President macron has Pay Tribute describing him as a national treasure. The taliban says its seized Panjshir Province this was the last part of afghanistan that it didnt control. The Panjshir Valley has long been a bastion of taliban resistance. And this is significant for a number of reasons. Over the years fighters have successfully resisted the Soviets In The 80s and the taliban in the 90s. Heres what we think is confirmation that that resistance is over. This was posted online by the taliban and appears to show the taliban flag raised outside the building of panjshir� s regional governor. And this is a taliban spokesperson. Translation we have captured panjshir with the will of god. The local elders and religious leaders have been coordinating with us and our operations went ahead with their help. Some of those who are still wanting to fight are missing at the moment. We are trying to tell them that if they want to join a normal life they are welcome to. Afghanistan is their home, there is no problem from our side but they need to stop fuelling instability. That will be our condition. Not that Resistance Fighters in panjshir are accepting this. They have tweeted. They go on. Many different sources on this story. And we can be confident of the strength of feeling there. This is a man who is from panjshir but now in kabul and says the taliban must still be resisted. Hes spoken anonymously to the bbc. The taliban asked them to surrender. To surrender their freedom, to surrender what ever you have and we will have full control over you. A free person, a free man or a free woman would never surrender to the taliban. They might not stand a chance, they might be defeated but thats an honourable defeat. I would take a bullet and not surrender if i was in panjshir. Lets get help assessing this from our Correspondent Secunder kermani. Weve had those counterclaims. In fact weve even had a few days ago taliban fighters here in kabul launching heavy celebratory gunfire into the Air Thinking that panjshir had fallen. That was not the case back then but it does seem to be the Case Today despite what these Resistance Fighters are saying. I think the fact that the taliban Official Spokesman was confident enough to hold a Press Conference to make this announcement, the fact that Weve Seen Videos coming out from the provincial capital of Panjshir Providence where the taliban have hoisted their white and Black Flag over government buildings. That all seems to suggest that the taliban are now in control of pa njshir. And as they say, now in control of the entire country. Lets not forget they now control more territory than they did even prior to the us invasion which overthrew them in 2001. As all that happens, afghanistan remains top of the international agenda. Heres us Secretary Of State Antony Blinken arriving in qatar for talks about getting aid into afghanistan and getting more people out. Weve also heard from borisjohnson. If the regime in kabul want international Recognition And Access to the billions of dollars currently frozen in overseas accounts. Then we and our friends will hold them to their agreement to prevent afghanistan from ever again becoming an incubatorfor terrorism. And we shall insist on safe passage for anyone who wishes to leave and respect for the rights of women and girls. We willjudge the taliban by their actions not their words. And use every economic, political and diplomatic lever to protect our own countries from harm and to help the afghan people. Borisjohnson there reiterating concerns about the rights of women and girls in afghanistan. Well, some universities there are re opening. But the classes are now being segregated. This picture is from one private university in kabul with A Curtain between male and female students. Heres more from secunder kermani. Private universities have now opened up private universities have now opened up and they are opening up has been accompanied by various rules. Where possible they are trying to get female students to be taught by female students to be taught by female professors and have them segregated from male students who it not theyve got a Curtain Partitioning those female and male students. Female students have been told i believe to arrive a little bit later, leave a little bit earlier the male students. All about trying to enforce a sense of gender segregation. Many in again mcn or many internationally will find it disturbing. Its worth pointing out this is also very different from the taliban back in the 1990s where women werent allowed to get in education, werent allowed to work. But these kind of uncertainties are really dogging the taliban because at the moment we havent had this new government announced. I was at a school the other day there would say the same thing, we dont know exactly yet what kind of rules and regulations there will be governing High School female pupils just yet. And they are waiting for the new government to be announced. Many people here also waiting for the new government to be announced because they hope it will help to improve they hope it will help to improve the economy. A lot of people going through financial hardship at the moment. So when this new government is announced, whenever that is at least i think afghans will be able to put an end to this period of deep uncertainty. That they are currently experiencing. Every day an outside source we bring you the biggest stories from all over the world. Lets turn to guinea in West Africa. The new Coup Leader is promising to form a new government 2a hours after he ousted the President Alpha Conde from power. The 83 year old had led guinea one of the worlds poorest countrys since 2010. Conakry is the capital, and home to 1. 