dry day. there is just the chance of seeing one or showers clipping the far east. temperatures this morning starting close to freezing, could see a touch of frost first thing but as we go through the day, plenty of good spells of sunshine. temperatures at a maximum of 10 celsius with a north—easterly breeze. as we go through this evening and overnight then, still the chance of one or two showers in the east. i think we will see the cloud tend to increase as we move into the early hours. for most, a dry night. temperatures not quite as cool as they were last night, overnight lows of around 3—6 degrees celsius. tomorrow then, a cloudier day, for most, a dry day. it will still feel chilly with temperatures at a maximum of 10 celsius. the cloud could just be thick enough with the odd spot of rain or drizzle. and then a fine, dry day
6:59 am
on wednesday, feeling a touch warmer with the chance of some rain later. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to louise and chris. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with chris mason and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: leicester city say the club's heart is broken as it confirms its chairman and four other people died in a helicopter crash outside its ground. the last budget before brexit, but will the chancellor ditch austerity and start spending? if the chancellor does want to do this he needs to find some serious cash, so i've been finding out what you think the government should do to pay for it. a passenger plane carrying 188 people has crashed into the sea off the coast of indonesia. a sea rch—and—rescue operation is underway.
7:00 am
it's a fantastic five for lewis hamilton, as the british driver seals yet another world formula 1 title, putting him level with the legend juan manuel fangio on five world championships. as the sun rises on the new working week, get ready to grab the gloves and the scarves. a chilly start, widespread frost but sunny for many. join me from westonbirt arboretum for the full forecast details on brea kfast. it's monday the 29th of october. welcome to a new week, just gone 7am. our top story: leicester city have confirmed that its owner was among five people who died when a helicopter crashed outside its stadium. vichai srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff, the pilot and a passenger were killed just minutes after it had taken off. a book of condolence will be opened at the king power stadium this morning. reporter lauren moss has this report. a football club with a broken heart.
7:01 am
leicester city fans are coming to terms with the loss of the chairman who transformed them into premier league champions. this is the devastating crash site where the helicopter came down outside the king power stadium moments after taking off on saturday night. four others on board have been named. pilot eric swaffer from guildford, and his girlfriend izabela lechowicz, she too was a qualified pilot. two members of mr srivaddhanaprabha's staff also died, kaveporn punpare and nursara suknamai. supporters have been laying scarves and flowers to honour and remember the owner and remember the owner whom the club has called a great man. he brought city up from nothing really. and when we were in the premiership, i really, really think we won it because of him. the family have done so much for us and for the city, and for it to be taken away, it's awful. what he's brought to the club, the community, it's
7:02 am
been absolutely amazing. mr srivaddhanaprabha became part of football folklore when leicester won the premier league in 2016. members of that team have paid tribute. jamie vardy‘s called him a legend. christian fuchs has simply said "thank you". and harry maguire, whojoined later, says he'll never forget the chairman's support. as the investigation into what caused the crash continues, a city's in mourning, remembering, as one sign says, "the belief, the joy and the memories." lauren moss, bbc news. well, graham satchell is outside the king power stadium. graham, we can really see so many people arriving there to pay tribute, pay their respects as well. good morning. morning, louise. they have been and they were here all day yesterday leaving tributes and you can see a portrait of mr
7:03 am
srivaddhanaprabha outside the stadium and this way there's a sea of and shirts and scarves from leicester city fans. a club statement at 10pm yesterday said collectively their hearts were broken, they had lost a great man with kindness and generosity. tributes this morning on social media from peter shilton, for example, the leicester goalkeeping legend and england legend who says rip to the greatest ever owner of leicester, a privilege to have met him and condolences to the families who've lost their loved ones. there's a reason leicester city fans loved their own so much, it was because he did the little things incredibly well, like free t—shirts and doughnuts on match days —— their own. he also did the big things, giving millions of pounds to the university and hospital but it was this romantic extraordinary fairytale of the premier league in 2016 that woke up the world to what
7:04 am
was happening at leicester city. it was happening at leicester city. it was like every football fan in the world thought if leicester can do it, maybe i can do it. amongst the t—shirts and shirts that are here, not just leicester shirts t—shirts and shirts that are here, notjust leicester shirts but also shirts from local rivals like derby cou nty shirts from local rivals like derby county and nottingham forest, that tells you why this man was held in such high esteem. we will leave you with one shirt that says here you made a dream reality that we will never forget, made a dream reality that we will neverforget, and made a dream reality that we will never forget, and we will never forget you. a rather lovely thing to see those tributes but very sobering as well. graham, thank you. chancellor phillip hammond will deliver his last budget before brexit today. it's understood there'll be extra money for mental health services in england as part of a £20 billion boost for the nhs announced in june. but the chancellor's under pressure to find extra funding for other public services. political correspondent alex forsyth is in downing street. alex, a particularly tricky one for
7:05 am
the chancellor, not least because of brexit, which may potentially mean he has to rip up everything he says this afternoon. two tricky points for the chancellor really, the first, as you say, is the uncertainty brexit causes. yesterday he said the budget today is based on the fact that the uk is going to get a deal but if it doesn't, it could be back to the drawing board. the other thing making this a little bit politically tricky for him is the prime minister at the party conference not so prime minister at the party conference not so long ago stood up and she said austerity is at an end and she said austerity is at an end and people need to understand that. pressure on the chancellor now to release the purse strings and spend a bit more. we have had, as we often do, some trials about what we might expect, so the extra money for mental health, part of a big package for the nhs and investment in roads and helping the high street. business rate relief as well. the
7:06 am
chancellor has a bit more cash to play with because tax receipts are better than expected, and so are the borrowing figures, but how far he goesin borrowing figures, but how far he goes in terms of spending that when we know he's concerned about brexit uncertainty, that's the key question and you can bet your bottom dollar this will be a balanced budget instead of a big bonanza. thank you, alex. lots of talk about bottom dollars and pounds in the next 21! hours also as people look at the details. full coverage of the budget begins on bbc two and the bbc news channel at 3pm today. are you part of that coverage?” are you part of that coverage? i am, iam are you part of that coverage? i am, i am dashing back to westminster and getting stuck in, getting my way through lots of numbers not a lot of sleep. what could go wrong? it's fine, the no sleep thing, it is fine! i'm hearing from an expert! the far—right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won brazil's presidential election, with 55% of the vote. he had campaigned on a promise to eradicate corruption and to drive down brazil's high crime rate. but he had been accused of racism and sexism. during the campaign he was stabbed
7:07 am
and seriously injured at a rally. in a victory speech he promised to protect freedom and democracy and change brazil's destiny. the 11 people killed in a mass shooting at a us synagogue have been identified by police. they include two brothers and an elderly married couple. a multi—faith memorial service has been held in pittsburgh. the man accused of the killings will appear in court later today. 0ur correspondent, gary 0'donoghue, reports. it's been described as one of the worst anti—semitic attacks in recent us history. a plane with 188 people on board has crashed into the sea off indonesia. the lion air boeing aircraft went down a few minutes after taking off from the capital jakarta for the regional city of pangkal pinang. a rescue operation has been launched and debris has been found at the scene. let's get the latest from karishma vaswani, who's in singapore. good morning to you. are there more details emerging? well, in the last
