yeah, again I think that is about culture clashes...I know some of the more quality reporters have really been trying to explain the differences in UK laws and policing media practices vs those in Portugal. At the start when they made the other guy a suspect the woman that is out there for the BBC was going to pains to explain how little the police there are allowed (or by tradition..not sure if it is an actual law) tell the media. Then with the parents being made official suspects we have had another crash course on how that is meant to be big time different than being made an official suspect in the UK. I swear, they never mention the other guy anymore but for a week he was on the cover of every tabloid here and they were calling him a pervert, etc.

We don't get that much about the coverage over there other than occasional pictures of the front pages where it looks like (but since it isn't English we don't really know) they aren't very friendly to the wife in particular.