6 million people. Now soldiers from an elite Military Unit and who are calling themselves the national committee for Reoriontation And Development are in control. This is how they intervened at the weekend. Gunfire was reported close to the president ial palace early on sunday. What western diplomat the city told the unrest was triggered by the dismissal of a senior commander in the special forces. That then prompted them to Occu Py Occupy the. Others showed some soldiers on The Street showing people to stay indoors. Next came this video which we cant verify but appears to show the president in a room with the elite troops. We dont know exactly where this is. And Sunday Evening it was far from clear who is in control of the country. Then we heard from the man leading the coup. Skin is head of special forces. After taking the president of the republic, who is currently with us, we have decided to dissolve the current constitution, institutions. We have also decided to dissolve the government and to close Land And Air borders. Its unclear if the entire military backs the coup. But the take over was met by these celebrations in conakry people here are shouting guinea has been freed. The mood continued today. And this was on monday. Translation we were really in a savage state. There was no more security, no more justice. A confused financial state. Everyone was doing whatever they wanted. So i think his arrival as a blessing for guinea because our mothers were in The Streets. I dont how to describe it, like abandoned animals, our children killed. You have no idea, politics destroyed everything. In a word, im relieved. All of this has not come out of the all of this has not come out of the blue. Guinea has long been beset by political instability but tensions came to a head last year when president s Alpha Conde was re elected for a controversial third term in office after pushing through a constitutional change that allowed him to re run. That sparked huge Street Protests and the response was a brutal crackdown. Over 30 died. His critics accuse him of Human Rights Abuses charges he denies. Heres a Founding Member of the Opposition Fndc Party who is in washington. Our country had been in dictatorship for a long while and two 2010 and then we elected Mr Conde we were very happy to be back to democracy. He had his first term and the second term the constitution said he should not have more than two terms. But Mr Conde tried to fool us by using money, buying people, using the military and forced to change the constitution. We know it was illegal, we had a demonstration against it. He killed many people, he arrested many of us. I was lucky to leave the country. But he did by force. So the only option we had now was to wait for his natural death or have something like that. In charge of guinea now is a 41 year Old French legionary colonel dambouya. Hes promising a peaceful transition of power. And this is hisjustification for the takeover. Translation . The socioeconomic situation of the country, the dysfunction of the republican institutions, the instrumentalization ofjustice, the trampling of citizens� rights, the disrespect of the democratic principle, the excessive politicization of the public administration, the financial mismanagement, the poverty and The Endemic corruption have led the republican army of guinea, through the national committee of assembly and development, to take up its responsibilities towards the sovereign people of guinea in its totality. Lets turn to israel. A manhunt is under way for six palestinian Prisoners Whove escaped one of the countrys most secure jails. This is how they did it. The men shared a call and are believed to have spent several months digging this hole in the floor of their bathroom. They reportedly did this using a Rusty Spoon to break through the Concrete Floor and then to tunnel through the Drainage System under the prison walls. And this is where they emerged a small hole in the middle of a Dirt Road outside the prison walls. They covered up the hole with weeds. Farmers then alerted this authorities after noticing suspicious figures running through fields near the prison. This is the the head of the israeli Prison Service. Translation . This wasnt exactly a case of a tunnel being dug. It would appeared that there was an exploitation of the structure of the cells of the space. The escape happened at the Gilboa Prison in northern israel. Its so well known for its security its nickname is � the safe. It opened during the Second Palestinian Uprising in 2004 and hundreds of palestinians are detained there. According to the Prison Service those being held in Gilboa Over Security Offences are being relocated, fearing other tunnels have been dug. All six of the men who escaped are members of Palestinian Militant groups. Heres more from the bbc� s tom bateman. One of them a very high profile individuals noted by both israelis and palaces it ends. He along with four others have been jailed and palaces it ends. He along with four others have beenjailed inc. Palestinians. In Life Sentences in connection to deadly attacks on israelis. Now there is a man how. They remain On The Run and manhunt. Israel has