by the royal collection trust to 12 museums across the uk. each venue has a group of drawings selected to reflect the diversity of leonardo's interests. we're in the national museum in cardiff among its 12 leonardos, all of which are magnificent, of course, but ijust wanted to point out two of the works. the first is this late anatomical drawing, which is great, but it does contain a mistake. on this left—hand edge, leonardo has left an inky thumbprint. and then over here is a drawing which shows the artist's deep interest in botany. it's a beautiful symmetrical design of a grain—bearing grass from asia known asjob's tears. at the time, it was very rare in the rest of the world. in fact, this is thought to be the first record of it in western europe. the drawingas on display here at the ulster museum in belfast give a sense of the extraordinary range of interests that leonardo da vinci had, from costume design to extreme weather effects and of course, famously, his detailed analysis of the human body, with images which are still well regarded today. but are they accurate, ian?
10:31 pm
they certainly are, will. if you look at the level of the anatomical detail here, it is equal to any standard surgical text in the modern era. more importantly, he's somehow picked up the functionality of these muscles and imbued them with life. the display here at the kelvingrove art gallery and museum in glasgow shows the two sides of leonardo. on the one hand, you have the fine artist who's interested in modelling form in really delicate detail using light and shade. on the other hand, you've got leonardo the engineer, who's interested in the movement of a horse and in designing weapons or fanciful war machines, as he called them. and he also liked to make maps such as this one of the central region of italy, including the arno valley where he was born. these, he made to support his architectural work. the final venue on this whistle—stop tour is the sunderland museum, where i'm joined by carly collier from the royal collection. this is the image i really want to talk to you about. basically, it's an essay. absolutely.
10:32 pm
leonardo was an artist, a scientist, but also an intellectual, and here he's investigating the nature of light. obviously, there is some drawing, because it is leonardo. in the great scheme of things, how good was he, from michelangelo to picasso? he really was a great draughtsman. and he's very unique in the way he uses drawing to truly understand the world. ultimately, then, the subject of all these beautiful drawings is leonardo and the workings of his remarkable mind. will gompertz, bbc news, sunderland. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello, i'm steven wyeth, and welcome to sportsday.

west indies bowlers give england another torrid examination, this time on day one of the second test in antigua. the clock is ticking but is there time for late drama on an otherwise cautious transfer deadline day? and wigan make the worst possible start to their defence of the superleague title. hello and welcome to sportsday. welcome to sportsday on what has been another torrid day for england's batsmen in west indies. hopes for an improvement after the heavy defeat in barbados were dashed early, and quickly, in antigua, as patrick geary reports.
10:34 pm
antigua can look too good to be true, and for england's batsmen, this paradise was a mirage. old problems re—emerged in the heat. rory burns went first and wilted. england's openers keep closing early. joe daly on debut, age 32, will know that he should have left this one alone. joe root had no such choice as the delivery was so fierce this just to get hold of that. butler followed, and england will have been shaken. having seen thatjohnny knew he might not last long. so batting with the freedom of the condemned man, he smashed 52 before he got one but his name on it. on this pitch, there are plenty of unanswered questions. gabriel gave stokes one to ponder six down. still, there are worse places to watch englandbatting collapses. he responded to be down in the deep and with some energetic paddling. he carried his team upstream but chosen a risky choice.
10:35 pm
it was a chance that it might end like this. the rest was a woozy whirl. getting bold, jimmy anderson moved out the way entirely. 187 all outs. so england went into the field in the evening looking for danger, but found things strangely peaceful. england remain in trouble in paradise. former england captain alistair cook is part of the bbc team in antigua and offered this assessment of england's efforts with the bat. i think it is about path. it has been a real tough day. in all of my experience for playing for england, i cannot remember a day where in the first three hours consistently as it has done today. england battled hard on the losing four makers. i think thatis
10:36 pm
on the losing four makers. i think that is a ready fair score. we're inside the final half an hour of transfer deadline day. dramatic developments in short supply, itbut some late activity to discuss with our correspondent, david ornstein. david, it concerns chelsea striker michy batshuayi... it does indeed. and 11 alec deal appears to be on the cards. he was on loan from chelsea fife valencia. they terminated the guilt. chelsea offered him a round. but they bitten on debates on the back we should say. he is in talks. the talks are ongoing. nothing has been agreed yet. the clock starts ticking. all parties are hoping that this is the deal we have been waiting for. parties are hoping that this is the dealwe have been waiting for. one cup without a reputation of spending has absolutely been so? with that

a different team in the chinese leak. all in all in terms of income things, a lot of underwhelming from the top clubs. thank you ever so much for updating us on transfer deadline date. let's take a look at some of the other stories we've been covering at the bbc sport centre today. starting with a signing, albeit not a new one. anthony martial extended his contract with manchester united, it keeps him at old trafford until 202a. there's an option to extend the deal for another year. english pair alfie plant and ross fisher are in a tie for second after the first round of golf‘s inaugural saudi international. fisher's round included five birdies. they're five under overall, 2 shots behind leader thomas pieters of belgium. britain's menna fitzpatrick and guidejen kehoe have won their second gold medal at the para alpine skiing world championships in italy. they had the quickest time in the visually—impaired super—g... which helped them also claim a silver in the super combined event.

fellow gb skiers kelly gallagher and gary smith won bronze in both. wigan warriors' defence of the super league title got off to the worst possible start. they were beaten 22—12 at rivals st helens. but it was hugely impressive openerfor the saints, with kevin naiqama scoring the first try after just 93 seconds. wigan managed to get back to 12—all at the break, but tries from regan grace and this one from james roby sealed the win. there's less than 2a hours to go until the start of the six nations. wales travel to france in friday night's opener but the big game of the weekend is in dublin as champions ireland host england. eddie jones has given manu tuilagi a first start in the competition for six years. our rugby union correspondent chrisjones has been at their training camp in portugal.
10:40 pm
the weather has turned a little bit here and portugal. the sun has been replaced by some wind and rain. perhaps a better preparation for england as they head and said that freezing environment in the stadium. i have been some big selection calls. such a sixth action game for the first time in six years and the unfamiliar position in santa rather than outside centre. perhaps most interestingly, it daly keeps his place instead of mike brown. england goes as the underdogs. you get that impression that they plan to keep it that way. does that inspire you a little bit to be an underdog? we do not really care. the only reality is that no one outside of that time
10:41 pm
thinks we can when and i went inside that time can think they can win. we will see what will happen. that time can think they can win. we will see what will happenlj that time can think they can win. we will see what will happen. i think everyone has got to realise what a big opportunity we have. it is one of those things we need to come together. we need to play and try to help when english boy. here at the training base in portugal before flying directly to portugal. there was a growing relief amongst the players that they can go and upset the odds. ireland have only made two changes to the side that beat the all blacks in dublin in the autumn. connor murray comes in at scrum—half and this man — robbie henshaw — will start at full—back for the first time. usually a centre, he replaces rob kearney at 15, and coach joe schmidt says he's up for the task. it has been an option for us for
10:42 pm
quite some time. rob ran out of time a little bit and we like to fix the bench covering a number of positions. we have seen this as an option for some time, so it is probably not much of a surprise to robbie or that team. as it may be to other people. glasgow centre sam johnson will make his scotland debut in their six nations opening match against italy on saturday. the australian—born player qualifies via residency last summer was named in the squad for the autumn internationals but didn't played because of a knee injury. you can stay up to date with the up—to—date news on our website. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead
