"I can advise officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the case, and we continue to support the victim's relatives.

'It was Christmas Eve 2024 and 19-year-old Chloe Cheung was lying in bed at home in Leeds when she found out the Chinese authorities had put a bounty on her head. As she scrolled through Instagram looking at festive songs, a stream of messages from old school friends started coming into her phone. Look at the news, they told her.' Tom Levitt, writing for our Rights and Freedom series, spoke to Cheung to hear her extraordinary story and why the reward for her capture will follow her 'for ever'.

No one comments as I walk down a busy shopping street, and after a while I begin to hope no one has noticed – after all, I don't tend to notice other people's shoes when I'm out and about. Then I look down and think: yeah, but I would notice these.' Twenty years after they first hit the shelves, five-fingered shoes are having a big fashion moment. But, asked an intrepid Tim Dowling, what is it like to wear them in public? Read more Logo design for sport has produced some of the most memorable graphic design in history, notably US designer Lance Wyman's work for the 1968 Olympics and 1970 World Cup (above) in Mexico.
