Portugal later today. They have identified an area between the hotel where the McCann family was staying and a property connected to a suspect in the case, Christian Brueckner. Launching

"Richard, it's all about to begin again. Are the police acting on new information do you know?" asked Susanna. Richard replied: "Well that's what we don't know,

but as you've already reported Susanna they are here in force and ready to start what is an extensive search." He added: "I've just been speaking with the Portuguese

police officers who are guarding this particular scene just outside. Telling me they're expecting this search to start here in the next hour or two. "German police have applied for

a European investigation order, they will arrive here at the scene with a judicial warrant. The land owner can do nothing about that but sit back and watch and see what develops. "They

are looking at land associated in some way with Christian Brueckner, who the German police believe is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. "He is currently in

jail in Germany, that is in relation to the rape of an elderly woman in Praia da Luz. He was living in Praia da Luz or around Praia da Luz at the time that Madeleine disappeared 18 years

ago. "They will be looking at land close to the house, just a half a km or km outside Praia da Luz that he rented - other areas around the area too as well. Article continues below

"Metropolitan police telling us they're not involved in this but they will give support if required. Remember, they have been here in large numbers searching over the last 18

years. "Interestingly, Susanna and Ed, the MET has just been given another £100,000 by the government to continue the search for Madeleine McCann which is still very much in

people's minds. We will see over the next few days what develops." GOOD MORNING BRITAIN CONTINUES ON WEEKDAYS AT 6AM ON ITV AND ITV X.
