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. we've been speaking to leicester city legend alan birchenall, who played for the team between 1971 and 1977, and who is now an ambassador for the club. he told us about his memories of mr vichai. brilliant. just a brilliant guy. i remember the first day he came through the gates of the training ground andi through the gates of the training ground and i thought, here we go. we had just come out of administration. we couldn't afford to pay the milk bill at this football club over that desperate but, my goodness, how wrong was i? they have been brilliant. the structure and... the

play in the champions league, we won the premier. i know the team won, the premier. i know the team won, the management, the staff on that, but we would never have won that without the backing of the german and king power. it's unbelievably tragic incident that has happened on saturday year. leicester city's players have been paying their tributes to the club's owner on social media. goalkeeper kasper schmeichel, who was seen running towards the crash to try to help the victims, said: "i cannot believe this is happening. i am so totally devastated and heartbroken". and added: "it is so difficult to put into words how much you have meant to this football club and to the city of leicester. you cared so deeply for notjust the club but for the entire community. never have i ever come across a man like you. so hard—working, so dedicated, so passionate, so kind and so generous in the extreme." club captain wes morgan said he was "absolutely heartbroken and devastated regarding the news of our chairman. a man who was loved and adored by everyone here and someone who i personally had the utmost respect for." and strikerjamie vardy said:

"struggling to find the right words, but to me you are legend, an incredible man who had the biggest heart, the soul of leicester city football club. thank you for everything you did for me, my family and our club. i will truly miss you. may you rest in peace". in the past hour, the duke of cambridge has paid tribute to leicester city owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha, saying in a statement: "i was lucky to have known vichai for several years. he was a businessman of strong values who was dedicated to his family and who supported a number of important charitable causes. he made such a big contribution to football, not least through leicester city's magical 2016 season that captured the imagination of the world." is well, our correspondent jon ironmonger is outside the king power stadium in leicester. everybody just in everybodyjust in shock, john. that's right. that really seems to

be the case. everybody is stunned. it is no more than two days since that terrible accident and hundreds of people are paying their respects all the time. there is a higher shrine of tributes growing all the time outside the king power stadium with thousands of reeds, flowers, football shirts, teddies. also poignant messages about them taking vichai srivaddhanaprabha to their hearts. one man said he felt that he was the head of a family here. what is remarkable is the outpouring of love and affection for this man, who took the football club and the city took the football club and the city to their hearts, and that feeling was reciprocated here. we obviously bought a lot of money into the football clu b bought a lot of money into the football club and saw them reach that almost miraculous success winning the premier league, but he made a lot of magnanimous gestures here in the city, as well. he donated millions to the hospital and

university. he set up a charitable organisation as well that has raised millions. it is come as a great shock to a team whose fortunes have been all over the place recently. people are stunned here today. john, thank you very much. we are expected ina thank you very much. we are expected in a news conference shortly from air accident and the heaters from just outside the stadium. we will bring that to you as soon as it happens. it is remarkable, the number of tributes there and all of the warm words that have been said asa the warm words that have been said as a tribute to the club was my corner, the enormous difference that he made there in leicesterfor that football tea m he made there in leicesterfor that football team will never be forgotten. football team will never be forgotten. the chancellor, phillip hammond, delivers his last budget before brexit today. an extra £2 billion 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. let's cross to westminster and my colleague vicki young. good morning. the man is of course coming from all sides as they always do before 131 macro. the backdrop to this not just brexit, do before 131 macro. the backdrop to this notjust brexit, whether chancellor wanted to keep some room for manoeuvre, but also that phrase used by the prime minister about the end of austerity. that programme of cuts that were started really in 2010 as the conservative and lib dem coalition tried to balance the books. it meant cuts to all areas of government, local government, welfare particularly. how far is the to go today? most of the information will be tucked away in the red box until this afternoon. but some announcement had been made ahead of the budget. an extra £2 billion a year will be given to mental health services —

with a dedicated unit in every school and a&e department in england. england roads will receive a £30 billion package, including repairs to motorways and potholes. and a relief for small businesses with a £900 million fund to reduce business rates. this all comes as the prime minister has promised an end to eight years of austerity — a message that's been echoed by the health secretary, matt hancock, this morning. 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 over the last decade or so, since the financial crash, that has been necessary , financial crash, that has been necessary, but i think bobby will see today is coming out of that the biggest and longest ever settlement for the nhs, the extra £20 billion,

and supporting other areas, too. labour says it would end and reverse austerity and is threatening to vote down the budget if the government doesn't. here's their shadow treasury minister, annaliese dodds. the are very concerned that this seems to be a very panicked budget, actually. obviously, theresa may promised that there would be an end to austerity and now her chancellor is trying to deliver this, but he's not actually saying where he's going to get the money for any of this from. we're not seeing trailed at the moment any change to the tax cuts that he's put in place for the top earners and for profitable corporations, so it looks like he'sjust using a little bit of the headroom that he's got from statistics that are a bit better than expected, using that to give a bit of a funding boost, but not getting us to a more sustainable place for the long run. let's speak now to our assistant political editor, norman smith, at downing street. how much room for manoeuvre does the chancellor have, given that that big announcement about nhs funding has

already been made? the truth is that philip hammond doesn't really have scope to do much at all. because we are all waiting for brexit, but also just financially stable we have a significant deficit, we have debt at around 80% of gdp and it is very ha rd to around 80% of gdp and it is very hard to see who he —— how he could push through any tax rises. if you put all that together, his room for manoeuvre is put all that together, his room for manoeuvre is very put all that together, his room for manoeuvre is very tight. i think philip hammond would be happy to cancel this budget, given that he doesn't have much to do as we all wait for brexit. on the plus side, the revised board cast for the deficit gives a little room to play for, so there are going to be a few incremental policy announcements, as we have already said, more money for mental health, more money for roads, more money for rural broadband, more

money for the high street. there will be a few bits and pieces, but by and large have a strong suspicion they shall not be one of the more memorable budgets. also, the prime minister saying that the m2 austerity had come off. is that the best of a hostage to fortune, given that philip hammond, whatever he says, it will not be enough for some people? it was clear that theresa may wanted to garner the plaudits at the party conference by announcing the party conference by announcing the end of the territory, and that is the headline she got, but tucked into that speech was also the statement that the end of austerity was dependent on a good brexit deal, exactly what philip hammond has said. it is not the end of austerity now, it is the beginning of the end of austerity once and if we get a good exit deal, and even then, it may be at very slow and protracted

process , may be at very slow and protracted process, because already there are a lot of bills coming in which philip hammond will have to meet, 20 billion more promised for the nhs, significant expansion in social housing with local councils now able to borrow to build, with the treasury picking up the tab. we know that the pay is coming to an end next year, likewise the freeze on working huge benefits. all of that has to be paid for already before the chancellor begins to ease departmental spending, so the age of austerity, although it may be eased is still going to be with us i expect for some time to come. thank you, norman smith. one of the other areas people have been talking about areas people have been talking about a lot is universal credits. to discuss this i'm joined by two former work and pension secretaries, damian green for the conservatives and yvette cooper for labour. universal credit is running into

trouble according to some people. even some under backbenchers are worried that some people could be thousands of pounds worse off. what can the chancellor do to alleviate that? there is a number of things, and the government has already done some things. inevitably, there were teething problems when it first became ruled out. clearly there needs to be more changes. i hope and expect to see some this afternoon. one of the next essential changes is to try and reduce the amount of delay before people get the first payment. there are various ways you could do that. the other suggestions are, iain duncan smith has suggested restoring the amount of benefit to get even if you are in work. that is another way of ensuring that money does go to the right people at the right time. i expect we will hear

something from the chancellor about universal credit this afternoon. do you think you should go further, pause the roll—out, scrap it together —— scrap it altogether?” think they need to halt the roll—out. people are really worried my constituency. the foodbanks are already overstretched, the advice services are worried about what will mean for families being into poverty. bearing in mind that this means families not getting the payments until after christmas. it means families being hit in the run—up to christmas. that is why i think they need urgent action. this is partly about the level of funding and the scale of the cuts, many families potentially losing £2000 a year. it is also about the design of the system which means delays in the first payment, but also the single household payments that can make it harder when you have a minority of cases where there is domestic abuse,

as well. if you will have the prime minister promised an m2 austerity, that has to mean an end to austerity to the families who are working hardest and struggling most to make ends meet. damian green, the prime minister saying the m2 austerity, that means expectations are incredibly high. every government department in whitehall will be wanting some of the money that philip hammond supposedly has available. we are talking £30 billion on roads, national roads and local roads. we have seen £20 billion for the health service, which is the top priority for many people. more money in that for mental health. because we have had responsible management of the economy for the last eight years, the chancellor is now in a position where he can spend serious money on the public services we all value most. he have to do that in a responsible way. i'm surejohn

