 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.

 Mother taken into custody after abandoning newborn at Manhattan subway station

A 30-year-old woman has been arrested after allegedly abandoning her newborn baby at a busy Manhattan subway station earlier this week, authorities confirmed. The suspect, identified as Assa Diawara, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning in Queens and charged with abandonment of a child and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police said the infant girl was discovered Monday morning wrapped in a blanket on the southbound 1 train platform at 34th Street–Penn Station during the rush-hour commute. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and transported the baby to a local hospital, where she was reported to be in stable condition. New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow described the discovery as “the miracle on 34th Street,” noting the infant’s survival amid the heavy foot traffic and cold conditions in the station.
