How Foreign Newspapers Portrayed the Disappearance of Madeleine

There has been much written about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, in foreign newspapers and blogs in other languages,  over the past 7 years. We know most, if not all, that's been written in the Portuguese newspapers, but not so much about what's been written in other newspapers or blogs. So, I think it's beneficial to have a thread entirely dedicated to translations about the case on a single thread. I suggest this thread will be used solely for this purpose. If anyone feels there is an interesting transcript, can they take it to another thread to discuss?

Here is a starter. I will post more in the coming days/weeks.