7:08 am
hour and details emerging? well, in the last hourand a details emerging? well, in the last hour and a half or so, rescue officials in jakarta hour and a half or so, rescue officials injakarta have told us they've dispatched vessels as well as helicopters and divers to the area, the waters off the coast of karawang, the area where they believed the plane crashed earlier today. at this point, all they've been able to tell us is that they've found some debris from the aircraft, as well as what they believe to be possessions of people who'd been on board. things like id cards as well as mobile phones, safetyjackets, lifejackets, alongside the debris from the aircraft. now, the search—and—rescue from the aircraft. now, the sea rch—and—rescue operation is likely to be quite logistic and challenging because it's a wide body of water that officials need to search. at the same time trying to get there is also quite difficult because even though this area is off the coastline of a pretty major city and district, it will take them some
7:09 am
time to get to the beach, officials say, to be able to set off on this journey to find any further signs of any survivors. karishma, thank you so any survivors. karishma, thank you so much. thank you. sara cox will be the new presenter of radio two's drivetime show. the appointment comes after simon mayo, who had led the programme for eight years, announced he was leaving just a few months after he began co—presenting withjo whiley. sara cox says she was beyond chuffed at the news. ididn't i didn't realise you could be beyond traffic! it's a nice phrase. it's a great phrase! —— chuffed. the duke and duchess of sussex have met with volunteers at a new zealand cafe that helps to highlight mental health issues. they then met with school children who were waiting outside. one little boy, joe, seemingly shy at his royal encounter, was given a hug from his teacher as he met meghan and was tickled by harry as the prince tried to cheer him up. i don't think the tickle worked. not even a regal tickle was up to the
7:10 am
job. nothing was going to make him happy. he's just shy. job. nothing was going to make him happy. he'sjust shy. what can you do with toddlers, beyond control! so it's budget day and all eyes are on the chancellor. there's plenty of speculation about what might be announced and as expected the nhs is high on the agenda, but while we wait for phillip hammond to deliver his speech. let's speak to secretary of state for health and social care, matt hancock, who joins us now from westminster. good morning to you. good morning. tell us in specific terms, this talk of money for mental health services, what difference will it make and when? we're proposing to put more than £2 billion into mental health services. for too long, mental health services have not had the equivalent sort of resources that physical health services have, and over a generation we re services have, and over a generation were trying to shift that. 0ver services have, and over a generation were trying to shift that. over the next five years will put an extra £2 billion into better mental health
7:11 am
services. this is across—the—board. for instance, more mental health support in schools. this is important because the pressures especially on teenage girls, the evidence is the pressures are rising. then, of course, into the harder end of more serious mental illness, where we need to make sure we support some of the most vulnerable people in society. we'll set out more details today, then we're writing a long—term plan for how we spend the extra £20 billion we're putting into the nhs overall, and this is an important part of that. where's that money going to come from? the chancellor's going to set out how all this is going to be paid for later today, that's the point of the budget. what i'll say is what we will see this afternoon is what we will see this afternoon is the effort over many years to bring britain's public finances into good order starting to really bear fruit. people have made sacrifices
7:12 am
over the last decade or so since the financial crash. that has been necessary. but i think what we'll see today is coming out of that, the biggest and longest ever settlement for the nhs, the extra £20 billion i mentioned, and support in other areas too, in transport to get the roads going, and in mental health services. all as a result of the sometimes difficult economic decisions we've had to make bearing fruit, record levels of employment, the economy going strongly, therefore allowing us to fund good public services. you're a conservative, matt hancock, so presumably you're in favour of taxes as low as they can be. national debt is very high, so how does the government go about paying for all of these promises? the prime minister has said austerity is over, i know you're not the chancellor but you sit around the cabinet table.
7:13 am
where should the money come from, more borrowing or more taxes? the thing that's happened recently is the economy has been growing strongly, and we got record low unemployment. unemployment is lower today than at any point in my entire lifetime, and that means that there's more receipts coming in because of the strength of the economy, and it shows that if you keep the finances under control, you ta ke keep the finances under control, you take this balanced approach that we're taking, you get a stronger economy, you get more people in jobs, which is a good thing in and of itself, and you get more receipts that come from that. so i think this isa that come from that. so i think this is a good approach to take because it means having taken difficult decisions over the finances, having turned the economy around, we're now seeing the fruits of that being born and it means you can do things like put more money into the nhs, which is clearly the public‘s top spending priority. i know you can't see these little props, matt hancock, but
7:14 am
steph has been out to sheffield to ask people about where the money should come from for some of the promises we are expecting. people paying more, businesses paying more, the government's borrowing more, what's your hunch as to where it should come from? if you're making promises about spending, and you're on tv announcing more funding for mental health services, it has to come from somewhere. i go back to my earlier question, it has to come from somewhere, and borrowing is high, or taxes go up and conservatives aren't meant to put up taxes?” taxes go up and conservatives aren't meant to put up taxes? i want to see debt coming down. it will go up if you borrow. we will see that today, i very much hope so. you mentioned a couple of ways to generate more revenue. of course, a strongly growing economy also generates more revenues. more people in work means more people paying income tax without having to put the rate up, and that's what we've been seeing over the last couple of years, a growing economy, growing more
7:15 am
strongly. 0f growing economy, growing more strongly. of course there's still a lwa ys strongly. of course there's still always more to do, but the fact that record low unemployment, and so many people in work now who just weren't a decade ago, this means that there's more revenue coming in. now, there's more revenue coming in. now, the overall balance of it, of course the overall balance of it, of course the chancellor's going to have to set out later. i know about the £20 billion coming into the nhs, partly because it's my responsibility to spend that as wisely as i can, and the £2 billion on mental health services i believe is a wise decision, but the crucial thing is we've got to keep the underpinnings of the economy strong, dynamic have this balanced approach, not losing control of the finances but also making sure that as the economy grows, so we can put more money into the public finances that people rely on. so i think that's a good attitude. thank you for talking to us. attitude. thank you for talking to us. matt hancock, the health secretary joining us us. matt hancock, the health secretaryjoining us live from westminster. full coverage on that
7:16 am
through the day with chris as well. it's feeling very autumnal outside this morning, let's get the forecast with matt, who's at the westonbirt arboretum for us. morning, matt. fresh is one word. a glorious view of the changing autumn colours. the frost on the ground as well. you could almost say we have a clash of the seasons at the moment and that was case at the weekend. weather watcher ‘s were out in force capturing the clash on the weekend. this comes from highland. the lovely autumn colours in the foreground. behind that, of course, the winter of the smelly hills. for some, it was certainly a lot more like winter. —— snow we hills. —— snowy.
