Horror moment seven-storey building COLLAPSES in Kenya as search and rescue hunt for people trapped under rubble

THIS is the terrifying moment a seven-story block of flats in Kenya collapses as locals watch on in horror.

Footage shows the exact moment the Nairobi building is reduced to rubble as plumes of thick dust rise into the sky.

Locals scream as they hear a loud bang and flee the scene in panic and a mother rescues her child from the crash.

A search-and-rescue mission is underway following the horror that took place in the Kahawa West neighbourhood in the East African country’s capital on Sunday.

Only one casualty has been confirmed but the Kenya Red Cross said several families are likely to remain trapped inside the building, according to local outlet The Star.

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja told X: “So far, the only one casualty has been reported; one middle aged lady.

“She was outside the building, she fell and injure when the building collapsed.

“She currently is receiving treatment and she is stable.”

However, it’s not yet known exactly how many others were inside the tower block at the time of collapse.

Dicken Muchena, 31, who witnessed the collapse, said: “The building had already been earmarked as a threat to people early today.

“There were signs of collapse so people started vacating.

“I went out to find out more on the ground and that is when the house came down.

“I was shell-shocked to see people who were near the building buried.

“There was horror at the scene and confusion.”

Governor Sakaja told X: “Nairobi City County and Multi Agency rescue teams continue search and rescue operations at the site of the collapsed building in Kahawa West.

“All required equipment has been assembled and mobilised. Nairobi County Deputy Governor, H.E Njoroge Muchiri is on site alongside the teams.”

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said: “We are not sure if there were people still therein, but I know there was an evacuation that happened. They knew it was weak.”

The Kenya Red Cross posted an update to X: “Two people have been rescued and taken to Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral & Research Hospital.”

Glam Ruth Langsford lets her hair down with Lizzie Cundy and Rylan Clark on karaoke night out after Eamonn Holmes split

RUTH Langsford seems to be singing the praises of the single life as she joins TV star Rylan Clark for some Saturday night karaoke.

The Loose Women presenter has discovered a new lease of life since splitting from Eamonn Holmes, her husband of 14 years.

The 64-year-old enjoyed a night on the town with Rylan, 35, to celebrate the birthday of presenter and socialite Lizzie Cundy.

Wearing an all-black co ord outfit with a sparkly top, tailed trousers and a stylish fitted blazer and high-heeled silver sandals, all, from her clothing range at QVC.

Ruth captioned the photo: “Off to a birthday party.” Before including footage of her laughing and performing karaoke with Rylan.

Indeed the mother-of-one certainly seems to be enjoying herself and appears to be fully embracing single life in her sixties.

Earlier this week luxury denim wear designer, Donna Ida, asserted that Ruth is having a style renaissance, since separating from broadcaster Eamonn Holmes.

The designer styled Ruth when she walked into her Chelsea Boutique.

She told the Express: ““When I met her she was lovely. She has shopped with us over the years. I love her hair being a bit longer. I think she looks amazing.”

When asked if Ruth was having a fashion refresh, Donna replied: “Yeah. She is fantastic fun. She is such a nice person.”

In August, Ruth transformed her hairstyle with some glamorous highlighted extensions.

Taking to social media, she informed fans that she had taken their advice and wanted to experiment with adding a few extra inches to her hair extensions.

She shared a video of the process, writing in the caption: “Extensions time again! @leobancroft salon.

Decided to keep them a bit longer this time (lots of you told me to last time! ) Fitted by the lovely Lauren (you can also book Kristen) cut and styled by Leo.”

Ruth and Eamonn split after 14 years together back in May and are in the process of filing for divorce.

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has since moved on with his new, much younger girlfriend, relationship counsellor, Katie Alexander, 42.

Ruth and Eamonn's relationship timeline

Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

Here’s how their romance played out…

1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.

1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”

2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.

2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.

2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.

2010 – Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth’s mother for her hand.

June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.

2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.

June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.

November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.

December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.

January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.

September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.

November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.

