 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.

 Texas woman dies after Tesla with automated driving system engaged crashes into home


 A woman has died following a fatal incident in Katy, Texas, where a Tesla Model 3 operating with an automated driving assistance system crashed into a residential home. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed on Friday night when it failed to maintain its lane, veered off the roadway, and collided with the house located at 1907 Blooming Park Lane.

The driver, identified as Michael Butler, had the vehicle's driving assistance system engaged at the time of the collision. Inside the residence, Martha Avila was struck during the impact. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead. Investigators noted that Butler showed no signs of intoxication and has been fully cooperative with the ongoing inquiry.

This fatal crash adds to a series of incidents that have drawn intense scrutiny to Tesla's driver assistance technology from federal regulators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration previously launched an investigation into the company's reporting practices regarding crashes involving its automated features. The legal pressure on the automaker has also intensified following a recent judicial ruling ordering Tesla to pay $243 million in damages connected to a fatal 2019 crash involving its Autopilot system.