7:17 am
we have lovely view of snow covering somebody‘s decking. the feel of winter with us this morning in terms of frost that things will be changing as we go through this week. let's look at the forecast for this weekend. a very cold start across the country. temperatures below —5 in some areas at the moment. very few of lloyd in the frost for the morning commute but things will change later this week —— very few avoiding the frost. high pressure in charge, coming from scandinavia. it is bringing in the winds from the east and that means eastern parts of england, east in —— eastern scotland ata england, east in —— eastern scotland at a few showers running down through towards the channel islands and later on, we will see some tibet
7:18 am
—— we will see some in the east. a lovely sunny day ahead after the frost clears. temperatures for most staying in single figures. the wind across eastern parts of england will get that little bit stronger through tonight as things turned cloudier and wetter along some north sea coasts. away from that, a few showers in the west. most will stay dry and clear. and again, another frosty night to take us into tomorrow morning. a few showers in northern ireland and into the north of wales, north—west midlands but most in the west will be dry and reasonably sunny. a lot more clout in the eastern parts of scotland and eastern england —— cloud. that will also bring in outbreaks of rain at times, some of which could be persistent. wind is not far off gale
7:19 am
force through east anglia and the south—east. temperatures again struggling a bit. the winners will be coming off the atlantic by wednesday so we will see temperatures rise a little bit. the weather coming in from the west so a great chance of getting wet at times. some lengthy, heavy showers. eastern areas on wednesday but have a brighter day and temperatures by event of two around 13 degrees. the temperatures will rise a little bit further for the rest of you as we go into the rest of the week. back to you, chris and louise. enjoy the lovely sunshine, when it gets to you. fresh. absolutely freezing beyond belief. he steered leicester city to its greatest triumph, but club owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha has now become part of it's darkest day. the thai billionaire died along with four others when the helicopter taking them from saturday's match at the king power stadium spiralled out of control and crashed shortly
7:20 am
after take off. let's speak to matt davis, of the leicester supporters trust, who's outside the ground. it's really touching, isn't it? so many people coming to pay their respect. yesterday i was here with a few floral tributes. today, as you can see behind me, the outpouring of love from the public and the wider community and nationally as well, it's incredible. it's also very clear that he not onlyjust cared about the football club, he cared about the football club, he cared about the football club, he cared about the city, didn't he? he did, yes. he was discreet about it but he made a lot of charitable donations and hospital donations, things like that. a very, very warmhearted and kind person that embraced the whole community. he wasn't just kind person that embraced the whole community. he wasn'tjust about changing the shirts or changing the
7:21 am
name, he was about coming in and being one of us. and what you think his legacy will be? for a start, you can see behind us, the wonderful stadium he has bought, you know about £103 million of debt he wiped off. that is financially but his legacy will be in the hearts of the leicestershi re legacy will be in the hearts of the leicestershire public and wider than that, yesterday we saw forest and derby fans coming down and laying flowers here. it wasjust unheard—of, the respect for him, the outpouring, the way he was chairman that every club would long for, really. you are at the game, when she? a lot of people were sort of accustomed to seeing that helicopter? yet, we saw it coming and going all the time. we got so used to it. it was part and parcel of the football match. i used to joke that i was at my car on time
7:22 am
because i knew it was time to go when they were flying past. everything was expected, everything was normal until takeoff. talk a bit about the pilot as it seems that what he did, what he managed to do, was in many ways her role it. yes, it looks as though he has guided it to an area where there was no fans at all which is pretty incredible even though it was an hour after the end of the game, you still get hands around in the corporate area. that was a pretty incredible heroic thing from him. it's tragic, it's absolutely tragic that it could have been far worse had he not redirected it. a book of condolences opens this morning, i think at eight. i know it is really early and are still there is really early and are still there isa is really early and are still there is a real shock but are there other
7:23 am
plans at this point? i think there will be but we haven't announced any business to be honest, we are still in shock. we knew but we didn't know officially. with the game cancelled on tuesday, there is a period of real morning for the community where we can take stock and decide what action were going to take. i'm sure you have seen stuff like his statue and things like that. ——i am sure you will see. we will reunite with those plans. at one time or another, most of us will have been frustrated by one of these — a speed cube puzzle — but not only are there people that manage to solve the brainteaser, there are some that compete to complete it in record time. the speed cube championships were held this weekend, and the average time to work it out was just six seconds. let's take a look at
7:24 am
the competitors in action. even with 1—handed! even with 1-handed! blindfold thing, i don't get. i mean, i have three oranges in one line. i used to be able to do it but it took me minutes, not seconds. i've been going for an hour minutes, not seconds. i've been going foran hourand minutes, not seconds. i've been going for an hour and a half!” minutes, not seconds. i've been going for an hour and a half! i got a little bit further than you, i'd better have done at —— done it the wrong way as well. and later this morning we'll be joined by one of the speed cube finalists. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara 0rchard. every night it's believed hundreds of people are sleeping on london's night buses. they are referred to
7:25 am
as the capital's "hidden homeless." it's now become such an issue, city hall is spending almost a quarter of a million pounds sending charity workers onto the most slept—on buses to offer help. a new great thames park in the thames estuary is expected to be unveiled in this afternoon's budget. it's expected that a study will be approved into the new park that aims to celebrate and maximise the value of the area's natural assets. it's hoped it could improve access to and use of the river thames for both pedestrians and cyclists. experts think they may have found a self portrait drawn by sir walter raleigh in the tower of london, where he was imprisoned. the infamous writer and adventurer was held in the bloody tower before his execution 400 years ago today. the mural was discovered during renovation work in preparation for a new exhibition. we know pretty much around the time it would have been put on this wall just by the age of the plaster and we know that coincides with when sir walter raleigh was a prisoner here. and what we want to do is more research on it and uncover more of the painting to see if it is actually him.
7:26 am
let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes, the london 0verground has severe delays continuing between stratford and richmond—clapham junction due to faulty trains. meanwhile on the district line there are servere delays between turnham green and richmond. 0n the roads, in central london, aldwych is partly blocked near bush house because of a collision. queues are back over waterloo bridge. in the city the a1—2—11 minories is closed northbound between tower hill and aldgate high street for emergency repairs to a burst water main. it's adding to the usual delays coming in to town on the highway. 0n the m25 it's slow anticlockwise betweenjunction 26 walthham abbey and j24 potters bar because of an eqarlier broken down car. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning. it certainly was a chilly weekend and it does look set to stay fairly cool as we move through the day today. it does come with a fair amount of sunshine though and for most it is looking like dry day.
