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

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
