 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.

THREE CHINESE RESEARCHERS INDICTED FOR ILLEGALLY IMPORTING BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS INTO U.S.(PHOTO).


 Three Chinese researchers indicted for illegally importing biological materials into U.S

Three Chinese researchers at the University of Michigan have been charged with conspiring to smuggle biological materials into the United States, according to federal authorities.

The researchers—Xu Bai, 28; Fengfan Zhang, 27; and Zhiyong Zhang, 30—held J-1 research visas and were working in the laboratory of Xianzhong “Shawn” Xu at UM. Investigators say that in 2024 and 2025, Bai and Fengfan Zhang received shipments from China containing biological materials linked to roundworms, which were sent by Chengxuan Han, a Chinese citizen and Ph.D. student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan.

Han later traveled to the U.S. to work in the same laboratory, pleaded no contest to three counts of smuggling and one count of making false statements, and was subsequently sentenced and deported. Federal authorities allege that Bai and Fengfan Zhang continued to receive packages from Han even after her removal.

Attorney General Pam Bondi called the alleged scheme a serious threat to U.S. national and agricultural security and emphasized that authorities remain vigilant against foreign nationals attempting to exploit U.S. research programs for illicit purposes.
