Horrid Weed On New Lawn

Question

Having just seeded a new lawn it has this weed rapidly taking over. The lawn is partially under large conifers and the infestation seems worse in that area. What can I safely use to kill off the weed without harming the new grass. Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
