Madeleine McCann: Investigators end latest searches for missing British girl
Investigators in Portugal have ended their latest searches for Madeleine McCann after three days. Police have been scouring scrubland and abandoned structures near the town of Praia da Luz where the three-year-old British girl went missing 18 years ago. Officers could be seen holding pitchforks as they combed land in an area on the outskirts of Lagos in the Algarve on Thursday. Search teams involving German and Portuguese officers, as well as firefighters, used pick-axes and shovels to dig undergrowth, and a digger was again used to remove rubble from an abandoned structure at the site. Authorities have not yet commented on the ending of the latest searches. So far, officers have not announced they have found anything of significance.

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds co-owners of SailGP champions
They join Driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the freshly rebranded BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team. The new co-owners said: 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. "Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' Founded in 2019 by Sir Russell Coutts and Larry Ellison, SailGP pits 12 national crews in identical 50-foot foiling catamarans, ripping past 100 km/h just metres from shore in the world's most iconic harbours. Led by Olympic gold medallist Slingsby, Australia has owned the leaderboard, with three championships in four seasons, and now embarks on a new chapter aimed at super-charging fan engagement far beyond the dock. Tom Slingsby, Driver, CEO & co-owner of the BONDS Flying Roos said: 'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team. "They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humour that fits perfectly with our team. With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos, we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.' Andy Thompson, SailGP Director said, 'Today marks a landmark moment not just for the Australia SailGP Team, but for the trajectory of SailGP globally. "We're thrilled to officially welcome Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as co-owners of the newly-branded BONDS Flying Roos, bringing with them an extraordinary combination of global reach, vision, commercial nous and no doubt plenty of fun along the way too.' The BONDS multi-year partnership marks the first time the Australian SailGP Team has had a Title Partner. As both Official Title Partner and Official Underwear Partner, BONDS brings more than a century of Aussie heritage - and signature comfort - to the BONDS Flying Roos. 'BONDS is famous for its signature Aussie spirit and it's no secret that Aussies love sport, being on the water, and just a hint of danger. Enter SailGP, the next exciting chapter in our journey to take BONDS to the world,' said Tanya Deans, President BONDS Australia. 'We're thrilled to join forces with such an iconic duo and an adrenaline-fueled sport ready for its moment in the spotlight. And how do you say no to Hugh Jackman? He's Australian royalty!" The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team will make their official debut under their new name and ownership at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix from June 7-8. The Australian crew aims to defend their leading position on the leaderboard while striving for a memorable victory to celebrate their new co-owners and partners. They will then head to UK waters for the highly-anticipated Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix, Portsmouth on July 19-20, kicking off an epic summer of European events.

Madeleine McCann search officially ENDS: Agony as JCB, radar & fingertip trawl of Brueckner's ‘rat run' turns up nothing
Could ground-penetrating radar help find Madeleine? As the latest search for Madeleine McCann enters a crucial phase, police appear to be using ground-penetrating radar in a fresh attempt to uncover long-buried clues. The operation, spanning 120 acres of scrubland and abandoned buildings near Praia da Luz, has seen officers clearing vegetation, wearing protective gear, and using a digger to shift rubble — all in a bid to access hidden terrain. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) sends electromagnetic pulses into the ground, detecting changes in material and potential buried objects without the need for large-scale excavation. It's a method often used to locate graves and burial sites. While previous searches have turned up no evidence, hopes remain that the advanced technology could help detectives locate something vital in the hunt for answers — 18 years after Madeleine disappeared. With just two days left in the current operation, Portuguese police remain tight-lipped, offering conflicting signals about how successful the search has been so far.
