srivaddhanaprabha, amassed a huge fortune a short period and not a lwa ys fortune a short period and not always transparently. his king power business has an almost monopoly on duty—free in thailand and he was well—known in his own country. translation: he made me feel like i also shared ownership of the team and leicester city was the thai people's team. he was also able to make me feel proud, with dignity. it's a loss, a loss of his talent. i feel frightened by it. he it's a loss, a loss of his talent. i feelfrightened by it. he was it's a loss, a loss of his talent. i feel frightened by it. he was a it's a loss, a loss of his talent. i feelfrightened by it. he was a man who defied the odds, turning a duty—free shop into a multi—million pound business empire, taking a championship club to the pinnacle of english football and losing his life in the most unlikely of tragedies. in the last few minutes a number of players from leicester city have arrived to pay their own tributes. their game with southampton tomorrow has been postponed as a mark of respect. and separately, the air

accident investigation branch has released a statement saying they have begun to work on the flight data recorder which has been recovered, albeit badly damaged because of the fire and inspectors are expected to remain here for the rest of the week. studio: jon ironmonger, live in leicester, thank you. the chancellor, philip hammond, is preparing to present what's expected to be his last budget before britain leaves the european union. he's under pressure to increase spending, and spell out how the government will "end austerity", after theresa may made a pledge at the tory party conference. he's also facing calls for more money to help the rollout of universal credit. the government's flagship benefit reform. our political correspondent alex forsyth has more. in westminster, preparations for budget today are under way, speculation rife about what's in the red box. it's an unusual event for a monday afternoon, but politics is

pretty unusual these days. the chancellor putting the finishing touches to his plan with a cup of tea as to balance the uncertainty brexit brings with a political promise. the prime minister, at the tory party conference, said... a decade after the financial crash, people need to know that the austerity it led to is over and that their hard work has paid off. there will be plenty watching to see how that pledge plays out today, with hints of more money for key services. we know that people have faced difficult decisions in the la st faced difficult decisions in the last few years and people have made sacrifices. and that has been in order to get the economy on the straight and narrow and growing. we are seeing that, we have unemployment at record lows, lower than any time in my whole life time. and the result of that is we can spend tax payers money on their priorities, like the nhs. we know

the nhs is getting a £20 billion funding boost with £2 billion extra per year for funding boost with £2 billion extra per yearfor mental funding boost with £2 billion extra per year for mental health. roads are also in for some extra cash, £30 billion to improve motorways and mend potholes. high street will get help to rejuvenate, as well as business rate relief for small firms, and on fuel duty we expect another freeze. but critics say all of that is not enough. they have got choices in this budget. they could deliver the funding support in the long run that our public services need and be support for the very worst off peoples incomes that are desperately needed, but it doesn't look like they will do that and will persist with tax cuts for the best off people. it's not a sensible from government. want to watch, whether her department for work and pensions gets more money to ease concern about universal credit. well, we'll have to do is see what the chancellor says in his budget speech today. each cabinet minister arriving for the briefing today as demands for their own department.

arriving for the briefing today as demands for their own departmentm austerity really over, minister? the last budget before brexit is a balancing act and could change. the chancellor said the budget is on the assumption uk gets a brexit deal with brussels and if that doesn't happen, well commie he could go back to the drawing board. but number ten has insisted all today's spending commitments will stand no matter what. look closely, the scrutiny over this budget has begun already. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. so, lots of pressure on the chancellor to increase spending, but does he have the money to dole out? our economics correspondent andy verity is here. does he have the cash? be short answer, clive, is he has more than he thought he would have this time last year. there has been a bit of a boost. looking at his spending patterns, the problem we have dealt with for years is the deficit. what does that mean? if you have an income of £1000 and you spend 1200, this is a deficit. over the last ten

