BMW bosses unfairly dismissed disabled worker after spying on him
A disabled BMW worker was discriminated against and unfairly dismissed after bosses authorised covert surveillance on him, believing he was exaggerating his back pain, a tribunal has found. Mohamed Kerita, who worked in the firm's manufacturing factory, suffered with back pain from 2017, the tribunal in Reading heard. In March 2023, a physiotherapist emailed the absence manager Richard Darvill to say that Kerita had been signed off work by his GP for two months. The physiotherapist said he could not explain the level of pain Kerita was experiencing and why he remained unfit for work, the tribunal heard. Darvill and the HR manager Akhil Patel instructed the security firm G4S to carry out surveillance of the claimant, which the employment judge, Emma Jane Hawksworth, said was a 'highly unusual step'. A G4S surveillance operative followed Kerita and filmed him from behind walking about three miles in about one and a half hours, even though the claimant never said he could not walk, the tribunal heard. In a report, they said that there was 'no indication whatsoever that the claimant had lower back, leg or shoulder pain or was experiencing sickness or dizziness', despite not filming Kerita's face. Darvill later approached a senior manager to get more funding for further surveillance to ensure a 'robust outcome', the tribunal heard. In May 2023, Kerita was dismissed for gross misconduct, including a fraudulent claim of company sick pay and unacceptable levels of absence. During a disciplinary meeting, he had said that he was in the wrong area and needed light duties but his managers told him there were none and sent him home, the tribunal heard. The tribunal found that Kerita's back pain met the definition of a disability under the Equality Act 2010. Judge Hawksworth said it could be inferred that managers 'had a level of distrust or hostility towards associates with back conditions, and were unwilling to take their word for it that they had a back problem, or were quick to conclude that a person with a back condition was not being honest about their symptoms'. The judge added: 'We have found that the respondent made assumptions about what the claimant had told them about his ability to walk and about the G4S surveillance film.' Kerita's claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments, disability discrimination and unfair dismissal succeeded.

Bank of France estimates Q2 French economic growth of around 0.1%
PARIS, July 9 (Reuters) - The French economy grew by around 0.1% in the second quarter, the Bank of France said in its monthly economic outlook on Wednesday, adding that uncertainty over U.S. trade tariffs continued to weigh on businesses. The central bank's survey of about 8,500 companies showed a pick-up in business in the industrial and services sectors, although other areas such as the wine sector were more negatively impacted by the tariff uncertainty. "Our estimates suggest a slight rise of around 0.1% in GDP in the second quarter," the Bank of France said. Last month, Remy Cointreau ( opens new tab abandoned its 2030 sales growth targets, while in April Pernod Ricard's ( opens new tab sales missed forecasts, with both companies citing the unpredictability over tariffs as an issue. The Bank of France said recent spells of extremely hot weather had also impacted the bar and restaurant sectors, as the heatwave discouraged people from going out. Both the Bank of France and the country's INSEE national statistics agency have forecast overall growth of 0.6% for the whole of 2025.

I was dreading my baby's first flight but a 45p buy kept her occupied for 3 HOURS & made zero mess, it's genius
A FIRST-TIME mum dreading flying with her baby daughter has shared how she got through it without any tears Lala, from Germany, took to social media to share her genius parenting hack just in time for any summer holidays you have planned. 2 And the best part is that the travel hack costs just 45p. In the clip, Lala and her partner could be seen boarding the plane with their baby asleep in her mum's arms. She said: "This was her very first flight and we timed it perfectly with her nap. She slept right through takeoff but eventually she woke up." So how did the parents keep her entertained for the three hour flight? Lettuce. Lala said they often give their tot lettuce when they're trying to eat in peace, so decided to try it on the plane. "It always keeps her occupied for so long. And I thought, if it works at home, why would it not work on a plane?" she explained. Like most kids, her daughter was obsessed with tearing things up and trying to put them in her mouth. "Like bread, paper, tissue, anything. But bread is way too messy, like there are crumbs everywhere," she explained. And with paper or tissue, we always have to keep an eye on her that she doesn't eat it. But lettuce? "Lettuce is genius. It has a really fun texture and it's not messy at all. And it's safe if she decides to munch on it. Not just safe, but it's actually a really refreshing and healthy snack for her." "This kept her occupied almost the entire flight." 2 I tested the viral £17.99 Amazon underseat cabin bag to see how many outfits I could fit in While Lala's easy travel hack was worth giving a go, it's worth noting that some airlines may not let you bring it on, depending on what country you are flying to. Others may not let you bring it into the country when you land so you'll have to chuck it away. But that won't matter too much as the hack costs just 45p as two heads of lettuce cost 90p from Waitrose. The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @ lalaleluu with over 1.7 million views and 267k likes. Plenty of parents took to the comments thanking her for the advice. One person wrote: "Wow this is genius. About to take my baby on her first flight alone and I might try this." How to make travelling with kids a breeze IT can be stressful travelling with kids, but there are a few things you can do to make it easier. Here's five we'd recommend: Snacks It might sound simple, but it's a good idea to pack a LOT of snacks. Think of how much you might need, and double it. After all, it doesn't matter if you have too much - your kids can eat it another time - but it will be a big issue if you run out. There are also snack boxes with lots of little dividers that are great for long journeys as kids can pick at those throughout. Entertainment This covers a whole range of things - from a tablet to watch films or play games if you've got older kids, to books and colouring. It's advisable to pack a variety of options, especially if you're on a long journey or have various legs on your haul. Toys If you've got a baby or a toddler, there are some sensory-type toys you can buy that can really help keep little ones entertained. These include ones that you stick on the windows of a plane, or on a tray on a highchair, that they can spin and play with to their hearts' content. Equipment There are a whole host of things on the market that aim to make sleeping on a plane loads easier. These include a hammock that you can attack to your tray which hangs down to put your feet on. You can also get blow up cushions to turn a seat into a bed for littles, and neck cushions that boast you will be able to use for a decent night's sleep wherever you are. Yourselves! Don't underestimate how entertaining you are to your kids. Learn some games you can play with them, and songs you can sing, as kids always love the opportunity to have one-on-one time with their parents. Another commented: "I have a 14 hour flight with my baby next month. I'll just bring a whole field." "You, Lala, have just unlocked a whole new toy for all of us mums out there thank you," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is some next level parenting!! Bravo!!"
