Case against Madeline McCann’s parents ‘on verge of collapse’

London, Sept 19 : The case against the parents of Brit toddler Madeleine McCann is likely to be dropped, following new evidence.

Kate and Gerry McCann have admitted that their four year-old daughter’s DNA was found in a car they hired 25 days after she went missing in May this year during a holiday in Portugal.

However, it looks like Madeleine’s DNA was transferred into the car when the McCanns hastily left their apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.

They were moving into a nearby apartment and did not want to reveal the location.

Millions in UK 'imagine' food intolerance

London, September 19 (ANI): A new poll has shown that millions of people in the UK have self-diagnosed a food intolerance, and may be avoiding key foods as a result.

The study conducted by a testing firm called Yorktest has revealed that less than a quarter of 12 million of the people, who claim to be food intolerant, have had their condition formally diagnosed.
