and in sport, novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz are currently tied at one—set—all in the wimbledon men's singles final. 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. #je t�*aime # ouije t�*aime...# 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: because she embodied freedom, because she sang the most beautiful words of our language, jane birkin was a french icon. a complete artist, her voice was as sweet as her engagements were fiery. this is a story we will return to later in the programme. record temperatures are expected across parts of the us today —— with warnings of "dangerous" heat levels in the week ahead. meanwhile much of southern europe is contending with a blistering heatwave which is expected to continue. and in south korea, at least 35 people have died after flash flooding, landslides and power cuts have been

the start of that piece there that we are also looking at the flooding in south korea. with more on this let's speak to reporterje seung lee. it's very late there in south korea but the nature of this emergency i imagine means those rescue efforts must be continuing. the imagine means those rescue efforts must be continuing.— must be continuing. the latest we are hearing _ must be continuing. the latest we are hearing right— must be continuing. the latest we are hearing right now _ must be continuing. the latest we are hearing right now is _ must be continuing. the latest we are hearing right now is that - must be continuing. the latest we| are hearing right now is that about 80% of the water that was in that underground tunnel has not been pumped out. and that the authorities have said that they want to wrap up this rescue operation by tonight. we will have to wait and see if that is possible because divers inside her friend to look for survivors and people are going through all the records of the buses and vehicles trapped in there. and said due to the water being quite muddy it is quite hard to see inside and navigate. so it is looking like it will be a quite long process before

they are able to really get to the bottom of common people were actually trapped in there. so far we know that nine people have died from this incident and the latest footage from looking at the latest footage it seems like it took about 2—3 minutes or up to six minutes, but very little time for the water to completely fill this underpass. now this accident happened when water poured into the tunnel rapidly when a nearby river burst its banks. we are also hearing more about the victims. those nine victims who had their lives taken away in this tragedy. 0ne their lives taken away in this tragedy. one woman was reported to be in her 70s. 0n tragedy. one woman was reported to be in her 70s. on a weekend on a saturday so she was just trying to go to work when all of the people were just resting at home and unfortunately she got stuck in this title when water poured in so

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. frictionless free trade for uk exporters and this is a block which generates about 13% of the roads and come and now the uk is on board and this should amount to about £11 trillion. but it means is no tariffs and also to things, from cheese to whisky, two cars and various bits of machinery and it should, in theory, booster exports and it is worth noting that we did have deals already in place with nine out of 11 of these countries in this block and in terms of what it is worth to our

economy, the governments on estimates are that it will provide gains of about .8% over ten years and that's about 8p for every £100 we generate. and this was all about deals we could sign thanks to leaving the eu and give it a bit of context, the government as a watchdog and estimates the cost of leaving the eu will be a reduction in gdp by about 4% of the next ten years. in gdp by about 4% of the next ten ears. �* , , in gdp by about 4% of the next ten ears. , years. brexit, this is possibly one of man , years. brexit, this is possibly one of many. what — years. brexit, this is possibly one of many, what are _ years. brexit, this is possibly one of many, what are the _ years. brexit, this is possibly one of many, what are the prospectsl years. brexit, this is possibly one | of many, what are the prospects of other trade deals now being signed. talks are ongoing but this took about five years for its inception, we are in talks of india and the us, there is nothing looking likely according to the trade secretary at the moment and that is the greatest prize of all as tory mps put it. signing this deal, this is a block that it's been around the world,

thousands and thousands of miles away. in a climate conscious world we're in now, summer asking if it is sensible to increase trade all over the world is that a place like france and germany and by the way, the amount we trade with these countries adds up to about roughly what we do to germany every year anyway. a bit of a tough sell not just signing the deal today, and they're putting a brave face on it and think it is symbolic and can't get something like agenda signing up for a start business. it's about the potential. these is fast—growing economies that we are growing on the ground floor. 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 0desa. 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.