yea rs this is a deficit. over the last ten years the government deficit has come down and down, so the amount by which we overspend the income has reduced and the gap has been shrinking. but each time we overspend our income we always borrow more and more. so the debt has been rising. if you look at what has been rising. if you look at what has happened to the debt, it has gone up and up and up, nearly £1.8 trillion, 1.8 thousand billion pounds. that's about 84% of the value of the economy. so there are still problems to deal with. one good thing, the tax receipts, the money coming in from tax has been better than expected. so why about £13 billion he will have more money than he thought he might have. give him a chance to address the fundamental conflict in the budget. two conflicting goals. on the one hand the government wants to end the austerity, as theresa may said earlier this month. on the other hand,it earlier this month. on the other hand, it also wants to reduce the deficit. it is doing this at the same time as cutting taxes. how do

you square that circle? some people like the institute for fiscal studies have said if you want to end austerity and stop cutting department spending budgets, you have to do cost about £19 billion. at the same time you take money off benefit recipients by about 7 billion. all these forecasts depend on their being a dealfor billion. all these forecasts depend on their being a deal for brexit. billion. all these forecasts depend on their being a dealfor brexit. if there is not a dealfor brexit, all bets are off. andy verity, thanks. our assistant political editor norman smith is in downing street. is there a sense that the treasury and philip hammond feel their hands have been tied somewhat by theresa may's comments at party conference that austerity was going to come to an end? it is striking, there has been a deliberately low—key build—up to this budget, in part because it has been billed by philip hammond as the waiting for brexit budget. you sense within downing street there is some angst that the reputation of mr

hammond, which is that of a bit of a glum bucket, has gone down in expectations and it may not be possible to ease austerity if we do not get a good brexit deal. this morning number ten said no, not get a good brexit deal. this morning numberten said no, no, austerity will come to an end regardless of what happens with brexit. it's understood today there will be more cash for social care and more money to reverse some of the cuts to universal credit. there will be more money as well for defence, we are told. that doesn't hang together as an end to austerity. that'll have to wait until the spending review next year. and even then it might be a long haul because of existing spending commitments already made and the continued to deficit and high levels of debt. so ending austerity looks like it'll be a slow and protracted process. smith, thank you. and we'll have full coverage of the budget on the bbc

news channel from 2 o'clock this afternoon. and there will be a detailed look at what the budget means for you on the bbc news website, at bbc.co.uk/budget. rescue teams in indonesia have begun recovering bodies from the crash site where a lion air passenger plane plunged into the sea shortly after take—off. 189 people were on board. the boeing 737 was travelling from the capitaljakarta to the city of pangkal pinang on bangka island. the airline's chief executive says the plane had a technical problem on an earlier flight, but had been cleared to fly. andy moore reports. 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 marks

the site of the crash. the plane went down in daylight in good weather. some wreckage has been recovered. this appears 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 location. the airline said there had been a problem on the 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 from 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 airspace 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's almost no hope of finding anyone alive. andy moore, bbc news. our top story this lunchtime: players arrived at leicester city's ground to paid tribute to the club's owner who died along with four others ina

owner who died along with four others in a helicopter crash on saturday. we take a look at new hydrogen powered trains which could soon hydrogen powered trains which could soon be running on britain's network. coming up on bbc news... the boston red sox win their ninth world series with two games to spare after crushing the los angeles dodgers 5—1, for their fourth title in 15 years. the far—right politician jair bolsonaro has pledged to change the destiny of brazil after his emphatic victory in the presidential election. the former army officer took more than 55% of the votes in a run—off with fernando haddad of the left—wing worker's party. bolsonaro has promised to end corruption and crack down on crime. but his victory has alarmed many after sexist, racist and homophobic comments, and over concerns he'll relax protections on the amazon rainforest. our south america correspondent katy watson reports. there was no holding back their excitement. "the legend", as mr bolsonaro

