live from london, this is bbc news. jack teixeira — the us airman accused of leaking classified pentagon documents — appears in federal court. talk to our correspondence live in a moment or two. here in the uk, a mother and father are convicted of the �*savage and brutal�* christmas day murder of their baby son. and could certain types of nail—gel be causing life—changing allergies? we'll speak to one woman who says it happened to her.
3:32 pm
welcome back to bbc news. let's return to the breaking news from boston surrounding jack teixeira. because the us intelligence officer has just appeared in federal court. he has been charged with the unauthorised removal and retention of classified documents and materials. thejudge of classified documents and materials. the judge and justice department listening to the various requests that have been made. he is going to be detained pending trial, as you would expect. those are the live pictures. jessica parker is monitoring everything. tell us a little more?— little more? just in the last few moments we — little more? just in the last few moments we have _ little more? just in the last few moments we have been -
3:33 pm
little more? just in the last fewj moments we have been getting little more? just in the last few - moments we have been getting news from the court in boston. as you have been outlining, what we have been hearing, the suspect, jack teixeira, has been charged with unauthorised removal and retention of classified documents and materials. back from a us magistrate judge. we have been told he will qualify for a public defender. it wasn't actually clear if the suspect had a lawyer and we have been told that the us justice had a lawyer and we have been told that the usjustice department has requested that he be detained pending trial. so some breaking lines out of the court this morning here in the us. it was only yesterday we got there quite dramatic pictures of an as fbi officers swooped down to arrest the 21—year—old suspect. he was just dressed in a pair of shorts and a t—shirt, arrested, as we understand it, nearthe
3:34 pm
t—shirt, arrested, as we understand it, near the family home and quickly to court this morning to face those charges. irate to court this morning to face those charaes. ~ ., , to court this morning to face those charaes. ~ . , ,., to court this morning to face those charaes. . ., , h, ., to court this morning to face those char es, . ., , ,., ., .,, charges. we are seeing some of those ictures charges. we are seeing some of those pictures now. — charges. we are seeing some of those pictures now. in _ charges. we are seeing some of those pictures now, in terms _ charges. we are seeing some of those pictures now, in terms of _ charges. we are seeing some of those pictures now, in terms of what - charges. we are seeing some of those pictures now, in terms of what you - pictures now, in terms of what you have described, but the tent again earlier talking about why someone like this, 21—year—old would have access to the sorts of documents he had, talking about a review. in terms of understatement, that takes the biscuit, doesn't it? i terms of understatement, that takes the biscuit, doesn't it?— the biscuit, doesn't it? i think the pentagon. — the biscuit, doesn't it? i think the pentagon. the — the biscuit, doesn't it? i think the pentagon, the us _ the biscuit, doesn't it? i think the pentagon, the us government - the biscuit, doesn't it? i think the i pentagon, the us government facing some very serious questions now about how the suspect may have accessed these documents, which is alleged, of course, they were posted online amongst a pretty small group of gamers from different parts of the world. eventually the documents, it is reported, escaped the smaller group and began to leak more widely. yes, we are being told the pentagon is going to review how highly secretive, highly sensitive
3:35 pm
information is distributed. but it is not as if we haven't talked about these kinds of issues before. there have been quite high profile cases in the last 15 years of leaks out of the us. i don't think it will be a question for the biden administration, for example, it will be more systemic and how this happened. the us networks being asked again and again, how could somebody who was relatively young potentially possibly have access to this kind of information if they are quitejunior in their rank this kind of information if they are quite junior in their rank as well. the 21—year—old suspect, a very young age, so lots of questions being asked. over the coming days and weeks more of these questions may be answered. but it has been an embarrassing episode for the united states, certainly. you embarrassing episode for the united states, certainly.— states, certainly. you alluded to it, but plenty — states, certainly. you alluded to it, but plenty of _ states, certainly. you alluded to it, but plenty of warnings - states, certainly. you alluded to it, but plenty of warnings with l it, but plenty of warnings with chelsea manning and edward snowden in the past. the obvious question,
3:36 pm