deployed a very large number of forces including police and army troops. There are Sniffer Dogs on the Ground And Idf Army Aircraft searching for the man. The area of those city where the men are from and the occupied West Bank is now been effectively closed down for the many extra checkpoints are in place. In israel he securities or speaking to the israeli media described this as a major Security And Intelligence failure. This is now an investigation going on into Health Physics could happen. As other Palestinian Militant groups, they are hailing theirs, describing they are hailing theirs, describing the actions is heroic. We turn to an important development on brexit. Checks on goods were due to be tightened at The End of this month. But now the Uk Government has announced that the current system of less intensive checks is being extended indefinitely. While it continues talks with the eu to find a permanent solution. Heres a statement from Britains Brexit Mr David Frost he says. This is a complicated aspect to the brexit story. Lets get some help explaining it. Heres ourfiling correspondent emma vardy. Weve kind of been here before was a big problem to spend is this looming introduction of lots of checks and paperwork on goods arriving at Northern Irelands ports. And because lots of businesses here in Northern Ireland say particularly say we are just not ready for it, if we were to bring this and now there would be huge problems but usually with the supply of food to northern island put up what we saw back in march and june was Uk Government pushing back the deadline to the introduction of all that new red tape. What happened today is the Uk Governments now said look, were actually in a indefinitely. We are having with carl. What they said is a standstill. While the uk and the eu renegotiate to sort all this out. Just a reminder, why is this happening, that big Brexit Agreement there were Beach Exit northern island sports crossing the Irish Sea to avoid checks over that sensitive Land Border instead. If thats the Uk Governments perspective help me understand what political leaders are saying in Northern Ireland and also in the Republic Of Ireland. Lets take Northern Ireland furs. This really divides opinion here. Its been a source of much tension. Unionist parties in northern island absolutely detested Northern Ireland protocol. They say having special rules for ireland and a new board of an Irish Sea undermines the very britishness of Northern Ireland and some peoples view. Unionist Saviour Undermining Northern Islands constitutional heart of the uk. On the other hand other party say we are making the best of a bad situation, we didnt want brexit, youve gotta make this work. When it comes to the eu and the Republic Of Ireland we heard from the Deputy Prime Minister of the irish Republic Today saying look, there is no appetite from the eu to renegotiate that. The Eu Position is that the Uk Government signed up to the northern Island Protocol and agreed this all as part of the brexit deal. How can they now say we can implement to . The eu will say we will give you flexibility or may find easements to make some of these bits of red Tape And Bureaucracy is zero to operate. But we are not renegotiating the whole agreement. Those two sizes of red Tape And Bureaucracy is zero to operate. But red Tape And Bureaucracy is zero to o erate. �. ,. , operate. But we are not renegotiating operate. But we are not renegotiating the operate. But we are not renegotiating the whole j operate. But we are not renegotiating the whole agreement. Those two sides look very far apart. If leo is saying that and say we are not doing a complete negotiation what leaders do he and the eu have at their disposal to end says that that doesnt happen . For at their disposal to end says that that doesnt happen . At their disposal to end says that that doesnt happen . For one the eu is sa in , that doesnt happen . For one the eu is saying. This that doesnt happen . For one the eu is saying. This is that doesnt happen . For one the eu is saying, this is a that doesnt happen . For one the eu is saying, this is a legal is saying, this is a legal treaty and the uk signed up to it. If the uk were to keep on overwriting things unilaterally and upsetting the eu and like that the eu is already warned that could be other consequences for parts of the Brexit Trade Deal that was already negotiated. Its already started legal action against the uk for previously pushing back these deadlines of its own accord. That legal action is actually on hold. So the two sides can keep on talking. But the eu is certainly saying if you keep on doing something that goes against, a breach of what we all signed up to that we will be consequences for the uk. On the Uk Side of course the brexit minister, Lord Frost has been saying we believe that the disruption of problems have already been caused in Northern Ireland as a result of the protocol. Have reached the threshold for overwriting it of our own accord. Thats called triggering article 16. It still considered to be really the most drastic option. So the Uk Government isnt prepared to push that button just yet. They are going to keep on talking. It is still on the table. Still on the table. Since i spoke to emma a few still on the table. Since i spoke to emma a few minutes still on the table. Since i spoke to emma a few minutes ago still on the table. Since i spoke to emma a few minutes ago it still on the table.

