Husband 'murdered his wife then left skipping rope next to her body to make it look like she had fallen down stairs by accident when she found out about his affair'

A husband killed his wife by pushing her down the stairs and putting a skipping rope next to her body to make it look like an accident after she discovered he was having an affair, a court has heard.The body of Louise Evans, 32, was found in the hallway at her home in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, after neighbours heard her scream followed by an 'almighty bang'.
Her husband, Alan, is alleged to have pushed his wife of 12 years and then smothered her as she lay unconscious in the early hours of July 10 last year.

Egyptian soldiers killed in Ismailiya and Sinai attacks

Security forces have been the victims of frequent attacks in Sinai

At least nine Egyptian soldiers and police officers have been killed in two attacks in different regions.

Officials said a car bomb killed three police officers in southern Sinai, hours after masked gunmen shot dead six soldiers in a patrol car outside the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya.
Rockets also hit a government-run satellite station in Cairo. No group has said it carried out the attacks.
Dozens died on Sunday in clashes between Islamists and security forces.
Thousands of supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi fought with security forces in Cairo, in the most intense violence for several weeks.

Many might see the rash of attacks in Sinai and elsewhere as implying that frustrated supporters of Mohammed Morsi were turning violent to vent their anger and take revenge. That narrative certainly suits the military and the interim government it backs. They have justified the eradication campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood by accusing them of involvement in violence.
But historically there has been a clear line between the "moderate" Islamism of the Brotherhood and the radicalism of al-Qaeda-style groups that carried out attacks on tourists in Egypt in the 1990s.
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri disapproved of the Brotherhood's involvement in democratic politics, and pointed to the current situation as proof of its mistake. But the anti-Brotherhood campaign has proven so relentless that it would not be surprising if some supporters were to see violence as the only option. Though clearly that would only provoke further repression.

Cairo itself has returned to calm, although the Islamists have urged their supporters to continue their protests.

In Monday's string of attacks:

• An officer was among at least six soldiers killed in a drive-by shooting by gunmen outside Ismailiya
• Three police officers died and 40 people were injured in the car-bomb attack in al-Tour, southern Sinai, which left a four-storey building used by the security forces significantly damaged
• Assailants fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a state-owned satellite station in the Maadi suburb of Cairo, reportedly causing damage to a satellite dish

Police in Qaliubiya, north of Cairo, arrested 38 members of the Muslim Brotherhood carrying petrol bombs, firecrackers and masks as they stormed a metro station, reported Mena state news agency.
The Brotherhood members "opened fire on police troops and residents and destroyed entrance and exit gates of the station", it said.
Security forces have been the frequent victims of attacks in northern Sinai, where analysts say a fully fledged insurgency is building.

Dozens were hurt in the attack in al-Tour

But the south of the peninsula, which is a centre of tourism, had remained largely peaceful until the attack in al-Tour on Monday.
Sinai is a magnet for militants, and weapons have been shipped there from Libya.
The Egyptian military is in the middle of its biggest operation in Sinai for many years, he adds.
Monday's attacks will raise further fears of a confrontation between Islamists and the army, correspondents say.

US credits Syria's Assad over chemical weapons destruction

John Kerry says Syria's co-operation "is not insignificant"

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime deserves credit for complying with a chemical weapons deal, US Secretary of State John Kerry has said.

He was speaking after international monitors said the destruction of Syria's stockpile had begun.
The mission was established under a UN resolution, which was passed after a deal between Russia and the US.
The resolution followed international outrage at a chemical weapons attack near Damascus in August.
"The process has begun in record time and we are appreciative for the Russian co-operation and obviously for the Syrian compliance," Mr Kerry said after talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit in Bali, Indonesia.
"I think it's extremely significant that yesterday, Sunday, within a week of the (UN) resolution being passed, some chemical weapons were being destroyed.
"I think it's a credit to the Assad regime, frankly. It's a good beginning and we welcome a good beginning."