mcdonnell for the labour party will promise what every due do we will do three, four times as much. the british people are intelligent enough to know that that is not a responsible way to come out of this territory. the conservatives have cut back our public services at such a the parade as at the same time as cutting taxes for some of the richest people in the country and some of the biggest corporations in the country. they made a choice about us territory, not just cut so steeply at the beginning that it hit growth, but also to keep on cutting at the same as cutting taxes for some of the richest in the country. the idea that this would be turned around by a slow and steady process is not good enough. it is not there on services that have been so heavily hedged. corporation tax cups means that not only do we have more

people injobs means that not only do we have more people in jobs because means that not only do we have more people injobs because businesses have more to invest but also the tax ta ke have more to invest but also the tax take from corporation tax has gone up take from corporation tax has gone up since we started cutting the tax rates, it is completely mad... the world economy has grown so of course you would expect that to happen. you make choices about what is important and people across the country know that they are not important and their services are not important. they are much more likely to have a job now than when you're government was in power. we had rising employment... not in the towns. we must leave it there. lively debate already and the budget hasn't even been announced yet. we'll have special coverage of the chancellor's 2018 budget speech from 3.00pm this afternoon on the bbc news channel. stay with us for that. a passenger plane with 189 people on board has crashed into the sea off the coast of the indonesian island ofjava. the lion air boeing 737 had

taken off from jakarta on a domestic flight when it lost contact with air traffic control. it was due to arrive at depati amir airport in pangkal pinang an hour later, but 13 minutes into the flight, authorities lost contact with the plane. andy moore has this report. there were over 180 people on board the crashed plane. some of theirfamilies have been arriving at jakarta's airport seeking information about their loved ones. they were escorted away by officials. out at sea, an oil slick appeared to mark the crash location. the plane went down in daylight in good weather. some debris has also been recovered. this appears to be an emergency chute. there are also fragments of fuselage and personal items. the aircraft crashed in relatively shallow water. divers are going down to pinpoint the wreckage. the airline said there had been a

problem on a previous flight. translation: this aircraft was pronounced fit to fly. there were reports about a technical problem but we solve that problem based on the procedures set under the aircraft manufacturer. the plane crashed just 13 minutes after take—off. real—time tracking showed it was struggling to gain height. the crew had asked to return to the airport. the operator of the plane was lion air, indonesia's largest low—cost carrier. until 2016, it was banned from flying in european aerospace because of a poor safety record, but that had improved recently. the crash involved a new aircraft that had only gone into service in august. this man had an incredible tale to tell. he was supposed to be on the plane but missed it because of heavy traffic. six of his work colleagues were on board. at sea, there's plenty of debris,

but no sign of any survivors. more than nine hours after the crash, there is almost no hope of finding anyone alive. at this crisis centre, the loved ones of the passengers of that plane, family members are coming up to as questions about lion air officials. they have been told to the largerform officials. they have been told to the larger form and officials. they have been told to the largerform and on officials. they have been told to the larger form and on that form they need to give out their name and relationship to those on board, then they are being told to wait here anxiously for more news. up on the wall here is a list of passenger

names, people coming up to try and check if their family is on there before coming up here and asking for more information. a short while ago lion air officials told people here that they didn't have any more news and told them to just wait. at the port here in jakarta, and told them to just wait. at the port here injakarta, search and rescue teams are bringing back the debris of the plane and amongst that debris of the plane and amongst that debris they have find bodies and are bringing them back in body bags. ambulances are stationed over here to bring them and to tell the families who are related to them. angela merkel has reportedly told senior party officials that she's willing to give up her role as party leader, but wants to keep her role as german chancellor. mrs merkel was due to stand for re—election at the cdu's party conference in december. her decision comes after the party suffered heavy losses in regional elections that threatened the stability of the governing coalition. jair bolsonaro has won brazil's presidential election.

the far right candidate took 55 percent in the run—off vote in his victory speech, mr bolsonaro said he would protect freedoms and democracy, and promised to change the destiny of brazil, but concerns have been raised about his policies on climate change and deforestation, and his hostility towards minority groups. here's our south america correspondent katy watson. there was no holding back their excitement. the legend, as mr bolsonaro's supporters call him, will be brazil's next president. stop with the robin, they chant, a dig at the workers party. more than just affect refought temp one, these elections have been a referendum on

the and elections have been a referendum on the - and 1; poster boy, former the left and its poster boy, former president lula da silva. mr bolsonaro and his supporters blame them for all the ills brazil is suffering, growing violence, economic struggles and political graft. that hatred has propelled them to write to the very top.” think that my country need security, morals, conservative morals and mainly honesty. to fight against corruption because corruption in brazil was very, very, very great. translation: i'm so happy i never could have imagined this here's everything brazil needed. even before the results were in these people were celebrating. for them, mr bolsonaro brings much—needed change to brazil. for millions of others his victory is deeply worrying and the future of the

country uncertain. these elections have been angry and tense throughout as people cast their vote on sunday the divisions were laid bare. many felt uncomfortable talking publicly about the political allegiances. after the results were announced, jair bolsonaro spoke on facebook, bowing to change the country. translation: we couldn't keep flirting with communism and less wing extremism. we all knew where brazil was heading. what i want the most is following god's teachings and alongside the constitution to be inspired by great world leaders. we have everything to be a great nation. his defeated rival responded. translation: here we have a commitment to the prosperity of this country, we who helped build democracy, one of the biggest in the world. in brazil we must have a commitment to maintain it and not accept provocations and not except threats. mr bolsonaro's victory was

a blow for millions. when the results came through, chants of not him rang out. he has been accused of not respecting the rules of democracy, of admiring the country's former dictatorship and offending minority groups without the thought. mr bolsonaro's president xi ushers ina new mr bolsonaro's president xi ushers in a new period of four for many. he doesn't learn from history. we had a dictatorship and many people deny what happened. i can fear for people, poor people, black people, 95v people, poor people, black people, gay people, he has said a lot of things that makes people scared. his country has ta ken things that makes people scared. his country has taken a sharp swing to the right but the opposition says it won't give up, determined not to ta ke won't give up, determined not to take away the gains that the country has made since it returned to democracy 30 years ago. let's return now to the chancellor's final budget before the brexit. vicki young is at westminster. there has been lots of speculation

if there will be some help for the high street. most people have noticed shops closing down and there are some budding business rates might be part of the problem. let's discuss this a bit more. i am joined by helen dickerson, chief executive of the british retail consortium. what do you think the chancellor needs to do to re—invigorate the high street? over the weekend we have seen some trailing about a possible announcement of help for small businesses on the high street in terms of reducing their business rates. we welcome that, but on that soon rates. we welcome that, but on that soon it is not enough. out of the 3.1 million people who work in retail, the majority of those people working businesses that would not benefit from what is being discussed asa benefit from what is being discussed as a possibility that he will announce this afternoon. what are the alternatives? some people are saying that's we need to make these

shops are different experience to come to. we are in a process of reinventing high street up and down the country. many other shop much more online and that these being driven by demand from consumers and innovation and investment by retailers. what we need to do is make sure the cost of investing in physical space in our high street in our communities is not too onerous. that takes us back to a business rates system that is unsustainable. the costs are too high and the property business taxes need support. why have some manage to survive on the high street and others haven't? people will be thinking about debenhams, house of fraser. lots of these bigger companies, what has gone wrong for them? what we are seeing is a perfect storm of lots of things all happening at the same time. technology transforming the way that

we all shop. rising costs, a lot of them public policy related, falling profits, the man being very soft. that is creating a real challenge, particularly for some businesses. others are looking at how they will restructure their own operations, working out what stories they might wa nt to working out what stories they might want to keep open. the key thing about the backdrop to that is making sure that it is facilitated in the right way to enable that successful reinvention of our high street in our communities. that takes us back to making sure the costs of operating are much lower than they are today. isn't that the point, that the harsh reality is we are shopping in different ways? the invention of the internet, the fact it is so much more convenient for people. how can shops and businesses deal with that? we need modern and diverse high street up and down the country. that

involves not just street up and down the country. that involves notjust thinking about retail and shops but leisure and ca re retail and shops but leisure and care in the community and more modern workspaces in our local communities, and again the road from here to there requires a lot of focus and resource is thought about how to insure that happened successfully and making sure people are not dis— incentivise from enabling it to happen. so taking away some of the costs of operating in that physical space is a really key thing along with planning rules, car parking, along with having a strategy and vision for the future. thank you. lots of people from all different areas hoping that the chancellor has some good news and saw for them. all will be real glitter. let's catch up with the weather. we had a cold and frosty start to the day, temperatures got down to minus five

degrees in parts of northern ireland and in parts of central scotland but we start of the glorious weather, lots of sunshine out there at the moment. there will not be a grey deal of change this afternoon, some clouds moving into eastern areas of the uk with the odd shower pushing on, it could turn when three of the high ground of scotland but for most it is dry with higher cloud moving in from northern ireland as well. maximum temperature is up to a roundabout 7—10d. for tonight we have clear spells and with those clear skies turning quite cold quite quickly, across eastern areas the cloud increasing outwith that there will be some rain leading into eastern areas. the curvature map has greens and yellows with temperatures holding up above freezing. where you have the blues in the west it will be another cold night, frost to start off on tuesday. workload around kapur to today adding eastern and south—eastern areas there will bea and south—eastern areas there will be a bricks of rain. goodbye. hello this is bbc newsroom live.

