he was the king of pop, but?michaeljackson was also in his own words? a great fan of art. now on the ninth anniversary of his death a new exhibition at the national portrait gallery in london, explores how he inspired many contemporary?artists. among them?— kehinde wiley, who? painted the recent portrait of the former us president barack obama. will gompertz met the artist — who was the last person to paint the singer before he died. michaeljackson, the child star. who became a global sensation, and then a pop culture icon. and a go to subject for artists. the likes of andy warhol... keith haring... david lachapelle and gary hume have all had a run at capturing the enigmatic showman. this exhibition is a bit like one of those tv detective shows, insomuch as we're given all these different views of the great pop performer, but it's up to us to create our own three—dimensional portrait of him, which goes some way to answer the central question of this show, which is — who was michaeljackson? he was a trickster. says the artist who painted

this riff on rubens — the singer's last commissioned portrait. michaeljackson is the one who shows you one face and says, "do you like that? watch this, i've got 20 more". and we're not talking about plastic surgery. we're not talking about the changing of race. we are talking about him showing a mirror to society and saying not only do i change, but so do you. there was that question of well, what skin tone shall i paint? what era within his evolution are we talking about? i arrived at the moment we have here. he's not quite as light or dark as you might see him at either extreme of his career, but he is in my mind the michael that i know. it is a painting where there is, some of the changes he undertook are evident, the thinner lips... certainly... the thinner nose. which brings to call questions around race, self—love, notions of white beauty standards and all of this. these are really complicated questions that deserve

to be talked about. i love that painting can be a provocation for that. michael was troubled and talented and beautiful at once. and elusive, as this exhibition shows. it's difficult for us to get beyond his public persona. maybe it was for him too. to get us to drop our guard... # because this is thriller #. to reveal ourselves. will gompertz, bbc news. that's it from me — here on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. hello, you are watching bbc news. i'm olly foster live in moscow, this is sportsday at the world cup, these these are our headlines. england losers on the night to belgium, but has that made the world cup any easier to win. it's colombia next for gareth southagte‘s side. that's after they knocked out senegal! and i'm will perry in the bbc sport centre with the rest of the day's sports news. from merseyside to mls, rooney leaves everton for america.

and, as he prepares for wimbledon, british number one kyle edmund is beaten in the eastbourne quarter—finals. good evening. welcome along to sports day in moscow. england's world cup path has been set. they are heading here to moscow to face colombia next tuesday in the last 16. they lost to belgium on the night and it was not particularly pretty but there were 17 changes between both teams because of course both sides knew they could already progress. in a moment we will hopefully go live and speak to our

sports reporter at the stadium. but first let's hear the story of the game. now for something completely different. a surreal scenario of two shovel teams about to play a game where victory was not essential or possibly even preferable because finishing second might help you further into the tournament and just as well that jordan pickford further into the tournament and just as well thatjordan pickford does not get ahead of himself. he had to keep him at bay. england seemed distracted and eight team with changes made few chances. there are so many links between these nations when he was at manchester united there was talk he could qualify for england. here is a moment of belgium quality two and the apathy but however many times that skits replayed and re—tweeted, perhaps he hoped the cameras would miss it. jamie vardy put him in and he had

time and space but not the right angle. the longer the game went on but the more convinced belgium were convinced they wanted to finish top after all. and defeating england may have stumbled onto a smoother path but the time for stumbling is now over. if we win again tonight, we will be certain that the reality of where we are might not have been in people's minds but we know where we are and we know how immaculate we have to be to win matches against the very best teams. we have those challenges to come but that was our objective when we started the three matches. we achieved it and it allowed us to take as much of a competitive advantage as we could in the physical area. and whatever happens next week, that was the right decision as far as i am concerned. there was another group

match under way but it was a bit of a dead rubber. panama and tunisia lost both their matches against england. the tunisia captain has been... coming behind to beat the world cup debutantes 2—1 to need to going home with three points in another goal from the sunderland player currently on loan. so what see how the dust has settled on group g, england and belgium fosamax group. they lead the way because they have a better disciplinary record. —— belgium's group. panama with no points at all. let's show you now how england and

belgium's next opponents, england will face colombia and belgium will be facing japan's. let's see how they got out of group h. colombia climbed from third to top of the group by beating senegal 1—0, yerri mina with the second half header. one worry for them ahead of the england game is an injury to their star james rodrigues. that result saved japan who lost to poland. there was a goal from that result saved japan who lost to poland. there was a goalfrom poland before they went home. the japanese finish above senegal by virtue of their disciplinary record. they have belgium and what is a very tricky half of the draw. polen winning before they go home. —— poland winning before they go home.