Syria's chemical weapons

• Syria believed to possess more than 1,000 tonnes of chemical agents and pre-cursor chemicals, including blister agent, sulphur mustard, and sarin nerve agent; also thought to have produced most potent nerve agent, VX
• US believes Syria's arsenal can be "delivered by aircraft, ballistic missile, and artillery rockets"
• Syria acceded to Chemical Weapons Convention on 14 September; it signed Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention in 1972 but never ratified it

The destruction of Syria's chemical arsenal is being overseen by a team from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

An official on the joint OPCW-UN delegation said on Sunday: "The first day of destruction and disabling is over and missile warheads, aerial bombs, along with mobile and static mixing and filling units, were dealt with. Work continues tomorrow and in the next few days."
The actual destruction of the stockpile, being carried out by the Syrians, is not expected to be straightforward, as some sites are in combat zones.
It is the first time the OPCW - based in The Hague - has been asked to oversee the destruction of a chemical weapons armoury during a conflict.
The Syrian government gave details of its chemical weapons arsenal last month to the OPCW under the Russia-US agreement which also provided for Damascus to join the Chemical Weapons Convention.
That arsenal is thought to include more than 1,000 tonnes of sarin and the blister agent sulphur mustard among other banned chemicals.

Inspectors in Damascus are on an unprecedented mission

In an interim report earlier this year, UN chemical weapons inspectors confirmed that the nerve agent sarin had been used in the attack in Ghouta on the outskirts of Damascus on 21 August.
It was estimated to have killed hundreds of people and was blamed by the United States and other Western powers on the regime of Bashar al-Assad. But he accuses Syrian rebels of being behind it.
Peace conference Under the terms of the US-Russia deal, Syria's chemical weapons capability should be removed by the middle of 2014.
The speed with which the team has been able to reach the sites and start the process of destruction underlines the urgency of the mission
It was hoped that the new climate of co-operation would help bring about a wider conference in Geneva on ending the Syrian conflict.
UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi was quoted on French media on Sunday as saying he was encouraging all parties to come to Geneva in the second half of November but that peace talks were not a certainty.
Mr Assad denies that his forces had used chemical weapons, blaming the rebels instead.
More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising began in 2011 and millions more have fled Syria.

Egypt: '44 dead' in clashes amid rival demonstrations

"Egypt's deep divisions ere brutally exposed"

At least 44 people have been killed and scores hurt in Egypt in clashes between police and supporters of the deposed Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

More than 200 members of the Muslim Brotherhood were arrested in Cairo, where 40 of the deaths were reported.
Supporters of Mr Morsi marched in several cities, as the military-backed government marked the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Morsi supporters say he was deposed in a military coup in July.
'Critical time' Hundreds of people had gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square to celebrate the anniversary.
Jets and Apache helicopters flew overhead in formation, as part of a grand display of military hardware by the government.
The crowd cheered the flypasts, a number of people carrying portraits of defence chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Some want him to stand as Egypt's next president.
But the  supporters of Mr Morsi also took to the streets in their thousands, trying to make their way to the square and calling Gen Sisi a murderer.
Security forces used tear gas and fired into the air to stop them.

The rival protests in Cairo turned into running street battles

More than 200 members of the Muslim Brotherhood have been arrested in connection with the violence.

Supporters of the military have been converging on Tahrir Square to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war

President Mansour laid a wreath as part of planned commemorations

Egyptian society remains polarised by the military overthrow of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July.

In the upmarket Dokki district, a number of protesters were hit by live rounds, some by birdshot. In return they threw rocks at police and soldiers, our correspondent says.
The street battles raged for hours, with small fires burning and black smoke rising in several parts of the capital.
But the military succeeded in keeping the rival supporters apart, our correspondent says.
The interior ministry earlier warned it would confront any "attempts that may disturb the 6 October celebrations", the Mena state news agency reported.
In a televised address, Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi described it as a "critical time" for the country and urged Egyptians to "stand together, be optimistic about the future".
The health ministry said that in addition to the Cairo deaths, one person was killed in Delga, about 300km (190 miles) south of Cairo, and another in Bani Suef, 80km south of the capital.
There were also clashes in the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya.
Hundreds of Islamist protesters have died in violence since the Egyptian military deposed Mr Morsi in July, 13 months after he was elected as president.
He and other senior Brotherhood figures have been imprisoned and face trial.
The authorities are moving to seize the movement's assets after its activities were banned as part of a crackdown.
However, Brotherhood supporters have continued to take to the streets to protest - albeit in smaller numbers than before.

