Uploaded by BBCNewsHeadlines on Jan 12, 2012

Richard Desmond has told the Leveson Inquiry into press standards that the parents of Madeleine McCann waited four months before taking legal action about stories which suggested they may have been responsible for her disappearance.

The media mogul suggested that they seemed "quite happy" that the story was kept on the front page.

He claimed that the Daily Express had done everything it could to try to verify its reports about the child's disappearance in Portugal.

And he accused the Press Complaints Commission of scapegoating his paper.

BBC News - Daily Star Editor 'sorry' for McCann distress

Uploaded by BBCNewsHeadlines on Jan 12, 2012

The editor of the Daily Star has told the Leveson Inquiry into press standards that she regrets the paper's coverage of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The Daily Star was forced to pay the McCanns £500,000 for libellous stories including one headlined "Maddie 'sold' by hard-up McCanns".

Dawn Neesom said: "The source of the stories was entirely coming from Portugal and we were being fed stories by the Portuguese police and press.

"It was a risk and to this day I regret what happened in the McCann case and all I can do is repeat the apology on page one for the hurt and distress we caused them."
