Two weeks ago she made sexual assault allegations against a former China vice-premier. Since then she has not been in direct contact with the Women's Tennis Association.

Also on the programme, in British Columbia, Canada, a state of emergency has been declared and troops deployed as thousands of people have been stranded and made homeless as the region has experiences widespread flooding.
