The search for Madeleine McCann

It's been 24 hours since police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann sealed off a large area of scrubland in Praia Da Luz.

Officers are expected to use dogs and 'ground penetrating radar' to search the scrubland, looking for signs of disturbed earth.

The site is about five minutes walk from the Ocean Club Complex where Madeleine disappeared seven years ago.

We talk to locals to hear their reactions to the search, which is happening just as the tourist season in in Praia Da Luz begins.
