Terrifying new dashcam footage shows moment doomed NBC helicopter falls out of the sky The terrifying moment an NBC helicopter fell out of the sky and plunged into the ground near where an SUV had slammed into a Metro bus was caught on dashcam. The video, obtained by KTLA, shows the helicopter descending, caught from afar on the vehicle camera of Yera Valencia. She said: “I downloaded the video of my dashcam. It’s a little dot on the video. It’s a crisp video and it just goes down.” She added: “God, it’s so close, it could have happened to anyone. My parents walk down the street.” The two back-to-back Tuesday night crashes resulted in five deaths — two involving the bus and SUV, and three as a result of the chopper going down, killing reporter Eliana Moreno, pilot George Marciniw and pedestrian Edy Gutierrez Mejia.

 Somali president signs new constitution into law


Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has signed the country's new constitution into law, bringing to an end a longstanding provisional constitution.


The head of state assented to the constitutional reform in the capital Mogadishu on Sunday. The speakers of Somalia's bicameral parliament witnessed the signing.


President Mohamud said the implementation of the new constitution takes immediate effect, and expressed optimism that the new law would steer the nation "toward political stability."


The constitution introduces a raft of changes, including presidential qualifications, term limits, and the mode of electing the people's representatives to parliament.


New provisions


Under the new supreme law, a person seeking senior elective positions in Somalia must not be married to a foreign national, must not hold dual citizenship, and both their parents must be Somalis, TRT Afrika reported.


For a dual citizen seeking a top political office, they must formally renounce their foreign citizenship.


The amendments directly target the offices of the president, the prime minister, and the speakers of both houses of parliament.


The new constitution also extends the presidential term from four years previously to five years, though the maximum limit is capped at two terms.


Presidential age requirement


Once the president completes their two terms, they automatically become a member of the Upper House of Parliament for life.


According to the revised constitution, presidential and prime ministerial candidates must be aged at least 40 years.


Somalia is also moving away from the complex clan-based election of lawmakers to universal suffrage, where the citizens will directly choose their parliamentary representatives.


However, like previously, lawmakers will continue electing the country's president in a joint parliamentary sitting.


Three layers of government


Somalia's new constitution formally recognises three tiers of government – the federal government, federal member states, and local governments.


This is Somalia's first substantive constitution since 1991, when a civil war broke out.


The new supreme law will replace the provisional constitution adopted in 2012.
