Newsday

Available for over a year

Peng Shuai disappeared from public view for three weeks after accusing former Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. WTA chief Steve Simon said he had "serious doubts" that Peng was "free, safe and not subject to intimidation". "In good conscience, I don't see how I can ask our athletes to compete there," he said. The latest on Ugandan troops carrying out strikes against a rebel movement in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. And Alec Baldwin has given his first major interview after the fatal shooting of a colleague on a film set.
