 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.

 Paris to name sports facility after after dead Ugandan athlete Cheptegei


The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has said on Friday that the city will dedicate a sports facility in memory of Uganda Olympic runner, Rebecca Cheptegei, who passed away.


The marathon runner, who competed in the Paris Games last month died on Thursday, four days after she was doused in petrol and ignited by her boyfriend in Kenya, in the latest attack on a female athlete in the country.


In the women's marathon at the Paris Games, Cheptegei, 33, made her Olympic debut by placing 44th.


Dickson Ndiema Marangach, her Kenyan partner, attacked her in front of her kids on Sunday, leaving her with 80% burns, according to police and medical professionals.


Her death, which the United Nations called a "violent murder", triggered widespread condemnation.
