Holbrooke Critically Ill
Richard Holbrooke, the US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been taken critically ill, the US state department says.

Mr Holbrooke, 69, was admitted to hospital on Friday and has undergone surgery to repair a tear in his aorta.

His family have joined him at his hospital bedside in Washington DC.
A dissecting aortic aneurysm is a dire medical and surgical emergency. Best wishes for him and his family.