September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.

May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.

September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.

How to compare prices to get the best deal

JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.

Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

Here are some that we recommend:

  • Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
  • Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
  • Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
  • CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

Tragic Liam Payne was ‘plied with drugs supplied by hotel staff’ hours after visa tests showed he was ‘completely clean’

LIAM Payne was plied with drugs supplied by a hotel worker just 24 hours after being told he was clean, cops believe.

Argentine investigators suspect the drugs found in the tragic One Direction star’s Buenos Aires hotel room were sourced in a poverty-stricken neighbourhood 15 miles away.

An address in the city of Lomas de Zamora is said to match up with a man suspected of being involved in supplying the substance, sources say.

Police are investigating two hotel staff in connection with the deals including a cleaner at the CasaSur boutique hotel.

It is believed they hid the drugs in a Dove Soap box which can be seen in pictures inside Liam’s room.

A pal of Liam’s last night told The Sun the star had been given the all-clear on a drugs test last Tuesday – the day before he plunged 45ft to his death from his third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

The pop star had “tried really hard to get clean”, the pal claimed before being “preyed upon” by the hotel workers.

They said dad-of-one Liam had entered Argentina on September 30 with the aim of renewing his American visa.

They claim that when Liam spoke to US embassy officials, they queried his previous stints in rehab and said he needed to take a drug test to prove he was clean to have his renewal approved.

They added: “The embassy said Liam needed to do a strict investigation including X-rays and a blood test to search for traces of drugs.

He was examined by a US Embassy-certified doctor and last Tuesday collected his results, which showed he was clean, the friend said.


It comes as…


“He collected his results on Tuesday and they showed he was clean.

“On the weekend at his friend’s ranch, he was completely sober.

“When he checked in at the hotel, at some point someone there started giving him drugs.”

A source alleged hotel staff had started selling Liam drugs at some point in the time he checked in at 11pm last Sunday.

They said they did not know what drugs Liam was buying or how much he had spent on them.

However reports from US media have suggested he was under the influence of Cristal, a hallucinogenic substance which causes psychotic episodes.

Police suspect Liam suffered an episode while high and drunk.

It has been reported that multiple staff members were set to be fired over allegedly supplying drugs to Liam.

The insider said: “Liam had tried really hard to get clean, then he’s been preyed upon.

“These people just care about money – they don’t care about putting people’s lives in danger.

“It’s an evil trade. This is all just tragic.”

Guests saw him behaving erratically in the hotel lobby moments before he died at 5.07pm, with reports of him smashing up his laptop.

He spent some of his final hours at the hotel with two local blonde women, who The Sun on Sunday yesterday revealed are Aldana Serrano, 27, and Lucila Goitea, 31.

He was also said to have been seen arguing with a woman over payment.

During his time in Argentina, Liam watched his old 1D bandmate Niall Horan perform and spent time playing polo at a ranch with pals and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, 25.

Among Liam’s group was his Argentinian friend Roger Nores, who was seen with him at the hotel and who accused staff of supplying drugs to the singer.

A source close to Roger said he last saw Liam for ten minutes on Wednesday, and that he left the hotel at 3.30pm.

The insider said: “Roger told him, ‘I’ve got to run’ and Liam said, ‘Go do your own thing’. That was the last thing they said to each other.”

“Roger is upset – at one point on Wednesday he was phoned by a hotel manager who said they had found Liam asleep on the floor of the elevator.

“They moved him to the sofa in the hotel lobby but the manager said he couldn’t stay there, and that he needed to go to his room.

“In the emergency call, they said they were worried Liam’s life was in danger because he was in a room with a balcony.

“Why didn’t they just let him stay sleeping in the lobby if they were worried about this?”

A pal of Roger told us: “Liam’s behaviour hadn’t been off at all – he was happy.

It is understood Roger has spoken to police and the District Attorney, and that he is in touch with Liam’s dad Geoff.

Meanwhile, Liam’s old performing arts teacher Jodie Richards revealed she was in touch with him just hours before he died.

