good news for britain. and novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz have ta ken to centre court at wimbledon, in one of the most anticipated finals of a generation. hello, i'm krupa padhy. thank you forjoining us. the british—born singer and actress jane birkin has died in her adoptive home, paris, at the age of 76. she had a prolific career in cinema and became a symbol of �*60s fashion style. overseas jane birkin was probably best known for this song. the 1969 romantic duet

je t'aime...moi non plus, sung with her lover, the late french singer serge gainsbourg. it was recorded 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 "what a beautiful tune!" and it was of course and my 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 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: for more on this we can cross to the bbc�*s europe regional editor paul moss in the newsroom. thank you forjoining us. i understand that you have seen her in action. i understand that you have seen her in action. ., ., ., , action. i did. i saw one of her last concert last _ action. i did. i saw one of her last concert last year. _ action. i did. i saw one of her last concert last year. full _ action. i did. i saw one of her last concert last year. full disclosure, | concert last year. full disclosure, i was not a particularjane birkin fan but that is why i was surprised by how blown away was by the

it? i was think about the quote you | it? i was think about the quote you mentioned of mr macron and what he had to say about a british actress and singer saying she sang the most beautiful words in the french language. that's not some are you here very often. it goes back to the 19605 here very often. it goes back to the 1960s when continental european culture was in some ways separate to british culture and then this italian director comes to britain and makes a very continental european film but set in london and who sells net but jane birkin, european film but set in london and who sells net butjane birkin, a role that was slightly notorious and she appeared with not too many clothes on in a couple of scenes but that made her shoot to fame and bent over to france and that is where it starts. she went on to work with some of the most famous french directors around. how many people can say they starred in films by very highbrow film directors but also managed to release a song that was condemned by the vatican? we are talking about someone rather remarkable.— talking about someone rather remarkable. ,, . ., ., remarkable. such a roller-coaster life and we _ remarkable. such a roller-coaster life and we can't _ remarkable. such a roller-coaster

a human being in her own right. what an incredibly — a human being in her own right. what an incredibly rich _ a human being in her own right. what an incredibly rich for _ a human being in her own right. what an incredibly rich for life. thank you forjoining us. 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. we will keep an eye on that story. 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 coming days. 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 2000 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 cheongju, 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.

some people including the families are criticising that disaster is man—made and could have been prevented because it was alarmed earlier. several outlets have also mentioned the collapse and the river flood control office issued a warning of the level of the river reaching the lodging number that the authorities should have stepped in and a message traffic but it's now coming into effect. however it seems that both parties are trying to keep away from criticising each other and concentrating their efforts on rescuing more people. the president is currently making an official visit to poland but he is presiding overin visit to poland but he is presiding over in emergency conference and called forfull support over in emergency conference and called for full support of the provincial government and strong traffic control in low—lying areas

including the tunnel in cheongju. the president will return on monday. we are keeping an eye on the story and there will be plenty more on our website. the uk hasjoined a new trading bloc — as the cptpp. 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 it's benefits to britain. 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. 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 to give you an idea that's about 8p 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 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 the 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. our business correspondent, marc ashdown. he talked about the potential for the uk from the trade pact — but what and who is involved. our reporter nicky schiller has more. 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 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 vying 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. now it's time for a look at today's sport.

hello from the bbc sport centre. let's start at wimbledon then — novak djokovic made a fast start in the men's singles final against carlos alcaraz. chetan pathak is watching it all unfold. novak djokovic totally dominant in the first set but it's game on right now. , . ., the first set but it's game on right now. , . . ., . , ., ., now. drama here at wimbledon on men's finals _ now. drama here at wimbledon on men's finals day, _ now. drama here at wimbledon on men's finals day, the _ now. drama here at wimbledon on men's finals day, the assumption i men's finals day, the assumption that novak djokovic is heading towards that 24th grand slam, equalling roger federer. he took the first set dominantly 6—1 and alcaraz let the nerves settle, come to the adrenaline and the second set went to a tie—break and alcaraz with a stunning backhand winner. 1—1 and alcaraz has a break point in the start of the third set here and can he break at the start? he has, you

can hear the roar to the right of me because most people watching on the big screen are here for the alcaraz show and want an upset, they want him to win his first title and has at least broken the serve at the start of the set. djokovic looking up start of the set. djokovic looking up and asking his coach where my game has gone? he was so in control in the first set and djokovic playing a 35th grand slam final when cook carlos alcaraz is only playing his second. carlos alcaraz has only played for grass court tournaments going into this. we know the numbers that djokovic is chasing, the history he is chasing but we assume here on centre he hasn't lost for a decade, he keeps cool and calm and may start now and again, thinking about sex he lost to her catch but he always finds a way and he's a different type of player and at the moment, the momentum with alcaraz it's one set all and alcaraz has

broken at the start of the third. plenty of drama already and a long way still to go but it's not the only final on those grounds today. great britain's alfie hewett was going for a career grand slam but disappointment for him. disappointment in the end for alfie. we were on call one and he was going for his first wimbledon title just after gordon reid won their doubles title but he will look back on this and say that his game was not where it needed to be. his first service failed him in terms of his returns, wasn't what we release to seeing with him. in the end, it was tokito oda, the 17—year—old who is the world number one. alfie hewett away for a singles title continues. he is a seven time grand slam title winner

but this title continues to elude him and credits to odour who are 17 as i said, from japan, he will now target us open final which he was ready talking about. he said he'd like to have some champagne but at 17 he is too young so will have sparkling water.— 17 he is too young so will have sparkling water. thank you very much. there was a dramatic conclusion to golf's scottish open 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 six—under for the day meant he had the clubhouse 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, which starts on thursday. 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 three wickets, but she was hit for 26 in the final over. the home side are currently 62 without loss. you can follow this on the website but that's all 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. our 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 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. some of the days 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 dehydration. mr netanyahu, who is 73,

was taken to sheba hospital and kept overnight under observation — but officials — say that medical tests revealed no irregularities. 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, 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. 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 some sunny spells. here it is in a bit more detail for the rest of the afternoon. can't rule out the chance of a shower anywhere including some thunder.
