Xi directs quashing of feminists
Addressing dignitaries gathered in Beijing on Monday, Xi Jinping praised the "historic achievements" of women's rights in China.
In the past 30 years, the Chinese president said, maternal mortality rates had dropped by nearly 80% and women were now participating in the project of national governance with “unprecedented confidence and vigour”.
Xi was speaking at the global women’s summit, an event on Monday and Tuesday to mark the 30th anniversary of the historic UN’s world conference on women, which took place in Beijing. It was there in 1995 that Hillary Clinton, the then US first lady, delivered her “women’s rights are human rights” speech, lines now often quoted by people in China advocating for women’s rights.

Cunha goal ensures 24-year wait for Leeds goes on
Few of the near 40,000 that flooded the Elland Road terraces would have cared to admit it given the depths at which one of English football's most intense rivalries runs, but it was hard to argue that this was anything but a well-earned point apiece that serves the intentions and ambitions of both Leeds and Manchester United well.

Theatre review Frothy fun for flappers lacks Sheridan's satirical bite
Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comedy is a perfect revival for the festive period, with its crowd-pleasing mix of anarchic spirit, silliness and Sheridan's own panto dame in the word-mangling Mrs Malaprop.