Tory MP Adam Afriyie tries to force early EU referendum

Adam Afriyie: "British businesses need certainty"

Prominent Conservative backbencher Adam Afriyie has said he will try to force the government to hold an early vote on whether the UK should leave the EU.

The prime minister has promised to hold an in/out referendum in 2017 if he wins the next general election, but Mr Afriyie said voters were "not convinced" that it would happen.
He said he would push for a vote in October 2014 instead.
But Home Secretary Theresa May warned that Mr Afriyie had "got it wrong".
And a Downing Street spokesman said of Mr Afriyie's plan: "The PM will not let it stand."
Mr Afriyie - who has denied newspaper claims he is being groomed to replace party leader David Cameron - said he would table an amendment to the European Union (Referendum) Bill on Monday.
'Absolutely delighted' Mr Cameron has pledged to renegotiate the UK's relationship with the EU before an in/out referendum in 2017.
But, speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics programme, Mr Afriyie said there would be "ample time" to conduct this renegotiation by as early as next year.
"By having a referendum in 2014, it gives us 12 months to renegotiate," he said. "But more than that, it kick-starts negotiations."

”

Downing Street spokesman

EU member states would need to "accommodate" British demands for reforms "if they wish us to remain", he added.

He argued: "I think it strengthens the prime minister's hand."
The MP said 80% of people wanted a referendum, and more than 50% of people wanted a referendum this side of the election.
"British businesses need certainty," he said.
"Look, we can carry on kicking this can down the road forever.
"But I've had a struggle with my conscience over this one.
"I don't want to cause any trouble over it, but I think it's absolutely essential that Parliament and MPs have the opportunity to search their souls and to give people a referendum this side of the election."
he predicted that - without a referendum before 2015 - "large numbers of people will continue to vote UKIP whatever happens - and if they do, there is a distinct danger that Labour will gain a majority and we will never see a referendum at all".
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he would be "absolutely delighted" if Britain could have an early referendum.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage says he would be "absolutely delighted" by a potential referendum over the EU

 that a referendum before 2015 would be good for British industry and business.
"Adam Afriyie has put his finger on the real problem - and that's that four years ago, Mr Cameron gave us a cast-iron guarantee that there would be a referendum.
"This time last year, he was saying there would not be a referendum, and he is now saying there should be a referendum.
"People are not quite sure what to believe."
But Mrs May, speaking on the same programme, said: "We need to be negotiating that settlement with the European Union and then put to the British people the Europe of the future - not the Europe of the past - and give them that opportunity to say in or out.
"What is crucial is that we have, at the next election, a Conservative party that will be offering people that renegotiation of a new settlement with Europe, looking to the future and then putting that to the British people in an in/out referendum."
Backbench Conservative MP James Wharton is attempting to enshrine his party leadership's referendum pledge in law - without the support of coalition partners the Liberal Democrats - with his European Union (Referendum) Bill.
As a private member's bill, it is vulnerable to being delayed by procedural tactics from MPs who oppose it, and will only become law if the government allocates enough parliamentary time for its proponents to overcome any such hurdles.
Mrs May warned that Mr Afriyie's amendment to the bill could "jeopardise" its prospects entirely.