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. corruption in brazil was very, very great. translation: i'm so happy i could never have imagined this. he is everything brazil needed. even before the results were in these people were celebrating. for them mr bolsonaro brings a much needed change to brazil, but for millions of others this

victory is deeply worrying and the future of the country uncertain. 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. 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. 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, admiring the country's former dictatorship, and offending minority groups without a thought. we already had a dictatorship and people keep in mind what happened. i fear for other people

who i can see — poor people, black people, gay people. this 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 the country has made since it returned to democracy 30 years ago. katie watson, bbc news, rio de janeiro. angela merkel has been leader of the christian democrats for 18 years and chancellor for 13. she will step down as leader in december. she made the announcement of the christian democrats fared badly in regional elections on sunday. jenny hill is in berlin for us. was this a surprise? yes, i think it was. protecting her political demise has

become a national sport in germany over the last year or so. today this morning angela merkel has herself announced what amounts to an albeit, drawn—out farewell to german politics. what has taken many of us by surprise is the fact she has a lwa ys by surprise is the fact she has always said if she is going to be the german chancellor, she must be the german chancellor, she must be the leader of her party. she has announced she will stand down as leader in december. angela merkel has been in a tight spot of late. her party is doing very badly in the polls and is losing voters. a coalition government has lurched from crisis to crisis. our coalition partners are also doing badly in the polls and they want to pull out of the coalition government, blaming herfor the coalition government, blaming her for that. this the coalition government, blaming herfor that. this morning's announcement was an attempt to silence the critics and perhaps even attempt to win back the voters, but now the vultures are circling. all sorts of people are throwing their hats in the ring to become the next

party leader and become germany's next chancellor. she has fired the starting gun in the race to replace her. with just over a week to go until the biggest electoral test of his presidency, donald trump has been out campaigning, trying to shore up support for republicans, ahead of the midterm elections. the vote will determine who controls congress. our correspondent chris buckler is travelling across the us to hear a cross section of views, and today he reports from wisconsin in the mid west. well away from washington, it's voters living in the middle of america who will decide whether democrats or republicans win the midterms. wisconsin is one of the so—called ‘swing states', a place where both parties believe they have a chance of getting people to turn to them when they enter the ballot box and that will help set the direction of politics in this country for the next couple of years. this election isn't about the presidency, but it really matters to president trump. currently, his republican party control both the senate and the house of representatives.

if democrats were to win both or either part of congress, it could make it much more difficult for him to push forward his policies and get legislation passed. hello, wisconsin! this is a great state... it's why, although he is not candidate, he has been on the road campaigning across the country for months, including here. and he's not alone. hello, milwaukee! the former president barack obama was also in wisconsin last week — both sides know visits like this really matter. having president trump come here, he's more able to see the community and what's going on here in wisconsin and the things that we need as a community. this has been an aggressive election campaign, with opponents often outspoken about each other. after a week when america has seen anti—semitic and politically—motivated attacks, there are people frustrated at the angry rhetoric

of president trump and others. a lot of it is his language and how he talks about people, how he treats people, how he's behaving. he doesn't behave like a president. politicians still have a week to convince families that they are on their side and winning in places like wisconsin could well be crucial. chris buckler, bbc news, wisconsin. around 2,000 people have attended a memorial service in pittsburgh in the united states, to pay tribute to the eleven people shot dead at a synagogue on saturday. the man accused of the attack, robert bowers, is due to appear in court later today. gary o'donoghue is in pittsburgh for us this afternoon. there is some suggestion this court hearing might not take place. yes, if you remember, he was shot a

number of times before he was taken into custody by the police. there was a firefight on the third floor of the tree of life synagogue before they got him. he has been treated in hospital in the last couple of days and there is some suggestion he may not be in a fit state to go to court. however, it is possible that a federaljudge could go to his bedside to administer the initial legal proceedings. if that happens, there will be 29 charges he is facing, a number of them related to hate crimes. we are now told the prosecutor in pittsburgh is formally seeking the death penalty from the attorney general if he gets a conviction against him. hydrogen—powered trains could be ferrying passengers on britain's railways in the next few years. they're very clean with their emissions being pure water, but they're also more expensive than diesel trains.

