finals of a generation. hello, i'm krupa padhy. thank you forjoining us. the french—english actress and singerjane birkin has died in paris at the age of 76. she had a prolific career in both british and french cinema and was seen as a 1960s icon. overseas jane birkin was probably best known for this song.

the romantic duetje t'aime...moi non plus, sung with her lover, the late french singer serge gainsbourg. it was recorded in 1968 months after they met on the set of the film slogan. in recent years, jane birkin maintained her celebrity status after inspiring the hermes birkin handbag. when it was released, the song je t'aime was banned on radio stations in several countries and condemned by the vatican because of its overtly sexual lyrics. speaking in a bbc documentary in 2015 jane birkin reflected on the controversy. the vatican and the bbc banned it just because of the heavy breathing without realising the beauty of the text which is "i love you, nor do i." i played it to my mother and father, i used to do itjumping the heavy breathing so my mum said was a beautiful tune and it was of course and their brother came by the health and put the whole thing on with the breathing so mum kept to her thing of saying it was beautiful tune and my father to her thing of saying

it was a beautiful tune and my father too, they were stoic. can you imagine having your daughter in such a scandalous thing? it went up in the charts in england and everyone talked about it. for them it must have been a nightmare. tributes have been coming in following jane birkin�*s death. the french president, emmanuel macron has tweeted... i've been speaking to ashanti omkar, a film and tv critic, who unpacked birkin�*s legacy in the realms of film, music, and the world of fashion. in the realms of film, music, she has been quite the fashion icon, a singer and actress, a lot of us loved her in things like death on the nile and it's a sad demise to hear this story because she had a stroke a few years

ago but was recovering really well and i guess she lived her life in such a beautiful and iconic way. the birkin bag is actually named after this woman who really has made a mark on the world of fashion and acting and also on music, it's actually an amazing career. for someone who was born in the uk but at the right time moved over to france and the song you mentioned, je t'aime... moi non plus is one we all loved and we are at a loss and pop culture. her personal relationship with the musician serge gainsbourg, that was particularly significant. absolutely. this song that we see them both in the video together, it was a very important relationship, they had a daughter together, charlotte who made a film with jane, charting her life.

that was shown in cannes and it was really interesting that they were that couple that was the celebrity couple that was much—loved and much remembered and people still talk about them so much in the world of fashion and film as well as on in the world of music. you mentioned the bag named after her and she really was a trendsetter in so many ways. in so many ways but the last time she went to cannes in 2021, she was actuallyjust dressed in casual clothes, in jeans. that's what we all loved about her because she showed that you can age so gracefully and live your own life in your own terms and that is something that is a really beautiful thing in this world of celebrities. they have not released much information about the actual death which i suppose it is all to do with the fact that once you have that stroke, you have to really look after yourself carefully and she was recovering very well from that stroke

from what her family released at the time. so what i can gather, we have to wait and watch to see the cause of death. i noticed recently they had been releasing the cause of death much later for many people who had been passing in recent times and this is one of those cases where they want to get all the minute details right before releasing the cause. but from the world of fashion, film and music, it's a great loss and we're celebrating her rather than mourning her because of what she left behind, 70 films, all that music, she is certainly an icon. i wonder if you can get your thoughts on her legacy i wonder if we can get your thoughts on her legacy for generations going forward because she passed away in her 70s. for those younger people, notjust in france but around the world, what is the legacy and what should they know about jane birkin? i would say look her up, watch her movies, listen to her music. very iconic styles, when she did

those things, there were very very iconic styles, when she did those things, they were very new to the world and fashionable. what we class as fashion now is changing all the time but her style remained very much something we can look at now and still say...this woman was, what a legacy she left behind. from my perspective, it's all about watching and remembering the sort of things she did, just the poses, the way she was able to move as a model was absolutely astounding and the fact she could meld between music and fashion and then also get onto film sets and bring her best to us. this is what i feel was a big legacy for her and the film her daughter made although it was a particularly that acclaimed, is a good insight made although it wasn't a particularly that made although it wasn't particularly

