Police officers continue digging near a reservoir in Portugal in a long-running investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The Arade dam is 31 miles (50km) from where the Leicestershire toddler went missing in Praia da Luz 16 years ago.

The operation is being led by German police looking for evidence to link her disappearance to Christian Brueckner. The 45-year-old German national was made a formal suspect, or an 'arguido', by Portuguese prosecutors in 2022.

For the McCann family and their friends in Leicestershire this is an anxious time. 麻豆社 Radio Leicester's Jo Hollis has been speaking to local people in her home village of Rothley.