how something like this could happen again. but this time it is slightly different, he is not a whistle—blower, he is not a foreign agent, he is not discontent or sceptical about the us government. this appears to be a 21—year—old showing off? this appears to be a 21-year-old showing off?— this appears to be a 21-year-old showing off? that is certainly the kind of reports _ showing off? that is certainly the kind of reports we _ showing off? that is certainly the kind of reports we been - showing off? that is certainly the kind of reports we been getting l showing off? that is certainly the l kind of reports we been getting out of america in the last few days. so this suggestion the suspect, as i mentioned before, was part of an online group of gamers. they took part in a number of activities together, including playing games, watching films and suggestions have been from friends on that group and reports in the us, that may be the suspect was almost trying to impress the other young men on this group. so no suggestion really at the moment of some sophisticated foreign
3:37 pm
agent operation. so again, yes, that does raise questions and it does cause some embarrassment for the us government here. and as you say, different to some of the cases we have seen in the past, which may have seen in the past, which may have been more along the lines of deliberate whistle—blowing. so this looks potentially rather different in terms of the allegations we are hearing at the moment. it was really highlighted yesterday when you saw the pictures of the fbi agents arresting the 21—year—old suspect. just this young guy in shorts and a t—shirt. i think that has been a marked difference, but it still goes back to that essential issue of how is this information, which doesn't just have implications for the united states, of course, it has implications for the united states allies, how has this information being distributed, who has access to it and how closely is it being guarded?— it and how closely is it being guarded?
3:38 pm
it and how closely is it being uuarded? , ., ., ., guarded? yes, whatever the motion in terms of this — guarded? yes, whatever the motion in terms of this individual, _ guarded? yes, whatever the motion in terms of this individual, damage - guarded? yes, whatever the motion in terms of this individual, damage has l terms of this individual, damage has been done. we were talking to frank gardner earlier about the details of the war in ukraine's surrounding us allies, so the damages out there. however, whatever the intentions were in terms of why this transpired, he has appeared in federal court in boston. we were looking at those pictures, the charges have been laid. he is not going to be released before trial, he has been allocated a public defender. those are the only detail so far that is emerging from what looks like a pretty brief court appearance. but those are the pictures coming from outside the court building in boston. more on that story, more on thejoe biden visit in ireland in a moment or two. let's round up the sports news of the day. what do you have for us? hello from the bbc sport centre.
3:39 pm
liverpool managerjurgen klopp has compared talk of big—money transfers with a five—year—old asking for a ferrari for christmas. the reds have ruled themselves out of signing 19 year—old england midfielderjude bellingham from borussia dortmund due to the costs involved in excess of £100m. the german boss is expected to rebuild the squad in the summer — as liverpool are currently 8th in the table. you have to realise what you can do and then you have to work with it. how much money do we have available and then we have to work with it. that is the job we have to do, we are not children. asking a five—year—old christmas, what do you want for christmas? and then they said, i want a ferrari. want for christmas? and then they said, iwanta ferrari. even want for christmas? and then they said, i want a ferrari. even so, thatis said, i want a ferrari. even so, that is a good idea. he would say, know it is too expensive and you can't drive it. this kid spends his whole life unhappy because he cannot get a ferrari, it will be a sad life. it is a case of what can you do and then you do it and you work
3:40 pm
with that. thomas tuchel has said bayern munich will �*not tolerate�* the �*heavy situation�* with sadio mane who is alleged to have punched team—mate leroy sane after their 3—0 loss midweek to manchester city in the champions league. mane has been suspended by the club for their match tomorrow against hoffenheim and fined by bayern munich for �*misconduct. the 49—year—old manager added it was important to have the situation resolved before the next training session — and he has spoken to the senegalese forward about his misconduct. translation: i am his first lawyer and his first — translation: i am his first lawyer and his first defender. _ translation: i am his first lawyer and his first defender. i _ translation: i am his first lawyer and his first defender. i know- translation: i am his first lawyer and his first defender. i know him l and his first defender. i know him for so long, i know his first environment. i know him exclusively as a top professional. i also know his environment, as i said. he has never, never done anything wrong. he is pure football, he has my complete trust, which he had before and which he still has, after the mistake he
3:41 pm
made. rafael nadal�*s preparations for the french open have taken a fresh blow, the 22—time grand slam winner 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 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. american taylor fritz is through to his first monte carlo masters semi final — after a shock victory over two time reigning champion, stefanos tsitsipas in straight sets. the eight seed was on top form, winning the opening four games on his way to take the first set 6—2. tsitsipas, who was on a 12 match winning streak at the event — put up more of a fight in the second but in the end fritz closed out the second set 6—4 to become the first american to reach the semi—finals in monte carlo since 2003.