quy: him so special? brilliant, brilliant guy, i him so special? brilliant, brilliant guy, i remember the first day he came through the gates of the training ground and i thought here we go, we had just come out of administration, we cannot even afford to pay the milk bill, we were that desperate. but my goodness, how wrong was i? he had been brilliant. the infrastructure, right, we play in the champions league, we won the premier, and other team in, in the champions league, we won the premier, and otherteam in, and ‘management and staff one that, other management and staff one that, but we would never have won that without the backing of the chairman and king power. it is in an believable tragic incident that has happened on saturday. for those who don't know, would you mind me asking you to explain the circumstances of you to explain the circumstances of you becoming an ambassador for the clu b you becoming an ambassador for the club for life on the challenges faced recently and what he did for you on about 18 months ago i was at an awards dinnerand you on about 18 months ago i was at an awards dinner and had a cardiac arrest and i died for seven minutes. fortu nately

arrest and i died for seven minutes. fortunately because i was in the right place at the right time that is why i know i am here today, thinking about the chairman and glenn hoddle as well, and from our football clubs point of ub which claimed a speedy recovery from what has happened to him but they were fantastic with me and give me all the time i needed to recuperate, and it was the whole family, i just also sorry for tom who obviously is a vice—chairman. they work so well together. the infrastructure of this football clu b together. the infrastructure of this football club is all down to them, we are in the process of going into a new training facility, all for 100 million, and probably new extension to the stand as well. at the moment that will have to be on hold and there are other things to prioritise. in the immediate term the match tomorrow has been postponed. whether the club go from here? fans or worry about what happens. this will grow. the

tributes for him will grow and it will be in the stadium by the end of the week. what he did, it is not just the football club. with my role here that the football club i have seen here that the football club i have seen him pour millions into local charities and the hospitals in the area, it was notjust the charities and the hospitals in the area, it was not just the football clu b area, it was not just the football club he focused on, it was the wider area. that is why he is so loving the city in this county. echoing the thoughts of so many in the aftermath of that tragic helicopter crash —— helicopter crash. more now on the chancellor's final budget before brexit. phillip hammond is under pressure to end eight years of austerity after theresa may promised cuts to public spending would end. let's return to westminster and my colleague, vicki young. the crucial question of course is how much room for manoeuvre does philip hammond have? he has already

announced 20 billion extra for the nhs, and much more money has he got for all those other demands that are coming at him from various whitehall departments and local government of course, people wanting help for the arrest of credit. the numbers and number crunching of crucial importance in someone here to help me is thomas from the institute for fiscal studies. the chancellor has committed to some things already, how much room does he have for manoeuvre? based on the plans are chancellor set out in march and subsequent improvements for the nhs that implies quite large cuts to other areas of government over the next three years. he has some room for manoeuvre to change that slightly, to somewhat ease the squeeze but we think a minimal definition of meeting what the premise to promise of a new austerity would require at least 19 billion, and if you are to increase spending by that much it is hard to see how that would be consistent with his long—term objective is to

eliminate the deficit entirely by 2020. people have talked about and having some extra money, the pathetic tax receipts were higher than he may have thought. how much does that amount to? and why has that happened ? does that amount to? and why has that happened? tax receipts are coming better than expected, that is good news for the chancellor. that helps somewhat. and it looks like the kind of tax receipts are doing better. that could be consistent with the economy growing better than the official numbers suggest. there have been some suggestions that this could amount to around 13 billion, that would be very welcome for the chancellor make things easier. but is not the kind of money that would make these difficult decisions go away. he would still certainly have to ta ke away. he would still certainly have to take spending plans going forward look for spending rises not be on course to the task of eliminating the deficit. on further tax rises, he has committed to taxes about the

40% band. where mighty raise them? in the tax side, tax cuts more likely in the face of it and rises, he has promised he will freeze fuel duty in cash terms for another year. he still has the commitments on personal allowance and higher range thresholds for income tax. in terms of other options corporation tax is set to fall further over the next few years, set to fall further over the next few yea rs, if set to fall further over the next few years, if you were to cancel that it would be worth about £5 billion. they have also been talks with a possible digital service attacks and digital companies, but the devil will be in the details to see how much money anything like that could —— anything like that could raise. we will look very closely this afternoon to see not just which rabbit pulled out of the hat but of course have the chancellor will pay for it all. coming up on bbc news: what will the budget mean for you? this evening, we'll be joined by financial journalists jasmine birtles and claer barrett, to answer your questions about the chancellor's plans.

to get involved, you can text your questions to 61124, email to askthis at bbc.co.uk, or on twitter using the hashtag bbcaskthis. that's this evening at 8.30 on bbc news. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. tributes continue to pour in for the owner of leicester city, who died when his helicopter crashed outside the stadium. the chancellor prepares to present his budget — he's expected to put forward plans to deliver on the prime minister promise of an end to austerity. rescue teams have been recovering bodies off the coast of indonesia after a passenger plane came down with 189 people on board. well our business correspondent jamie robertson is at global investment manager schroders in the city to bring us a budget business special.

it is an absolutely beautiful day here right in the middle of the city. have a look in that view behind. it is gorgeous. we will not necessarily talk about the big city things, big financings, the way in which the chancellor has two balance his books. i want to talk about what it will mean to many people, about how it is going to change people's lives. if the prime minister says we are coming to the end of austerity will we feel like we have come to the end of austerity? i match traders, a big fund management company in the middle of london. i will be talking to their personal finance director is claire wall. claire, let's start with tax. income tax. any chance of a move? the

conservatives pledged in their ma nifesto conservatives pledged in their manifesto that they would raise the income tax thresholds are the personal allowance is a to go up by 2020-2021 in the personal allowance is a to go up by 2020—2021 in the higher rate tax threshold to 50,000 in the same year, so threshold to 50,000 in the same year, so we threshold to 50,000 in the same year, so we still have a few years ago andi year, so we still have a few years ago and i think we will see small reasons there. what will see introduced as £12,000 for the personal allowance. this will be my frown number and anyone any will have some tax—free cash in their back pocket. the chances are he will leave the freezing of official fred couples ears because he can take that children have thousand and freeze it and then he will be saving money even if he does not save money now. what he will want to do today is give people hope that makes it sound better than they are. what about national assurance? he has tried that before and it was a very popular. that was a dead duck before, so i think you'll be careful with what he does there. we have had

meetings that there will be some changes to tax rates for self employed people, perhaps bringing these more in line with employees. free 80, no change there, they can live that can they? i don't know, the conservatives pledged they would not go for mean taxes, they were not change income tax thresholds, income tax rates, but vat could be up for grabs. what about those big tech titans that get away with not paying any tax? the vehicle after them in this budget? we would like to see that but... it would be very popular. government struggle with this big problem in right now they have other things on their plates and they don't want to drive businesses away with the forthcoming brexit, i don't think we will see that happening. what about housing? that isn't quite a bit of talk about what he could do to help generation rent, people struggling at the

bottom of the housing ladder or who aren't even on it. we have seen a lot of moves to help young people onto the property ladder, things like hell to bike, and while this is all very well and good for those people that leave said those who can afford to buy or choose to rent and i think it would be great to see more options for them, and may more support or tax breaks for companies doing built to rent, and there has been the suggestion that the chancellor introduced tax breaks landlords, perhaps a softening of cgt for people selling properties to existing tenants. that could be interesting. howard that work? currently if you sell a property and you have been renting it to someone then you would have to pay capital gains tax, generally of 28% on the growth value of the property. many buy to let landlords sit on properties that maybe they would like to sell but they feel they have a huge tax they have to pay another put them off. the or other side of