disaster off alaska in 1989. the nautica, a super—tanker bought by the un specifically for the oil transfer, has now arrived from djibouti. this is a time—lapse of the vessel approaching the safer. the pumping operation is expected to start in the next few days. nick quinn, who�*s advising on the operation, says the extreme heat is not helping: it is extremely hot out there, so, for ambient temperature for arch going out on the boat is going to be 50 to 55 celsius. getting really hot with it quickly, on the human aspect of operating on board. should any oil be spilled during the operation, an additional hazard is the risk of mines along local beaches. leon louw is also providing

advice for the operation: so, these beaches need to be cleared by specialist mining before we can get our specialists to get the clearance. that is our biggest threat should there be a limited number being on to the coast on the beaches, we have to clear the minds before we can actually allow our civilians to clear the oil spots. 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. 0ur political correspondent, georgia roberts, has more. the venezuelan opposition leader, maria corina machado, been moments of thinking about a departure from government and he confirms and talks about his reasons for doing so and talks about the

total that being a governments in such a long time it�*s taken on his family and talks about the fact that he went to the politics in 1999 and talks about the fact that he went to the politics in 1999 in over seven years with this by his bed. he has played a high—profile role in the ukraine warand played a high—profile role in the ukraine war and other things and should have mentioned, the interview just throwing her head to the threats ahead facing the uk and also the intention therefore, to keep beating the drum, if you like, for the uk to keep up its commitment to spend, keep spending gdp on defence. riga in latvia with retired lieutenant colonel glen grant, a senior defence expert, at the baltic security foundation. thank you for your time. can you get your overarching thoughts and been well decision that he will leave his position going forward push a it�*s a bit sad because as because as far as

his work with ukraine has been, he�*s really been a brilliant minister in the study huge amount and a lot of bonus points with the study huge amount and a lot of bonus point— bonus points with a lot of people because this _ bonus points with a lot of people because this recent _ bonus points with a lot of people because this recent talk - bonus points with a lot of people because this recent talk about i because this recent talk about people needing to show them our gratitude is actually made in the story rather than the counterattack thatis story rather than the counterattack that is going on in ukraine at the moment. he that is going on in ukraine at the moment. ., , that is going on in ukraine at the moment. . , , ._ that is going on in ukraine at the moment. . , , ., , moment. he has played a significant role in britain's _ moment. he has played a significant role in britain's position _ moment. he has played a significant role in britain's position when - moment. he has played a significant role in britain's position when it - role in britain�*s position when it comes to the war in ukraine, what are the implications for that invasion choosing to step aside? i think there's quite a lot. when the think there�*s quite a lot. when the first things is, if he is going to subside, the prime minister needs to put another minister in quickly to take over because this is not

something that you can grasp in five minutes. this is a complex war with many strands going on notjust in ukraine but in relationships to everybody else and it would be grossly unfair to ben wallace to stop on monday and a new minister to come in and try to pick that up because that would actually be dangerous for our work and for the work in ukraine. i hope it happens. and they will be dangerous to lose and because he is showing a lot of leadership and many other things that needed leadership and where other countries and ministers of been a bit slow and so, losing him is going to be ashamed. ihe been a bit slow and so, losing him is going to be ashamed.— is going to be ashamed. he was hoinu to is going to be ashamed. he was hoping to take _ is going to be ashamed. he was hoping to take up _ is going to be ashamed. he was hoping to take up the _ is going to be ashamed. he was hoping to take up the mantle i is going to be ashamed. he was hoping to take up the mantle ofj is going to be ashamed. he was - hoping to take up the mantle of nato secretary—general going forward and i was a role he was lightly said to be seeking and do you think is no longer in the running for that, but do you think that influence this

decision was quite likely. ihe decision was quite likely. he would've _ decision was quite likely. he: would've been a super person for the would�*ve been a super person for the job, no question about it as just a shame that there is a feeling that too many of the americans in the system wants something that is a bit more than someone who is strong and might cause them upsets and heart attacks before they go to sleep at night but he would be a good man considering nato is not out of the woods yet as far as going to war as well as russia�*s concern. so we needed someone like him to provide the leadership that might be needed. for a good to have your expertise on bbc news. to wimbledon now, where novak djokovic faces of with carlos alcaraz in the men�*s singles final. the world�*s two best players have been going head to head for the title on centre court. defending champion djokovic is looking for a record—equalling 24th grand slam title and his fifth
