from the royal academy in london our arts editor will gompertz reports. the show starts by setting the scene. we meet the main protagonist, charles i, king of england, scotland and ireland from 1625—1619. he had a great eye for art, as did his mrs, henrietta maria. both portraits were painted by this fella, the flemish artist anthony van dyck, who charles i hired as his court painter, or what we'd call nowadays as his artist in residence. he has two main focuses for his collection. that's mantegna's triumphs of caesar, by the way. his first passion was for german, flemish and dutch artists of the northern renaissance, hence we have this wonderwall of hans holbein portraits, at the end of which is this absolute cracker of robert cheeseman, the royal falconer. his other great love was the artists of the italian high renaissance, people like pisano and here, people like tintoretto, who painted this dramatic, biblical scene. injust two decades, charles and henrietta amassed an art collection to rival any court

in europe, but it all came to a very abrupt end when charles has his head chopped off and oliver cromwell flogs the lot. the collection was scattered to the four winds, which is the point of this exhibition. the royal academy is uniting, for the first time since 1649, as many of those famous artworks as it possibly can, including this hunting portrait of charles i, which is now owned by the louvre. in a way, this exhibition is a tragedy, a story of what could have been. great masterpieces which were once owned by this country but are now owned by others. take this wall of titians, for example. the one on the left now belongs to the prado in madrid and the other two are the louvre‘s in paris. still, that's the nature of things, i suppose. but this exhibition does make you wonder... what if charles i hadn't lost his head and continued to collect at the same sort of rate? britain would own, surely, the greatest collection of renaissance art in the world. mind you, he probably would have bankru pted the country.

will gompertz, bbc news, the royal academy. that's it from us on bbc one. hello and welcome to sportsday. coming up: edmund says he has caught the bug after his williams run in melbourne. not on the shortist and forced to apologise for sexists tweets — why phil neville was the fa's leading candidate for the england women's job. he fitted to a tee what i had been looking for, and the moment that i spoke to him, i was really sure from that first moment that he was the right man for the job. jose mourinho signs a new deal, keeping him at man united. from east yorkshire to melbourne.

kyle edmund, in every sense, has come a long way. his arrival so soon has been a surprise for some. now, could his extraordinary journey continue? well, to go further, edmund would have to stand his ground against marin cilic. that is anything but easy. the travails of this tournament seemingly now taking their toll, edmund was outplayed from the start. the first set lost, there was to be a little encouragement, first from his coach and then from frustration. a disputed line call, a lengthy row and for a moment, it seemed like the spark edmund needed. that took him towards a tie—break. but once again, the challenge

of cilic was proving all too much. having come so far, for edmund, there was no coming back. the croatian was at times quite brilliant. the young brit's journey was at an end, but everything suggests there is plenty still ahead. did not get my best out on court, but so many positives i think override the whole two weeks. i have to focus on that and be pleased with what i've done. watching it this morning by sue barker and john lloyd. i asked them ifa hip barker and john lloyd. i asked them if a hip injury might have hampered his chances. he really needed to be 100% to challenge against marin cilic. his opponent can move all over the place,

and when your movement is hampered, and you can't get your shots, i'm afraid the writing is on the wall fairly early on. he had it at any second set, but he was not able to do that. maybe he would have got back in it, but cilic was the better player, today. nerves as well, john. with the scale of the occasion getting to him a bit at the start of the match? maybe, but i think he handled it well. i don't think he was overwrought about being on the stadium court in this semifinals, but i think it was one match too many for him. i think the two week build—up — you have got to get used to that in grand slams. that second week, playing five set matches in those conditions. i thought he did remarkably well. i think he proved a lot to himself. we have been watching him for many years. he was very quiet and shy, but he has got a presence on the court now.

he was not scared to have a word with the vampire. i was really impressed —— with the umpire. i was really impressed with how he has come out of his shell. i think he will have a really good career. astonishing to think that if he had won, he would have become the british number one. that shows how far he has come, and guess how far andy has fallen the light of his injury. how close is he to shifting balance of power in the british men's it'll be interesting. if andy comes back, you'll be shooting up the rankings, no question about that. but, for him now, being ranked around 25 or whatever it will be, on monday, it will mean getting into bigger tournaments, which means more points, getting seated at the grand slams, which protects him from meeting the big names until later on. he will be accumulating a lot of points, so here's an upward scale at the moment, but i do feel, andy is a different class. that was sue barker and john lloyd speaking to the

