A judge in Portugal is this morning reviewing a 4,000-page dossier as Madeleine McCann's parents face an agonising wait to learn if they will be charged over her disappearance.

The judge has 10 days to consider the contents of the dossier, which was handed over by police on Tuesday.

It was passed on at the instruction of Jose Cunha de Magalhaes e Meneses, a public prosecutor based in Portimao in the Algarve.