people renting property to maybe happy there and would love to own it but the property is not available so if there was some sort of softening of that it could be an attractive move for all parties. what about universal credit? there has been a lot of talk about difficulties about money going towards that. how would the money be used as more money to go towards universal credit? from my understanding the universal credit money is more about improving the ministration, we have seen examples of people of —— people waiting weeks to get their money are having to go to get their money are having to go to benefits offers numerous times and this has put them into financial difficulty so i think improving the process to help people get their money faster will not be about raising the amount of money they are getting but improving the process. inheritance tax is another one which conservatives have always been desperate to protect, but there may be changes, there could be money to be changes, there could be money to be saved there. yes intelligence taxes in testing because only 4% of

the wealthiest estates in the country pay inheritance tax but service of the public routinely show that there is, that most people feel it is an unfair tax. the sense is that if you have worked hard all your life to have delayed wealth you should be able to pass it on. there has been a widespread review into inheritance tax but i think the current climate i can see them doing anything radical. what i can see them doing is giving small giveaways and so for example you can currently give up to £3000 a year without incurring inheritance tax on that, that has been said since 1986 and it is such a ridiculously small amount ican is such a ridiculously small amount i can see everything that substantially, perhaps 10,000 a year. this will encourage other people to give money to younger people to give money to younger people and young people are more likely to go out and spend it, driving the economy. this time tomorrow will people feel better off or will they be better off? will be enoughin or will they be better off? will be enough in there that people will be given a bit of hope, particularly

hopefully future if we get a good brexit deal, which is one of the things hammond is time to dangle the sun. we manage this without offering a brexit once. well done. you warm and cold they ends a very exciting day. it ended when mr hammond comes up day. it ended when mr hammond comes up with. although be revealed. women over 34 are being automatically refused ivf treatment on the nhs in 12 areas of england, this programme has found. ivf should be offered to women until age 42, guidelines say, but new figures show around 80% of areas are failing to do this. the department of health said "blanket restrictions" were "unacceptable". 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. the duke and duchess

of sussex have met volunteers at a new zealand cafe that helps to highlight mental health issues. they then met 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. earlier, the duchess of sussex also praised the achievements of new zealand women, who were the first in the world to get the right to vote. and in the location in newport is that achievement but also the wider impact of what this allows us. because yes, women's suffrage is about feminism but feminism is about fairness. hydrogen—powered trains could be carrying passengers on britain's railways within the next few years. the trains are seen as a cleaner — but pricier — alternative to diesels — which are widely used on the uk

network, because the exhaust emission is pure water. the government says they could be introduced on branch lines where electrification is costly. our environment analyst roger harrabin has been to see some of the trains in action in northern germany. it looks like the sort of standard diesel train new and final commuter lines and an oral areas, where rail electrification has not reached. but here in germany they have developed one of the world's first trains to run on hydrogen fuel cells. it is only when you're on top of the train you can see how different it really is. so here for instance underneath —— under this grill these are the fuel cells that keep the thing powered. coming to outside these are the fans and keep those fuel cells cool the fans and keep those fuel cells cool. this is how it works, hydrogen from an on—board tank goes to a fuel cell. that takes in oxygen from the air. ina

cell. that takes in oxygen from the air. in a chemical reaction to make power. the first trains ran on cold course, as was filthy. diesels are still in the gases that harm people and keep the climate, unlike ultra clea n and keep the climate, unlike ultraclean hydrogen. this is the omission from the exhaust. you can smell it, i'm told you can't taste it, that is because it is water. pure water. battery powered trains have been trialled in the uk and elsewhere, as a substitute overhead power lines. so what is the advantage for hydrogen? we're using hydrogen because it will give us a better range of the train during the day, the batteries take longer to charge and give us less energy through the data we would have to reach them several times to provide the range we get with hydrogen. 150 minute hydrogen fill up drives the

train from the 600 miles. what's more, hydrogen can be produced by surplus wind power. there is no way that we ought any other country is going to electrify every part of its network, how do you replace diesel on those lines? what we see is hydrogen technology being essential to that. it is clean, green, it avoids complex infrastructure, it has to be a really important part of the rail network. how close is the hydrogen train? i think we will see them operating in the early 20 20s. hydrogen made here in germany will go straight into service, makers expect good business as governments around the world except the need to cut emissions to protect the climate. time for the weather. we have had a cold and frosty start of the day with temperatures quite widely this morning that minus 3——5,

but many of us have started off with a crisp sunny day and this was the scene this morning in wiltshire. we have also had a few showers affecting eastern areas of the uk, this is kent, double rainbow. you can't quite make it out. through the morning as you can see we have had a few showery closing toward eastern part, that is producing some rain but it should remain dry here. showers continuing to feeding towards eastern parts, fairly well scattered and it could be wintry. for most of us, though, there will be very little change this afternoon with that sunshine and quite a cold feeling day with maximum temperature is about 7—10d. overnight and it continue easterly feed of cloud and showers and eastern parts, perhaps more persistent rain moving into the south—east little runner because of their cloud you can see from the

tadic appear we have greens and yellows, temperatures staying above freezing but it is in the west you have those blues and frost returning tonight so across these western areas, temperatures down below freezing. but staying above freezing in the east. that is because it is more cloud and rainjust brushing the far south—east of england, some showers coming into north—eastern wonders well. a few showers shifting westwards, but otherwise for many western areas it cold crisp started the day. why do we have clouds appeared to today and those temperatures very similar as well. the rain across the east is associated with the low pressure, that moves up into what scandinavia and we have a week when a sister moving into words the west on wednesday. this will bring workload across western areas and showery rain across western scotland in the western areas of wales. but was eastern parts wednesday looks like a sunny day, and temperatures will be creeping up a little bit. as cold as

we go into the later stages of the week. for thursday it should be a dry day for many, as we get into friday there is concern in the forecast for the end of the week but looking like it will turn wet and windy by fabian at the weekend. tie into that some uncertainty about you will keep you up—to—date here on the news channel. you're watching bbc newsroom live. these are today's main stories: tributes continue to pour in for the owner of leicester city, who died when his helicopter crashed outside the stadium. the chancellor prepares to present his budget — he's expected to put forward plans to deliver on the prime minister's promise of an end to austerity. eyeing vicki young at westminster, where everybody is wondering how much cash philip hammond has to splash and, crucially, who will benefit? rescue teams have recovered bodies and wreckage off the coast of indonesia, after a passenger plane came down

with 189 people on board. the far right candidate, jair bolsonaro, wins brazil's presidential election, taking 55 % of the votes. cleaner, but more expensive — how hydrogen—powered trains could be carrying passengers on britain's railways in the next few years. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i'm joanna gosling. leicester city football club has 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. the clubs players have been leading tributes and a book of condolence will be opened to the public at the king power stadium tomorrow. our reporter lauren moss has this report. a football club with a broken heart.

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 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 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, our correspondent eleanor roper is outside the king power stadium in leicester. so much shocked and upset that what has happened here, eleanor. yes, and it's really quite moving to see how many tributes there are. you can see

hundreds of bouquets of flowers and people have been queueing up one morning to pay their respects. you will also see lots of people leaving their football shirts and football scarves here, many of them dated 2015-16. that of scarves here, many of them dated 2015—16. that of course was the season when leicester city went from 5000-1 season when leicester city went from 5000—1 outsiders to champions. many people think they have the businessman from thailand to thank for that. i have spoken to many people today who are not football fans, but they have, because they feel that this man did so much for the city. he bought the club in 2010 £439 million. he has also donated millions of pounds to the local hospital and to leicester university, so people feel that they have a lot to thank him for. we've been speaking to leicester city legend alan birchenall, who played for the team between 1971 and 1977 and who is now an ambassador for the club. he told us about his memories of mr vichai.

