Police say they have "seized a number of items" during last week's search at a Portuguese lake for missing Madeleine McCann.
German police have said today they cannot confirm whether the items taken from their dig in Portugal are connected to the disappearance of Madeleine but they will now take time to analyse them carefully.
Investigators spent three days searching the surrounding area of the Arade dam and reservoir, about 30 miles from Praia da Luz — where Madeleine was last seen alive in 2007.