Home Secretary Theresa May says Conservative MP Adam Afriyie has "got it wrong"

And Mr Wharton  the amendment could "kill" his bill.
"My concern is that any amendment, no matter how well-meaning it might be, is going to make the progress of the bill more difficult and it'll make it easier for those MPs who want to use procedural techniques to slow it down and stop it... that bit more possible.
"I don't want to see that. I'd like to see my bill go through and I think this harms the chances of that happening."
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Simon Hughes, whose party opposes a referendum on the EU unless further powers are handed from Westminster to Brussels, said a 2014 referendum would be a "barmy" distraction from the government's attempts to boost UK economic growth.
Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the Conservative leadership had scheduled a referendum in 2017 due to "internal party management as much as anything else".
The PM's promise of a "grand, unilateral renegotiation of Britain's relationship with the EU" was "deeply flawed and bound to unravel", he added, in pre-released extracts of a speech to be delivered in London on Tuesday.
The European Union (Referendum) Bill is due to return to the House of Commons for further debate on 8 November

Mexico 'monster truck' crash kills eight at air show

Dozens were said to have been injured

At least eight people have been killed and dozens injured at a show in Mexico after a modified pick-up known as a monster truck crashed into spectators.

At least one child was said to be among the dead.
The monster truck - with tyres said to be 1.5 metres (nearly 5ft) high - ploughed into a stand.
The vehicle was taking part in a demonstration at an annual air show attended by thousands in the northern city of Chihuahua on Saturday evening.
'Hit his head' The monster truck was performing a demolition stunt which involved crushing two cars beneath its huge tyres.
Eyewitness video showed the truck completing one pass, driving over the cars, then turning for a second attempt.
It accelerated much more quickly this time and landed heavily over the second car before veering off to the right and into the stand.

The monster truck was performing a demolition stunt

Paramedics helped evacuated those hurt - up to 50 were treated in hospital

A spokesman for the Chihuahua state prosecutors' office, Carlos Gonzalez, put the number of injured at about 80.
He said prosecutors were looking at the possibility that mechanical failure meant the driver was unable to disengage the accelerator.
But some witnesses said the driver may have lost control after hitting his head on the interior of the truck.
Daniel Dominguez told Associated Press he was watching the show with a group of relatives.
"The driver hit his head and his helmet flew off," Mr Dominguez said. "The truck came directly at where we were.''
Another spectator, Jesus Manuel Ibarra, told the agency: "I fell over, and when I turned around I saw the tyre very close. It hit me and threw me to the other side."
A call has gone out from local health services for blood donations.
The BBC's Will Grant in Mexico says some people are now calling for an investigation into safety measures at events like this and are asking how the audience could be placed so close to trucks performing stunts with only limited barriers in place.

Late goals from substitutes Eden Hazard and Willian defeated Norwich and gave Chelsea their first Premier League away win of the season.

Norwich 1

Pilkington 68′

Chelsea 3

Oscar 4′ Hazard 85′ Willian 86′

Late goals from substitutes Eden Hazard and Willian defeated Norwich and gave Chelsea their first Premier League away win of the season.

Oscar put the visitors ahead with a first-time shot from inside the area, but Anthony Pilkington equalised with a header midway through the second half.
Norwich pressed late on but they were punished when Hazard stabbed in after a swift counter attack.
Willian curled in a third a minute later to seal victory.

Memories of 2007 for Mourinho

Jose Mourinho's last Premier League away win as Chelsea manager was the 2-1 victory at Reading in August 2007. Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba scored Chelsea's goals in that match.

The win was much needed for Jose Mourinho, with his side having struggled away from Stamford Bridge prior to arriving at Carrow Road.

The Blues boast a 100% record at home in the league but had drawn two and lost one of their first three away games.
Denied the services of suspended and injured striker Fernando Torres, Mourinho gave Demba Ba only a second start of the season.
The former Newcastle man was evidently determined to prove his worth, making a nuisance of himself from the outset and taking only four minutes to make a telling impact.
Frank Lampard lofted a pass towards the Norwich area for Ba, who shook off the attention of a defender to bring the ball under control and then clip a pass for the onrushing Oscar, who finished with the outside of his boot.
It was all so effortless, a word that summed up Chelsea's play in the early stages of the game as they sprayed passes around with ease.

