 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.

 Russia-Congo ties: Putin praises 'reliable, time-tested friend'


Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday described the Republic of Congo as a “reliable, time-tested friend and partner” during a meeting with Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso in Beijing.


“Working together with Congo is one of the priorities of our foreign policy activities in Africa,” Putin said, highlighting Moscow’s interest in strengthening ties, AFP reported.


The Russian leader also pledged to expand educational opportunities for Congolese citizens.


“Students and young people from your country continue their professional training in Russia, and we are ready not only to maintain this level, but also to increase the number of Congolese who want to receive an education in the Russian Federation,” he added.


Putin wrapped up a four-day visit to China, where he attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, joined commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, and held several bilateral meetings with world leaders.