3:42 pm
and the 25—year—old american�*s opponent in the last four will be the world number six, andrey rublev. the russian powered past qualifier jan lennard struff in an hour and a0 taking the match 6—1, 7—6. it�*s his 16th tour level win of the season. great britain and france are facing off in coventry for a place in the billiejean king cup finals later this year — the opening match between gb�*s katie boulter and france�*s caroline garcia is under way, with boulter surprisingly taking the first set 7—6 after a tiebreak. there are 149 places between the pair, boulter the world number 154 and garcia the world number five. and that�*s all the sport for now. the us presidentjoe biden
3:43 pm
is returning to his family�*s ancestral home in county mayo on the final day of his visit to ireland. he disembarked from air force one in knock airport within the last hour. thousands of people are expected to turn out in the town of ballina — where mr biden�*s relative patrick blewitt was born in the 19th century. the highlight will be a public address at the cathedral there. the pictures here are from the shrine in knock. a little later, he will go to a hospice. that is a closed session without the press and then the president heads to the north mayo heritage and genealogical centre, where family history research is done. i know the
3:44 pm
president is so enthusiastic about tracing all of his distant relatives. i am sure he will be fascinated with all of that because when he was here in 2016, the family i was mentioning earlier, he visited and contact with them. but there are the pictures from knock, from the last little while. the latest stop in the president�*s tawk, the last day of that tour. and over the last four days, there have been an avalanche of fantastic pictures from the president�*s trip to ireland. if you have missed them, i want to show you have missed them, i want to show you just a few that we have pulled out. we are going to start from a couple of days ago. this probably, i would guess, is the shot you will see in the years to come that will be played out and remembered. this outside of a pub in dundalk, where
3:45 pm
his great—great—grandfather can he talk so much about to those distant relatives have come from these counties. the us president was greeted by a crowd of 5000 people as he visited the town. look at that, throwing himself into the crowds. you have seen him at his most enthusiastic, plenty of politics and pumped through the course of the trip, but these are the moments that you can really see him relishing shaking hands inside marketeer�*s in dundalk. and the pump i refer to, this is him with the irish president signing the visitor�*s book in the state rim yesterday. actually writing the famous quote from an irish proverb, yourfeet will writing the famous quote from an irish proverb, your feet will bring you wear your heart is. that is what the president wrote in that book for
3:46 pm
visitors. a little earlier he visited carlingford castle and if you then rewind a little earlier in this four—day trip, that speech he made to all of those young people and students at ulster university to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. so many of his comments aimed at them. of course, squeezed into all of that... look at that, exactly like in the south, the president so entering, especially talking to young people. so many of his comments were echoes of what they have successfully done 25 years ago and how they needed to remember, notjust take piece for granted and to propel and take on the challenges that still remain. of course, one of those challenges with the british prime minister rishi sunak, how you get power—sharing backin
3:47 pm
sunak, how you get power—sharing back in northern ireland. but the key strand of those discussions around the politics of that trip. i willjust finish where we started when i was talking about the trip in county mayo. he is due to visit and do the speech outside the cathedral there in ballina, where his distant relative supplied the bricks to that cathedral. he was paid £20 and 12 shillings and use the money to take the family across to america. so thatis the family across to america. so that is the very clear line between everything that happened in county mayo and of course, the germs, the seeds of the biden family in the united states. so many more pictures on that story on the programme in a little while. let�*s turn to a surprising story that has made the headlines in the uk. dermatologists says they�*re seeing more and more people
3:48 pm
with life—changing allergies that have been triggered by some gel nail polishes. chemicals can leach into the skin causing adverse reactions. it means some people can then no longer have medical treatments like cataract removal, joint replacement or dental work — which use the same chemical compounds. lisa prince is among those who has had a severe allergic reaction to gel nail polish. welcome to the programme, let me start with the reaction you had. tell people who are watching, what actually happened to you, where did you get this reaction? 50 it you get this reaction? so it basically — you get this reaction? so it basically started _ you get this reaction? so it basically started because l you get this reaction? so it basically started because i | you get this reaction? sr it basically started because i wasn't basically started because i wasn�*t trained in using the products when i initially bought the products. that was the big mistake. unfortunately we are able to purchase diy kits online and those diy kits are not safe to use if you are not trained. some of those diy kits have been