Hughton sees positives despite defeat

Only a smart save from John Ruddy prevented the visitors adding a second in the 14th minute as Juan Mata showed great vision to cut open the Norwich defence and put Ba clear on the left, but his low shot was tipped wide by the City goalkeeper.
Still, the visitors needed to be alert at the back as Norwich's first chance almost brought the equaliser. Robert Snodgrass got in behind the Chelsea defence and crossed for Jonny Howson, but his close-range shot was kept out by Petr Cech at his near post.
That chance gave the Canaries belief that openings were there to be exploited and the momentum of the game shifted in their favour after the break.
Winger Pilkington had a penalty appeal waved away after going down in the area under a challenge by Ramires, before John Terry hooked a clearance off the chest of Ricky van Wolfswinkel as the striker attempted to get on the end of Robert Snodgrass's ball.
But the hosts were deservedly level when Van Wolfswinkel cushioned a header from Martin Olsson's cross into the path of Pilkington, who nodded in from barely six yards.

My tactics are always fantastic - Mourinho

From then on the game was wide open. Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic forced Ruddy into a low dive, while the introduction of Nathan Redmond added bite to the Norwich attack and he saw a decent drive saved by Cech.
The home side could sense a possible winner and they pushed forward inside the final 10 minutes, but that ultimately proved their undoing.
Willian sparked a quick counter and fed a pass to Oscar, who in turn picked out Hazard's run and the Belgian capitalised on Alex Tetty's attempted clearance to poke the ball under the body of Ruddy.
A minute later the win was confirmed as Willian pounced on a loose ball before expertly curling a shot into the net for his first Chelsea goal.

Syria chemical arms removal begins

The team is working under the terms of UN resolution

Disarmament experts from the international chemical weapons watchdog have begun destroying Syria's arsenal, a monitoring official has said.

The operation is being carried out by a team from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
The mission was established under a UN resolution passed after agreement between Russia and the US.
The resolution followed international outrage at a chemical weapons attack near Damascus in August.

Analysis

So far so good. Syria has joined the Chemical Weapons Convention. It has made its declarations about what it has in the way of munitions and infrastructure.
Now on to destruction.
The first target is to eliminate equipment for producing chemical agents and for filling munitions.
These two categories of equipment must be destroyed by November.
While chemical processes will ultimately be used to neutralise Syria's large stocks of precursor chemicals - the building blocks for militarised chemical agents - brute force may be all that is required for this first stage.
Key components of production facilities can be smashed or otherwise put out of action. So, too, can filling sites for munitions.
The empty bomb or shells can simply be run over with a heavy vehicle. But this is all still uncharted territory - an unprecedented and accelerated programme to rid a country of its chemical weapons arsenal in the midst of a hot civil war.
No wonder then that many experts remain sceptical. The real test of the Syrian authorities' willingness to implement this agreement is only just beginning.

In an interim report, UN chemical weapons inspectors confirmed that the nerve agent sarin had been used in the attack in Ghouta on the outskirts of the city on August 21.

It was estimated to have killed hundreds of people and was blamed by the United States and other Western powers on the regime of Bashar al-Assad. But he accuses Syrian rebels of being behind it.
"Today is the first day of destruction, in which heavy vehicles are going to run over and thus destroy missile warheads, aerial chemical bombs and mobile and static mixing and filling units," a source with the inspection operation told the French AFP news agency.
It is not clear at which of the 19 chemical weapons sites declared by the government Sunday's operation is taking place.
Destruction of the stockpile is not expected to be straightforward as some sites are in combat zones as Syria is still ravaged by civil war.
It is the first time the OPCW - based in the Hague - has been asked to destroy a chemical weapons armoury during a conflict.
The Syrian government gave details of its chemical weapons arsenal last month to the OPCW under the Russia-US agreement which also provided for Damascus to join the Chemical Weapons Convention.
That arsenal is thought to include more than 1,000 tonnes of sarin and the blister agent sulphur mustard among other banned chemicals.
Peace conference Under the terms of the agreement between the US and Russia Syria's chemical weapons capability should be removed by the middle of 2014.
The speed with which the team has been able to reach the sites and start the process of destruction underlines the urgency of the mission.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has meanwhile suggested Germany could mediate to try to end the 30-month-long civil war.
Speaking to Germany's Der Spiegel magazine in an interview to be published on Monday, Mr Assad said he "would be delighted if envoys came from Germany".
But he stressed that Damascus would not negotiate with rebels unless they laid down their weapons.
Mr Assad again repeated his denial that his troops had used chemical weapons, blaming the rebels instead.
More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising began in 2011 and millions more have fled Syria.

