Star Wars health and safety boss with MBE for ‘cultural awareness’ sues after sacking for calling colleague ‘white man’

A STAR Wars health and safety boss with an MBE for cultural awareness is suing after being sacked for calling a colleague “white man”.

Sadi Khan, who worked on The Acolyte, was the first woman of colour employed as a head of health and safety on a Walt Disney series.

The single mum from Nottingham is suing the production company for unfair dismissal after being sacked for referring to a colleague as a “white man”.

She worked for Blue Stockings, which is owned by the Disney subsidiary Lucasfilm.

She is suing Blue Stockings for unfair dismissal, sex and race discrimination, harassment and victimisation after she was dismissed for gross misconduct in November 2022.

Ms Khan also worked as the health and safety co-ordinator on Disney’s controversial remake of Snow White.

The mum, who is of Pakistani heritage, claims she was sacked after blowing the whistle on unsafe working conditions.

She was awarded an MBE in 2018 for cultural and religious awareness and training and services to the vulnerable.

Ms Khan told an employment tribunal in Reading: “If it was Tom Cruise saying they have to take health and safety seriously, they’d have listened to him, but they took no notice of me,” The Times reported.

She claimed there was a “campaign” against her.

The tribunal heard Ms Khan was sacked for referring to a bloke who was hired in a more senior role as a “white man” and for “making inappropriate comments” to her colleagues.

But she insisted she said it in a “factual” way, and didn’t mean for it to be derogatory.

Blue Stockings denies the allegations, and the case continues.

YouTuber seduction coach linked to Putin’s oligarch pal probed after ‘urging fans to grope women and ask for sex’

A RUSSIAN YouTube seduction coach with links to one of Putin’s close oligarchs is facing investigation – after he urged viewers to “grope women and ask for sex”.

Alexander Kirillov is being investigated on suspicion of inducement to rape after he instructed men to grab women in the street by the buttocks and demand sex.

Self-proclaimed “seduction guru” Kirillov, known online as Alex Lesley, gave the sickening advice to fans on his YouTube channel – which has nearly 100,000 subscribers.

Following the depraved remarks, numerous complaints from women reached Russian authorities – claiming they had been harassed by his followers.

Kirillov, who previously made headlines for being embroiled in a political scandal involving a female escort and a close Putin oligarch, currently lives outside Russia.

The political controversy in question was linked to Belarusian escort Anastasia Vashukevich, 35, and Russian energy tycoon Oleg Deripaska.

It came to light after Vashukevich claimed to have evidence that Deripaska and Russia‘s deputy prime minister were part of a Kremlin conspiracy to skew the 2016 US presidential election in favour of Donald Trump.

Vashukevich revealed on Instagram that she had been on Deripaska’s yacht in 2016 alongside the deputy prime minister Sergei Prikhodko when a secret meeting was held concerning the plot.

But both Deripaska and Prikhodko denied wrongdoing.

Following her claims Vashukevich, who known online as Nastya Rybka, was arrested.

At the time of her detention she was in Thailand, where she had been running a bizarre four-day “sex training” class alongside none other than Kirillov.

As part of the “sex seminars” – which participants reportedly paid £1,000 to take part in – the pair claimed they could teach people how to make their partners climax.

They spent nine months in custody – before a Thai court handed them a suspended 18-month sentence for soliciting and running an illegal “sex training course”.

Vashukevich and Kirillov were then deported to Moscow in January 2019 and arrested – but later released.

Upon their arrival back in Russia, shocking footage showed Vashukevich, appearing to have been sedated, struggling as four men pushed her into a wheelchair and then carried her off.

The current controversy came to light last week when at least 10 young women went public saying they had being groped by Kirillov’s fans in Moscow.

Some claimed that the encounters were filmed by accomplices as the men groped them and asked for sex.

Two Russian MPs then complained to higher authorities before the Investigative Committee opened a case against Kirillov.

They said he had “induced his followers to commit illegal acts of a sexual character towards female residents of the capital”.

Two men have already been slapped with 15‑day jail terms for hooliganism following the reports, and a third suspect was remanded in custody in connection with the case against Kirillov.

Twisted Kirillov, a Belarusian, told Moskva‑24 from an undisclosed location that he was not fazed by the allegations.

He said: “If we lived in America or Germany, God forbid, then it could result in serious consequences.

“Thankfully, we are in Russia.”

Billionaire Deripaska, was once estimated to be Russia’s wealthiest man by Forbes, became notorious in the US for his alleged ties to political consultant Paul Manafort.

Manafort was convicted of tax fraud, bank fraud and failure to report foreign bank accounts.

These convictions stemmed from an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.

Deripaska was also previously reported to be tyrant Putin’s “favourite” industrialist.

And the low-profile oligarch also once hosted Lord Peter Mandelson, now the British Ambassador to the US, on his private yacht in Corfu.

But Deripaska was hit by UK sanctions following a response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Cafe loved by Princess Diana named in her honour could lose licence after employing illegal migrants

A CAFE once loved by Princess Diana and named in her honour could lose its license after employing illegal migrants.

The café also sometimes paid employees with food and was being unlawfully used to smoke shisha in a shocking find by police.

The Café Diana first opened its doors close to Kensington Palace, west London, in 1989.

It became a favourite of the princess after it was named in her honour.

Shortly before her death in 1997 she had sent a touching letter to the café’s owner which said: “I wanted to write personally, to thank you so very much for the beautiful flowers you sent for my birthday.”

Abdul-Basit Daoud, the owner, fondly recalled how Diana first visited the café days after it opened.