7:27 am
there is just the chance of seeing one or showers clipping the far east. temperatures this morning starting close to freezing, could see a touch of frost first thing but as we go through the day, plenty of good spells of sunshine. temperatures at a maximum of 10 celsius with a north—easterly breeze. as we go through this evening and overnight then, still the chance of one or two showers in the east. i think we will see the cloud tend to increase as we move into the early hours. for most, a dry night. temperatures not quite as cool as they were last night, overnight lows of around 3—6 degrees celsius. tomorrow then, a cloudier day, for most, a dry day. it will still feel chilly with temperatures at a maximum of 10 celsius. the cloud could just be thick enough with the odd spot of rain or drizzle. and then a fine, dry day on wednesday, feeling a touch warmer with the chance of some rain later. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back
7:28 am

7:29 am
this is across—the—board. for instance, more mental health support in schools. this is important because the pressures especially on teenage girls... the evidence is the pressures a re girls... the evidence is the pressures are rising. then, of course, into the harder end of more serious mental illness, where we need to make sure we support some of the most vulnerable people in society. a plane with 188 people on board has crashed into the sea off indonesia. the lion air boeing aircraft went down a few minutes after taking off from the capital jakarta for the regional city of pangkal pinang. a rescue operation has been launched and debris has been found at the scene. the far right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won brazil's presidential election, with 55% of the vote. he had campaigned on a promise to eradicate corruption and to drive down brazil's high crime rate.

7:32 am
lewis hamilton, five—time world champion and this, an all—too—familiar feeling. champion and this, an all—too—familiarfeeling. his champion and this, an all—too—familiar feeling. his intent to get there was clear from the start. commentator: hamilton makes an incredible start. a seventh place finish or above all he needed, he was up from third to second at the first corner. for title rival sebastien vettel, nothing more than a win would do and passing hamilton, he kept his own slim hopes alive. a nice place that finish last year was enough to win a fourth title and this year would be far from straightforward. tyre problems saw him. the hard work had been done. a significant points advantage this year and breathing space in. max verstappen may have crossed the line first but all eyes were on hamilton coming home in fourth. commentator: a five-time champion of the world. that intends lewis hamilton focus on being quicker whatever the vehicle has always been

7:34 am
matches yesterday all marked the incident. manchester united's match against everton held a minute's silence to reflect on the tragedy, along with marking rememberence sunday, as did burnley and chelsea, who also held a silence. former leicester midfielder ngolo kante is part of the chelsea squad and paid his own respects at turf moor. after those tributes, the matches did get underway and the pressure on manchester united bossjose mourinho has eased a little after his side moved to within five points of the premier league's top four with a win over everton. guests of honour at old trafford were the 12 members of a junior football team who were rescued from flooded caves in thailand earlier this year. they saw united hold on despite some late pressure to win 2—1, this goalfrom anthony martial was the winner.

7:36 am
those in charge had allowed the team to get arrogant and develop a win at all costs mentality. that's according to a report into the culture of the team, commisioned after the scandal of players using sandpaper on the ball. we know now... we know what's right, we know what's wrong. we know what australian cricket expects of us, and we'll be holding each other accountable so if it does happen or it does start to get out of control, it does start to get out of control, it won't just be it does start to get out of control, it won'tjust be me. a number of quys it won'tjust be me. a number of guys know where we sit on that and how far we go and where we don't go. do you think that report could have had any other finding out all? it's been quite bad in the past! very interesting. there's a certain genre of reports, running into many pages, and the central conclusion is one, where you think, i wonder if we
7:37 am
could have come up with that at the beginning in five minutes! thanks very much, see you later. for many young people, going to university is a rite of passage, a first chance to taste independence, but for thousands of students it can also have a darker side. figures obtained by the bbc show that in the five years up to 2017, students seeking mental health support rose by more than 50% to 78,000. christian frank, a university of birmingham graduate, and susan bridgeford, who works with student support services at the university of sheffield, join us now. good morning to you both. christian, tell us about your experience at university and the whole issue of healing with anxiety.” university and the whole issue of healing with anxiety. i would say that my experience was on the whole quite a positive one in terms of my studies, but the thing to remember is studies and your life outside, which is kind of the whole package when it comes to university, doesn't necessarily marry up that well.
7:38 am
i was quite lucky i ended up doing a masters course, i'm hoping to do a phd and my life is quite settled, but particularly the first year i was away from home for the first time and my kind of support was gone really, like lots of young people. i we re really, like lots of young people. i were showing signs of mental health problems before the age of 18. during sixth form i realised i'm quite an anxious person, but lots of people are, it's how you learn to deal with it. i learned to deal with it with friends and family but you get taken away from that and you're out of your depth. you're not alone, 53% of students seeking mental health support in five years. susan, is that what you're seeing at your university, are you surprised? this is what universities are seeing across the sector. national statistics for the age group show a live fold increase in five years and universities have seen their share of that. are more people reporting it or what is the reason? there is
7:39 am
greater awareness, that's leading to more people asking for support. people are receiving earlier diagnosis in schools, which is a good thing. they're coming to university knowing what support they need and knowing what conditions they have. christian, going back to your experience, the tricky thing from your perspective, and for any student, is the line between perfectly understandable feelings of homesickness and something which you might want to seek support for. in the first instance, a student has to decide there is an issue and they need to see someone. decide there is an issue and they need to see someone. not only is it ha rd to need to see someone. not only is it hard to decide when that moment comes, it's then harder to say, how doigo comes, it's then harder to say, how do i go and get that help? universities are great in terms of signposting they have in place for the support you can go and get, but that doesn't mean it's easy for you to make that first step, particularly if you're an anxious person, it's hard to say to a stranger i think i'm having problems. someone in my situation, i was getting good grades, what do you
7:40 am
point to? you say i'm stressed but that's getting me good grades so maybe it's not so bad. a difficult line to tread. i know you're trying to help, what are you doing at the university of sheffield ? to help, what are you doing at the university of sheffield? we're trying new ways to bring students into the services or draw their awareness to services available. last year we trialled something called pop—up therapy, we have a mobile booth we take around campus and talk to students between classes, going to the library, and encourage them to open up and have a conversation and notice how that makes them feel better and brings their awareness to the services we have. christian, it must make a big difference that so many more conversations like the one we're having this morning are happening, there's a far more open national conversation around mental health issues which presumably goes some way to making it easier to make that step to see someone or not?” way to making it easier to make that step to see someone or not? i think it does. in some ways, it almost normalises the stress around university. i was in a flat where a
7:41 am