Jodie, who taught Liam at Pink Productions in his home town of Wolverhampton, West Mids, said: “I spoke to him about five hours before it happened so from my point of view I am really shocked.

“There was no cause of concern – he was having a chilled-out morning so I’m not sure what happened.

“It was about 4am our time [when Liam messaged] saying ‘are you still up?’.

“I messaged him when I was up and taking the kids to school to say ‘I’m up now’.

“I said, ‘What are you doing?’ and he said, ‘I’m just chilling’ and he said [he was in] Argentina.

“I said, ‘That sounds good’ and that was the last time I spoke to him.

Hours after he had gone through all of that.”

Health struggles

Liam often spoke about the dark side of fame, revealing how the constant media attention and pressure from being in the spotlight took a significant toll on his mental health.

One of the more painful admissions from Liam’s interview was his battle with alcohol, which began during his time with the band.

As One Direction skyrocketed to fame, the group members were often confined to hotel rooms, where mini-bars were their only outlet.

“The best way to secure us was to lock us in our rooms, and what is in the room? A mini-bar,” the ex-1D band member told the podcast.

“So I had a party-for-one that seemed to carry on for many years of my life.”

Liam was brutally honest about his health issues in recent years.

His journey through fame came with its costs as he disclosed that he had suffered from social anxiety and struggled to maintain his mental well-being while under immense pressure.

Despite the joyful moments of his meteoric rise to fame, Liam’s struggles with mental health, addiction, and the weight of his stardom were a constant undercurrent.

He had been working on his sobriety in recent years, candidly discussing his difficult relationship with alcohol.

He admitted that he spent time in a US wellness clinic after he “hit rock bottom”.

He also told how a mystery respiratory illness left him floored in 2021.

Liam admitted turning to alcohol and drugs to hide how he struggled to cope with One Direction’s dizzying levels of fame — which would spark panic attacks and high levels of exhaustion.

Tributes to Liam Payne

SHOCKED fans, former co-workers, loved ones and friends flooded social media with sad tributes to Liam Payne after news of his death emerged.

Harry Styles’ mum Anne was among the first from One Direction’s camp to share her reaction, posting a photo of Liam and writing ‘Just a boy…’ alongside a broken heart emoji.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden shared an image of the pair together with the words: “Such an awful tragedy.

“Sending love to his family and all those who loved him.”

X Factor star Olly Murs told fans he was “devastated” and “lost for words”.

He wrote on social media: “Liam shared the same passions as me, the same dreams so to see his life now end so young hits hard, I’m truly gutted and devastated for his Family and of course his son Bear losing a dad x”.

Liam Gallagher said he was “very sad” and told his followers on X: “Life is precious Kids, you only get to do it once, go easy.”

Former X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has also expressed his shock and spoke on This Morning.

He said: “I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing.

“He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.”

BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball reacted to the “devastating news” on her show and told fans she hugged her own son Woody tight this morning.

JLS band member Marvin Humes reflected on his memories with the singer, sharing: “I first met Liam in 2008 with the JLS boys whilst auditioning for X Factor..he was 14 years old..

“We instantly clicked and looked at him as a little brother..that year it worked out for us but not for him and then 2 years later he went back to audition and One Direction was born..the rest is history..

“Absolutely heartbroken by the tragic news..Liam you wanted to be a global superstar and you did it bro..just can’t believe that things have ended this way..it’s shocking..my thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends brother..RIP.”

Niall Horan’s brother Greg shared an emotional tribute to Liam, praising him as a “top young man”.

He added: “You will be forever missed. Liam, words can’t describe how much I want to grab my brother and mind him now while the world shows their memories of you and him and the boys.

“My heart goes out to your family parents and sisters and your son Bear and your 1D brothers.

“10th October we met and we started out that evening as 5 families into one big one 1D family thank you for all the laughs bro watch down on all your family and mind them lots of love kiddo x x x 1D 4 LIFE x x x”

German DJ Anton Zaslavski, otherwise known as Zedd, has taken to X with a devastated statement.