that acclaimed, is a good insight into what her mother was and that relationship between her mother and father and daughter charlotte. certainly there is a legacy left behind with this amazing daughter who i'm sure will become an icon in her own right. and these are live pictures we're getting from paris. it's the maison gainsbourg is a cultural institution located in paris, where jane birkin lived with serge gainsbourg. tributes have been coming on as i said, we heard from president macron earlier and the french prime minister has also paid tribute to the celebrity saying the singer and actor was an unforgettable icon who transcended generations. jane birkin moved to france in the 1970s, born in london but it was in france where she really found fame. we will keep up she really found fame. we will keep up with that story on bbc news. a heatwave continues to impact many countries across the northern hemisphere — with warnings that the extreme conditions could be dangerous to health. in the us, nearly a third

of the population — that's 113 million people — have been placed under heat advisories. the highest temperatures are in western states and heat records are forecast to fall in the comingdays. in asia, japan has issued heat stroke alerts in 20 of the country's 47 prefectures — affecting tens of millions of people. temperatures have been close to a0 degrees celsius in tokyo — just over one degree lower than the highest ever recorded figure. extremely high temperatures are also being experienced in europe and north africa. and with this heat comes the increased threat of wildfires. spanish officials evacuated more than 2,000 people on saturday from la palma, in the canary islands because of this blaze. with the latest, here's our correspondent in madrid, guy hedgecoe. spain, where i am, is one of several countries in southern europe which has been seeing unusually high temperatures over recent days. although that heatwave is starting

to taper off here in spain, other countries are still seeing very high temperatures. for example, in italy and in greece, where the acropolis monument has been closed down temporarily at the hottest times of the day because of concerns about the health of people visiting it. there have also been wildfires in greece caused by the hot, dry conditions. wildfires as well on the dalmatian coast in croatia. this particular heatwave is expected to end by the end of the weekend. however, there is another heatwave due to hit parts of europe at the beginning of next week. the european space agency has warned that spain, france, germany, poland and italy are among the countries that could see extremely high temperatures. areas of italy, for example, we're told that they could see temperatures as high as 48 degrees celsius on tuesday.

to south korea now — where at least 37 people are known to have died as a result of floods. rescue efforts continue to reach people trapped in their cars in an underground tunnel which was inundated after a nearby river burst its banks. the workers, including divers, have spent the last 2a hours searching the underpass, which is half a kilometre long, in the town of cheongju, in the central chungcheong region. earlier our correspondent yuna ku sent us this update from seol. the rescue efforts are continuing. the three days of continuous downpours in the central and south eastern parts of the country have led to considerable loss of human lives and properties. and one of the worst incidents that took place in the city of chongju, north chungcheong province. what happened here on saturday morning, flood water swept

in in a suburban tunnel too quickly, leaving 15 vehicles and people inside. and around 400 rescuers have been, including the soldiers, have been deployed to this region, continuing to search for missing people and investigating the reason behind this disaster. so far, the local fire officials reported nine people are found dead at this site and there could be more as the operation is still under way. the uk hasjoined a new trading bloc — making it the twelfth member of asia & pacific nations bloc known as the cpt pp. this is the moment the uk's trade secretary, kemi badenoch, signed on the dotted line in auckland, in new zealand. other members include, australia, canada, chile, japan, mexico and malaysia. but critics of the deal have questioned its benefits to britain. the government's own estimates indicate being in the bloc will only add 0.08% — less than 1% — to the size of the uk's economy in 10 years. our business correspondent

marc ashdown has more now on what the deal means for british businesses and the economy as a whole. and what this will mean is frictionless free trade for uk exporters. and this is a bloc which generates about 13% of the world's income. now the uk is on board. this should amount to about £11 trillion. what it means is no tariffs on all sorts of things from cheese and whisky and gin to cars and various bits of machinery. so it should in theory boost our exports. but it is worth noting a couple of things here. firstly, we did have deals already in place with nine out of 11 of these countries in this bloc. and as you alluded to there, in terms of what it's worth to our economy, well, the government's own estimates are that it will provide gains of about 0.08% over ten years. so give you give you an idea that's about $0.08 for every

