 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.

 Obama’s Higher Ground production company ends Netflix exclusivity, shifts to independent model

Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground, is moving toward an independent operating model after eight years of collaboration with Netflix.

Barack Obama announced the shift during a Saturday event in Philadelphia that brought together figures from media, sports, and entertainment as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. Both Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on separate panels where they discussed the company’s work and future plans.

The former president said the company is grateful for its long-running partnership with Netflix but is now transitioning toward a structure that will allow it to work with a wider range of studios and platforms.

Higher Ground originally signed a production deal with Netflix in 2018, later extending that relationship in 2024 through a multiyear first-look arrangement covering film and television projects.

Over the years, the company has been behind several high-profile projects, including Rustin, American Symphony, and Crip Camp, along with American Factory, which won both an Oscar and an Emmy. Other credits include the series Bodkin and the apocalyptic thriller Leave the World Behind.

More recently, Higher Ground has expanded its development slate beyond Netflix, including projects with other outlets such as HBO. One of its upcoming releases is a sketch comedy series titled Life Larry, along with The Pursuit of Unhappiness, created by Larry David and Jeff Schaffer, which is scheduled to debut in June.

The Philadelphia event also featured a wide range of public figures from politics, sports, and entertainment, underscoring the high-profile nature of the anniversary celebration.
