11:46 am
a draw ahead of the second leg next week. to compound united's misery, defender lisandro martinez was forced off with injury and manager erik ten hag says it's not an achilles tendon problem. i think it is not an injury, he will not play on sunday, but i can say what the diagnosis is and i would prefer to wait and then we are clear and we know exactly what it is. assistant referee constantine hatzidakis says he is "looking forward to returning to officiating" after the english football association confirmed he will face no further action for clashing with liverpool's andy robertson. hatzidakis and robertson came together at half time during liverpool's draw with arsenal last week, with the official appearing to raise his elbow to the defender. the assistant referee was stood down while an investigation took place. that has now been completed and he will face no
11:47 am
further punishment. the 38—year—old also confirmed he has apologised to robertson. new york red bulls forward dante vanzeir has been handed a six—game ban by major league soccer for using a racist remark during a match. play was stopped for 20 minutes during the red bulls�* clash with sanjose earthquakes last saturday because of the confrontation. the belgian later apologised and the club announced that he would step away to avoid "distractions". the 24—year—old will also need to to participate in additional league—mandated training and education sessions. to tennis and andrey rublev is a set up againstjan lennard struff in the quarterfinals of the monte carlo masters. later there will be a surprise all—italian affair as the world number eightjannick sinner faces lorenzo musetti. the 21—year—old shocked world number one novak djokovic in their last 16 tie on thursday to set up the encounter. djokovic won the first set and had looked in control, but lost the next
11:48 am
two sets to the 16 seed. after his defeat, djokovic laid out his frustrations in a press conference. the feeling is terrible, after playing like this. congratulations to him, he stayed tough on the important moments, and that is it. that is all i can say. good luck to him. the feeling is bad right now because i lost the match right now. congratulations to my opponent. not a great day for me so i'm not really in the mood to speak. world number three daniil medvedev came through a late night thriller against alexander zverev, he was a set down and saved two match points before winning in three sets. he faces danish sixth seed holger rune later. rafael nadal�*s preparations for the french open have taken a fresh blow. the 22—time grand slam winner
11:49 am
withdrawing from the barcelona open next week. nadal hasn't played since losing in the second round of the australian open due to a hip injury, and on twitter said that he was still "not ready" to play at full fitness. this latest setback means he will not be back in action until late april at the earliest. the french open begins at roland garros on may 28th. at the qualifiers in the billiejean king cup, great britain's women are preparing to take on france in coventry this afternoon. the squad will be without emma raducanu though, who is unavailable for the best—of—five qualifier as she continues to manage her schedule. it means katie boulter will take on world number five caroline garcia in the opening rubber before harriet dart faces alize cornet in the second match. great britain reached the semi finals last year. that's all the sport for now. north korea has described its latest weapons test that took place on thursday as a major step in its ability
11:50 am
to carry out nuclear strikes. pyongyang said that for the first time it had successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic device that used solid fuel. our correspondent in south korea jean mackenzie told us about the significance of this latest missile test. it is a major breakthrough in north korea's nuclear weapons programme. it is a more advanced version of its long range missile, so the sort that is intended to target the united states. the solid fueled bit, it is a technical detail, but it's an important one, solid fueled missiles don't need to be fueled ahead of launch. this means that they can be launched far more quickly in a crisis and with much less warning. this makes it harder to intercept them, harder to shoot them down. now, with north korea having the ability to target the united states with next to no warning, that makes it a lot more dangerous and, crucially, it also gives it a lot more leverage. the bigger picture to this is that north korea is making
11:51 am
rapid progress in terms of its nuclear weapons programme. a couple of years ago, kim jong—un set out a list of the weapons that he wanted to develop over the next five years residents in fort lauderdale in florida have witnessed the rainest day in the city's history with 25 inches of rainfall in a 24—hour period. a state of emergency has been issued for the entire county. severe flooding prompted emergency rescues, closed the airport, and forced drivers to abandon cars. gel manicures are one of the most popular beauty treatments, but dermatologists say they're causing some people to develop life—changing allergies. the reaction happens when chemicals from the polish come into contact with the skin. niki cardwell reports. when laura davis�* nails started lifting off her fingers, she posted the footage on tiktok. it's really horrible looking back at it now. it was like blood vessels bursting underneath the nails. i was embarrassed, really
11:52 am
embarrassed about them. some of them i'd had to trim them right down to, like, half the length. it had a really negative impact on, like, how i felt. i thought people would look at me and think i was dirty. the damage to laura's nails and fingers was caused by an allergy to the gel nail polish that she'd been using at home. the british association of dermatologists first warned that gels were causing allergies in 2018. dr deirdre buckley is a consultant dermatologist and co—author of that report. she says they're now seeing a big increase in cases. i and all of my colleagues who work in cutaneous allergy are seeing patients most weeks with this problem. it can range from the nails loosening to falling off. it can include a severe rash on the face, the neck, the upper chest, which is mysterious. the consequences are severe. in worst cases, there can be respiratory symptoms. these issues are being caused by acrylates, a group of chemicals that form the basis of all plastics. when solid, they're harmless,

but in their liquid form, can be absorbed into the body. once someone becomes allergic to them it can stop them from having future medical procedures. they become sensitised to acrylics in other things, which can have implications for dentistry or if they're diabetic or for orthopedic surgery, and it's a lifelong sensitisation. gel products differ from regular nail varnishes as they need to be cured to dry. the rise in allergies to some gel polishes is giving some in the industry cause for concern. suzanne clayton has been a nail technician for 20 years. she set up a facebook group when she and some of her colleagues had clients who developed allergies. four years ago, when i started the group, nobody knew. you know, like i said, i hadn't seen reactions, but neither had other nail techs either. itjust wasn't a common thing. so now it's just growing and growing. ijust want brands, if they can do something to help us figure out why it's happening and prevent it happening to someone else, then let's all work together.
