He is long gone, as is much of his collection. But not his appetite for art, which is shared by the current owner although his taste is a little different. Contemporary minimalism meets georgian magnificence, with an exhibition of richard longs geometric sculptures which are installed in the house and dotted about the grounds. Its an amazing opportunity to make all these grand works, in this grand, very, very english landscape. Richard long is a landscape artist, but probably not in the way that sir Robert Walpole would have understood. He doesnt paint or sculpt, in the traditional sense. My preference is to use the natural Raw Materials of the world. I suppose ijust ordered these materials into. Thats what humans do, they make order out of natural chaos. His art isnt so much about taming nature, but accentuating its beauty, with circles of Overlapping Flint and long lines of hand picked stone. Ive always used stones, because thats what the world is made of. I can find stones anywhere in the world, almost. So, it means i can be an artist wherever i happen to be walking. And walking is what he does. From his early days as a student, when he made his mark by pacing up and down a field, to his roaming of houghtons acres, looking for suitable sites for his work. Ive always been interested in alignments, you know . Ever since very early work. So, one thing leading to another. Its pretty incredible that they gave me the croquet lawn to make that big slate cross. The cross, like the rest of the exhibition, is striking in many ways. Not least in how the mixing of the arts of the past and present can heighten your awareness and appreciation of both. Will gompertz, bbc news, norfolk. Newsnights about to begin over on bbc two in a few moments. Heres kirsty wark. Tonight, the courts force the government to publish their draft plans for clean air. Is diesel pollution too important to be left to politics . And were in detroit to find out if the White Working Class voters who put donald trump in the white house are still happy 100 days on. Thats over on bbc two now. Now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. Good night. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Im mike bushell. The headlines tonight. Its the head of Maroune Fellaini that is the main Talking Point from a heated manchester derby. The united man is sent off for headbutting Sergio Aguero. There may be 14 years between them in age, but today it was just centimetres as anthonyjoshua and Wladimir Klitschko came face to face ahead of saturdays heavyweight showdown. And andy murray seems to be over his Injury Rustiness as he marches on in barcelona. Victory for murray. Thanks forjoining us, as we reflect first of all on the manchester derby, which ended goalless. So in the race for the Top Four Champions League places, liverpool are the main beneficiaries tonight, but there is one big Talking Point for andy swiss, our man at the ethiad to talk about, a head butt by marouane fellaini. Right in front of the referee. Right in front of the refereem was about the only Talking Point of the evening. We have seen some goal packed derbies over the years, but this was not one of them. City dominated, but as you say the main Talking Point just dominated, but as you say the main Talking Pointjust before the end, Marouane Fellainis minute of madness. A yellow card followed by that red card in the space ofjust 20 seconds. As for the result, it finished honours even. A thursday Night Showdown in manchester, this now a Battle For Third and fourth, perhaps not quite the stakes for which both might have hoped to be playing, but ambitions have been adjusted, and this is a game of consequence. A fact clear from the reaction to Sergio Agueros shot against the post. Theres what the better chances in a first half dominant but never decisive. Jose mourinhos men might have gone into the break ahead, had Ander Herrera done better. That was as good as it got for them. City continued to push, but never quite finding their reward. A game that only found its spark any moment of uncontrolled aggression, Marouane Fellainis head butt costing him a red card and some searching questions from his manager. It almost cost them more than that. Doublejesus convinced he had scored, the linesman thought otherwise. The final chance for Sergio Aguero, a final mess, then night summed up. With another player, it is not a red card. That is what he says. He says that Sergio Aguero was intelligent, the way he reacted. But he has to control. The only thing i know is that we have to play for almost 15 minutes with a tired team, with one player less. Lam player less. I am satisfied, i know how difficult it is to play against Manchester United. How aggressive they are. Of course, united. How aggressive they are. Of course , we united. How aggressive they are. Of course, we missed the last shot, the lastpass, and it is not easy with ten players defending. You have to be ina ten players defending. You have to be in a good position to avoid the counter attack. At least Manchester United maintained their unbeaten record, a premier League Club Record of 2a matches, but for either side, not the victory they needed to make sure of