few of us had quite bad stress problems at times in my first year, and because we were used to we said its just you need and because we were used to we said itsjust you need life. it's quite hard. as you say, it's all well and good saying the option is there and these problems exist, but how do you know when it turns into something bad? if anyone is feeling stress and anxiety, what is your advice? the easiest thing to do is start talking to friends. they are the people that know you and it's good to get someone else to be a barometer of how you're doing. and there are places like your gp and university services as well. thank you both very much indeed. good to see you. thank you. we've been reflecting this morning on the fact that it's feeling very autumnal. it is colder than autumnal! unbelievably cold after it being quite pleasant not that long ago, a week or so ago. the views look great, unless you have to stand outside in them for a long time, as
7:42 am
matt is doing this morning at the westonbi rt matt is doing this morning at the westonbirt arboretum. look at those autumn colours. good morning, matt. i like to call it fresh. lovely, fresh start to the new working week, a lovely way to ta ke new working week, a lovely way to take in the fresh air. you can see the lovely skywalk, the tree walk thatis the lovely skywalk, the tree walk that is the longest in the uk. 300 metres long. it gives you a feel of what it's like to be in the canopy of some of the 15,000 specimens of tree at westonbirt, 250 varieties and with the sunshine up, the colours look amazing. it's notjust the deciduous, you got the coniferous, you have the atlas cedar right next to me. a beautiful scene, well worth a visit over the next few days, especially with the sunshine and the frosty ground like this morning. a very chilly start to the day. let's look at the forecast. a chilly start to the week, but things will change this week as things turned
7:43 am
milder, wetter and windier towards the end of the week and the weekend. a frosty start this morning, temperatures below —5 in some areas due to high pressure centred over scandinavia, keeping the weather front to the west of ireland. but bringing in an easterly wind and some showers in eastern england and scotla nd some showers in eastern england and scotland today, not as many as yesterday, but where we have them, the chance of some smoke mixed in, especially in eastern scotland and north—east england. showers further south, towards the channel islands and antrim and hebrides scotland further north. for the vast majority, mist and fog patches at the moment and frost disappears, lovely, sunny, christ the day with temperatures in single figures for most, maybe up to ten in parts of london. we'll see a bit of a breeze blowing to the south—east corner today —— crisp day. a bit more cloud and rain in the south—east. clear
7:44 am
skies in the west tonight. the greatest chance of a frost into tomorrow morning, with temperatures below freezing. above freezing further east, but tempered somewhat by the breeze, the fact we've got cloud and outbreaks of rain. are mainly across the coastal strip of eastern england, going further inland at times —— mainly across. we don't know how far west, though. some showers across the likes of northern ireland and parts of north wales, north—west midlands and north england. most areas will be dry, good sunny spells and hence not far from today. on wednesday, a noticeable change, the wind coming from the west —— and temperatures not far from today. temperatures on the rise, outbreaks from the west, the rise, outbreaks from the west, the odd heavy burst, some sunshine in between and eastern areas compared with tomorrow will have a better day, lots more sunshine and temperatures up to 13 in the south—east corner. for this morning, if you're about to head out, gloves, scarf, you know the drill, it feels
7:45 am
like winter has arrived with temps well below freezing in most parts of the country. back to louise and chris. cani can i ask a cheeky personal question quiz below how many layers have you got on this morning? a t-shirt, a vest? —— can i ask a cheeky personal question? how many layers have you got on this morning?” question? how many layers have you got on this morning? i only have three layers. a few layers to short! sorry about that, matt. —— too sought. a layer short, another one for our weather euphemisms —— too short. even a meteorologist is a layer short! if you think you've got a manic monday ahead of you — spare a thought for the chancellor who has to deliver the last budget before brexit today and has to find some extra cash to pay for the prime minister's promises. steph is here. you are here with some exciting no
7:46 am
expense spared visual graphics. ahead of the budget we always get bits of information about what might be in it. we heard the government talking about ending austerity, wanting to spend more money on things like the nhs. also some bits on the weekend have been more money for green space and planting trees. infrastructure for the roads and there will be money put aside for things like potholes. all of this comes at a cost. they want to try and encourage economy to grow more so more money and encourage economy to grow more so more money to the high street as well. business rate relief and all of it does come as a cost —— at a cost of that is what i have been looking at, how will we pay for all of this if we want to end asperity? —— posterity. —— austerity. we could be paying more tax, rising income tax, the vat, that could be one of
7:47 am
the things that could help the government earn more money but it has consequences. 0r government earn more money but it has consequences. or so businesses might be asked to pay more as well. there has been a lot of talk about technology companies and some suggesting that maybe they don't pay enough tax or the government will be looking at ways to get them to pay more and things like corporation tax as well. there is a plan to bring it down over the next couple of years that it will be interesting to see whether that actually doesn't get brought down. the other one is the government borrowing more money. this one has been slightly battered, sorry about this. it's been out and about. i like to do things on a budget. this is all about people a lwa ys budget. this is all about people always ask, where will the government borrowed this money from? it comes from global investors so they are people who will buy bonds which are basically ious. the government will have to pay it back
7:48 am
with interest. they might look at that as well. i wanted to go out and about and ask people what they actually thought the answer is to all of this. i know there is no one magic will it but what did they think the priority should be for the government? i went out and about with my magic door in sheffield. so which one of these will the people here go for? let's find out. hello. can i borrow you for a sec? course you can. excellent, so, which of these three options do you think we should go for as a nation? the government. grab that for me then. why do you think the government should borrow more? i think that they're always trying to tighten the money on the nhs and i think that they should actually go back and try and sort of access some more money as needed. we're already in 1.7 trillions pounds of debt but you think we should take on more? mmmm. how do you think we should pay for it, do you think the government should borrow more money? businesses should pay more? people pay more? well i think it should be the combination of the three. if you equal the taxations
7:49 am
throughout the three then i think it's fair. hello, can i borrow you for a minute? so who do you think should pay more? government. businesses. why government? we've paid far too much tax already. so, you've said the government borrowing more. we did. now that would mean scrapping our plan to try and get rid of the deficit in the next five years. now, that might be all right in the short term but the problem is, it could mean that people who lend us the money might think, oh, hang on, they're are bit flaky on paying, them lot, and therefore it might cost us more to borrow money in the future, or they might not lend to us at all. so you're still happy with that? 0oh. tough question. why have you picked businesses? i think there's a lot of tax advantages for offshore set—ups.
7:50 am
so i think they should be monitored a bit better. there's some businesses that said that would mean, for them, they'd put up prices, and we might have to as well see job losses because companies can't afford to keep everyone on. well, um, i'm not obviously up forjob losses and stuff but it's a lot more complicated, the question. i just think it depends on the circumstances and what the business is and what the business is doing and again, what people do. i have a quick question for you. i just think they're all interlinked so if we say the government should pay more, they're going to be paying more from probably all of us. you have hit the nail on the head. to get the 19 billion pounds, it would mean vat, national insurance and income tax all going up by 1%. that's 355 quid a year for every adult. what we do? i don't know!
