China's former leader Hu Jintao is lifted from his chair by a young aide at the closing of the Communist Party Congress on Saturday. Neither has the incident been reported in Chinese language media, or discussed on Chinese social media, where conversations around senior leaders are highly restricted. Former Chinese leader Hu Jintao is taken by the arm and escorted out. “For whatever reasons, Xi ordered Hu to be escorted out when he must have thought that Hu might not behave exactly as Xi would have wanted,” he said. Former Chinese leader Hu Jintao pats the shoulder of his protege, Premier Li Keqiang.

Then, two men led Mr. Hu — who appeared reluctant to go — out of Beijing’s Great Hall of the People. Was Mr. Hu, 79, suffering from poor health, as Chinese state media would later report? When the aide finally succeeds in coaxing Mr. Hu from his chair, Mr. Li, the No. As the two aides begin guiding Mr. Hu away from his seat, the older leader stops to say something to Mr. Xi. The state broadcaster’s news program that night showed footage of Mr. Hu voting, and then his empty seat later in the ceremony, without explanation.

Mamadi Doumbouya for The New York Times Talk Julio Torres Thinks Most Comedy Is Too Easy“I think with me,” Julio Torres says, “it’s like I have some things that I want to show people that are incidentally funny. That’s if, as Torres suggests, comedy is even what he’s doing. I don’t think of comedians as always the most self-assured people. Torres with Cassandra Ciangherotti in “Los Espookys.” Pablo Arellano Spataro/HBOA lot of your comedy pivots on characters having an epiphany. But I feel it behooves me to learn more about the way things are made, the systems, the hierarchies, the business part of show business.

A sick baby waits to be seen at the Mother and Child Healthcare Hospital in Pakistan’s Sindh province. Credit: Javed Iqbal/CNNDozens more children sleep cramped together on beds in the facility’s emergency room; some unconscious from their illness, others crying in pain. And then our patients came in like the floods,” said Dr. Nazia Urooj, physician in-charge at the hospital’s children emergency unit. This is the face of a near unprecedented health crisis unfolding across Pakistan – but for many, help is not arriving. In Sindh, one of the worst-impacted provinces, villages have been completely cut off, making it nearly impossible for families to seek help for their sick children.

Las Vegas police said Monday they are investigating a fan's contact with the quarterback of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals immediately after the team's win Sunday. Video shows someone in the stands at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium reaching over fans at the end zone barrier and making contact with the face of the Cardinals' Kyler Murray with an open hand. Murray had just skipped past the end zone and toward the stands to celebrate his team's walk-off win with back-pats and high-fives. Murray's representative, the Cardinals and the team's opponent and host Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Arizona defeated Las Vegas 29-23 when cornerback Bryon Murphy Jr. recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown in overtime.