brilliant, brilliant guy, i remember the first day he came through the gates of the training ground and i thought here we go, we had just come out of administration, we cannot even afford to pay the milk bill, we were that desperate. but my goodness, how wrong was i? they've been brilliant. the infrastructure, right, we play in the champions league, we won the premier, i know the team won it, and other management and staff one that, but we would never have won that without the backing of the chairman and king power. it is in an believable tragic incident that has happened on saturday. leicester city's players have been paying their tributes to the club's owner on social media. goalkeeper kasper schmeichel, who was seen running towards the crash to try to help the victims, said: "i cannot believe this is happening. i am so totally devastated

and heartbroken". and added: "it is so difficult to put into words how much you have meant to this football club and to the city of leicester. you cared so deeply for notjust the club but for the entire community. never have i ever come across a man like you. so hard—working, so dedicated, so passionate, so kind and so generous in the extreme." club captain wes morgan said he was "absolutely heartbroken and devastated regarding the news of our chairman. a man who was loved and adored by everyone here and someone who i personally had the utmost respect for." and strikerjamie vardy said: "struggling to find the right words, but to me you are legend, an incredible man who had the biggest heart, the soul of leicester city football club. thank you for everything you did for me, my family and our club. i will truly miss you. may you rest in peace" in the past hour, the duke of cambridge has paid tribute to leicester city owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha, saying in a statement:

the chancellor, phillip hammond, delivers his last budget before brexit today. an extra £2 billion 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. let's cross to westminster and my colleague, vicki young. the demands are coming in from all quarters ahead of the budget. everyone wanting more money for

their particular project, but there are two things in the background to this budget. there are the prime minister's words, talking about the end to posterity, posterity brought in as the government tried to balance the books. of course, there is also drags it, this is the last budget before we leave the european union. philip hammond making it clear he wants some room for an over whether there is a deal or not. most of the information will be tucked away in the chancellor's red box until this afternoon, but some announcements have been made ahead of the budget — an extra £2 billion a year will be given to mental health services — with a dedicated unit in every school and a&e department in england. england's roads will receive a £30 billion package including repairs to motorways and potholes. and there'll be some help for small businesses with a £900 million fund to reduce business rates.

this all comes as the prime minister has promised an end to eight years of austerity — a message that's been echoed by the health secretary, matt hancock, this morning. 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 over the last decade or so, since the financial crash, that has been necessary, but i think what we will 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. labour says it would end and reverse austerity and is threatening to vote down the budget if the government doesn't. here's their shadow treasury minister, annaliese dodds. we are very concerned that this seems to be a very panicked budget, actually. obviously, theresa may promised that there would be an end to austerity and now her chancellor

is trying to deliver this, but he's not actually saying where he's going to get the money for any of this from. we're not seeing trailed at the moment any change to the tax cuts that he's put in place for the top earners and for profitable corporations, so it looks like he'sjust using a little bit of the headroom that he's got from statistics that are a bit better than expected, using that to give a bit of a funding boost, but not getting us to a more sustainable place for the long run. let's speak now to our assistant political editor, norman smith, at downing street. how much room for manoeuvre does philip hammond really have? there is a lot of pressure on him given what the prime minister has said about this being the end to austerity. i think he has precious little room for manoeuvre. he has limited room to move because we still have a

significant deficit, we have set up 80% of gdp, nearly double what it was before the financial crash. on top of that, given the insurrectionary mood in the conservative party, it is hard to see holly he could increase taxes. more than that, everything is on hold until brexit. until it is settled one way or the other, there is little prospect for any major move by the treasury will start today i think will be very cautious, verity constraint, although, interestingly, the attempts we saw at the weekend by philip hammond to douse down expectations, saying that there would only be an end to austerity if and when we got brexit deal. that appears to have annoyed downing street, because the prime minister's spokesman in the last few minutes has been striking a much

more optimistic note, suggesting that the era of austerity will be coming to an end regardless of whether there is a brexit deal or not. that is a different note to the very cautious one struck by philip hammond. many brexiteers repeatedly bemoaned the fact that philip hammond seems to strike a rather pessimistic approach to prospects for the economy. andy reid of the budget, it seems that number ten is trying to give a more up the note to the budget today. trying to give a more up the note to the budget today. with me is the snp westminster leader, ian blackford. do you agree with labour that this should not just be do you agree with labour that this should notjust be the end to posterity but it should be reversed, as well? yes, we said that in our ma nifesto as well? yes, we said that in our manifesto at the last election. people are really hurting from the

effects of austerity over the course of the last ten years and we have had a situation where we have had the less decade for wage growth in over 200 years. the economy is flat—lining. we have the lowest growth in the whole of the g—7. there is a crisis in the economy that the chancellor is providing over “— that the chancellor is providing over —— presiding over. we know if there is no—deal brexit, what happens today is worthless. the chancellor will come back again. what he should be doing is saying to the prime minister, if we want each year we are detecting prosperity, we need to stay in the single market and customs union. that is the message we really need to see today. what philip hammond would say is that over the years by trying to bring down the deficit, they have taken difficult choices but the finances are in a better place, there isjob growth, more people in work than before. they would say that having made those difficult

decisions then i have a bit of room for manoeuvre. looking at the forecasts, uk economic growth will be the vestry on. austerity has been a political choice. the government backin a political choice. the government back in 2009 ghana programme of quantitative easing. some of it was necessary , quantitative easing. some of it was necessary, but we have pumped 435 billion into the financial markets, putting cash into the pockets of those responsible for the financial crisis. what we should've done is balanced out with investment in infrastructure. we didn't need to hit the pool with the way we have done. have we had done that we would have faster growth and proper deficit and debt down. the chancellor has ta ken deficit and debt down. the chancellor has taken the wrong choices at every turn. what do you think the priority should be for philip hammond, given that we are led to believe there is a bit more money to spend. what he needs to do is make sure we are tackling the crisis that there is in the public

sector. the fact that people haven't had a increases over the last few yea rs. had a increases over the last few years. he has to deal with the problems that are there in universal credits. universal credit has been ruled out in many parts of scotland and it has led to very considerable problems. the highland council are having to bail the government out. need to deal with the problems in universal credits. thank you very much indeed. thank you very much indeed. we'll have special coverage of the chancellor's 2018 budget from 3.00pm this afternoon on the bbc news channel. stay with us for that. the headlines on bbc news: tributes continue to pour in for the owner of leicester city, who died when his helicopter crashed outside the stadium. the chancellor prepares to present his budget — he's expected to put forward plans

feel. i truly great, kind, said that words can't describe how i feel. itruly great, kind, loving man who will be missed so much by everyone. if the secretary general said that his kindness, passion for leicester and its people touched the hearts of many. there will be much more reaction later and tributes on the bbc news channel throughout the afternoon. lewis hamilton says he is not thinking about trying to match michael schumacher‘s record after winning his fifth drivers title in formula 1. no one has more than michael schumacher, winning seven. next is juan manuel michael schumacher, winning seven. next isjuan manuel fangio, who hamilton now shares his position with. i don't look at it that i have missed things. everyone has to sacrifice things, but i'm doing everything they want to do. am i sacrificing? there are for sure

sacrifices will you need to make sure and deliver, but they are not sacrifices that you wish you didn't have to make. they are sacrifices that will get you what you want to be. if at the beginning of the year and his said you have to leave this site, leave that out, stay in, do these different things, then you will get yourfaith, these different things, then you will get your faith, dam these different things, then you will get yourfaith, dam right these different things, then you will get your faith, dam right that will get your faith, dam right that will do it! the australian cricket team says they will not allow sledging to get out of hand any more. a report into the culture of the team was launched after the scandal of players using sandpaper on the ball. we now know what is right and wrong. we know what is right and wrong. we know what australian cricket expects of us and we will be holding each other accountable, saw the store to get out of control, it willjust be me, there will be a number of guys who

are continuing to work with police on the site and expect to be there until the end of the week, at which point the wreckage will be taken to the specialist facilities in farnborough for a more detailed examination. in the meantime, they are still gathering evidence. they are still gathering evidence. they are appealing to anyone who was there he may have videos are photographs that may be of assistance to contact leicestershire police on 101, quoting incident number 546. police on 101, quoting incident number 546. a passenger plane with 189 people on board has crashed into the sea off the coast of the indonesian island of java. the lion air boeing 737 had taken off from jakarta on a domestic flight when it lost contact with air traffic control. it was due to arrive at depati amir airport in pangkal pinang an hour later, but 13 minutes into the flight, authorities lost contact with the plane. andy moore has this report. there were over 180 people on board the crashed plane. some of theirfamilies have been

arriving at jakarta's airport seeking information about their loved ones. they were escorted away by officials. out at sea, a debris field marked the site of the crash. the plane went down in daylight in good weather. some wreckage has been recovered. this appears to be an emergency chute. there are also fragments from the cabin and personal items. the aircraft crashed in relatively shallow water. divers are going down to pinpoint the wreckage. the airline said there had been a problem on a previous flight. translation: this aircraft last flew from bali to jakarta. it was pronounced fit to fly. there was a report about a technical problem, but we solved that issue based on the procedures set down by the aircraft manufacturer. the plane crashed just 13 minutes after take—off. real—time tracking showed it was struggling to gain height.