£100 we generate. and, of course, this was all about deals we could sign thanks to leaving the eu. and to give it a bit of context, the government's again own watchdog estimates that the cost of leaving the eu will be a reduction in gdp by about 4% over the next ten years. you touched on it there. brexit, i mean, this is possibly one of many. what are the prospects of other trade deals now being signed? well, yeah, talks are ongoing for a number. bear in mind, this took five years in its inception, this deal. we are in talks with india, of course, the big one though the us. there's nothing looking likely, according to the trade secretary at the moment, kemi badenoch, that is the greatest prize of all, as tory mp put it. and of course signing this deal as well. i mean, this is a bloc which is spread around the world. these countries are thousands and thousands of miles away. so in a climate conscious world we're in now, some are questioning is it sensible to increase trade all the way around the other side of the world instead of places like france and germany?

and by the way, the amount we trade with these countries adds up to roughly about what we do with germany every year anyway. so i think a bit of a tough sell really for badenoch. there she is signing the deal today, the trade secretary. but they are putting a brave face on it, saying it is significant, it is symbolic. and also they're calling it something like akin to signing up to a start up business. it's about the potential. these are fast growing economies and we are in the ground floor, if you like. so what exactly is the uk signing up to? 0ur reporter nicky schiller has been looking at the trade pact. cptpp is a bit of a mouthful to say. it is the comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans pacific partnership. it is a club of the 11 nations with 500 million people. the countries are australia, brunei, canada, chile, japan, malaysia, mexico, new zealand, peru, singapore and vietnam. together they generate around 13% of the world's income. the pacific trade pact

was signed in march 2018. the uk is the first non—founding country to join and is the second biggest economy afterjapan. it takes the value of the new grouping to over $14 trillion, or £11 trillion. the key park for all nations is greater access the key perk for all nations is greater access to each other�*s markets. there was also a pledge to eliminate or reduce 95% of import charges or tariffs. some are kept to protect sensitive domestic areas, things like japan's rice—farming industry. they must cooperate on regulations such as food standards, but unlike the european union, the cptpp is neither a single market nor a customs union. countries are not required to have identical regulations and standards. looking ahead, china is valuing to sign up, as is taiwan, but the real price

for all in the group would be if the us reversed a decision made by president trump not to join. membership doesn't appear to be on president biden�*s to do list. let's get some of the day's other news now. the last ship covered by the soon—to—expire, un—brokered deal, which allows ukraine to export grain has left the black sea port of odessa. russia has not agreed to register any new ships sincejune the 27th — the agreement will run out on monday unless moscow agrees to extend it. grain prices rose sharply last year after the russian invasion hindered ukraine's exports. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has been discharged from hospital — following his admission for suspected deydration. mr netanyahu, who is 73, was taken to sheba hospital and kept overnight under observation — but officials — say that medical tests revealed no irregularities.

now it's time for a look at today's sport with paul scott. hello from the bbc sport centre. let's start with wimbledon then — it's men's singles finals day — novak djokovic taking on carlos alcaraz. djokovic is looking for a record equalling 8th wimbledon title and a record extending 24th grand slam crown. and the serbian started in blistering fashion — taking the first set 6 games to 1 — injust311 minutes. it's currently level at 2 a piece in the second set. great britain's alfie hewett missed out on a career grand slam in singles, as he lost the final of the men's wheelchair competition to japan's tokito 0da. wimbledon is the only grand slam singles title that the seven—time major champion hasn't won. but 17—year—old 0da won 6—4, 6—2 to claim his second major title after winning last month's french open. there was a dramatic conclusion to golf's scottish 0pen

as rory mcilroy birdied the final two holes of his final round at the the renaissance club, to win by a single shot from scotland's robert mcintyre. mcintyre�*s impressive 6 under for the day meant he had the club house lead, but a birdie on holes 17 and 18 saw mcilroy claim the title — his first on scottish soil and ideal preparation ahead of the open next week. lionel messi has started a three day event that marks his move to major league soccer team inter miami — the club co—owned by david beckham. part one was the official announcement and promotional video. he arrives following his departure from psg — agreeing to play in the us until 2025. the world cup winner is being introduced in stages, in something inter miami are calling the unveil. over the next couple of days he'll speak to the media — and then have his first training session. it is a decision, i think, to go to the united states, which is probably based as much

on non—football reasons as football reasons. because there are a number of options, one of which was back to argentina. another was saudi arabia, which is spending a lot of money, or perhaps finding another club in europe. i think this is a fascinating deal, but the ramifications are far greater for major league soccer than they are for lionel messi. australia have set england a huge target of 283 in the penultimate one—day match of the women's ashes series. a win for the tourists in southampton would secure them victory in the multi—format series. they're at six points each, with the home side needing to win both remaining matches to guarantee winning the ashes. england won the toss and fielded first. ellyse perry led the australian charge — making 91. lauren bell taking 3 wickets, but she was hit for 26 in the final over. the home side are currently 62 without loss.

