Almost a decade after three-year-old Madeleine McCann went missing in Portugale in 2007, her parents - Gerry and Kate McCann - have launched a new legal battle against a Portuguese police chief who claimed they were involved in their daughter's disappearance.

Jodie Marsh: "I would be digging up the earth with my bare hands"
Reality TV star Jodie Marsh, 38, doesn't understand why the McCanns are suiting and not using that money to find Madeleine.
She exclusively told Closer magazine: "I Tweeted about the McCanns because it's something I feel so strongly about. I've never understood how the couple - especially Kate - managed to appear so calm and controlled.
"I couldn't leave the country where my child had disappeared. I couldn't do anything but look for her. I certainly wouldn't care about what people were saying about me."

Kerry Needham: "Until you've been there, you have NO idea!"
Kerry Needham, 44, whose son Ben went missing in 1991, hit back at Jodie explaining why she believes the McCanns' are right to clear their names.
She exclusively told Closer magazine: "Jodie Marsh has no idea how she would react to this situation - she's not even a mother, let alone the mother of a missing child. Nobody has a clue what they'd do until they're thrown into a situation with the nightmare of having a child go missing.
"I know what it's like to live with the pain of wondering whether you will ever see your child again - every day is a battle. Jodie doesn't have the right to judge."