7:51 am
hello. i was wondering what your thoughts are on how we get more money for the nhs. the businesses could contribute a little bit more so the ones that don't pay as much tax, if they did, it would make a massive difference. but what if that means that the price of things you pay for in the shops goes up because of it? do you still agree? yeah, ido. i do think businesses should. fairenough! the reality is it will probably be an mix of all of these things but it is a tough one because all of these choices come at a cost for somebody. steffe, you look of it lost at the end. we will explain why in a minute. —— steph. you made the point that every decision you make has a
7:52 am
positive impact on somebody but negative on somebody else. people might think why shouldn't the government borrow more money or why shouldn't businesses pay more tax? but it does have a negative impact on your life. there are so many unknown is. we found out last week that perhaps the chancellor has more money that he thought he had from tax receipts. there is perhaps an extra £13 billion there. also the economy might be doing better than we thought. if that happens, it will bring in more money as well. of course the biggest unknown in all of this is what will happen with brexit and that could change how things work as well. i suppose he then throw into the mix that there are all sorts of promises that have been laid down and manifestoes will stop when they are dealing with the dilemmas, one heck of a balancing act. it could cause other problems
7:53 am
like having more problem with debt. £1.7 trillion of debt is a lot of money. where is your library of all of your manifestoes? also, steph, did you lose the door? as you can tell from my very classy graphics this morning on board, i took out this morning on board, i took out this door prop because i wanted to doa this door prop because i wanted to do a good way of transitioning between different shots. the tardis and all of that. it was windy, the door was heavy and as a result, this happened. rolling! have you got that on camera?!”
7:54 am
have you got that on camera?! i love that. did you read the health and safety form ? that. did you read the health and safety form? the risk assessment form was built out. just out of shot was the higher man and it was heading for the band! you counted all of your toes. yes. there are all there. —— they are all there. coming up, we will have more weather. wharton is more spring. i think it feels a bit more wintry than strictly autumnal. lovely colours, mighty cold. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara 0rchard. every night it's believed hundreds of people are sleeping on london's night buses. they are referred to

7:57 am
of sunshine though and for most it is looking like dry day. there is just the chance of seeing one or showers clipping the far east. temperatures this morning starting close to freezing, could see a touch of frost first thing but as we go through the day, plenty of good spells of sunshine. temperatures at a maximum of 10 celsius with a north—easterly breeze. as we go through this evening and overnight then, still the chance of one or two showers in the east. i think we will see the cloud tend to increase as we move into the early hours. for most, a dry night. temperatures not quite as cool as they were last night, overnight lows of around 3—6 degrees celsius. tomorrow then, a cloudier day, for most, a dry day. it will still feel chilly with temperatures at a maximum of 10 celsius. the cloud could just be thick enough with the odd spot of rain or drizzle. and then a fine, dry day on wednesday, feeling a touch warmer with the chance of some rain later. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to louise and chris. bye for now. good morning — welcome

if you are not grabbed your gloves out the cupboard you might want to this morning. widespread frost across the country but a lovely sunny day for many of you. all the details from westonbirt arboretum on brea kfast details from westonbirt arboretum on breakfast coming up. it's monday the 29th of october. our top story: leicester city have confirmed that its owner was among five people who died when a helicopter crashed outside its stadium. vichai srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff, the pilot and a passenger were killed just minutes after it had taken off. a book of condolence will be opened at the king power stadium this morning. 0ur reporter lauren moss has this report. a football club with a broken heart.
8:00 am
leicester city fans are coming to terms with the loss of the chairman who transformed them into premier league champions. this is the devastating crash site where the helicopter came down outside the king power stadium moments after taking off on saturday night. four others on board have been named. pilot eric swaffer from guildford, and his girlfriend izabela roza lechowicz — she too was a qualified pilot. two members of vichai srivaddhanaprabha's staff also died, kaveporn punpare and nursara suknamai. supporters have been laying scarves and flowers to honour and remember the owner and remember the owner, whom the club has called a great man. he brought city up from nothing, really. and when we were in the premiership, i really, really think we won it because of him. the family have done so much for us and for the city, and so cruelly taken away, it's awful. what he's brought to the club, the community, it's been absolutely amazing. mr srivaddhanaprabha became part of football folklore when leicester won the premier league in 2016.
8:01 am
members of that team have paid tribute. jamie vardy‘s called him a legend. christian fuchs has simply said "thank you". and harry maguire, whojoined later, says he'll never forget the chairman's support. as the investigation into what caused the crash continues, a city's in mourning, remembering, as one sign says, "the belief, the joy and the memories." lauren moss, bbc news. graham satchell is outside the king power stadium — graham a sense of shock and sadness there? a real sense behind you of what this man meant, not just a real sense behind you of what this man meant, notjust to the club but physically? absolutely right, chris. people have been coming here this morning, all day yesterday —— not just to the club but to the city. to their chairman, their owner, who universally was adored and love. the clu b universally was adored and love. the club without a statement yesterday saying that collectively leicester city's heart was broken, that this
8:02 am
was a kind generous man. you talk to a lot of football clubs and they don't like their club chairman and blame them when anything goes wrong but nothing could be more different here at leicester city really. there have been tributes this morning, one from the leicester city and england legend goalkeeper peter shilton who said, rip to the greatest ever owner of leicester city, it was a privilege to have met him and condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. we are getting a few more details of what happened on saturday night at azumaya. some report the pilot of the helicopter deliberately tried to manoeuvre the aircraft away from crowds. it is striking that it landed in an empty car parkjust behind us here so what was a terrible tragedy could have been much, much worse. i think it is also striking, the reason people loved this chairman so much is because he did everything so well, he was a fan, you'll love the club,
8:03 am
did very simple things like buying people t—shirts, though nots and beer on match day, give millions of pounds to local hospitals and university —— t—shirts, do nots —— doughnuts and beer. people around the world saw their miraculous march to the title and thought, "well, if leicester city can do it maybe my clu b leicester city can do it maybe my club can as well," restoring faith in supporting a football club. we will leave you with one t—shirt. there are a number from all around the world, but this one says, "thanks, vichai, gone but never forgotten, " "thanks, vichai, gone but never forgotten," very much the sense of feeling in leicester this morning. graham, thank you. and we will talk to two former players about that very soon on to two former players about that very soon on bbc breakfast. the chancellor phillip hammond will deliver his last budget
8:04 am
before brexit today. it's understood there'll be extra money for mental health services in england as part of a £20 billion boost for the nhs which was announced injune. but the chancellor is under pressure to find extra funding for other public services after years of austerity. 0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. a mid—afternoon budget on monday is very unusual, and so is the backdrop to philip hammond's statement later, because with the uk set to leave the eu in five months‘ time, he doesn't know if there will be a brexit deal with the eu or not. the impact on his plans for the economy could be huge. but some commitments have already been made. the government has promised to set aside an extra £2 billion a year for round—the—clock mental health support in major a&e centres in england. there will also be more specialist ambulances and new dedicated mental health teams in schools. the money is part of the £20 billion boost to nhs funding announced in june. the treasury has also set aside a £30 billion package for england's roads, with money to repair
