"Our children give us strength": Kate and Gerry McCann speak about how they continue in search for Madd

Nearly seven years after Maddie disappeared, her parents say they have pictures of her all over their house so that they will remember her

Almost seven years after Madeleine McCann vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal, her parents have spoken about how their other two children provide them with strength.

Kate and Gerry McCann say that they have photographs of Maddie all over their house and keep their children, twins Sean and Amelie, who were two at the time, up to date with the progress of the police investigation.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly this morning on ITV, the couple also spoke about how life for them is defined before Madeleine disappeared and after.

Saturday marks the seventh anniversary since Maddie vanished from the flat in Praia da Luz a few days before her fourth birthday.

Lorraine asked where they get their strength and Gerry responded: "I get mine from Kate obviously."

Kate added: "I think from each other, from our children, from our family and friends."

Gerry said: "We have had unbelievable support, not just from those who are close to us, but the public support has been amazing."

He continued: "Our life is defined pre and post the abduction unfortunately. Leading up to Portugal, having had three very young children and a tough two or three years, full on and working etc, we were just coming through that. Life seemed good - really good. It's different now, because Sean and Amelie are really good kids, really happy and they bring tremendous amounts of joy so it's very much we were a family of five and now we are functioning as a family of four."

Kate added: "It's seven years down the line and we have adapted, but still weeks and months rolling by is still incredibly significant for us.

"Whether Madeleine had been found after a week, after six months, whether it's seven years and one week - that's better than 10 years or whatever, so it's really significant."

When asked if they will ever give up, Kate responded: "If we haven't found Madeleine, or we haven't found what's happened, then we haven't done enough. There's still work to be done."

Earlier, Kate backed a revamped alert system triggered when missing children are kidnapped or their lives are at risk.

She urged members of the public to sign up for Child Rescue Alerts, which will be overhauled later this month.

She said: "When a child is abducted, families are devastated and entire communities are torn apart. The agony of not knowing where your child is is almost impossible to imagine. The helplessness is at times overwhelming."

"But there is now something we can all do to help. Please sign up to receive alerts - you could save a child's life."

The mother also spoke of how she would prefer to know the truth about what happened to her daughter, even if it is "the worst case scenario".

She added: "But there is always the worst case scenario. That's always been a possibility and anyone who thinks that we're blinkered doesn't know us."

The new system will allow alerts to be issued via text, email, social media, digital billboards and to the media.

Members of the public can already sign up to receive alerts, although the new system will come into play on International Missing Children's Day on May 25.

A Child Rescue Alert was recently used in the hunt for murdered five-year-old April Jones, and the system is designed to make the most of the "golden hours" when a child goes missing.

Charlie Hedges from the National Crime Agency, who helped co-ordinate the appeals, said: "The success of Child Rescue Alert is down to each and every one of us. Now it's down to the public to sign up for the alerts so we can send the message as widely as possible when a child goes missing."

Jo Youle, chief executive of the charity Missing People, said "Every minute after their disappearance is crucial to bringing a child home safely. Child Rescue Alert will now mean the public and companies can help - and hopefully save these children's lives."

Kiss or kill: what robots can do for humanity

A human kiss can be delivered long-distance by a humanoid go-between… if it doesn't decide to blow you to pieces first. Those are just some of the innovations in robotics showcased at a festival in Sheffield this week Nicola Davis he Observer, Sunday 14 September 2014

From techno sheepdogs to android bed fellows , the promise of robotics and the lure of artificial intelligence appears to know no bounds. But will we ever be able to have a proper natter with a robot? And just what will they look like? Now is your chance to find out.
   
Experts will be sharing the latest news in a series of talks and demos under the banner of The New Age of Robotics as part of Sheffield's wide-ranging Festival of the Mind, which starts on 18 September.
    
“Science fiction robots are very different from real robots, and we want to show people what technologies are available now, what might be round the corner, and discuss the societal issues around those,” says Tony Prescott, director of the Sheffield Centre for Robotics and professor of cognitive neuroscience.
    
A collaboration between Sheffield University and the city, the festival will delve into the pros and cons of emerging technology. Among the talks, Professor Adrian Cheok from City University London will share a romantic vision of the future in his adults-only "X lecture", explaining how "digital intimacy" could let us share physical sensations, from hugs to smells. His team has developed the "Kissenger", a method for transmitting a long-distance smooch using a pair of devices that capture and replicate lip movement.
    
More cautious about embracing a techno-future, Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at Sheffield University and co-founder of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control, will explore the potential dangers of robo-warfare. "Robot weapons pose a new and terrifying threat to humanity," he says. "They will select their own targets and attack them without human involvement."
    
More likely to amuse than unnerve, however, are two robots on show as part of the festival‘s interactive exhibition. Able to display a range of emotions, the stateof-the-art humanoid, Zeno, is keen to challenge visitors to a game of Simon says, while Paro, a robo-seal developed in Japan, showcases one of the burgeoning applications for robots in health and social care. Prescott explains: “In our research we are looking at how useful this is – how effective it might be – in actually calming down people with Alzheimer's, which is one of the applications. And we're looking at how people with different personalities might respond to those kinds of robots.”
    
There's little doubt that as technology develops so too will the ethical and social dilemmas. But while some view a future “singularity” – the point where artificial intelligence exceeds our own – as spelling the end of mankind, Prescott has a more sanguine outlook. “I think our job as technologists is to think about those futures and to see what we can start to do now to ensure that we end up with the more optimistic scenarios being realized and avoiding the dangerous ones.
    
“This Festival of the Mind is one small part of that – engaging with people about things they are worried about, and then, in our research programmes, making sure that we anticipate those things.