Since i spoke to emma a few minutes ago it now had a response from the european commission. Here it is by reuters news agency. We are told the commissioner says it will not agree to a note two renegotiation of the northern Island Protocol. I think we should point out is not saying theyll go ahead with infringement proceedings was of the eu is its options open. Couple of minutes ago it talking about this coup in guinea in West Africa. Wed heard from the leader of the coup a few moments ago accusing the Government President Conde of trampling on citizens� rights and providing conde of trampling on citizens rights and providing corruption.

The African Union has a habit to always guinea. The African Union has a habit to always condemn habit to always condemn constitutional coups. So this one is constitutional coups. So this one is constitutional because it was led by Military Unit that was formed by President Conde to protect him from insurgency. They are the ones that are leading in insurgency now. So from the pictures we� ve seen yesterday on social media, Doctor Conde has been taken in a safer place, he� s been seen by a doctor. So that supposed to be that he� s in good health but we have to remember, he is an 83 year old man and he certainly can� t bear the conditions in the jail or in a prison.

These pictures are the taliban says confirmation that the resistance is over. These are the taliban flag being raised where the regional governor is based. The taliban says that� s The End of the matter, Resistance Fighters and said that� s not the case. Most assessments suggest this is a significant breakthrough. I� ll be back with you in a couple of minutes. Well, summer is not quite over yet. Southerly winds are expected to bring us some really warm air from the southern climes over the next few days. It really is going to be quite a short spell of hot weather and then after that it looks as those thunderstorms will be heading our way. High pressure is dominating the weather across much of europe. This low pressure here is approaching us butjust as head of it with the winds spiralling in towards it it� s pushing up that heat from the south. So quiet, Clear Skies overnight, pretty balmy as well with the southerly push of air. Temperatures early in the morning will be around 15 degrees in glasgow and not far off that in belfast. In fact, north or so it� s going to be every bit as mild on tuesday morning. Here� s the Sunshine Right from the word go. Clear skies across much england and wales, although some of us could wake up to a bit of Mist And Fog but that should clear very quickly through the morning. How warm . Most of us will be in the mid to high 20s, look at that, 27 degrees expected in hull. But most of us will hit around the 30 c. Unusually we� ve not had 30 celsius in this country since the 23rd Ofjuly, that� s the last time the mercury hit 30. Here� s wednesday, that low pressure to the South West of us is approaching. Ahead of it we still have some pretty warrior. Many eastern and central areas will be enjoying, i say enjoy if you like the heat, the warm and sunny weather. But out towards the southwest thunderstorms are looming, some pretty big downpours in places, typical summer weather, really. Here Temperatures Dropping only 19 in plymouth whereas temperature is still not far off 13 degrees for example across the midlands. And then Wednesday Night into thursday this thundery Weather Front will push ever eastwards and northwards, so many of us will get showers. Plenty of them out toward the north western countries. A real mixed bag on the way on thursday and no more reds on the weather map, or that burnt oranges or slightly more yellow colours there. Orange and yellow colours towards the west indicating lower tempuratures. You can see that big drop in temperatures as we go through the course of the week. The weekend at this stage is looking rather low 20s, i think for most of us. Bye bye. Hello, i� m ros atkins, this is outside source. The this is outside source. Taliban is saying it� s rule. T taliban the taliban is saying it� s rule. The taliban flag raised fighters their dispute the claims and say the resistance will continue. Some students are back in university. This is how it looks and carbo and many women Sag Radiated by A Curtain. Also, the next Half Hour will hear how relatives of the nearly 300 people who died on plate during that flight and a seven have started testifying at a Murder Trial in The Netherlands. And the french Film Star has died for the President Macron has paid tribute describing him as a natural treasure. Will be live from paris to hear more. A court in The Netherlands has begun Hearing Testimony from families whose relatives died on Flight Mh 17. It was shot down over ukraine in 2014. And all 298 people on board were killed. The plane was struck as the conflict in Eastern Ukraine flared. Russia backed rebels had seized the area. And several investigations have blamed those rebels though no one has ever been brought tojustice. Last year, a criminal trial began. Four men three russians and a ukrainian are being tried for murder though none are present. And only one of them is legally