blip. there have been heated discussions at the united nations. we are hearing that britain, france, and the united states are pushing for a vote in the un on the issue of the chemical attack in syria. that is at some point in the next few hours. the un discussing events in syria. britain, france, and the us pushing for a vote on events in syria in the next few hours. we can show you pictures from florida, no sign ofany show you pictures from florida, no sign of any significant arrival, as yet. you can see preparations on the tarmac for the arrival of the chinese president xijinping. i'm told that a plane from china has landed in the last few moments. it's reasonable to assume that given the people lined up to meet the occupant of it that it's reasonable to assume the chinese president is among those on board. it takes a little while for a plane to arrive at the designated point where the actual president will appear. we do know that president trump is en route to florida. you will have seen that playing, if you were watching earlier, you will have seen that plainly washington en route to miami. when both men have arrived, their meeting will begin with a banquet later

see the formalities when the chinese president appears. now, in the meantime, it's time for sports day. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines tonight — dustinjohnson will play at the masters. despite injuring his back in a fall at his rented apartment last night. the world number one is due to tee off at augusta in around half an hour's time. despite her own fall at cheltenham just three weeks ago lizzie kelly rides tea for two to victory in the big race on day one of the grand national festival at aintree. and they might usually be team mates. but there's no time for niceties in the ipl where two of england's biggest stars go head to head. and ben stokes is hit back over his head byjos buttler. hello again. we'll start at augusta where dustinjohnson will take part in the masters after recovering — enough at least — from a back injury. let's cross live to the course now and join hazel irvine for the latest on that. and who's had a good start to the tournament. it's been a very emotional and poignant start to the masters, it all began just about eight o'clock oui’ all began just about eight o'clock ourtime, all began just about eight o'clock our time, jack nicholas and gary player hit the first shot in front of the memory of arnold palmer. drama with dustinjohnson who fell last night and he has been warming up last night and he has been warming up gingerly. he is wearing a heat pad. he's got anti—inflammatories and he has been icing the muscle in the lower back. he is going to start. his tea—time is three minutes past seven. in the meantime, this is what has been happening. quite a few in contention. it looks positive from the european perspective. justin rose, matthew fitzpatrick, thomas pieters, all in the co—lead. in fact, thomas pieters was five under through ten and then came to grief around amen corner. very positive from a european standpoint but still rather uncertain from the point of view of the world number one, ken brown. it's going to be interesting. his early warm up shots we re interesting. his early warm up shots were floating wedges. he wasn't putting much into them. he chatted to his physio and is warming up with a few longer clubs now. it looks like he is going to go but it was all a bit gingerly. the bookmakers have downgraded his status as favourite and have installed jordan spieth as hot favourites with rory mcilroy just below him. spieth as hot favourites with rory mcilroyjust below him. rory is just a few minutes from teeing off. many people are saying that a wet golf course, very damp, it's been raining, this could suit him. remember his us open win six years ago. certainly it will help his length. this course plays very long into the breeze. it is extremely gusty. suddenly, a large buffet of wind can move it up to 40 miles an hour. if anyone shoots 69 or better, i have my doubts. it is very tough out there. one of the toughest opening days we've seen for a very long time. you will be able to see the opening day's play in our highlights. that will be in tomorrow evening at 7pm. but we have live coverage as well. 5live from 9pm tonight. sports extra from 10. intriguing possibilities to date. it is looking good for europe so far. jockey katie walsh will miss the grand national on satudray after breaking her arm on day one of the fesitval at aintree. she fell in the foxhunters' chase after being unseated from her mount distime at the famous chair fence. she was due to ride wonderful charm in the national. meanwhile following her own fall at the cheltenham gold cup three weeks ago. lizzie kelly has won the big race of the day... the betway bowl... on tea for two. they had to battle for it. the two to one favourite cue card pushing them all the way to the finish line but tea for two came out on top. now this year marks 40 since the last time red rum won the grand national. today the aintree course has opened a memorabilia tent to the race's most famous horse. stuart pollitt looks back to that day four decades ago. by by 1977 red rum had already won the national twice and come third on two occasions. this was the time he sealed his history. riding that day was tommy stack. here into prairie his family trains 60 horses. was tommy stack. here into prairie his family trains 60 horsesm looks a long time ago now. it was 40 yea rs. looks a long time

win on board. you could hear the crowd and everything else. it was unreal. 40 years since red rum ran down here for the final time but the impact this horse made an this course and this city lives on. when i point to the statue, i say this is the horse to thank for aintree's existence. every week, i get a letter in for somebody to sign photographs of red rum. even last week i got one from new zealand. there will never be a house like him again. —— horse. there will never be a house like him again. -- horse. a lot of people think he is a part of them. very special. red rum is buried behind

currently a the crease. looking good. thanks to shots like that. manchester united forward jesse lingard has signed a new contract that'll keep him at old trafford for another four years. the england international has been at the club since he was seven years old. and the deal could be worth up to 100 thousand pounds a week. meanwhile former manchester united midfielder ryan giggs has backed jose mourinho to bring success back to old trafford. despite the club being sixth in the premier league. united have hired three managers since sir alex ferguson left the club in 2013. and giggs says mourinho will need more time at the club to build a title winning team. only one team can win the premier league and it's a difficult week to win. as you see, leicester last year, chelsea this year, it's a difficult league. i think, manchester united, they won the fa cup last year, they've already won a trophy this year. they are in a good position to win the europa league. but it's a disaster. that's the standard. in everyone's dies it's a disaster. for me, not so much. you wa nt disaster. for me, not so much. you want stability. we have a good manager in jose mourinho want stability. we have a good manager injose mourinho and it may ta ke manager injose mourinho and it may take time. referee keith stroud has been dropped from his scheduled league one match this weekend while his mistake in newcastle's match against burton last night is reviewed. players from both sides encroached into the area as newcastle were taking a penalty. which was converted by matt ritchie. stroud wrongly awarded burton a free—kick. instead of ordering ritchie to retake the spot kick. much to the bemusement of players. manager rafa benitez and 49,000 newcastle fans. ritchie did eventually get on the scoresheet though. his second—half goal giving newcastle a 1—0 win which keeps them top of the championship. you have seen the incident. you have a lot of tv, radio and newspapers analysing what is going on. after talking to the referee, obviously, we know what he thinks. i will not keep talking about that because we have plenty of time. for me, it was an important game. we had to get three points to win. it was a fantastic goal from richie and a great performance of the players. elsewhere in football today — chelsea striker diego costa will not face any retrospective action after appearing to kick out at manchester city captain vincent kompany in last night's match at stamford bridge there had been suggestions that the spaniard could face a ban. but referee mike dean did actually see the incident so the case can't be dealt with any further. a threatened strike by the republic of ireland women's team has been averted. after talks with the fai were successful. the players had claimed they weren't being treated properly and threatened not to train if demands for compensation whilst on international duty and improved support weren't met. watford will pay tribute

for the tie in the absence of andy murray will face jeremy chardy in the reverse singles. there's coverage of the tie in rouen across the bbc. we area we are a tough team and will come pete very hard and it is possible. jeremy chardy plays well on clay. it is his favourite surface. because of the withdrawals, it's led to it being perhaps a little bit closer than people thought.