Lampedusa boat disaster: Divers resume body recovery

The BBC's Julian Miglierini says the migrants had almost made it to the coast, sinking just 800m away

Divers have resumed work to recover the bodies of more than 250 African migrants missing since their boat sank off Lampedusa island on Thursday.

Weather conditions that hampered recovery for two days have now improved. So far, 111 bodies have been recovered, and 155 people survived.
The authorities have denied allegations that they were slow to mount a rescue.
France has called for an urgent meeting of EU, after Italian calls for European help to tackle the migrant influx.

A man from Eritrea is rescued: "You have to search"

Tens of thousands of migrants attempt the perilous crossing from North Africa to Sicily and other Italian islands each year, and accidents are common - but this week's shipwreck was among the deadliest on record.
'Clandestine immigration' The survivors are to be placed under investigation for "clandestine immigration", as provided for by a controversial immigration law pushed through by right-wing parties in 2002. The offence carries a 5,000-euro (£4,230; $6,780) fine.
Italy has said it will amend immigration laws. Members of parliament have complained that some of its provisions discourage people from helping migrants in distress.

Bad weather hampered the divers' work for two days in a row

Fishermen cast flowers on Saturday in the sea near spot where the ship sank

This image released by the Italian coastguard shows some of the migrants who were rescued

But their boat lies at the bottom of the sea, along with many bodies of those who did not survive

The fisherman who arrived first at the site of the accident, Vito Fiorino, has accused the coast guard of wasting time by filming footage of rescue efforts.
"They refused to take on board some people we'd already saved because they said protocol forbade it," he was quoted as saying by Ansa news agency.
A report in local newspaper La Sicilia said two boats belonging to Italy's Financial Guard, which carries out a range of police and rescue duties, had remained in port.
The coast guard denied that there was any delay in its rescue effort.
"After we received the alarm by radio at 07:00 we immediately intervened with out boats, arriving on at the site of the shipwreck at 07:20," it said in a statement.
Key migrant routes to southern Europe

Judicial authorities said they had no evidence of delays.

And two of the migrants have told the BBC that boats did rescue them, but it took a while.
"After swimming for a long time, probably around three hours, boats started to arrive to rescue us. Rescue boats, small boats, all the boats in the area came to save us, they dragged us out of the water," Futsum, 20, from Eritrea said.
The head of a fishermen's association, Toto Martello, denied in turn reports that three fishermen sailed straight past the scene of the accident.
The 20m (66ft) boat carrying more than 500 people - mostly from Eritrea and Somalia - was approaching Lampedusa early on Thursday when it began taking on water after its motor stopped working. Some of those on board then reportedly set fire to a piece of material to try to attract the attention of passing ships, only to have the fire spread to the rest of the vessel.
The boat - which set sail from the Libyan port of Misrata - is thought to have capsized when everyone moved to one side.
Of the bodies recovered so far 58 were men, 49 were women and two were children of one and six years old.

Madeleine McCann's parents 'greatly encouraged' by new inquiry

Madeleine disappeared from her family's holiday apartment in the Algarve in 2007,aged three

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have said they are "greatly encouraged" by new information about their daughter's disappearance.

