Videos to be released of maddy

The family of missing Madeleine McCann have released two video clips of their daughter.They were captured on a family friend's mobile phone the day the family left for their holiday in Portugal.Kate McCann has watched them regularly over the last 26 days since her daughter was abducted.In the images, blonde Madeleine, now aged four, can be seen wearing pink shorts, a light pink top and trainers.One clip - 13 seconds long - shows her sitting on an airport bus, the other - nine seconds - is of her boarding the flight. Holding hands with another little girl, she loses her footing and slips, grazing her shin on the third step.Speaking movingly about his daughter, Gerry McCann said she was so thrilled about going to Portugal, she refused to get upset about hurting herself.Holding her little pink rucksack, he said: "She was really brave. She started crying but stopped almost immediately."When we got to the top of the steps I saw she had grazed her shin. It looked really sore - the step was just the right height for her leg."It was something that usually would have caused ten minutes of crying rather than ten seconds."Meanwhile, Madeleine's parents will travel to Rome later to prepare for their meeting with the Pope.The couple, from Rothley, Leicestershire, will leave the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz where their daughter was abducted.It is the first time Mrs McCann has left Portugal since Madeleine disappeared. They are expected to use British retail tycoon Philip Green's private jet for the trip.They will be part of a general audience at the Vatican and will be introduced to the Pope at the end of the session.Mrs McCann wants to give Pope Benedict XVI a photograph of her daughter.