if you look at the last 16 you will see how top heavy they are. france and argentina, what a match to look forward to hoppe and brazil versus mexico will be great on monday as well but you can see we also have portugal against her room quite and england playing columbia in the last match in the round of 16 on tuesday evening here in moscow at the arena. —— article versus uruguay. pass the colombians and then it could be a quarterfinal against sweden or switzerland, let's head back to the stadium and speak to our reporter. sorry we cannot be on the top of the programme, we were talking there on england finishing second. it was not pretty and it was not a feat but in the big picture, they probably would not mind one bit, will they?”

the big picture, they probably would not mind one bit, will they? i think thatis not mind one bit, will they? i think that is right. it is hard to evaluate england after what was a funny game, with a more subdued atmosphere perhaps because of the changes the managers made. i think ina changes the managers made. i think in a sense england would have preferred to win but not to upset to have lost. by finishing runner up in group g, on paper at the looks like they are on offering an easier pass.. they are on offering an easier pass. .. path to they are on offering an easier pass... path to progress. columbia is certainly more daunting than japan would have been but if they can overcome it, sweden or switzerland. garrett southgate, columbia and the last 16, sweden or switzerland in the quarterfinals, he would have bitten your hand off i think it is fair to say. they should not get carried away, england have not get carried away, england have not won a knockout match in a major tournament for some 12 long years

and it is hard still to know what to make of them after these three matches, given they made eight changes here this evening and there is the welcome of surprises, like germany's shock exit. relatively happy with how things have panned out but now they need to make sure they going to be big match on tuesday and that will determine whether the calculated gamble by southgate this evening turns out to bea southgate this evening turns out to be a master stroke or something he comes to regret. our sports editor, things indeed. we look forward to the last 16 starting on saturday. let's head back to the bbc sports centre now. thank you very much. staying with football, england's record goalscorer wayne rooney has signed a deal tojoin mls side dc united. the move was confirmed by everton this afternoon. he'll officially complete his move when the us mid—season transfer window opens injuly. there's no transfer fee but the deal is worth £10 million, meaning he becomes the highest paid player in dc united's history. just four days away from the start of wimbledon, kyle edmund has been

beaten at eastbourne by kazakhstan's mikhail kukushkin in the quarter—finals. edmund, ranked 18th in the world, lost the deciding set 6—1 to his 90th—ranked opponent in the first ever meeting between the pair. england warmed up for the women's twenty20 tri—series final against new zealand by thrashing them by seven—wickets in bristol. the home side chased their target of 130 with 25 balls to spare, natalie sciver with the winning runs with sarah taylor making 51. england bowled well to dismiss new zealand for 129. new zealand earlier put themselves and england into the final with an eight—wicket defeat of south africa. they meet on sunday at chelmsford. so we now know that england will face columbia in the last 16 of the world cup in russia. 20 years ago, this week england beat them 2—0 in the group stage at france 1998, remember this? goodnight. to set things up for england and a

crisscross, and there is the shot in there is the goal! that is beckham. it is in! cheering hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nicola bartlett, the political correspondent at the daily mirror and political commentator jo—anne nadler. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's bring you up to date on what they are saying. the metro reports a fall in the number of eu citizens coming to the uk for work and features smiling england fans despite the team's 1—0 defeat to belgium. staying with europe, the financial times features a picture of angel merkle arriving at today's eu summit, which is ongoing as we speak,

where migration policy was high on the agenda. the is front page focuses on brexit divisions in the cabinet and their impact on eu negotiations. the times reports warnings from theresa may about the risk of terrorism if the eu restricts security cooperation with the uk following brexit. the daily express also carries the prime minsiter‘s security comments, as well as a reminder that england's defeat tonight is not necessarily bad news. the guardian leads with the publication of reports that reveal the uk's intelligence services involvement in rendition and torture following the 9/11 attacks. and the daily telegraph's front page calls for a boost in funding for children's mental health care. so, there is plenty to start with the times. eu putting lives at risk over brexit warns theresa may and this looks like very deliver it briefing ahead of the summit. >>i briefing ahead of the summit. >> i would think that number ten and theresa may would be pleased with

the headline on the times and the express and it look like they run with what i imagine would be the priest —— briefing. it would give the impression that theresa may has given the initiative with these talks and not necessarily on the back foot like we had reason to believe she might have been and although we will come onto this i am sure, there is a multiplicity of rob owns on the continent that leaders are debating. nonetheless, obviously
