The International Olympic Committee IOC says it has held a second video call with Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai but shares concern for her safety.

35 year old Peng, disappeared from public view for three weeks after accusing a top Chinese official of sexual assault.

The Women’s Tennis Association has suspended all events in China and has “serious doubts” that Peng is “free, safe and not subject to intimidation”.

The IOC says it has agreed “a personal meeting” with Peng in January.
