Kate and Gerry McCann have told ITV News they are 'hopeful' they will find their daughter Madeleine on the fifth anniversary of her disappearance. Portuguese police say they have no grounds to re-open the case.
Kate McCann has said that she finds it too difficult to imagine a reunion with Madeleine:

Obviously I've had a few dreams along the way and they have been so tangible that it has been incredibly painful, because that's what we want every day.

I've been interviewing the McCanns about Madeleine for five years now and the first thing that strikes you is their togetherness.
The McCanns said they have "no doubt" the Portuguese police will eventually reopen the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance.