The producer, who worked with Liam on his 2017 hit Get Low, wrote: “RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking…”

American singer, Charlie Puth, who was friends with Liam and also collaborated with him on a song called Bedroom Floor, has posted a series of Instagram stories dedicated to him.

Alongside photos of the two of them together in their younger days, Charlie wrote: “I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me.

“He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone…

“I am so upset right now, may he rest in peace. I am so sorry…”

Irish singer duo Jedward also took to social media, saying: “RIP Liam Payne. Condolences to friends and family.”

In another tweet, they added: “Sending strength to Cheryl and his son Bear. And all the One direction Family. RIP Liam Payne.”

American media personality Paris Hilton shared: “So upsetting to hear the news of Liam Payne passing. Sending love and condolences to his family & loved ones. RIP my friend.”

ITV weather presenter Alex Beresford shared a news video about Liam’s tragic death on Instagram, adding: “Can’t believe this! RIP Liam.”

Meanwhile Love Island star Molly Marsh penned: “I’m so taken aback, rest in peace.”

James Cordon also paid his own tribute, describing the star as a “loving and kind soul”.

The Gavin and Stacey actor wrote on Instagram: “Talking about Liam in the past tense is utterly heart-breaking.

“I will treasure the moments I got to spend with him. My thoughts are with his family today x.”

Payne previously appeared on Cordon’s The Late Late Show in America.

Former Little Mix star Jade Thirwall – who won X Factor with her bandmates one year after One Direction took part – described him as “the first friend I made in this industry”.

She said: “We fell out of touch as the years went by, but back in 2008 he was the first friend I made in this industry.

“Both of us so young, so ambitious, both hoping we’d ‘make it’. I hope you are at peace now”.

Camila Cabello described his death as a “tragedy” and said he “made an impression” on her when she was a young girl.

Drivers warned against using tire spikes this winter due to risk of damage – keep $6 item from Walmart in trunk instead

DRIVERS have been warned against using tire spikes on their vehicle this winter.

The potentially damaging cold weather hack should instead be ditched in place of a $6 item that can be picked up from Walmart.

As winter approaches, many vehicle-owners setting out across colder states are preparing to face icy roads and snowy days.

Thankfully, experts at Michigan–based WGRD have revealed the things drivers can do to increase their car’s ability to stay on the road.

One common suggestion is to use winter tires, which are special tires that have bespoke patterns with tread grooves and sharp-angled tread blocks for better grip in the snow.

Curiously, drivers are also urged to keep cat litter in the trunk – as it can be effective for increased traction if you get stuck in the snow and ice.

The pet household product will also absorb moisture, so much so that it will stick to the driveway – although it does not melt ice.

What’s more, when it’s left it can turn into a sludgy mess, which will eventually turn into a potential slipping hazard, so do be careful.

But as a temporary measure, many winter-weather drivers will swear by it, and best of all it’s a relatively low-cost solution that can usually be found for around $6 from somewhere like Walmart.

Other tips beside the use of kitty litter include braking earlier than usual while driving in the snow, as this will provide plenty of room to slow down.

Another solution is using tire chains, which are completely legal in snowy weather, and can provide the extra traction necessary.

But while tire chains are perfectly legal in the state of Michigan, tire spikes – which are a specific kind of tire with studs installed into the rubber for increased traction – are not.

Simply put, these are not allowed as they can cause significant damage to Michigan roads.

This comes as a veteran car camper has revealed his cheapest and easiest method of keeping warm during the colder months.

A YouTube star with a channel called Colin Adventures lives full-time in his car while working a regular 9-5 job has opened up on how he stays warm while living in his vehicle with no heating.

Elsewhere, a new law will see drivers slapped with a hefty $140 fine if they’re caught using a particularly sneaky move to avoid traffic.

The new rule coming to Chelan County, Washington State, was announced on Monday and goes into effect immediately.
