Police continued to search a reservoir in Portugal on Wednesday, 23 May, in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Portuguese authorities, assisted by German police, set up tents an area near the Barragem do Arade reservoir, around 50km (31 miles) from where the toddler went missing aged three in Praia da Luz in 2007.
Searches are being conducted at the request of German police in the presence of British officers.
Police divers first entered the water early on Tuesday and a rigid-hull inflatable boat was sent into the water with two officers on board.
It is believed that suspect Christian Brueckner, identified by German police, used to visit the Algarve reservoir being searched.
Authorities believe the 45-year-old killed Madeleine after abducting her from a holiday apartment.
Brueckner has denied involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
The searches come days after Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, issued a tribute on their daughter’s 20th birthday, telling her: “We love you and we’re waiting for you. We’re never going to give up.”
