German and Portuguese police are to begin a new search for the missing Madeleine McCann – who disappeared on holiday in Portugal when she was three years old in 2007. The search will cover the municipality of Lagos, which sits next to Praia da Luz, the town in the Algarve where she went missing nearly two decades ago. Portuguese police confirmed on Monday that they were carrying out the search between 2-6 June on warrants issued by German prosecutors.

The fate of Zhang Zhan, a Chinese citizen journalist imprisoned for her coverage of the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak, remains uncertain despite expectations of her release after serving a four-year sentence.