Madeleine was three when she went missing in Portugal, in May 2007.
A reconstruction of events surrounding her disappearance will be broadcast on the BBC's Crimewatch on 14 October.
Kate and Gerry McCann said "pieces of the jigsaw" had started fitting together since Scotland Yard opened its own investigation in July.
Police have said the Crimewatch appeal, which will also be broadcast in the Netherlands and Germany, is based on the "latest, most detailed understanding" of events.
It comes after police said phone records may be key to the case.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police are analysing data from phones belonging to people who were in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine's disappearance. They say 41 people of interest have been identified.
Madeleine, from Rothley, Leicestershire, went missing from a holiday apartment as her parents dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends at the Algarve resort.
Her parents said: "We are greatly encouraged by new information coming to light with pieces of the jigsaw now fitting together.
"We're really hopeful the forthcoming Crimewatch appeal will bring further new evidence which will take us a step closer to finding Madeleine and to bringing those responsible for her abduction to justice."
'Hold the key' The Metropolitan Police also said they hoped the reconstruction would produce new lines of inquiry.
Detectives, who have interviewed 442 people as part of their investigation - codenamed Operation Grange - are attempting to track down as many people present in the Portuguese resort around 3 May 2007, when Madeleine disappeared, as possible.
Senior investigating officer, Det Ch Insp Andy Redwood, said: "We now believe we have the most complete picture to date of the events surrounding her disappearance.
"We are making targeted and new appeals for help from the public.

Police issued a computer-generated image (r) of how Madeleine might have looked aged nine

"I truly believe there are people out there who hold the key to Madeleine's disappearance, and that so far they may be completely unaware of that fact."
A three-year-old actress will play Madeleine in the Crimewatch reconstruction. A small production team from the programme spent a week filming abroad for the new appeal.
The McCanns and Mr Redwood will also speak to presenter Kirsty Young live in the studio.
The Portuguese investigation officially closed in July 2008, but authorities are backing the Scotland Yard inquiry and officers from both countries will work together pursuing new leads.
The Metropolitan Police now has a team of six Portuguese detectives based in Faro who are carrying out inquiries on its behalf.

Four Nato soldiers killed in Afghanistan

International forces are due to leave by the end of next year

Four soldiers serving with the Nato-led international force in Afghanistan have been killed in the south of the country.

Nato said they were killed by enemy combatants while taking part in an operation alongside Afghan forces.
It did not give the nationalities of those who died, but a military official told AP news agency they were Americans.
They were hit by a roadside bomb, the official said.
No further details of the attack were given.
The Taliban are reported to have become more active in the south as international forces scale back their operations in preparation for withdrawal by the end of 2014.
Nato troops, which lead the International Security and Assistance Force (Isaf), are transferring responsibility for security to Afghan troops as the pullout draws near.

US commando raids target Islamist leaders in Africa

Al-Libi was on the FBI's most wanted list

US special forces have carried out two separate raids in Africa targeting senior Islamist militants, American officials say.

In Libya, US commandos captured an al-Qaeda leader accused of the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Anas al-Libi was seized in the capital Tripoli.
And a leader of the al-Shabab group was targeted in southern Somalia, but that raid appears to have failed.
The al-Shabab leader - who has not been identified - is suspected of involvement in last month's attack in the Westgate shopping centre in Kenya's capital Nairobi, which left at least 67 people dead.
$5m bounty Anas al-Libi's relatives and US officials said he had been seized in the Libyan capital early on Saturday.
He was parking outside his house when three vehicles encircled him, his car's window was smashed and his gun was seized before he was taken away, his brother Nabih was quoted as saying by AP.
He added that Libi's wife also saw the attack, describing the abductors as foreign-looking "commandos".
The raid was conducted with the knowledge of the Libyan government, a US official was quoted as saying by CNN.