3:49 pm
manufactured outside the eu, which also means they are not regulated and they have dangerous amounts of chemicals that can cause allergens. before you get to all of that and those of the obvious areas that people are now focused on, tell me what happened to you. where, for example, did you get the reaction? i have been seeing and hearing accounts where sometimes it is in completely different parts of the body, we expect it on the hands, but sometimes it is on the face and on the back, what happened to you? because of the process, the chemicals of the gels, when you are filing that product off you are basically putting the dust into the air. although you can use very good ventilation system, it will still get onto the skin. you don�*tjust get onto the skin. you don�*tjust get a reaction on the nails, or your
3:50 pm
hands, it will also get onto your face. when it was covid, because nail technicians wear masks, to protect the lungs, we are constantly touching the face. so any interaction with the products to the skin will cause a reaction. tell interaction with the products to the skin will cause a reaction.— skin will cause a reaction. tell me more about _ skin will cause a reaction. tell me more about the _ skin will cause a reaction. tell me more about the lasting _ skin will cause a reaction. tell me more about the lasting impact - more about the lasting impact that has had a new, is the lasting impact? i has had a new, is the lasting im act? ., , has had a new, is the lasting im act? . , ., ., impact? i have been told that i cannot have — impact? i have been told that i cannot have any _ impact? i have been told that i cannot have any dental- impact? i have been told that i - cannot have any dental treatment. due to the severity of the chemicals i am now allergic to. i am unable to get any cataract operations if i need them in the future, i cannot have hip or knee replacements. i am allergic to plasters. it goes on and on in different areas what i am not allowed to do now. just on in different areas what i am not allowed to do now.— allowed to do now. just a final

3:54 pm
with next to no notice, that makes it more dangerous and crucially it also gives it a lot more leveraged. the bigger picture to this is that north korea is making 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 and he is burning through that list at an alarming speed. a speed that is concerning weapons experts here in seoul and in washington. the big question is, why does kim jong—un want all these weapons? there are some experts that believe that what he�*s trying to do is to build north korea�*s programme to such an extent that the international community has no choice but to accept north korea as a fully fledged nuclear weapons state, much as it has done with india and pakistan. but there are others who say that kim jong—un does still want to negotiate and what he is trying to do is build up his stockpile to such a degree and to increase the threat so that
3:55 pm
when he�*s ready to talk, he has more to negotiate away. but whatever the answer to this question, with each of these new missiles that north korea develops, each seemingly more sophisticated than the last, north korea is becoming more of a threat and when it gets to the point that north korea can successfully target the us and targets closer to home, so here in south korea, with little to no warning, then these countries are going to have to really think how they defend against north korea and how they deal with north korea. towns on australia�*s northwestern coast appear to have avoided major damage from a storm that�*s moving inland. cyclone ilsa made landfall in the town of port hedland last night, but avoided the most populated areas. it�*s the most powerful to hit the region in over a decade. our correspondent in sydney, phil mercer, gave us this update. well, this was the first category five cyclone — that�*s as severe as it gets in the current grading system — to cross western australia�*s
3:56 pm
coastline since 2009. so this clearly is the most powerful tropical storm to hit that part of the country in well over a decade. now, a record wind speed was also recorded. so this was a tropical storm that was packing an almighty punch, but, mercifully, it avoided the most populated towns and communities in that part of the north—western coast of western australia. if you look at a map of australia, about a third of the continent is covered by the state of western australia. so the area we�*re talking about is towards the north—western tip of western australia, and this cyclone is now tracking inland. it�*s now been downgraded to a category two storm, but it�*s still a huge danger to those communities in its path, raising the risk of those destructive winds causing more damage and flash flooding in those areas as well.