representated. The first relative to speak was Ria Van Der Steen who lost her father and stepmother. Translation the first time that i had to say goodbye was on the 17th Ofjuly 2014, when i received that horrendous Telephone Call with the unbelievable message that the aircraft had been shot down. Disbelief, panic, chaos, waiting. Waiting for more, waiting longer, but also hope. Hope that it wasn� t so and hope that there would be a call and that they would return home. At that point in time, one really couldn� t say a true goodbye, and if you can� t say goodbye then you cannot really accept death. Vanessa rizk lost both her parents, albert and maree, as they travelled back to australia from a european holiday. She had this message for the perpetrators. Translation it is now time for conviction. I plead to the court that the victims and their families now receive justice. To the perpetrators, seven years ago, you broke up my family in the worst way imaginable. Seven years on, i am determined that you will never, ever, break my Spirit And Capacity to live and love just as my dear parents would have wanted me to. Over the next three weeks a total of 90 families from eight countries will give testimony. Two thirds of the victims were dutch which is why The Netherlands has been central to the investigations that have followed. Here� s thejudge, speaking before today� s testimonies. The today� s testimonies. Court has repeatedly observet that the court has repeatedly observed that these criminal proceedings are highly emotional. Firstly, of course, because they have lost one or more people that they of love. And additionally because they died because the aeroplane they were in was shot down. The reason why the Ma 17 which shutdown is determining who is response before it and it was possible that the heart of a lengthy and complicated investigation. The fact that the investigation has been lengthy and complicated has given prosecutors enough evidence they believe to go to court and win convictions. And as our correspondent Anna Holligan explains they hope further witnesses will come forward. All of this is designed to try to remind people what happened that day, to encourage the judges to give a tough sentence, but, most of all, many of them are hoping it mayjust compel those who still have evidence to come forward and share it with the investigators who are still trying to ascertain exactly what happened that day and who was responsible. The four suspects accused of mass murder, the killing of 298 people on board, are not in court. They� re accused of bringing the missile across the border from russia into Eastern Ukraine. The surFace To air missile. Ten days have been set aside to hear from the families to ensure the enormity of their loss is reflected in this. That� s three weeks. Then there� ll be a chance again for the prosecution and the defence and we are expecting a verdict in this case later next year. Now foreign troops are out of afghanistan but this issue of whether they will need to go back very much remains.

Because of the caliphate rising projecting falls outside of iraq, killing americans, killing the fence, deck the british so yes it will be a cauldron for radical islamic behaviour. Projecting force outside of iraq, killing americans, killing the french, attacking the british. That� s a republican. Nxt this is Tony Blair who was the uk� s Prime Minister when the foreign forces went into afghanistan after the 9 11 attacks. Here� s Mr Blair on the current threat from islamist terrorism. Counterterrorism on its own won� t remove an entrenched threat. We need some boots on the ground. Naturally, our preference is for the boots to be local, but that will not always be local, but that will not always be possible. Western societies and their political leaders have become, quite understandably, deeply adverse to casualties amongst our Armed Forces. This is not a problem for the Armed Forces themselves, who are brave and extraordinary people. But it is now an overwhelming political constraint to any commitment to western boots on the ground except for special forces. There was one uk Prime Minister. Here are two more. Here� s borisjohnson being asked by his Predecessor Theresa may about the possiblity of an increaed risk of terrorism. Does my right honourable friend agree that as a result of nato forces withdrawing from afghanistan the Terrorist Threat has increased and will he confirm that all those involved in Counterterrorism Work here in the uk will be given the necessary support to ensure they can keep us safe .

The question remains as to the extent to which this is the case and the degree to which the taliban are serious about establishing a Government System that is able to tamp down some of that extremist threat.

Over the horizon does invite more risk and with that less certainty in terms of how accurate you can be and how comprehensive you can be in your both monitoring and eventual targeting of Terrorist Threats so it is certainly not preferable to having some presence on the ground, but certainly in the current context i think it is the best option and is one that is being looked at very closely.

