look at the paintings, it's you look at the paintings, it's another face. wherever you look you see the same shock of blonde hair, the same profile. here she is again. the same hair, the same profile. we're not looking at picasso's wife here though, this is marie—theres walter. this is her granddaughter, diana. two generations may have passed, but i think you can probably see a certain family likeness. what i think of, it as a granddaughter, when i walk in an exhibition like this, is that it's not a great artist it's a an accounter. she is everywhere. an obsession. picasso was approaching 50 when the affair began. marie—therese was a teenager. she was very young when she met picasso. i7. she was very young when she met
10:31 pm
picasso. 17. she was 17-and-a-half! and she's accepting the idea to see him again the following day. so she was young, but she was also adventurous. if a relationship can bring you to an extraordinary level of life experience, i could never judge that. these days we've grown used to this new way of seeing. a marie. —therese picasso can go for £100 million. that is the art market. this is the story of the man and the women behind the paintings. david sillito, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here's kirsty wark. tonight, as a former russian double agent and his daughter remain critically ill in hospital, our diplomatic editor has the latest on his condition. join me now on bbc two. that's newsnight with kirsty. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, will perry. liverpool are the first british team through to the last eight

10:33 pm
in the air, the result had been long settled. a 5—0 away win in the champions league, no catches, but no changes. sadio mane came closest to adding airto changes. sadio mane came closest to adding air to liverpool's cushion in the first half. unlucky but not important, there was a lack of energy and it was until the final minutes for liverpool to seriously work 36—year—old cassius, perhaps a less safe and amazing champions league career. at the end of a less amazing match. but liverpool earned the right to make it boring. for higher stakes in paris, a giant reminder that the trophy is the target for psg as it is for real madrid. jobs may depend on it. madrid. jobs may depend on it. madrid led 3—1 from the first leg and went to ream benzema went clear, it might have been four and the game on. the present illumination was contained to the stands and real madrid accelerated towards the red lights, rusty on ronaldo provided
10:34 pm
the spark in the smoke. psg lost in their own fog. it got sick when migratory‘s frustrations cost him a second yellow card for dissent. his side had already lost the ultimate but did get a goal when edinson kobane scored somewhat accidentally. there was little prospect of a chase, less than ten bits later, casemiro made it 5—2, not goal of the season or performs a season, but real intend on saving that for later. —— performance of the season. england's women play their final match of the shebelieves cup against the world champions, the usa, tomorrow knowing that a point will win them the tournament. new manager phil neville says the team's recent performances show that the players trust him. we have tried to block out this game because it was a we try to focus on france and germany and leave it. but everybody wa nts to germany and leave it. but everybody wants to play. i named the team this morning and i spoke to a couple of players who are not playing and it
10:35 pm
was difficult, the most difficult thing i have done because ultimately, they want to play in this game. but what i said to the players that are not involved is that the other day, i made six substitutions and everyone made a difference and improved us and i will do the same in the second half, 01’ will do the same in the second half, orfirst half against will do the same in the second half, or first half against the usa. they area team or first half against the usa. they are a team that plays really aggressively. and they press high and they try and get the ball from you in your defensive third. so they are straight onto the back four and the two wide players are direct and they play inside so we have to really defend well. it is a big game tomorrow and i think the full—back players play well, we could win the game. russia remains suspended from international athletics, and the sport's governing body says it could permanently exclude the country if key doping reforms aren't met soon. the iaaf first banned russia in november 2015 over evidence of state—sponsored doping. iaaf chairman lord coe meanwhile insists he didn't mislead the digital, culture, media and sport select

comittee when they were trying to get to the bottom of exactly what he knew four years ago. 0ur sports news correspondent, richard conway, reports. well, the world indoor athletic championships have concluded here in birmingham and the governing body's council has ta ken birmingham and the governing body's council has taken the opportunity to have a quarterly meeting here at the council chambers in the heart of the city. we came here expecting to talk about the mp5 reported to doping in sport which we heard of yesterday involving bradley wiggins and team sky. more on that in a moment. but we also heard from lord coe and his collea g u es we also heard from lord coe and his colleagues today inside this building, about russia and its re—emergence oi’ building, about russia and its re—emergence or reintroduction into the world sporting community. the iaaf have excluded the russian athletic federation for quite a while now. neutral athletes can still compete if they can prove they are clean. but today, the iaaf increased the stakes saying russia
10:37 pm
could be banned entirely from the iaaf and neutral athletes could also be excluded. u nless be excluded. unless dramatic progress is made, and we genuinely hope it is being made, that we will have to review in oui’ made, that we will have to review in our council meeting in july made, that we will have to review in our council meeting injuly the status of the mutual competitors and the potential for the congress to decide upon the ultimate sanction, i guess, which is expulsion. but i think that is not sitting there as a threat. it is actually sitting there because we want this situation evolved. and so on to the matter of the doping in sport report. bradley wiggins's team sky had their turn yesterday and the focus today was on lord coe. mps criticised his evidence, saying it was misleading in partand evidence, saying it was misleading in part and reasonable in terms of the claims he made while speaking to them. today, lord coe responded to what mps said. it is for others to
10:38 pm
judge what we have done but it is not what i say, i think it is what we have actually achieved as a sport. so, no, our sport is not in tatters, it is extremely strong. we want exactly what that group members of parliament want, which is the eradication of drugs in sport and a road map to that. i think we have provided a road map, not just at a national level, but i think it's become a template. soa so a robust defence by lord coe of his own actions, but perhaps there is more robust action to come from the iaaf with regard to russia, all eyes on thejuly meeting where, if vladimir putin's, do not accept there was a systematic state—wide doping programme, the iaaf are threatening to exclude them entirely from their organisation. serena williams will return to the wta tour tomorrow at the indian wells tournament in the us. the fomer world number one has only played one competitve doubles match in the last 1a months, after having her first child. the 23—times grand slam winner warmed up at the new tie break tens exhibition event in new york.