earlier. federer looking for a 20th grand slam title tomorrow, first he must ove i’co m e slam title tomorrow, first he must overcome the highly rated south korean. i'm very excited to play chandler. i thought he played an incredible match against novak djokovic. to beat him here is one of the top things to do in our sport. i know novak was maybe not at 110% but he was all right, he was giving fight till the end. that was mighty impressive. british interest doesn't end there though with alfie hewett and gordon reid into the final of the men's wheelchair doubles. after they beat gustavo fernandez of argentina and shingo kunieda ofjapan 6—1,4—6,10—6, in the decisive tie break. they will now face the french second

seeds stephane houdet and nicolas peifer in friday's final. they are the reigning wimbledon and us open champions. the women's trophy will have a new champion — because neither simona halep or caroline wozniaki have won a slam before. halep reached her third grand slam final following a thrilling win against the 2016 champion angelique kerber — wining the decider 9—7. i tried to be very calm, but today was like a roller—coaster, up and down. but i didn't give up. that is what matters. if you don't give up, you can win the match in the end. so i did itand i am proud of myself. denmark's caroline wozniaki overcame a late bout of nerves to beat unseeded belgian elise mertens and reach her first australian open final. the seeded second, saw off the world number 37, 6—3 7—6 to reach her third majorfinal.

jose mourinho has committed his future to manchester united after signing a contract extension until 2020. he's been preparaing his team for their fa cup fourth round tie with yeovil tomorrow night. and facing the media today praised the deal done to bring alexis sanchez from arsenal. i got a fantastic player, and they got a fantastic player. alexis change from a fantastic club to a giant club. and mkhitaryan changed but changed also for a fantastic club, so i think it was a great deal for everybody. it's been a ratherfarciacal start

to phil neville's tenure as the new england women's manager. forced to apologise for sexist tweets, the fa have come in for serious criticism over their recruitment process. and the woman who led that baroness sue campbell today defended their appointment. he is incredibly thorough, well—planned. the beers are a good, mature group of players who know what they need and he fitted to a tee what i'd been looking for. the moment i spoke to him, i was really sure from that first moment that he

was the right man for the job. as for injury concern in the wales squad ahead of rugby union's six nations championship, news that scrum—half rhys webb is out. warren gatland has eight front—line players missing for the opening against scotland. england look to round off their series with a 5—1 whitewash. moeen ali says they are determined to make up ali says they are determined to make upfor ali says they are determined to make up for their whitewash in the ashes with winds in the odi's. this is one series we really want to whitewash. especially in australia, i don't think we have ever been 3—0 up before. after the ashes, even the one day boys are really keen to reach 5—0. that's all from sportsday.

coming up next, the papers. welcome to the papers. with me are the political commentator lance price and camilla tominey, political editor the sunday express. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with. .. the ft, the paper says the chancellor, philip hammond, has caused a fresh rift

in the conservative party by urging ‘modest‘ brexit changes. the times take on the story is that theresa may has turned on the chancellor following his remarks. the guardian reports that mrs may's leadership is under threat from the latest revolt in tory ranks over brexit. the lead in the metro is the meeting of theresa may and president trump at davos. it has a picture of the pair shaking hands. its headline says the relationship between the uk and us is "so great". the i has that same photo on its front page and reports that mr trump will come to this country, this yearfor a working trip, not state visit. the daily telegraph carries a warning by the defence secretary that russia could cause mass casualities in britain by crippling our crucial energy supplies. and so there are a variety of stories vying for top billing across a range of tomorrow's papers. let's start with the financial

times. philip hammond who is also in davos along with everybody else by the looks of it, saying he wants a soft brexit, not too much to change at all after we leave. the big ones in the cabinet cannot help themselves setting out their stall for what brexit should look like, we had borisjohnson for what brexit should look like, we had boris johnson doing for what brexit should look like, we had borisjohnson doing his thing over the weekend and getting slapped down by theresa may, now philip hammond himself getting slapped down by downing street for saying that the way he sees it is there should only be a modest economic divergence between the uk and the eu after we leave the eu. he makes the perfectly valid point in my view that the economies are currently aligned, it's not as if you were trying to bring together two economies that are very different, as was the case with the deal for canada. they are already well aligned so you only wa nt to already well aligned so you only want to diverged if it's in your interest to do so. he thinks that should be modest.
