Midday Roundup: Woman survives six days below rubble in Kenya

Remarkable rescue. Workers rescued a woman today from the rubble of a residential building that collapsed six days ago in Nairobi, Kenya. The six-story building was already scheduled for demolition due to unsafe conditions when it collapsed, killing at least 36 people. Another 70 remain missing. On Tuesday, rescuers found a nearly 6-month-old baby alive in the rubble, raising hopes that more people might have survived. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered inspections of all buildings last year after eight structures collapsed and killed 15 people. The National Construction Authority found that 58 percent of buildings in Nairobi are unfit for habitation.

Nicotine nix. The Food and Drug Administration announced strict new regulations on e-cigarettes today. The rules would ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and require safety reviews of all the so-called “vaping” devices produced since 2007. The same rules would also apply to previously unregulated tobacco products, including cigars, pipe tobacco, and hookah tobacco. But a bill approved by a U.S. House committee last month could block some of the regulation by exempting e-cigarettes already on the market and some cigars from the safety reviews.

Security breach? A notorious Romanian hacker claims he easily accessed then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s home-based email server in 2013. Marcel Lehel Lazar, known by his internet handle “Guccifer,” told Fox News he first hacked into the email of Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal and then piggybacked from there into Clinton’s email account. Lazar also said he was not the only hacker accessing the account. If true, Lazar’s tale would contradict Clinton’s claim that her email system was secure and did not compromise classified information. The Clinton campaign issued a statement Wednesday calling Lazar’s claim baseless and inaccurate.

Financial pressure. The stock value of the retail chain Target has fallen sharply over the past two weeks in the wake of a boycott. It’s not clear how much the boycott is responsible for the stock decline, but since April 19, when the retailer announced it welcomed people to use whichever restroom or fitting room facility that corresponded to their self-proclaimed gender identity, the company’s stock has fallen by 4.5 percent. That’s more than twice the decline of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index during that same period. Since Target’s announcement, more than 1 million consumers have signed a petition vowing not to buy from the nation’s second-largest discount retailer until the policy is changed. On April 19, Target’s common stock closing price was $83.98 a share, the highest it’s been in nearly a year. On Wednesday, the stock closed at $79.71.

Horrific crime. A small New Mexico town is grieving after the brutal killing of an 11-year-old Navajo girl. Police say Tom Begaye Jr., 27, admitted to luring the girl and her brother into a van. He later left the boy to wait in the van while he left on foot with the girl, who he sexually assaulted and bludgeoned to death with a tire iron. Begaye then abandoned the boy, who was found walking along the road near Lower Fruitland, N.M., on Monday night. Begaye faces federal charges of kidnapping and murder.
