English/Nat

A U-S court has ruled that cricket star Imran Khan is the father of a five year
child.

The ruling came from a Los Angeles court after ex-girlfriend Sita White filed a
lawsuit claiming Khan's paternity over her daughter Tyrian-Jade.

White says Khan should apologise to the Pakistani people for misleading them
during his election campaign that he had no children before he married Jemima
Goldsmith.

A Los Angeles court on Wednesday said Imran Khan wasn't playing cricket and
added it was time he owned up to being the father of Tyrian-Jade White.

The former Pakistani cricket star has denied fathering the five-year-old American
girl with British heiress Sita White who now lives in L-A.

But the court went with the daughter of Lord "Gordy" White - and gave Khan
the official stamp of father.

The ruling came after Khan failed to respond to a paternity suit and a request to
take a bloodtest.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Yes, I'm just very happy that this judgement was entered. This is an important
day for my child and I think that Mr Khan should make an apology to the people
in Pakistan for running his campaign on a lie. I think it's time for him to take
responsibility for his child and I'm just extremely happy and I'm glad I have my
lawyers working for me."

SUPER CAPTION: Sita White, mother of Tyrian-Jade

White's high-profile attorney, Gloria Allred, was also at the court.

She condemned Khan for putting political gain before fatherhood.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Power money and high office should always be less important than a child's
emotional and financial wellbeing. It's not cricket for a father to deny his child in
order to gain political office. And we're happy that this case became an issue in
his campaign to become prime minister and we think that the Pakistani people
sent him an important message when they refused to elect him prime minister
of Pakistan while the issue of paternity remained unresolved. The judgement of
the court entered today clearly establishes Imran Khan as Tyrian's father. We
hope that one day he'll open up his heart to his little girl and give her the love
respect and support that every daughter deserves to receive from her parent.
And this is a copy of the judgement that the court signed, the judgement of
paternity."

SUPER CAPTION: Gloria Allred, Sita White's lawyer

In 1995, Imran Khan had a glamorous wedding to billionaire financier Jimmy

Goldsmith's daughter Jemima in London.

Khan later made an unsuccessful attempt to enter Pakistan's political scene -

some believe his bid was bankrolled by Goldsmith.

To add a twist to the story Sita White once stepped out with Dodi Fayed who's
now linked with Britain's Princess Diana.

However she said that was all in the past now.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"I'd prefer not to comment on that right now."

SUPER CAPTION: Sita White

At least Tyrian-Jade has a father now, but it is unlikely that Imran Khan will ever
recognise her.