He said: “She started coming more often, bringing the kids here sometimes for breakfast.

“The kids used to take breakfast, like English breakfast.

“Herself, she used to have cappuccino, cake, some croissants, something like this but she sometimes had English breakfast too.”

Dozens of photographs of the princess adorn the walls, including one she herself had presented as a gift, as the cafe is now a popular tourist destination.

But the Home Office has now applied for the establishment’s license to be revoked.

During four inspections between 2019 and 2024, seven illegal workers from Albania and Egypt were found.

The basement was also being unlawfully used to smoke shisha.

One migrant had been employed there for more than two years, according to an immigration enforcement report.

Other workers said they received food instead of pay for their work.

This “raised concerns about labour exploitation in the premises”.

One chef was found to have been “paid in food” and had arrived in the UK on a business visa that expired in 2015.

Owner Daoud oversaw recruitment, checking the right-to-work and immigration status of new staff members.

He told officers that staff were paid in cash and some received free food in return for working at the cafe.

The inspectors report stated: “Café Diana has been found employing illegal workers.

“This business has clearly failed to meet the prevention of crime and disorder and public safety objectives.”

As a result, the café was slapped with a £135,000 fine in April for illegally employing three migrants.

Customers were also found to be smoking shisha in the basement during an enforcement visit in May with police and trading officers.

They seized 45 unlabelled tubs of shisha tobacco.

Lawyers for the café’s owners said in a letter to the council: “Immediately upon becoming aware of the reported issues, our client undertook swift and decisive action by evicting the tenant responsible for the unauthorised activities.”

The café has now suggested suspending its license for three months.

This is to ensure that “right-to-work” immigration checks are carried out on all staff members.

Starving newborn baby left home alone for days after mum died is rescued last-minute by cops ‘clinging to life’

A “STARVING” newborn has been rescued after its mother died and it spent days alone without food or water.

Cops found the baby “clinging to life” when they visited the house in south Phoenix, Arizona.

They were responding to a calls from neighbours who were concerned because the mother had not been seen for several days.

Bodycam footage shows officers calling into the house from the yard, and then breaking to door down when they received no response.

A tiny baby wrapped in blankets can be seen lying in the bed alongside its mother’s body.

An officer puts the child in a stroller before medics take over and deliver life-saving care.

Phoenix Police said: “Inside the home, they discovered the mother had passed away and her baby was still alive, severely dehydrated and clinging to life.

“The baby was taken to the hospital in critical condition.”

Investigators described the infant as “visibly emaciated”.

Cops added: “We are happy to report the infant’s condition has improved greatly, and they’re expected to survive.”

Officers told Arizona Family they had peered through the window and seen a woman who was not moving inside the home.

Phoenix Police spokesperson Sgt. Brian Bower said: “The mother had passed away while the child was still on the bed still curled up where the mother had left them.

“It wasn’t learned until well after the fact from doctors and staff at the hospital that if the police officers didn’t immediately provide aid and didn’t immediately go into the apartment, the child may not have survived much longer.”

Bower praised the “smart, immediate actions of the officers as well as the neighbours seeing something unusual and calling in for help”.

The baby is now being looked after by the Department of Child Safety and police are investigating how the mother died.

The miracle rescue in Phoenix follows a horrific discovery in Madrid, Spain of a newborn who had been decapitated – prompting a manhunt.

The baby girl was born alive – and was just five days old when she was brutally killed, doctors confirmed.

Her tragic remains were found in several plastic bags in a recycling centre in Madrid, Spain.

A repulsed worker made the harrowing discovery at a garbage plant in Loeches.

The horror crime is being investigated by Spanish police who have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

The crime dates back to December 12, 2024 – and tests have now revealed the terrible sequence of events.

The girl was born alive and was murdered, almost certainly with a knife, reports say.

Flamengo 2 Bayern Munich 4: Harry Kane gets two, including long-range stunner, as Germans reach Club World Cup quarters

HARRY KANE bagged a deadly double to power Bayern Munich into a blockbuster Club World Cup quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The England skipper rifled home from 25 yards on nine minutes to double Bayern’s lead following an early own goal from Flamengo’s Erick Pulgar.

And it was the 31-year-old’s typically classy finish on 73 minutes that finally killed off Brazilian giants Flamengo after they’d threatened a comeback.

Vincent Kompany’s men were in total control for long periods, even though they were pegged back in the 32nd minute when Gerson smashed an unstoppable shot past Manuel Neuer.

Brazilian hopes were dented again just four minutes before the break after German international Leon Goretzka curled in a beauty from 20 yards.

Bayern were bossing proceedings at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.

But Flamengo, coached by ex-Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis, and backed by thousands of fans here, were given hope on 54 minutes.

Former Crystal Palace ace Michael Olise was adjudged to have handled in the box by English ref Michael Oliver, and Jorghino, signed at the end of the season from Arsenal, rolled in from the spot.

The South Americans sensed blood and went for the kill, trying to force extra time.

Kane, though, is desperate to land his second piece of silverware of the season after landing the Bundesliga title.

And his clinical strike with 17 minutes left took his tally for this campaign to 41 goals from 50 games – and set up a meeting with Champions League winners PSG in Atlanta next Saturday.

Kane was asked about the prospect of facing PSG in a post-game interview with DAZN.

He said: “It’s going to be another tough game. PSG have had an amazing season.

“We played them earlier in the year and we came out on top so we have to use that energy and that feeling.

“We feel like we can beat anyone when we’re at our level.

“We are going to have to recover well and get ready for it.”
