Peng Shuai: fresh videos fail to ease concerns as China faces global backlash

Further footage of missing tennis star from Chinese state media rejected by WTA amid widespread scepticism that she is free and well

Fresh videos of missing tennis star Peng Shuai were posted by Chinese state media on Sunday morning, amid growing global pressure for Beijing to provide verifiable evidence of her whereabouts and safety.

The latest footage, released by Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of state newspaper the Global Times, appears to show the player being introduced at a youth tennis match in Beijing. Hu said on Twitter - a platform that is officially banned in China - that the footage was taken on Sunday but this claim could not be verified.
