 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.

 I’ve never been a rapist – Russell Brand breaks silence over allegations


Actor and comedian Russell Brand has broken his silence following charges of rape, indecent assault, oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault involving four women.

Brand, however, firmly maintains that he has “never been a rapist”.

The 49-year-old further accused the government of turning the law into “a weapon”.

In a video posted to X on Friday afternoon, Brand thanked his supporters and stated his intention to contest the allegations in court.

“I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict, and an imbecile,” he said.

“But what I never was, was a rapist. I have never engaged in non-consensual activity — I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”

The Metropolitan Police have now charged Brand with one count each of rape, indecent assault, and oral rape, as well as two counts of sexual assault. These charges relate to allegations made by four separate women, with the incidents said to have occurred between 1999 and 2005.

Brand is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 2nd May.
