Another building has collpased in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, but resuers have managed to save a young family from the rubble.

Rescuers have pulled a baby girl, a small boy and their mother from a building that collapsed in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The eight-storey building had been condemned and was due for demolition.

Kenya suffers from several such accidents a year, and the government is trying to tighten regulations and demolish unsafe homes.