His argument was the nature of the threats as a vault in afghanistan isn� t such a sort of threats as it once was. Does that fit with your analysis . Despite the nature of the threats has evolved. It may or may not come to pass but it certainly made a difference that they were, you know, Tens Of Thousands of us forces and nato forces in afghanistan for a number of years that were able to tamp down the threat. I think right now as we go through what has been a chaotic transitional period in afghanistan the nature of the threat remains to be seen. Certainly there are extremist elements out in the world now who are taking some motivation from the taliban� s taking over of afghanistan and could come in all likelihood, to once again use afghanistan as a sanctuary so we need to see how things play out but it remains to be seen.

The one year old sisters underwent a 12 Hour Operation that took months of preparation and involved dozens of experts. Claire sedman reports. Sisters Face To face for the first time after surviving a miraculous marathon operation. Conjoined at the back of their heads from Birth A year ago, Separation Surgery was meticulously planned between major Blood Vessels in their heads. A very delicate task one bleed could be catastrophic. Translation of course, after all the preparationsl and all of the models we have built in a designated surgery room, we specifically prepared for this thing with a surgical Theatre And Vr of the twins and with a 3d Model we prepared in advance. Where the two were attached, there was no skin and skull, so doctors needed the babies to essentially grow more skin. Inflatable Silicon Bags were inserted into their heads and gently expanded to stretch their skin slowly. This meant that when doctors reconstructed their skulls after the separation, they had excess skin, which could be used to seal their new heads. We� re just finishing the twins� separation procedure. It has gone extremely well. I� m delighted how well the whole team� s done. It� s an excellent team here and it� s been a real pleasure to be a part of it. Medics say this type of surgery, a first for israel, has only ever happened 20 times worldwide. Separating them so young, they say there is now a high chance they will live normal lives already breathing and eating on their own.

This is outside source live from the Bbc Newsroom. Our Lead Story is . The taliban say they� ve seized Panjshir Province, consolidating their control of the whole of afghanistan. But resistance leaders say the fight is not over. Another story coming into the Bbc Newsroom, brazilian football legend, pele, has had surgery on saturday to remove a tumour in his colon. The 80 year old has now been in hospital in Sao Paulo for nearly a week. The three time World Cup Winner says he� s doing well and has thanked people for their support. Let� s go to belarus which has jailed two Opposition Leaders who challenged last year� s discredited president ial election. The European Union has called it a blatant disrespect for human rights. Here they both are in custody. Maxim znak is on the left, Maria Koleznikova on the right. They� ve been given 10 and 11 years in prison respectively. Theyjoined an Opposition Council after President Alexander Lukashenko claimed Victory A year ago. For that they were accused of trying to stage a coup. They both described the trial as a sham. You may remember that election last year was denounced by the eu, us and uk as neitherfree norfair. Tens of thousands of people protested and many thousands of people were detained. The head of the opposition, svetla na tikhanovskaya, who� s now in exile has tweeted. She says maria and maxim aren� T Guilty of anything. She calls It Terror against belarusians who dare to stand up to the regime and says they won� T Stop until everybody is free in belarus. Let� s get some analysis on this from our Moscow Corresponent Sarah rainsford. They have been accused of plotting to seize power, they� ve been accused of extremism, but, really, what they are on trial for is their role in those mass protests that broke out last year in belarus and took over The Streets there. Certainly their supporters have said today that they have been persecuted for politics. They have said that they have been found guilty of wanting to change belarus for the better. But this was a closed trial. Nobody from the public was allowed in. In fact, no members of either family was allowed into court. And defence lawyers were never allowed themselves to give evidence there against the two opposition figures who were on trial. So even today as these heavy sentences are handed down it� s difficult to know what exactly the case against them actually was beyond their political role in those protests last year. The protesters have been cleared from The Street, that� s clear. I was there just a few weeks ago, and we used to see hundreds of thousands of people dressed in Red And White on The Streets on a regular basis. They� ve gone, all those Red And White flags are gone. People have been terrified back into the houses are indeed into exile. I think many people believe that� s exactly why the trial has taken place. They believe this is about sending a signal to protesters that it� s dangerous to challenge alexander lukashenko. He is in power, he plans to say there is far as anyone can tell, and he will brook no challenge anymore. So many people are basically afraid now to show any sign of criticism towards him. One of the great figures of classic french cinema, jean paul belmondo, has died he was 88. Belmondo began his Acting Career in the theatre but became a key figure in french new wave cinema, making him a Household Name in france as well as gaining international recognition. Let� s get more now from our Paris Correspondent hugh schofield. The people who haven� t had the pleasure of watching him, tell us more about what he brought to the scheme goal screen.