the crew had asked to return to the airport. the operator of the plane was lion air — indonesia's largest low—cost carrier. until 2016, it was banned from flying in european aerospace because of a poor safety record, but that had improved recently. the crash involved a new aircraft that had only gone into service in august. this man had an incredible tale to tell. he was supposed to be on the plane, but missed it because of heavy traffic. six of his work colleagues were on board. at sea, there's plenty of debris, but no sign of any survivors. more than nine hours after the crash, there is almost no hope of finding anyone alive. andy moore, bbc news. a bbc indonesian service reporter has sent in this report from jakarta military airport where they have set up a crisis centre for relatives.

here at this crisis centre that has been set up, the loved ones of the passengers on board that plane here at this desk, family members are coming up to ask information from lion air officials. they have been told to do to form and that form they need to give their relationship and their relationship to who is on board. they are being told to wait here anxiously for more news. up on the wall here is a list of passenger names, people are coming up to try and check and see if their family is on there before coming up here and asking for more information. a short while ago lion air's officials told people here they did not have any more news and told them to just wait. at the port here injakarta,

search and rescue teams are bringing back the debris of the plane and amongst that debris they have found bodies and are bringing them back in body bags. ambulances are stationed over here to bring them and to tell the families who are related to them. the families who are related to them. let's return now to the chancellor's final budget before brexit. let'sjoin let's join vicki young about more discussion on what we might expect. the dup are in confidence and supply agreement with the conservative government so they depend on them and may well depend on them to get this through completely when it comes to the vote on the budget. what did the dup want to see from the announcement today? what did the dup want to see from the announcement today? with me is the dup's brexit spokesman, sammy wilson. what are the priorities for you in

the budget today? we have said to him that he must maintain his promise not to drag more and more people into the higher tax brackets or with rising wages have more people at the lower end pushed into paying tax for the first time. we hope to see the tax thresholds raised. i think that would be good for households across the united kingdom. on the issue of businesses, the biggest issue for business at present seems to be business rates and we have suggested to him, why can't you put the tax on the digital companies, the amazon and google of this world, and you stand revenue to use rate relief pending a proper review of rates. on the issue of universal credits, which we believe isa universal credits, which we believe is a good concept, but which could be destroyed if a lot of poor people who are dragged into universal credit find themselves worse off as a result. he needs to put some

resources into that to make the system work and to ensure that it doesn't get a bad name, which is unnecessary. philip hammond has the reputation as being a cautious chancellor. he suggested yesterday that anything announced today will depend if there will be a brexit deal. he wants to keep some money back, something to fall back on if there is no deal. people are already talking about an emergency budget if that happens. it could just be proper prudence. on the other hand, it could be him playing politics and using the budget for making a political statement that if jade dernback the prime minister's deal, then there is going to be severe economic consequences and we will have to have emergency budgets and need all this additional money. if it is just need all this additional money. if it isjust prudence, need all this additional money. if it is just prudence, then need all this additional money. if it isjust prudence, then i need all this additional money. if it is just prudence, then i suppose thatis it is just prudence, then i suppose that is the right thing for a chancellor to do. if it is used in a way to make political statements and to try to drive people towards a

certain kind of brexit deal, then we would not be happy with that and would not be happy with that and would be saying so. briefly, some of your colleagues are suggesting that your colleagues are suggesting that you might not back the budget. we made it clear if the outcome of the negotiations on the withdrawal agreement meant that northern ireland was going to be from separated the rest of the united kingdom, then with the —— we would be opposing the budget because it is the only leverage we have the government. we haven't seen the outcome of the withdrawal agreement so outcome of the withdrawal agreement so what would be reckless for us to oppose the budget based on something we haven't seen. however, the government will need support when it comes to the finance bill, which implements the measures in the budget. when it comes to legislation on universal credits also. they should not take for granted just because the budget past that they can do whatever they want to

northern ireland. sammy wilson, thank you. well, let's speak now to our business correspondent jamie robertson, who is at global investment manager schroders. i want to look at the budget from a macro economic point of view, the point of view of how much the chancellor has to borrow, he has to spend on how much he can bring in in revenues. i'm joined by michael, professor of economics at the city university of london. when you look at those three things, how much he has to borrow, get in in revenue and how much he has to spend, what kind of position is ian? the short-term problems are pretty much passed. the uk was very close to a sovereign debt crisis ten years ago. even with

breads, that won't happen. the chancellor can borrow as much as he likes right now. the problem is the long run. in about eight years, even with the cuts implemented, simply because of demographic change, the debts will stabilise over the next decade, then it will rise exponentially very quickly. is he thinking of that now? without going into too much brexit detail, there area into too much brexit detail, there are a lot of other things to think about. one would hope that at a time when there is no recession, at a time when it is still possible to lower the debt burden in anticipation of the crisis that is brewing in the future, he would be responsible and take this into account. overall, compared to a lot of other politicians, he is quite concerned about these things and i don't think there will be a massive

spending splurge. if he is going to ta ke spending splurge. if he is going to take your advice, the idea that you have to spend money on social care, the elderly, the nhs, is he paving the elderly, the nhs, is he paving the way to more of that happening over the coming years? theresa may already added £20 billion. that is not immediate, but by the end of parliament, to the health care budget. that will not improve service very much, that is essentially just accommodating the demographic change we have seen up to now. beyond that, they are probably going to have to put in place serious reforms to the way the pension system operates, either tax rises, particularly getting rid of a lot of the exemptions on vat, to finance the growing herd and that comes from shrinking workforce as a share of the population and a growing number of elderly. very

briefly, doesn't break to get in the way of all those things? brexit makes it worse a lot of these problems in the short—term. we think that the uk economy is 2% overall thanit that the uk economy is 2% overall than it would have been otherwise of the referendum, but given the size of the problems, within... by 2046, the uk debt is projected to be were italy is now, and italy is in crisis. after that, we will reach greek levels of debt. that is coming at the end of the next decade, or if you start them. a brexit in those terms is essentially a rounding error. what will you see as the main feature of this budget today? we would hope that there isn't going to be any further increases in spending, especially on the services. there is probably room for more investment in infrastructure

because that could help the economy grew a little faster, which would again in media react to some of these problems. one would hope that we are not going to see a retreat from the pledge to stabilise the debt at least sometime in the middle of the next decade. do you think you will change these tax structure? that is where the brexit instability comes in. i suspect he will not do anything to radical until we know what will happen next, deal or no deal or what that might look like. that is optimistic by the way about the likelihood of getting a deal from the eu at this point. and you feel there will be another budget in a few months' time? most likely there will be at least some tinkering. it probably won't be that radical because i think the uk can go deeper into deficit in the short term

without some sort of catastrophe. that is all very brisk and breezy but a very beautiful day in the middle of the city. let's catch up with the weather. we have had a cold and frosty start to the week, and it will remain quite quiet weather wise at least for today. but through the week it will turn more complicated and certainly by the end of the week it will turn wet and windy and not as calls. but this morning crisp and sunny for many of us, a few showers affecting eastern scotland and england, over the mirrors and grampian said could be snow again as we saw the weekend. some claverton north highlands and elsewhere, with maximum temperatures getting 27—10d. the it continuously easterly wind coming in across eastern scotland and eastern areas of england, lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain. you

notice from the temperature map we have greens, not as cold here, you notice where the blues are in the west and the frosty start as he got into tuesday. for many it will be driver there will be rain affecting eastern areas throughout the day. hello this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines: tributes continue to pour in for the owner of leicester city, who died when his helicopter crashed outside the club's stadium. vichai srivaddhanaprabha was killed alongside four others when the aircraft spiralled out of control on saturday. the chancellor, philip hammond, is preparing to present his budget, in which he'll set out the government's spending plans. he's under pressure to find more money for public services —— numberten said —— number ten said the budget announcement will be fully funded regardless of whether the uk secures brexit deal. rescue teams have been recovering bodies and wreckage off the coast of indonesia

after a passenger plane came down with 189 people on board. the lion air boeing 737 crashed into the sea thirteen minutes after taking off from jakarta. the far—right candidate, jair bolsonaro, has won brazil's presidential election, defeating fernando haddad of the left—wing worker's party with 55 percent of the votes. and the government expects hydrogen—powered trains to begin carrying passengers on britain's railways within the next few years. they're likely to run on lines where electrification is too difficult or expensive. more now on the chancellor's final budget before brexit. phillip hammond is under pressure to increase spending on public services after the prime minister's pledge to end austerity. we canjoin we can join vicky young. everyone here waiting to see how far philip

