3. Arrests over Madeline McCann
In what the British media claim is a major breakthrough, detectives are preparing to make the first arrests over the disappearance of toddler Madeleine McCann.
The Mirror reports that three burglars who were operating in the area where she disappeared more than six years ago in Portugal made an unusual number of phone calls to each other in the hours after her disappearance.
The evidence had been known for some time but was written off by Portuguese detectives as irrelevant. Now Scotland Yard has requested permission to arrest the burglars to compel them to be interviewed.