and that's all the sport for now. the uk defence secretary, ben wallace has told the sunday times newspaper, he'll leave cabinet at the next reshuffle and will not stand again at the next election. mr wallace has been defence secretary for 4 years, helping to lead britain's response to russia's invasion of ukraine. the bbc understands the next government reshuffle could be in september. 0ur political correspondent, georgia roberts, has more. an interview in the sunday times confirmed speculation for days that ben wallace was thinking about a departure from government, and he confirms that and he talks about his reasons for doing so. he talks about the toll that being in government for such a long time has taken on his family, and talks as well about the fact that he went into politics in 1999 and spent well over seven years with three phones by his bed. he played a very high profile role

in the ukraine raw, and other things he played a very high profile role in the ukraine war, and other things he mentioned in the interview as well, throwing a head to the threat to head facing the uk, and also talking about his intention therefore to keep beating the drum, if you like for the uk to keep up its commitment to keep spending its percentage of gdp on defence. a barge which will house up to 500 migrants off the southern english coast could arrive at portland port within days and some businesses in the area say they've already suffered as a result of the plan. protests against the barge prompted a cruise ship to cancel a planned stop in the town of weymouth in dorset, costing the local economy an estimated £400 thousand. james ingham reports. weymouth�*s summer season is in full swing. the town is busy, but it gets even busier when cruise ships pay a visit, docking in nearby portland

port. the port are mooting that cruise ship passengers bring about £a00,000 into the economy on a trip and i would advocate that's probably about right because of the amount of fish and chips that they buy and the gifts they buy and the things they want to take back to wherever they've come from, in order to take a little bit of england, britain, bring back with them, really. chanting: refugees are welcome here! but instead of cruise passengers, it was protesters who came to town, here to show their opposition to controversial plans to house asylum—seekers on a giant barge in the port. that prompted a cruise company to cancel a planned stop because of safety concerns — a decision which had a big impact on the local economy. we did notice a difference in footfall. for us, it's really important and it's notjust about them coming in, obviously they spend their money, but it's just the vibrancy they bring to the town.

they absolutely love it, everywhere's booming and the businesses are all doing well. some of the 3,600 passengers on board the cruise ship would have gone on excursions to nearby attractions. bluebird coaches had four vehicles booked for trips. with protesters adamant they'll be back, this family—run firm is worried that more cruise ships may give portland a miss. we've got cruise ships booked right through to october and we are worried going forward if more cruise liners do cancel and we may have already turned work down because, in our eyes, we were fully booked in those dates because the cruise liners were due to come in. hey, lorna! hi, there! looking really busy. yes, just tidying up the shelves, refilling lots of local dorset produce. lorna is another who relies on the cruise trade. she's against the barge, but is also worried about the protesters. they're affecting now people that they probably don't mean to affect. so the locals that require the money

that we get from these cruise ships to survive and to make it from one season to the next. you guys are right, it shouldn't be here, but you need to take it to government. they are the people who are responsible for this, not the port, not to the locals. the barge may arrive in portland within days and 500 men moved in soon after. that's likely to lead to more protests and more concern from businesses nearby. james ingham, bbc news, weymouth. and just a reminder of our breaking news this hour — the french—english actress and singerjane birkin has died at her home in paris.

she was 76 years old. birkin was best known overseas for her 1969 duetje t'aime...moi je t'aime...moi non plus, sung with her lover, the late french singer serge gainsbourg. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. the unsettled weather is set to continue with a strong jet stream propelling this low pressure system our way, this is the area of low pressure we saw yesterday moving eastwards and northwards bringing blustery winds across much of england and wales. here wind gusts gusting over 55 mph in a few spots. still blustery today especially for this time of year but the winds have eased a little and there will be scattered showers but also sports sunny spells. but also some sunny spells. here it is in a bit more detail