hammond is prepared to go when it comes to splashing the cash, he is notoriously seen as a cautious chancellor, focusing in the last couple of years on balancing the books but he is under pressure from all sorts of people putting in their bid to some of that money. i am joined by ray newton smith. rain, what do you think the priority should be for the chancellor? we are just living out of a spirited, there is still a long road ahead but for us what is most important is focusing on business investment, how we can make it easierfor focusing on business investment, how we can make it easier for businesses to invest and create jobs here we can make it easier for businesses to invest and createjobs here in the uk. eight out of ten businesses are delaying or postponing investment plans because of the huge uncertainty around brexit. the chancellor has the annual investment allowa nce chancellor has the annual investment allowance which he could increase to £500,000 per yearfor two

allowance which he could increase to £500,000 per year for two years to make it easier for businesses to invest in them it is about looking at training and wider investment across the uk. i'd like what you think the chancellor ‘s priority should be given that the prime minister has said steady is coming to an end. i would like to see hand delivered on that aspiration of the prime minister, i'm sceptical that he will put his money where the prime minister's most was but that is essential because we have had eight years of tens of billions of pounds being sucked out of our economy, and that has had a devastating impact on public service but has also had a negative impact on the uk economy. we sucked in and out of the economy so it is important the chancellor sends the right signals, invest in public services in the physical and social infrastructure in the days of austerity behind us. there will be people seeing as fat as businesses go they have had the benefits of tax cuts, there is more to come. is that where the priority should be?m

cuts, there is more to come. is that where the priority should be? it is true that the overall corporation tax at 90% is low but what business has talked to me about is that it is ha rd to invest, has talked to me about is that it is hard to invest, higher capita oliver ‘s regime is one of the least competitive in the d7. that is why it is crucial that we make it easier for business to invest because that is the only way to grow our way out of austerity and be sustainable over the long term. at the moment the chancellor is giving some indications about his spending priorities but i think the main tra nsfer priorities but i think the main transfer that is part of the competence of spending review and thatis competence of spending review and that is really about looking at the government spending department budgets next year. the issue here is about the chancellor would say he has tried to balance the books, bringing down that spending on the deficit, bringing down those interest payments which are really going to nowhere, and actively he will not have enough money for everybody so putting to £20 billion extra into the nhs, although that is

being generous. you mentioned corporation tax, the government could save itself 6 billion by not going ahead with the corporation tax cuts planned for 2020, and it could make positive choices like to invest in our teachers and nurses and other public servants who have now had seven or eight years of real parents pay cuts. they could invest in our public services which is vitally needed. it is now he's putting extra money into the nhs, any additional money into the nhs, any additional money is welcome. if you're taking hundreds of millions out of local government and social care to make those cuts and that has an impact on nhs. the people of this country are saying it is time for change in direction in time to put money into the pockets of working people. thank you both very much. we will be looking very closely later this afternoon to see with the chancellor comes up with. well let's cross to lancashire where our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith is at chorley autovolk, a car mechanics.

iam indeed i am indeed in the heart of lancashire, a small town called chorley which is partly between wigan and prestwick and you can see, i have many mechanics, i am in a garage talking to the owners here, the guys at work here, the staff coming in and out and crucially customers, two to try and gauge their reaction later today to whatever announcements the chancellor makes. the result was plenty to talk about it comes to the car industry and cars being fixed, when it comes to the future of the ca rs we when it comes to the future of the cars we drive. big announcements that have already been made or lea ked that have already been made or leaked by the chancellor. they are to do with roads, so there was funding allows for funding investment and also particularly for fixing potholes. 420 million that the chancellor said he will plough into fixing potholes across england and wales. the business owner here said he's not too worried that business will dry up because he does

a lot of work here on people's suspension. underneath the other quys suspension. underneath the other guys are hard at work because the roads are in such bad condition right across the uk. he said he has a trail of customers coming in to get their cars fixed and sorted out and that money from the chancellor is not causing too much concern that the business will dry up. it is also interesting to look in the wider picture as to how the business is doing here. so these guys are busy it is fairto doing here. so these guys are busy it is fair to say, there is an order book and waiting list in the car booked in hearing charlie because business is pretty brisk and it is an interesting barometer of what is happening at the wider economy, particularly when people are putting their cars and for things other than absolute basic maintenance and needing the car to get fixed. so when people put their cars in for a service ensures that potentially have a little more money, a little more cash to splash around and make sure the cars they have had in good working order. also interestingly

there is a lot of new cars being fixed in here so cars are thoroughly to three years old and that again shows the emphasis the government has put on funding our car industry here in the uk, subsidising that the large exte nt here in the uk, subsidising that the large extent in making sure that when people are buying a new car that it when people are buying a new car thatitis when people are buying a new car that it is a brand—new car that they are getting older. a bit of a barometer here. we will hear from customers today they have to collect their cars just after the chancellor has given his budget, so we can hear their reaction. an interesting places in charlie, hidden lancashire it was the first area to roll out universal credit. it will be interesting to hear the reaction that comes in that context and a lot of people here very car dependent. they are working elsewhere but they might be living in charlie but working elsewhere. there certainly dependent on their cars. and also the state of the roads. thank you.

coming up on bbc news, we want to know what the budget means for you. what are your thoughts, your concerns? get in touch if you want tojoin in our concerns? get in touch if you want to join in our conversation this evening where bejoined by her finance journalists. they will be answering your questions about the chancellor's plans. to get involved you can text your questions to 61124, email to askthis at bbc dot co dot uk — or on twitter using the hashtag bbcaskthis. that's this evening at 8.30 on bbc news. let's bring in some other news. women over 34 are being automatically refused ivf treatment on the nhs in 12 areas of england, bbc news has found. ivf should be offered to women until age 42, guidelines say, but new figures show around 80% of areas are failing to do this. the department of health said "blanket restrictions" were "unacceptable". 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. the duke and duchess of sussex have met volunteers at a new zealand cafe that helps to highlight mental health issues. they then met 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. earlier, the duchess of sussex also praised the achievements of new zealand women, who were the first in the world to get the right to vote. jair bolsonaro has won brazil's presidential election. the far right candidate took 55 percent in the run—off vote in his victory speech, mr bolsonaro said he would protect freedoms and democracy, and promised to change the destiny of brazil, but concerns have been raised about his policies on climate change and deforestation, and his hostility towards minority groups. here's our south america correspondent katy watson. there was no holding

back their excitement. "the legend", as mr bolsonaro's supporters call him, will be brazil's next president. bolsonaro! "stop with the robbing!", they chant — a dig at the workers' party. more than just a victory forjair bolsonaro, these elections have been a referendum on the left and its poster boy, former president lula da silva. mr bolsonaro and his supporters blame them for all the ills brazil is suffering — growing violence, economic struggles and political graft. that hatred has propelled bolsonaro right to the very top. i think that my country needs security, morals, conservative morals, and mainly honesty.

to fight against corruption because corruption in brazil was very, very, very great. translation: i'm so happy i never could have imagined this here's everything brazil needed. even before the results were in, these people were celebrating. for them, mr bolsonaro brings much—needed change for brazil. for millions of others, his victory is deeply worrying and the future of the country uncertain. these elections have been angry and tense throughout. as people cast their vote on sunday, the divisions were laid bare. many felt uncomfortable talking publicly about their political allegiances. after the results were announced, jair bolsonaro spoke on facebook, vowing to change the country. translation: we couldn't keep on flirting with communism

and left wing extremism. we all knew where brazil was heading. what i want most is following god's teachings and, alongside the constitution, to be inspired by great world leaders. we have everything to be a great nation. his defeated rival responded. translation: here we have a commitment to the prosperity of this country, we who helped build democracy, one of the biggest in the world. in brazil, we must have a commitment to maintain it and not accept provocations and not except threats. bolsonaro's victory was a blow for millions. when the results came through, chants of "not him!" rang out. he's been accused of not respecting the rules of democracy, of admiring the country's former dictatorship and offending minority groups without a thought. bolsonaro's victory ushers in a new, more fearful, era for many. i think it is bad because people

don't learn from history. we already had a dictatorship and people keep denying what happened. i can fear for people, poor people, black people, gay people — he says a lot of things that can make people scared. his country has taken a sharp swing to the right, but the opposition says it won't give up, determined not to take away the gains that the country has made since it returned to democracy 30 years ago. the headlines on bbc news: tributes continue to pour in for the owner of leicester city, who died when his helicopter crashed outside the stadium. the chancellor prepares to present his budget — he's expected to put forward plans to deliver on the prime minister promise of an end to austerity. rescue teams have been recovering bodies off the coast of indonesia after a passenger plane came down with 189 people on board. let's return now