3:57 pm
stay with us in the next hour. we are live in washington and paris and also live in the republic of ireland. all that on bbc news. hello, there. for scotland and northern ireland we�*re seeing a mixture of sunshine, but also some rather sharp showers. there�*s not much sunshine, though, for england and wales, where low pressure is certainly the dominant feature of the weather. around that area of low pressure and weather fronts we�*re seeing thickening cloud and also some rain, which is keeping it on the cold side yet again. these are the temperatures late on in the afternoon, so in that rain perhaps no higher than nine degrees, so really quite chilly out there. we�*ve got the rain mainly across england and wales, with those heavier showers in scotland and northern ireland. those showers will fade away, but the rain continues across eastern parts of england right the way through the night, but we�*ll get clearer skies across wales, western england and particularly in northern ireland, where temperatures were as low as minus—four last night and we could see similarly low temperatures tonight. a frost potentially across other
3:58 pm
western areas of the uk. heading into the weekend, though, we should see the cloud breaking for a while at least to give some sunshine and those temperatures are slowly lifting, but we start the weekend with cloud across eastern england. still some patchy rain around, as well. the cloud and the rain should thin out, the sunshine come through, but that will trigger some sharp showers across eastern england and maybe even into south—eastern parts of scotland. many western areas, though, will be dry. there will be plenty of sunshine around and those temperatures will be higher than today, but still no better than probably 14 or 15 degrees in northern ireland. it does cloud over later on in the day and there could be a few spots of rain into the evening and overnight. that weakening weather front is trying to come in from the atlantic, but, at the same time, pressure is building, so it�*s tending to kill off that weatherfront, if you like. there�*s not much rain left at all by sunday, but there is more cloud around and across some eastern parts of england there could be some early morning mist and fog patches. the winds light for england and wales, a little brisker for northern ireland and western parts of scotland. it�*s a southerly breeze on sunday, so those temperatures just
3:59 pm
continuing to rise just a little bit, up to around 16 degrees at best. that�*s near or slightly above average. at one point it looked like into early next week temperatures could get around 20 degrees or more. we�*ve still got high pressure building down from scandinavia, keeping it dry, but around that area of high pressure we�*ve got more of an easterly wind, so temperatures not expected to be quite so high, but certainly an improvement on what we�*ve seen over the past few days. over the week ahead there�*s a lot of dry weather with some sunshine at times.
4:00 pm
live from london, this is bbc news. charged with espionage, jack teixeira, the us airman accused of leaking classified pentagon documents, appears in court. decision day in france — the country�*s highest legal body will announce whether president macron�*s pension reforms can become law. one last stop on president biden�*s visit to ireland — as he touches down in county mayo. and — liftoff — the european space agency launches the satellite that will look for life on jupiter�*s moons.