the government says they could be introduced on branch lines where electrification is already costly. our environment analyst, roger harrabin, has been to northern germany where hydrogen trains have already been introduced. it looks like the sort of standard diesel train you would find on commuter lines and in rural areas, that rail electrification has not reached. here in germany they develop one of the well‘s first trains to run on hydrogen fuel cells. it is only when you are on top of the train you can see how different it really is. under this grill, these are the fuel cells that keep the thing powered and coming to the outside 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 ran on

coal of course. that was filthy. diesel still emits gases that harm people and heat the climate, unlike ultra clea n people and heat the climate, unlike ultraclean hydrogen. this is the emission from the exhaust. you cannot smell it and i am told you cannot smell it and i am told you cannot taste it. that is because it is water, pure water. battery powered trains have been trialled in the uk and elsewhere as a substitute for overhead power lines. what is the advantage for hydrogen? we are using hydrogen because it is a better range than you would during the day when a battery is in use. they take longer to charge and give us they take longer to charge and give us less energy through the day, so you would need to recharge them several times to provide the range that you can get from hydrogen. 115 minute hydrogen filler drives the train for more than 600 miles. what is more, hydrogen can be produced by

surplus wind power. there is no way we or any other country will electrify all of its network, rural and branch lines. how would you replace diesel on those lines? we see hydrogen technology being absolutely essential to that. it is clea n, absolutely essential to that. it is clean, green and avoid expensive infrastructure. it has to be an important part of the future of our network? how close is the hydrogen train? ithink network? how close is the hydrogen train? i think we will see the first was operating in the 2020s. hydrogen trains made here in germany will go straight into service. the makers expect good business as makers around the world accept the need to cut emissions to protect the climate. lewis hamilton, is savouring the fact that he's only the third man in history, to win five formula one world titles. he's nowjust two short of the all—time record holder michael schumacher. well, andy swiss has been to the track in hertfordshire, where the 33—year—old newly crowned champion, fell in love with racing. he makes the remarkable seem almost

routine. five times champion of the world. but for lewis hamilton the emotion was plain to see. a fifth world title, not only lifting him to the highest echelons of his sport, but just days after the the highest echelons of his sport, butjust days after the death of his grandfather it was particularly poignant. my dad always tried to make his dad proud and i tried to make his dad proud and i tried to make my dad proud, so to get this fifth is... just a testament to my family because they believed in me from day one. you see all these families who do believe in their kids and it does not work out, but for as it kids and it does not work out, but foras it did. kids and it does not work out, but for as it did. i will continue to drive with them at my core and my grandad and hopefully today he is looking down, proud of what we have achieved as a family. it is the proudest of feats. his fifth title taking him level with a great wine

mangel fangio. only michael schumacher with seven titles has more, but his record could be under threat. absolutely fantastic, five world champions. if there is any doubters out there, i believe lewis can go all the way an equal michael's record no problem. can go all the way an equal michael's record no problemm can go all the way an equal michael's record no problem. it has been an incredible journey which began here at the kart track near his childhood home in stevenage. lewis hamilton was just eight when his dad burst brought him here, but now could the kid who once whizzed around this track go on to become the most successful driver in formula 1 history? what's he got on the track he was something else. i remember watching a bit of film yea rs later remember watching a bit of film years later and i said, there is lewis. and he said, dad, that is the second time he has gone past me. we got quicker, but nothing like him. he could do things that others could not do and it was fun to watch. and

how that prodigy has now fulfilled his potential. five down for lewis hamilton, but his race for history is farfrom hamilton, but his race for history is far from over. hamilton, but his race for history is farfrom over. andy hamilton, but his race for history is far from over. andy swiss, hamilton, but his race for history is farfrom over. andy swiss, bbc news. andy time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. a cold and frosty start or stop most places in lovely blue skies, it is not completely dry, there are some showers and this is one of them in norfolk. it will continue to be an eastern coastal counties and england and scotland will see some showers push inland. on the whole, dry weather and not much change this afternoon. for many of us the wings are quite liked as well. we may sneak a double figures if we are lucky.