to the chancellor's final budget before brexit. some announcements have already been made, the biggest is 20 million for the nhs but helping us discuss this more, i the nhs but helping us discuss this more, lam the nhs but helping us discuss this more, i am joined the nhs but helping us discuss this more, iamjoined by the nhs but helping us discuss this more, i am joined by katie enjoyed. expectations are high given the end of austerity has come, can the chancellor live up to these expectations? probably know, just because theresa may said that austerity is ending, she did caveat that by suggesting that this was not going to happen until after a brexit deal had been agreed but i don't think many have read the small print. pressure is on. universal credit the something to look at, we

also want to see more money for schools in the list goes on and i don't see how hammond can do that. he is known as a cautious chancellor, he clearly wants to keep brent and ever. philip hammond is an instinctive fiscal conservative, he thinks it is a good idea to keep government borrowing low as a rule so government borrowing low as a rule so that in times of trouble it does not rise a great problems in the obscene divisions already between theresa may and philip hammond over whether austerity is over. the premise that is clear in her co nfe re nce premise that is clear in her conference speech that is territories coming to an end, philip hammond does like to use the word you would think of it as simply being responsible. he has emphasised the balanced approach but he has not ruled out more money for public services, it is clear that the next spending review will be more generous than the last one, but he's also emphasising that he wants to keep reducing debt that will mean some tough choices particularly the conservatives will continue to meet their promises on tax, cutting tax.

that is the issue, they don't have a working majority in the dup are backing them at the moment. he has come under pressure from his own side on issues such as your credit. we expect the title do not want his control for him, because difficult measures, revenue raising measures are hard to get through in the last time and then try to do some thing like this was the knicks increased to read it on self applied workers and that would go badly and he had to go back on that so i think that is why we are going to see of backbench mps having a bit of what they want. and the scottish conservative mps because they want a few things. talk about tax-raising, he has got to get the money from somewhere. will we see some bad news for people? i would be surprised if we saw bad news at such a politically difficult time for the government, trying to reach a brexit deal by the end of the year and because of the scars that philip hammond bears from only tried and

failed to increase national insurance on the self—employed. he hasn't —— he will be held by improved borrowing forecasts that will help to meet the big spending pledge to the nhs, if anything i think you're likely to see the government relax some of its targets. they would not be a huge surprise of the target of achieving a surplus gets pushed further back. a very movable target. cindy osborne is that has been continually moving target. are you expecting any rabbits out a hat? a lot of pressure is on housing and the government say the something order sure they serious about and the policy of abraham is that serious about and the policy of abra ham is that last serious about and the policy of abraham is that last year was the axing of stamp duty for first—time buyers so we will watch there to see if anything happens. be expecting anything exciting? philip hammond is not as much of chauvinist george osborne was but i that housing would be politically smart. i think he willjust be hoping to get through,

it may well be his last one. that is it may well be his last one. that is it from us for now but there will be more literal and philip hammond delivers his budget. hydrogen—powered trains could be carrying passengers on britain's railways within the next few years. the trains are seen as a cleaner — but pricier — alternative to diesels — which are widely used on the uk network, because the exhaust emission is pure water. the government says they could be introduced on branch lines where electrification is costly. our environment analyst roger harrabin has been to see some of the trains in action in northern germany. it looks like the sort of standard diesel train you would find on commuter lines, but orrell lines of electroporation has not reach. even germany the development of the world's first trains to run on hydrogen fuel cells. it is only when you're on top of the train you can see how different it is. so here for insta nce see how different it is. so here for instance under these grills other

fuel cells that keep the faint palate. coming to the house side these are the fans that keep those fuel cell is cool. this is how it works. hydrogen from an on—board tank goes to a fuel cell, that takes in oxygen from the air. it creates a chemical reaction to make power. the first trains run on coal and that was filthy. diesels are still omit gases that harm people and heat the climate, unlike ultraclean hydrogen. this is the omission from the exhaust. you can smell it, and told he can taste it. that is because it is water. pure water. battery—powered strains have been trialled in the uk and elsewhere as a substitute for overhead power lines. so what is the latter hydrogen? you'll matt quinn using hydrogen? you'll matt quinn using hydrogen because it gives us a

better range for the train during the day and a battery would. batteries take longer to charge and give us less energy to the date, we would have to reach her several times to get the range we can go on hydrogen. 139 hydrogen fill up tries a train from more than 600 miles. what's more hydrogen can be produced by surplus wind power. there is no way that we are in a higher power —— any other country is going to electrify all part of the network, so how do you replace diesel on those lines? what we see is hydrogen technology being essential to that. it is clea n, being essential to that. it is clean, it is green and it of all —— avoids complex infrastructure. it must be an important part of the future of our rail network. how close are hydrogen trains?” future of our rail network. how close are hydrogen trains? i think we will see the first was operating in this country in 2020. hydrogen trains made even germany will go straight into service, the company expect good business as governments

around the world accept the need to cut emissions to protect the environment. its being described as a turning point for germany's cdu. chancellor, angela merkel says she won't seek re—election as the christian democrat's chairwoman in december. she's held the role for eighteen years. translation: i have a clearfeeling that it translation: i have a clearfeeling thatitis translation: i have a clearfeeling that it is time to open a new chapter because we are in today's time, we are rooted in today's time andi time, we are rooted in today's time and i would like to tell you my decision. first of all of the next party conference in hamburg in december i will not stand again for the office of chair of the cdu. secondly the fourth of this mandate is my last one. as the chancellor. soi is my last one. as the chancellor. so i will not stand again in 2021 as chancellor. and also not for the bundestag. and for the minutes i

will not strive to hold any more political offices. painful weather update. after the cold and frosty start we have a quiet autumn day today, the weather not changing very much over the coming few hours, most places enjoying blue skies and sunshine just like this in derbyshire. there area just like this in derbyshire. there are a few showers, creating some lovely double rainbow is there in norfolk and it is towards the eastern coast of in london scotland that we have a few showers coming inland. elsewhere a lot of dry weather in sunshine is we head towards the end of the afternoon, temperatures beginning to ease away so temperatures beginning to ease away so it will turn surely quite quickly. we have the band of coded words in north—west, not travelling is just yet. if we keep an eye on this area cloud looks a long way away and it has brought snow into the pyrenees and opening an area of low pressure northwards and bring heavy snowfall to the alps. and

damaging winds sweeping northwards towards scandinavia. we will be on the edge of that, it will clip the south—east of the uk. things could bea south—east of the uk. things could be a lot worse. ahead of that we must worry about the temperatures overnight and it is going to be across more western parts of the uk that will have clear skies and light wind and a frost as well. temperatures down to —2 —3. much milderfor temperatures down to —2 —3. much milder for eastern temperatures down to —2 —3. much milderfor eastern areas temperatures down to —2 —3. much milder for eastern areas of scotland and england, more cloud coming in from the north sea and bringing some drizzly rain in here and there. it will push its way further in westwards into tomorrow. there is an area of low pressure on them tomorrow, clipping the south—east corner of england and east anglia —— east anglia, we should see the cloud bricking up again across scotland and after cold start wales in the south—west should be quite sunny as well. in general more cloud than we are seeing today, there's temperatures very similar to those we see today so highs of 8—10d. at any of we see today so highs of 8—10d. at a ny of low we see today so highs of 8—10d. at any of low pressure takes the rain

away and the strong winds up into the north sea and then we have the weather front of band of cloud i should you earlier loitering in the west, it will start a military into the western part of the uk. workload on wednesday and we fight showers and longer spells of rain but for eastern scotland and eastern england and much of the midlands baby even much of southern island it will be dry with some sunshine. before we sat to see some rain heading towards the south—east later in the day. a bit miles around the middle part of the week, probably into thirsty as well. —— thursday as well. air accident investigators are examining the flight recorder of the helicopter which crashed outside leicester city football ground on saturday. five people died, including the owner of the club, vichai srivaddhanaprabha. thousands of fans and former players have been paying tribute to the man may credit for securing the premier league title.

we would never have won that without the backing of the chairman. and king power. it's just the backing of the chairman. and king power. it'sjust unbelievably tragic, the incident that happened on saturday. we will have the latest live from leicester. also this lunchtime.... the chancellor prepares to deliver his budget but is austerity really coming to an end?