10:39 pm
she went out in the semi—finals, but did beat another player on the comeback trail, marion bartoli. williams is just one major singles title short of margaret court's all—time record, but is trying to keep expectations to a minimum. yeah, it's been hard. there's been so many days, even still, that i'm like, how am i going to keep going, you know? and it's been really, really difficult. but i keep going, and i know that i might not be at my best yet, but i'm getting there. and every day is a new day, and every day, i should be getting better. and so as long as i'm moving forward — even if it's at a turtle's pace — i'm ok with that. england rugby union captain dylan hartley is a doubt for saturday's must—win six nations match against france in paris, and wing jack nowell has been ruled out for the rest of the championship. 0ur reporter, chris jones, has been with the england camp at their pennyhill park training base. well, after the defeat against scotla nd well, after the defeat against
10:40 pm
scotland at murrayfield, england desperately need to bounce back against france this weekend, but it has been far from the preparation they would have wanted. two men have been ruled out of the game this weekend while captain dylan hartley has emerged as a doubt. hartley has ca lf has emerged as a doubt. hartley has calf tightness, he will be monitored daily to see whether he can take his place in the starting 15. as for some underhill and jack nowell, they both definitely will not be involved. underhill with a toe injury means he misses at least the game impress and nowell is out for the rest of the championship after rolling and ankle. the likes of james haskell in the back row, elliot daly in the line will come back into the match day squad, but with england needing to win to resurrect their six nations hopes, eddiejones would have wanted a much smoother start the week. england cricketers can wrap up their series against new zealand this evening by winning the fourth 0ne—dayer in dunedin. new zealand won the toss and have put england into bat. england starting nicely, jason roy
10:41 pm
and jonny bairstow looking indecent form. roy has escaped a review. england 59 without loss, with eight overs. you can listen to that much now. that is all. coming up in a moment for you, the papers. hello, welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me, the political editor of the sunday express and an economics editor. we will talk russians and chemicals and all sorts. a lot of fun to be had by all. the metro reports chemical experts at porton down waking to find out if the former russian spy
10:42 pm
sergei skripal was poisoned. this is a picture of his daughter yulia who is also critically ill. it says dignitaries including prince william may not travel to russia for the summer's football world cup. the same angle on the story in the male, and could the royals snubbed the world cup? the telegraph says president putin swore reve ng e the telegraph says president putin swore revenge on those who took part in the 201050 macro, which included sergei skripal. the sun says, what is your poison? and the guardian leads on the same story, but gives over space to north korea's apparent willingness to discuss getting rid of its nuclear arsenal as part of direct talks with america. so a lot chew over, starting with the metro. camilla, porton down poison probe, a lot of alliteration in that headline. that is the metro for you! the key to this story is the toxicology report, when it comes
10:43 pm
out, and porton down are looking into what could have affected these people. the top-secret military facility in wiltshire at the heart of this and people are making comparisons to litvinenko, which was a radioactive substance and we'll concluded this morning when the bench where these two unfortunate people were found was not singled out or had a cordon around it and the hospital they tend it was not close down the radioactivity was insta ntly close down the radioactivity was instantly ruled out. so it begs the question, what is the modus operandi and the poison here? what substance have they ingested and where is it from? on the lips of everyone including the foreign secretary today. 48 hours on, we are no clear but have had fighting talk from the foreign secretary and indeed from the russian embassy as well covered in lots of the papers. not me, says the kremlin and the embassy here.
10:44 pm
they were taking the michael out boris, suggesting his statement was a little bit premature. malign and disruptive with the words are reduced. they say, handgun, who are you accusing of this, mate? it is just a few days ago we went knocking on siberia's daughter get gas when out on siberia's daughter get gas when our gas supplies fell short of competing that after importing the beast of siberia. a very delicate time to have these conversations but boris clearly feels he has something he has to follow up on. well, this is interesting. the daily express, boris in threat to boycott world cup, putin warned of a claim he ordered poisoning of russian double agent. a similar headline here, britain's world cup threat to russia. camilla, borisjohnson as the foreign secretary, our leading diplomat around the world, a representative on the world stage, standing in the commons to say if it is russia, that is pretty century
10:45 pm
because it might not be russia, so he must know something we do not know. we would hope that foreign secretary is well briefed on the detail around this. to be fair to mr johnson, there is a sense of the foreign secretary had to address this, it has been running across the newswi res this, it has been running across the newswires all day and there is a suspicion there may be another case of russian poisoning on british soil, we need to know.
