New photo of Madeleine McCann 'aged 9'

The Metropolitan Police have said Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in Portugal five years ago, could still be alive.

Scotland Yard detectives have been working closely with a senior Portuguese officer on a review of the case.

They say they have uncovered nearly 200 potential leads.

Madeleine was a few days short of her fourth birthday, when she went missing from a holiday apartment in the resort of Praia de Luz in May 2007.

Officers have released a photograph of Madeleine as they believe she could appear now.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said officers were dealing with around 100,000 pages of evidence.