More than 220 people died in the 1998 embassy attack in Kenya and Tanzania

Libi "is currently lawfully detained by the US military in a secure location outside of Libya", Pentagon spokesman George Little said.
The 49-year-old is believed to have been one of the masterminds behind the 1998 US embassy attacks, which killed more than 220 people in Kenya and Tanzania.
He has been indicted in a New York court in connection with the attacks.
Libi - whose real name is Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai - has been on the FBI's most wanted list for more than a decade with a $5m (£3.1m) bounty on his head.
Al-Qaeda's leadership has been consistently targeted since the killing of Osama Bin Laden by US special forces in 2011 in Pakistan.
'Mission aborted' Meanwhile, the US defence department confirmed that special forces had carried out a seaborne operation in Somalia's coastal town of Barawe.
Mr Little said the forces "were involved in a counter-terrorism operation against a known al-Shabab terrorist". He declined to provide any further details.
Initial reports in the US media quoted unnamed US officials as saying that the suspect had been captured or killed by US Navy Seals in the pre-dawn raid on a villa.
However, the officials later said that the Seals failed to find the intended target, who was not identified.

The raid was carried out by members of Seal Team Six - the same unit that killed bin Laden, a US military official told AP.
The official added that in Barawe the commandos had decided to abort the mission after encountering fierce resistance from al-Shabab fighters.
"The Barawe raid was planned a week and a half ago," a US security official told the New York Times.
"It was prompted by the Westgate attack," added the official, who was speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Al-Shabab earlier told the BBC that "white soldiers" had arrived by boat in Barawe and rebels had repulsed them, losing a fighter.
Local group commander Mohamed Abu Suleiman said the raid had failed and the group remained in control of Barawe.
Both Britain and Turkey deny al-Shabab claims that their forces were involved in the operation.
Barawe residents said say they were woken up by heavy fighting before dawn.
"Gunfire broke out for about 10-15 minutes," an eyewitness told AFP news agency.
Al-Shabab has said it carried out the attack in the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi on 21 September

US shutdown: Defence staff told to return to work

'

Most of the 400,000 US defence department staff sent home amid the US government shutdown have been told to return to work next week.

Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the decision was based on an interpretation of the Pay Our Military Act.
A budget row between Republicans and Democrats has forced the closure of federal services for five days now.
But the sides have now voted to approve back-pay for the 800,000 federal workers sent home without salaries.
In a rare moment of bipartisan co-operation, the House of Representatives on Saturday approved by 407-0 a bill to pay the federal workers once the shutdown ends.
There remains no sign of any deal on the federal budget, however.
Republicans who control the House of Representatives have refused to approve the budget, saying they would only do so if President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law was delayed or stripped of funding.
Mr Obama and the Democrats have refused, noting the law was passed in 2010, subsequently approved by the Supreme Court, and was a central issue in the 2012 election which Mr Obama won.
'Undiminished' The Pay Our Military Act was passed by Congress shortly before the shutdown.

John Kerry: Shutdown "an example of the robustness of our democracy"

Mr Hagel said earlier in the week he wanted to find a way to get his civilian staff back to work.
He said lawyers had told him the Pay Our Military Act permitted employees "whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members" to be exempted.
"I expect us to be able to significantly reduce - but not eliminate - civilian furloughs under this process," he said.
Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday warned that any prolonged shutdown could affect the US internationally.
But, speaking at a meeting of Asian leaders in Indonesia, he said any impact was "momentary" and Washington's commitment to the region was "undiminished".
President Obama cancelled his Asia visit because of the shutdown.
In his weekly radio address, Mr Obama urged the Republicans to "end this farce".
The next key deadline will be 17 October.
Unless Congress agrees to raise the $16.7 trillion (£10.4 trillion) statutory borrowing limit by then, the US could default on its debts for the first time in its history.
Mr Obama said: "For as reckless as a government shutdown is, an economic shutdown that comes with default would be dramatically worse."
Mr Obama has refused to negotiate with the Republicans until they pass a temporary bill to end the shutdown and raise the debt limit.
The leader of the Republicans in the House, Eric Cantor, said negotiations could end the deadlock, but that President Obama "seems to be unwilling to sit down and talk with us".
Mr Cantor said: "It doesn't make any sense if the president has an axe to grind with the opposing party, why he would want to put the American people in the middle of that?