8:05 am
motorways and potholes. there will be more money spent on business rates relief for small businesses, and funds for rejuvenating high streets. and the chancellor is expected to announce another freeze in fuel duty. one big consideration for philip hammond is the prime minister's pledge at the tory party conference earlier this month to bring austerity to an end after eight years of cuts. big tax and spending decisions will come next year, but the chancellor will try and match rhetoric with money. he's also mindful of the calls from labour and tory mps to help people make the transition onto universal credit. there's a lot of concern in the commons about that. but with no parliamentary majority, and no certainty about the impact brexit will have on the economy, the chancellor is likely to be cautious rather than bold. ben wright, bbc news. full coverage of the budget begins on bbc two and the bbc
8:06 am
news channel at 3pm today. and you will be part of that. i will dash to westminster. looking at these books which are pretty interminable to try to make some sense of it. it is almost eight minutes past eight. the 11 people killed in a mass shooting at a us synagogue have been identified by police. they include two brothers and an elderly married couple. a multi—faith memorial service has been held in pittsburgh. the man accused of the killings will appear in court later today. 0ur correspondent gary 0'donoghue reports. again the people of pittsburgh came together in numbers to convert an console one another. a single question on all of their lips. how could such hatred come to their community? as we walk through the shadow of the valley of death... but outside world was here is well

while the american justice system may deal with him, the country itself seems that a total loss over how to end this regular drumbeat of these mass shootings. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, pittsburgh. the far right candidate, jair bolsonaro has won brazil's presidential election, with 55% of the vote. he had campaigned on a promise to eradicate corruption and to drive down brazil's high crime rate. but he had been accused of racism and sexism. during the campaign he was stabbed and seriously injured at a rally. in a victory speech he promised to protect freedom and democracy and change brazil's destiny. a plane with 188 people on board has crashed into the sea off indonesia. the lion air boeing aircraft went down a few minutes after taking off from the capital jakarta for the regional city of pangkal pinang. a rescue operation has been launched and debris has been found at the scene. let's get the latest from karishma vaswani, who's in singapore.
8:09 am
what more can you tell us? in the last hour or so indonesian authorities say they have begun to build parts of bodies from that area, the waters where the plane crashed earlier today. from what we understand, there has been a number of vessels that search and rescue officials have sent to this focus point where they have been scouring for any signs of survivors, alongside some of those bodies. they have also got a degree and have managed to fish out debris from the aircraft —— they have also got debris and have managed to fish out debris. possessions from those people on board. at this point it is still not clear what caused the crash in what authorities have been saying, they are continuing to look for the flight data recorder which
8:10 am
should hopefully if we find it reveals a more answers. the boss of the lion airline in indonesia said the lion airline in indonesia said the plane had encountered technical difficulties at one point before this flight difficulties at one point before this flight but that had been resolved. independently, aviation a nalysts resolved. independently, aviation analysts i have been speaking to said they detected a problem within the first few minutes of the flight path when the plane first took off and said that the aeroplane struggled to maintain a level flying balance, but at this stage it is still too early to say what exactly caused that crash. thank you very much for telling is the very latest, thank you. —— thank you very much for telling us the very latest, thank you. the duke and duchess of sussex have met with volunteers at a new zealand cafe that helps to highlight mental health issues. 00v) they then met with school children who were waiting outside.
8:11 am
—— they then met with school children who were waiting outside. one little boy, joe, seemingly shy at his royal encounter, was given a hug from his teacher as he met meghan and was tickled by harry as the prince tried to cheer him up. i was thinking this was kind of peak toddler, but it wasn't because it would be a proper tantrum... laughter yes. good morning. you are watching brea kfast. the chancellor phillip hammond will deliver his last budget before brexit today. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is in downing street. alex, this is a tricky one for the chancellor — lots of pressure to spend more but complicated by brexit? brexit around the corner, so everything could change, but we have also seen the prime minister saying "the end of austerity"?” also seen the prime minister saying "the end of austerity"? i think these are the two biggest challenges for philip hammond in this budget, to be honest. the uncertainty calls around brexit, which philip hammond has already said might mean they will have to go back to the drawing board because he says the budget he will deliver this afternoon is based on the assumption the uk will get a
8:12 am
brexit deal with brussels, and if it doesn't it could be back to square one, because we don't know the impact on the public finances and the economy. as you say, the other real political challenge is that the prime minister not so long ago stood up prime minister not so long ago stood up at the conservative party conference and said that austerity is atan conference and said that austerity is at an end and people need to start feeling that, so there is some pressure on philip hammond to deliver on that front. as we often do, we have had some trails of what we can expect this afternoon, extra money for the health service and specifically mental health, announced today as well as money for roads, money to help reinvigorate the high street by helping out with business rates for companies there, so business rates for companies there, so think we will see some giveaways, but remember philip hammond is a pretty prudent man over also i think we will not get a huge bonanza and he will try to keep a bit of balance in mind. alex forsyth, standing outside what looks like a rather cold downing street door, thank you. matt is really out in the cold, at a
8:13 am
beautiful place. let's get the forecast with matt, who's at the westonbirt arboretum for us. the autumnal colours look fantastic but we feel it could become a bit more wintry with the temperatures... yes, a very good morning, and to make the most of those colours, things are changing that week. if you cast your eye along is lovely what way, the weight is not the colour of the wood but the sparkle of frost. a very cold start and in fa ct we of frost. a very cold start and in fact we have the seasons battling it out at the moment. certainly the case at the weekend. look at some of these fantastic shots from the weekend. the first couple from yesterday morning in the highlands, by weather watcher highland rows. you can see the beauty of the autumn colours in the foreground, blue colours in the foreground, blue colours are said —— weather watcher highland rose. the snow—covered hills and mountains and the norm is not just been confined hills and mountains and the norm is notjust been confined to the mountains. 0n notjust been confined to the mountains. on saturday morning,
8:14 am
eastern scotland, north—east england, they walked it seems a little more like the shots. the first one coming from john's house in durham. you can see the dusting of snow right across the field, and roy has sent us this shot, snow covering the decking, really good coating there. not as much snow in the forecast this week because as i said things will change. looking at the forecast, we have got a chilly start, frosty start, for many, but things will turn more mild, wet and windy, much more like autumn by the time we hit the end of the week. 0ut today, high pressure in charge across scandinavia and that is keeping the weather fronts to the west of ireland at bay but bringing an easterly wind and a few showers across eastern scotland and eastern parts of england in particular. they have been wintry across eastern scotla nd have been wintry across eastern scotland and north east england, but mainly as rain further south and rain showers towards the channel islands today, parts of eastern
8:15 am
