 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.

 Judge rejects Amy Winehouse's father’s lawsuit over sale of singer’s personal items

 A London judge has ruled against Mitch Winehouse in a legal dispute over the sale of personal belongings once owned by his late daughter, singer Amy Winehouse.

Mitch Winehouse, who serves as the administrator of the singer’s estate, brought the case against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, alleging they improperly profited from the sale of her memorabilia. He claimed the pair had no right to sell the items and did so without his knowledge, arguing they should not have benefited from the auctions.

Amy Winehouse died in 2011 at the age of 27 from alcohol poisoning at her home in London, bringing an end to a career that made her one of the most recognizable voices of her generation.

The dispute centered on roughly 150 personal items, including clothing, accessories, and stage pieces such as dresses, shoes, scarves, earrings, and handbags. Parry, who worked as Winehouse’s stylist, and Gourlay said the items were either gifted to them or belonged to them outright.

The items were later sold at auction in the United States, generating about $1.2 million in total. Parry’s portion included 56 items that brought in roughly $878,000, among them a silk minidress worn during Winehouse’s final performance in Belgrade, Serbia, which alone sold for $243,200. Gourlay sold 85 items, earning about $344,000.

In his ruling, the judge dismissed Mitch Winehouse’s claims, effectively clearing Parry and Gourlay of wrongdoing in the sale of the items. The court concluded they were entitled to sell the memorabilia and rejected the argument that the transactions were improper.

Following the decision, Parry welcomed the outcome and said the ruling fully cleared her name after what she described as years of damaging allegations. She said the case should never have been brought and insisted the court had unequivocally dismissed the claims against her.
