 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Senegal's new president orders 'action plan' to reset economy


The West African country is battling rising debt and inflation with unemployment rate is around 20%


Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has ordered his prime minister to draw up an urgent "action plan" to strengthen the country's flagging economy and finances, his office said in a statement.


The 44-year-old swept to victory in an election last month on a promise of radical reform, becoming the country's youngest president despite never having held elected office.


On Tuesday he gave his prime minister and former mentor Ousmane Sonko until the end of the month to draw up an "action plan", said the statement, released after Faye's first cabinet meeting.


He ordered Sonko to "carry out a general review of programmes and plans" and report on "the general situation of the public finances", international cooperation and public-private partnerships, it said.