northern ireland and the hebrides, but for most after a frosty start temperatures still down in the minus figures for many. they will lift into low single figures i think for the vast majority, but it will bea for the vast majority, but it will be a sunny afternoon for most. so a sunny end to the day across many areas, but it'll stay clear mainly in the west tonight, where we are most likely to see frost. in the east the wind will pick up in the cloud will spill in, the continent having an influence. at least not quite as cold as it will be, as it has been, through the nightjust gone, temperatures sticking in high single figures for many. tuesday morning, that of an east west split, in the east outbreaks of rain and persistent, along the coast particularly for eastern england and b winds for east anglia and the southis b winds for east anglia and the south is getting close to gale force at times. further west, for eastern england and the winds. temperatures
8:16 am
for many still in single figures. then into wednesday the first signs of change, because the winds instead of change, because the winds instead of coming from the east or north will be coming from the south and south—west. coming off the atlantic, bringing outbreaks of rain to western areas, some fairly lengthy, some sunshine in between, eastern areas having a brighter and drier day compared to tuesday and also a good deal mild there as well, temperatures around 13 degrees. if you plan to enjoy the ten colours make the most of it this week because by the end of the week strong winds may rip some of those leaves from the trees. that is how it is looking. acta chris and louise. well remembered, matt! he has so much to remember! —— back to chris and louise. are you all right? he is still talking! let's leave them out in the cold. 18 minutes past eight. he steered leicester city to its greatest triumph, but club owner vichai

" 0bviously then believe it at first. i said, "are you joking?" 0bviously then the story came out, and a tragedy, it really was. absolutely. both of you
8:18 am
know the owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha. alan, can you tell us about what he was like? just... if you were in the pub, you would think he was just one just... if you were in the pub, you would think he wasjust one of just... if you were in the pub, you would think he was just one of your mates, you was that sort of guy. eight years ago when he came into the pub, we didn't really have enough to pay the milk bill around this football club, in the last eight years committee has transformed us. as i was saying here, the team won the premiership, 0k, they got to the quarterfinals of the euros, you know, but it was with vichai 's backing, his and his family's, everything around the place. he wasjust like a normal guy and that is why it has hit everybody's all right, the work he has done, notjust everybody's all right, the work he has done, not just at the football clu b has done, not just at the football club at in and around the city, the candy, massive donations. never made a song and dance about it, just got on with it, he wasjust a tremendous
8:19 am
quy~ on with it, he wasjust a tremendous guy. that is why you see all the tributes here today, and they will grow. they will be around the stadium by the end of the week. i'm sure they will be, alan. and it is clear he was a proper fan as well, wasn't he? no, i mean, it is testa m e nt to wasn't he? no, i mean, it is testament to him. i have been in the game 30 odd years, and i have never seen a game 30 odd years, and i have never seen a chairman lord like this chairman. ——i seen a chairman lord like this chairman. —— i have never seen a chairman. —— i have never seen a chairman loved. as bertie said, he went around doing hisjob, very unassuming, and he put the money where his mouth was. you often football about people taking over football about people taking over football clu bs football about people taking over football clubs and promising this and that, well, this guy, she delivered. everything he said, he delivered, and it is such a sad, sad day. you would come into the training ground, say, you know,
8:20 am
settle down, you would know vichai, and his son, they would come to watch training, they had flown up from the southjust watch training, they had flown up from the south just to watch a couple of hours of training, that's how passionate they were. we had functions here in the evenings, and all of a sudden he would make an announcement there would be, you know, £1 million donated to the local children's wing of the hospital. he didn't make a fuss about it, you just got on with it and turned up. you would be in the clu b and turned up. you would be in the club shop on match days, having selfies with the fans, he would give out beer on his birthday, doughnuts and shirts, and i think he gave away about 6000 season tickets while he was here. he was that kind of guy, just your best mate. ian and alan, both former players, devastating for the fans, obviously, devastating for the fans, obviously, devastating for the whole city, but what about the players as well? the players, you know, the story about kasper running
8:21 am
out when he saw... he made everybody pa rt out when he saw... he made everybody part of the family, and i think it is an unusual scenario with a chairman and player bonds like that, because as i said i have been in the game for a long time and you never really have that bond with the chairman, but here he made himself available to people. as bertie says, like your mates. not so much your boss, but a friend you could ask advice from, and i think a lot of the players have done in the past. it is just devastating, what has happened. you know, as you see, with all the tributes and everything, as bert said, it is just going to grow, because he is probably the best chairman i have ever seen in my footballing career. yes, just... is often the first day he came into the training ground and i thought, "here we go again, someone just in for the glory," and we go again, someone just in for the glory, " and there we go again, someone just in for the glory," and there wasn't any in them
8:22 am
days, but he has built this football club, you know, and it is what it is today. ideas about moving to a new training ground, £100 million, extending the stadium, and hopefully that will still go ahead, but it will be down to his son top, susan whelan, the chief executive and the board, but we hope his legacy carries on for this football club. he will never be forgotten here, never. ian and alan, both paying tribute, thank you very much for your time this morning. a pleasure. right back a real sense of what he meant to the city. it is 24 minutes past eight —— meant to the city. it is 24 minutes past eight -- yes, real sense of what he meant. tottenham hotspur will battle it out with manchester city in the premier league tonight, but 100 years ago the team's players faced a very different kind of fight. 16 lost their lives in world war one, and now, ahead of remembrance day, star striker and england captain harry kane has kicked off a campaign to commemorate them. we sent mike bushell to the team training grounds to meet him and find out more. from golden boots to green fingers,
8:23 am
kane and co digging deep to ensure that football fans never forget. there we are, the england captain has helped kick off this remembrance campaign, digging in the first of hundreds of trees that in all will be planted by 63 clubs from carlisle to exeter. as soon as the whistle went, these chaps went over the top, you probably heard the expression, he walked over... it is part of a woodland trust campaign to keep alive the memories of football players who fought and died in the first world war. the spurs centre—forward walter tull was one of 16 spurs players lost in battle. he was the first black officer to join the british army and his service is also being commemorated a century on by statues called tommies, built by ex—service men and women and produced by the charity remembered, part of their there but not there campaign. it's amazing to think that they were out playing football and then off to the war. they made the ultimate sacrifice for us. so great to have days like this to remember them. the sacrifice of people from sporting clubs ranging
8:24 am
from tottenham hotspur right down to the local football club in any town was quite phenomenal. there were over 1000 professional footballers served. tottenham hotspur as a club lost 16 individuals during the course of the first world war, which is an amazing sacrifice for one club. it is fitting the england captain of today is leading the tributes. his own status has reached new heights this year having led his england teammates to the world cup semis and even now, it still hasn't fully sunk in. it was such an amazing journey. we kind of came back and went straight into the premier league season, so i still don't think a lot of us fully understand how mad it was back here. i think we've had so much misery in the past, we alljust wanted to go and enjoy it, you know? where we were, it was quite quiet and we didn't go out of the hotel much, to be fair. it was so mad, fans from ovbiously countries all around the world,
8:25 am