the top four place. In some senses, it is not a terrible result for either side, it leaves Manchester City one point behind liverpool in third, and Manchester United two points behind liverpool in third. Both manchester teams have a game in hand. If they were to win all of their remaining matches, they would both finish in the top four. As far as Manchester United are concerned, they still have the safety net of the Europa League potentially, if they win that, they will qualify for the Champions League automatically. As far as they are concerned, the fans will have plenty of hope they can still finish in that top four and qualify for the Champions League, but as ever, plenty more twists and turns to come over the next few weeks. The 18 month ban given to burnley Midfielderjoey Barton for Breaching Gambling Rules has come under scrutiny today. The Football Association says its the shortest possible suspension it could have given to the player under its current rules, but his club manager says the punishment handed down to barton, who has admitted he is addicted to gambling, is too harsh. One of the most obvious that springs to mind when i was a younger man was the legend that is Eric Cantona Kung Fu kicking someone, he got a nine month ban. We know the rules, dont gamble on football when you are in football, i make that clear, and he knows that, but the fa made clear that there is no intent on anything other than his own personal gambling, his integrity is intact, nothing about trying to change games orany of nothing about trying to change games or any of that or consulting, just his own personal situation, so 18 months seems a long time to me. Anthony joshua says his heavyweight unification bout with Wladimir Klitschko is a stepping stone to greatness, as he prepares to fight in front of 90,000 at wembley. Hes been facing the two time World Champion today as well at the pre fight press conference. Joshua is the favourite and seemed focused on beyond saturdays fight. Even though it is an amazing event, i try to strip everything down to reality and what it really is, it is just me and a man coming to blows and the best man will win. I am still up very early in the morning and sleeping late at night, working with my coach, to prepare myself, not only physically, but mentally, to prepare for any battle. That is why i enjoy the sport, i take it seriously. April 29 isjust another stepping stone towards greatness. It is amazing to have this promotion, where we are polishing the sport of boxing. Without any effort, promoting the fight, punching each other in the faces or throwing chairs or glass bottles. |j am very happy about that. Andy murrays preparations for next months french open continue in barcelona, where hes into the Quarter Finals after a straight sets win over feliciano lopez. The world number ones return from elbow injury didnt go to plan in monte carlo, losing in the third round there, but hes back on track in spain. He won the first set 6 4. And picked up the second by the same score, breaking lopezs serve in the final game. It was tough. The end of the first set, i had a few set points and did not get them. Then i got the break in the next game. He had quite a few chances on my service games, six or seven break points. He created ten break point i created ten break point on his serve, so we both had chances, and i converted a few more of mine. But there was defeat for Britains Dan Evans in barcelona, he lost in straight sets to Dominic Thiem of austria. After her win in stuttgart yesterday in her first match since her doping suspension, Maria Sharapova has won again, against another russian, ekaterina makarova. The former world number one won the first set 7 5, the third successive set she has won in her comeback. And she went on to comfortably win the second 6 1 to clinch her place in the next round. Johanna konta is out at the second round stage after she was beaten by anastasija sevastova. The british number one, who was the sixth seed for the tournament, was defeated in straight sets by the latvian, 6 3, 7 5. Leeds rhinos missed the chance to move top of the super league after a 31 12 defeat to huddersfield giants. England football manager Gareth Southgate was one interested spectator at headingly. And he was treated to a remarkable second half performance from the giants. They took advantage of numerous handling errors by leeds to run in three unanswered tries, including this one from darnell mcintosh. Huddersfield state tent but moved to within one point of warrington. The latest from the World Snooker championship now, and the first semi final, between defending champion mark selby and the man he beat in last years final, ding junhui, and ding leads 5 3 after the first session. But it was selby who had the early momentum in the match, playing shots like this to take a 3 2 lead. But it was ding who managed to regroup, and ended strongly, winning the final three frames, the last of which was a century of 110. They will resume tomorrow at 10am. And in the other semi final, four times Champion John higgins leads barry hawkins. 53. But 5 3. But hawkins fouled the black in an unusual fashion in the seventh frame, which begins one.