For people who dont remember him the things he i scheme goal screen. For people who dont remember him the things he is don� t remember him the things he is most known for those early 1960s films like breathless in which he played a kind of gangster against Jean See Berg Set against paris from luke. It was a new Wave Film and that was his Breakthrough Moment and he played a character he kind of rift on for the rest of his career which was a lovable tough guy with a physical Mash Up face put a smile that shone through it and a cheeky laid back charm that was irresistible and back in the 60s it was a time when this kind of New Look france, modern france, was becoming many do might very fashionable around the world. Time magazine ran a feature on it and there were people on the front cover representing this new generation. It was a time of all sorts of great actors in the cinema. He made dozens of films after that. Most of them did not travel abroad but they are well known in france and in all of them he was the sort of Action Hero with a smile and with a cheeky look and he really was a very well loved figure in france and the slick name he had, he was known as le magnifique, named after one of his films and when president mcmahon said today that he was a kind of national treasure he was absolutely right. People look back on that either of cinema as being a great One And Belmondo was one of its greatest practitioners. Above all, they loved his charm, cheek and physicality. As he got older and look to new generations of actors and Cinnamon Directors commenting france did he remain enrolled in a french Cinema Scheme or was he very much rooted in the bodies of the sixties . People have said he was a new Wave Actor but it was not strictly correct. His first films were in the new wave but as time moved on he moved into much more mainstream cinema, adventure films, action films, the man from rio, for example, in which he plays a role which is said to have inspired spielberg in raiders of the lost ark. He was a great Action Hero because he did all his own stunts and people loved him. He stopped, though, two decades ago because he did have a Mini Stroke when he was in his Late 60s and thus effectively ended his career but he was still, you know, still. On television you will see his films revised revived and his films are behaving occasionally on television and in shows and whatever he did france stop because this was a rare glimpse of someone they are loved and that face, that big thick, meaty face of his with instantly familiar. Set a rare glimpse of someone they all loved. Thanks for talking to us. Hugh schofield live in paris.

Well, summer is not quite over yet. Southerly winds are expected to bring us some really warm air from the southern climes over the next few days. It really is going to be quite a short spell of hot weather and then after that it looks as those thunderstorms will be heading our way. High pressure is dominating the weather across much of europe. This low pressure here is approaching us butjust ahead of it with the winds spiralling in towards it it� s pushing up that heat from the south. So quiet, Clear Skies overnight, pretty balmy as well with this southerly push of air. Temperatures early in the morning will be around 15 degrees in glasgow and not far off that in belfast. In fact, north or so it� s going to be every bit as mild on tuesday morning. So, here� s the Sunshine Right from the word go. Clear skies across much of england and wales, although some of us could wake up to a bit of Mist And Fog but that should clear very quickly through the morning. How warm . Most of us will be in the mid to the High 20s Look at that, 27 degrees expected in hull. But one or Two Of Us will hit around 30c. Actually, unusually, we� ve not had 30 celsius in this country since the 23rd Ofjuly that� s the last time the mercury hit 30. Here� s wednesday, that low pressure to the South West of us is approaching. Ahead of it we still have some pretty warm air. Many eastern and central areas will be enjoying i say enjoy if you like the heat the warm and sunny weather. But out towards the southwest thunderstorms are looming, some pretty big downpours in some places, typical summer weather, really. Here Temperatures Dropping, only 19 in plymouth whereas temperature is still not far off 30 degrees, for example, across the midlands. And then Wednesday Night into thursday this thundery Weather Front will push ever eastwards and northwards, so many of us will get some showers. Plenty of them out toward the north western countries. A real mixed bag on the way on thursday and no more reds on the weather map, or those burnt oranges slightly more yellow colours there. Orangey yellow colours indicating lower temperatures. You can see that big drop in temperatures as we go through the course of the week. The weekend at this stage is looking rather low 20s, i think for most of us. Bye bye. This is Bbc News.
