BANGKOK – Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress, singer, and erotic symbol of the 1950s and 1960s, has died at the age of 91. The news was announced this Sunday by the foundation that bears her name on social media.

Singer Chris Rea, Known for ‘Driving Home for Christmas,’ Dies at 74

The star of films such as And God Created Woman (1956), The Truth (1960), and Contempt (1963), Bardot was one of the last great living legends of French cinema, following the death of Alain Delon in 2024 at the age of 88.

The French news agency AFP reported that she passed away at her residence, La Madrague, in Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. The cause of death has not been disclosed at this time.

Alongside her short but meteoric film career, Brigitte Bardot—widely known by her initials “BB”—also enjoyed a successful and longer-lasting musical career. She is famously remembered for the single Je t’aime… moi non plus, originally recorded in 1967 with Jane Birkin and her former lover, the enfant terrible of French song, Serge Gainsbourg. The track, featuring Bardot’s sensual moans, continues to stir emotions decades later.

After retiring from cinema, the celebrated actress began a second life as an activist dedicated to animal protection. Her photographs from Canada in the 1970s, denouncing the seal hunt, remain iconic.

In recent years, Bardot had been living reclusively at her two properties in the resort town of Saint-Tropez, facing serious difficulty walking and staying out of the public eye.

Political reactions were swift. French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Bardot embodied “a life of freedom” that brought “universal brilliance to France.”

“Her films, her voice, her dazzling glory, her initials, her sorrows, her generous passion for animals, her face made into Marianne; Brigitte Bardot embodied a life of freedom. A French existence, a universal brilliance. She moved us. We mourn a legend of the century,” Macron wrote on X.

    Pakistan hockey team eased past South Korea 3-1 in the opening match of the four-test series at the Naseer Bunda Hockey Stadium on Thursday, marking the first time in 20 years that an international hockey team has toured Pakistan for an official bilateral series. The 13th-ranked Green Shirts dominated the 22nd-ranked Korea throughout the match. Sufyan scored twice, while newly appointed captain Abu Bakar Mahmood added a goal to cap off an excellent performance. South Korea managed just one goal in reply. The series marks a significant milestone for Pakistan hockey, which has struggled to attract international teams to its shores over the past two decades due to security concerns and the sport’s declining profile in the country. Earlier, President of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), Mohyuddin Ahmad Wani welcomed the Korean team’s arrival and described the tour as a landmark moment for the revival of international hockey in Pakistan. “This is a proud and memorable occasion for Pakistan hockey. After almost two decades, we are once again welcoming an international team to our home grounds,” he said. “We extend a warm welcome to the Korean National Hockey Team and are confident that this series will strengthen the longstanding friendship between our two countries while promoting high-quality international hockey.” The second match of the series will be played on 2 August, followed by the third and fourth fixtures on 4 and 7 August, respectively. The series is seen as a crucial step in Pakistan’s efforts to revive the sport and attract more international competition in the future.

    Pakistan’s external debt rises by Rs1.24 trillio…

    ByJustpaste.in

      Pakistan’s external debt has started rising again after recording a decline during the first nine months of the 2025-26 fiscal year, with official data showing a sharp increase during the final quarter. According to government documents, the country’s external debt increased by more than Rs1.24 trillion between March and June 2026. During the same three-month period, the government’s total debt rose by around Rs3.11 trillion, reflecting a significant increase in both external and domestic borrowing. The data shows that the government’s domestic debt increased by more than Rs1.87 trillion from March to June 2026. As a result, total domestic debt reached approximately Rs59.44 trillion by June 2026. Pakistan’s total external debt stood at around Rs22.96 trillion in March 2026. By the end of June, the figure had climbed to approximately Rs24.20 trillion, marking an increase of more than Rs1.24 trillion in just three months. The latest increase reverses the downward trend recorded earlier in the fiscal year. Pakistan reduced its external debt by around Rs207 billion during the first three months of 2026. From June 2025 to March 2026, the country’s external debt declined by approximately Rs458 billion.   The largest increase during the latest quarter came from long-term external borrowing. Government figures show that long-term external debt stood at around **Rs19.72 trillion in March 2026**, but increased to approximately **Rs21.77 trillion by June**, representing an increase of more than Rs2 trillion. In contrast, short-term external debt declined significantly during the same period. It fell by around Rs506 billion over the three months, partially offsetting the increase in long-term borrowing. The figures indicate that while Pakistan had made progress in reducing its external debt earlier in the fiscal year, borrowing picked up considerably during the final quarter. The sharp rise in long-term external liabilities remains a key factor behind the overall increase in the country’s external debt.