11:54 am
industry experts want better enforcement of existing regulations and clearer labelling of ingredients. some of the imports that we have into this country don't always provide the correct information. we have lots of regulations connected with this industry, but the problem is with the enforcement. and this is the advice from the federation of nail professionals on how to get a safe gel manicure. one of the most recognised allergens is an ingredient called hema. to be safer, find somebody that uses a brand that is hema—free, and there are plenty of them now, and if possible, hypoallergenic. niki cardwell, bbc news. junior doctors in england are striking for a fourth day over pay. around 10,000 nhsjunior doctors are on their last day of a four—day strike as they claim there has been a 26% real—terms pay cut since 2009.
11:55 am
the government said the demands of the british medical association union would amount to a 35% pay rise. the uk's finance minister, the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, says giving in to big pay demands would be a "terrible mista ke". mr hunt is in washington for the world bank and imf spring meetings. the one thing we won't do because it would be a terrible mistake is to agree to an inflationary pay rise. that means that we're still talking about inflation in a year's time. if we stick to the plan, we'll bring inflation down to below 3% this year, and then we'll put these pressures behind us and i think that's what the british people want the government to do. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise. good morning. it's going to be another day dominated by sunny spells and sharp and thundery downpours
11:56 am
for many of us. so if you have seen some early morning sunshine, i hope you managed to get out and enjoy it a little. it does become quite messy as we go through the day. we had a line of more heavy, persistent rain from these weather fronts that are slipping their way south and east over into france. the heaviest of the rain across south—west england and south wales over the last few hours and as it pushes its way down through the channel islands we'll see a fair amount of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain almost anywhere across the channel coast. at the same time, we'll see a line of more heavy, thundery downpours developing across wales, up through the midlands, into eastern england through the afternoon. some of these really quite torrential and quite widespread. for northern ireland and scotland, it's not quite as severe — sunny spells and a few isolated showers as we go through the day. top temperatures of nine to 12 degrees across scotland and northern ireland. highest values of maybe ten to 13 across england and wales. we'll see a spell of heavy rain moving its way through eastern england overnight. clearer skies out to the west, so a real contrast with the feel of the weather first thing
11:57 am
on saturday morning. low single figures, frost not out of the question in sheltered rural parts, but where that rain is, well, that's where we're likely to see the temperatures holding up. so, on the whole, it's an improving picture as we go through the weekend. finally, we're going to lose the frequent showers and we're going to import a southerly flow, so milder air will start to push in and temperatures slightly above where they should be for the time of year. early rain will clear away through eastern england. cloudy skies for a time, but the sunshine, the best of it, out to the west. it will be a pleasant afternoon for many of us, largely fine and dry. any showers will become fairly isolated. top temperatures likely between ten and 16 degrees — that's 61 fahrenheit. as we move into sunday that dry weather story set to continue. we could see a little more in the way of cloud, particularly up into the far north—west and thick enough maybe for a spot or two of drizzle, but on the whole dry, settled, pleasantly warm and certainly better than it has been over the last few days.
11:58 am
that trend is set to continue through the week ahead. an easterly wind mightjust prevent those temperatures from climbing too high, but nevertheless, settled and pleasant.

live from london. this is bbc news. a 21—year—old man is expected to appear in a boston court later over a major leak of classified us documents. protests in france — as the highest legal body will decide whether president macron�*s pension reforms can become law. president biden concludes his visit to ireland by returning to his roots in county mayo. hello, i'm sarah campbell. a us air national guardsman is being questioned, after being arrested by fbi officers investigating the leaking of classified documents. jack teixeira, who's just 21, is expected to appear in court in boston later. the leaked material first appeared on an online chat forum,
