:00:26. > :00:30.It will be a decade next week since Madeleine, then aged three,
:00:31. > :00:34.vanished while on holiday with her family in Portugal.
:00:35. > :00:36.In an interview released tonight, investigators have vowed to do
:00:37. > :00:45.Her face is recognisable across the world, but how and why
:00:46. > :00:51.Madeleine McCann disappeared ten years ago is still a mystery,
:00:52. > :00:57.despite one of the most high-profile investigations in recent times.
:00:58. > :01:00.It remains active and tonight the man heading up the small
:01:01. > :01:03.Metropolitan Police team that is reviewing the case said
:01:04. > :01:19.They are pursuing what they call crucial lines of enquiry.
:01:20. > :01:21.Even after ten years of Madeleine being missing,
:01:22. > :01:23.there are nuggets of information and lines of inquiry
:01:24. > :01:26.that are worth pursuing, and by saying "worth pursuing",
:01:27. > :01:28.I mean it is possible they will find an answer.
:01:29. > :01:30.It'll be a decade next week since Madeleine, then three,
:01:31. > :01:32.vanished while on holiday with her family here
:01:33. > :01:37.I was looking at Madeleine's bed and I couldn't make her out.

:01:45. > :01:53.The investigating team say they are receiving new information on a daily

:01:57. > :01:59.officers and ?85,000 to extend More than ?11 million
:02:00. > :02:01.has been spent overall. The cold case approach
:02:02. > :02:03.does have some expense. You're looking back at old records,
:02:04. > :02:08.but it does help you solve cases, and give families and victims
:02:09. > :02:10.an understanding of what went on, This week Madeleine's parents,
:02:11. > :02:15.Kate and Gerry McCann, commented online, the looming tenth
:02:16. > :02:17.anniversary of their daughter's disappearance is an unwanted
:02:18. > :02:20.milestone and a horrible marker They vowed never to

:02:32. > :02:40.on this latest interview Our reporter Mike O'Sullivan
:02:41. > :02:43.is in Portugal, close to where Madeleine went missing,
:02:44. > :02:46.and sent his assessment of how officers here and there
:02:47. > :02:52.are working together. The Metropolitan Police have
:02:53. > :02:54.revealed details about their working relationship with their
:02:55. > :02:58.counterparts here in Portugal. The Met Police say that
:02:59. > :03:01.relationship is good - in fact, better than ever -
:03:02. > :03:04.and is paying dividends in terms of the progress
:03:05. > :03:08.all of them are making. In 2013, the Met Police identified
:03:09. > :03:12.four individuals as suspects. That led to interviews
:03:13. > :03:14.at a police station in Faro, about 40 minutes from here in Lagos,
:03:15. > :03:20.close to Praia da Luz. There was also the search
:03:21. > :03:22.of wasteland in Praia da Luz All those leads have now been
:03:23. > :03:28.discounted and that leaves a small team of Metropolitan officers
:03:29. > :03:33.working with the Portuguese police. Next week, I'll be reporting

:04:01. > :04:06.on the road to recovery, but it could all have been very
:04:07. > :04:09.different for two-year-old Kacie, who started to feel ill
:04:10. > :04:13.in February this year. On the Saturday morning, I woke up
:04:14. > :04:16.and went to check on Kacie. Doctors at the Queen's Medical

:04:40. > :04:44.being fed her food through a tube. I've had to stay by her
:04:45. > :04:46.side every single day. I've been getting three to four

:05:01. > :05:03.in cases of children swallowing batteries,
:05:04. > :05:07.seeing about one every month. Now one charity has launched
:05:08. > :05:10.a national campaign I think button batteries
:05:11. > :05:16.are such useful things. They power novelty gift cards,
:05:17. > :05:22.night-lights, key fobs, They're in so many products
:05:23. > :05:26.around the home, and parents and carers just don't
:05:27. > :05:31.realise how dangerous they can be, so small children are so curious
:05:32. > :05:34.and they get into them, and when they swallow them it can

:06:06. > :06:08.its funding promises for schools. The National Audit Office says
:06:09. > :06:10.there'll be a funding shortfall Visiting Holgate Primary
:06:11. > :06:17.in Hucknall, the Shadow Education Secretary told Quentin Rayner
:06:18. > :06:19.that, if elected, You will see over the next couple
:06:20. > :06:28.of weeks, as our manifesto is rolled out, that we do what we say,
:06:29. > :06:30.and that is ensuring that all schools can
:06:31. > :06:33.have the funding they need, instead of diverting
:06:34. > :06:36.much-needed funds into grammar schools and vanity projects,
:06:37. > :06:38.which is what this Do you plan to find that
:06:39. > :06:42.extra money for school Well, I don't believe we need
:06:43. > :06:46.to do that at the moment. There is enough money within
:06:47. > :06:49.the system that the Government is wasting that they should be
:06:50. > :06:52.diverting in a different way. They shouldn't be cutting taxes
:06:53. > :06:54.to big corporations at a time when our public services
:06:55. > :06:57.and our schools are facing a crisis. You say the Government hasn't
:06:58. > :07:00.provided the funding, and yet funding, they say,
:07:01. > :07:03.is at a record level - Well, they say funding
:07:04. > :07:09.is at a record high, but they know, of course,
:07:10. > :07:11.and they understand that people They knew that
:07:12. > :07:18.and they didn't plan for it. They also know that they have given
:07:19. > :07:21.hidden costs to schools. They have pushed those costs down,
:07:22. > :07:23.national insurance contributions, pensions, the apprenticeship levy,
:07:24. > :07:25.and they have not funded that. The Conservatives want to increase
:07:26. > :07:28.grammar schools, and they say they will be accessible
:07:29. > :07:30.to all and it will increase social mobility, and also parental choice -
:07:31. > :07:33.have they got it right? Time and time again,
:07:34. > :07:36.there's not a scrap of evidence that says that grammar schools
:07:37. > :07:38.will actually aid social mobility. This is the Conservatives giving
:07:39. > :07:43.a liferaft for their privileged few that can afford to pay for private
:07:44. > :07:45.tuition, but, make no mistake, for the ordinary working
