the not knowing. >> randi kaye joins me now. hard to believe it's been ten years. >> yeah, it's been a really long time, certainly for the mccann family. but they hope their daughter is one of the ones that does come home alive. given the ten-year anniversary now, kate mccann came out recently just this week saying that she still buys christmas gifts for madeleine mccann, hoping, you know, that she will come home. it's a real indication that there's still hope. >> you think after ten years, could she still be alive? >> well, scotland yard, who is still investigating this case, says there is zero evidence that she's dead. there isn't the evidence to prove that she is dead. the experts say that a younger child is when they're taken, the less likely it is that they're actually killed. all of the indications are that she was either taken and sold into some sort of adoption ring for a couple that wants a child or sold into some type of sex ring. obviously not ideal and certainly not what her parents would have wanted for her but that

cnn's randi kaye covered the story when it first broke and has a special report tonight about the parentsting for answers. >> there are two witnesses who say independent of one another that they saw what they described as a very ugly, pock-marked, or spotty-skinned man watching apartment 5a. >> reporter: another witness reported having seen suspicious men on a balcony near the mccanns' apartment, just hours before madeleine disappeared. >> meanwhile, an upstairs neighbor saw another man acting very suspiciously in the little pathway between the pool garden and apartment 5a. >> reporter: and there was more. british police released a sketch of one of the men they say had approached nearby apartments, asking residents for donations to a local orphanage. >> now, there was no such orphanage. so, clearly, these men were involved in some kind of a crime, possibly just burglary, but possibly something else. >> all right, randi kaye is with me now. randi, it sounds like someone may have been watching this family. do you think that's possible? >> i do, actually. and we certainly heard that from wit

more from 360's randy kaye. >> this is the man jared kushner met with in december 2016.a month after kushner's father-in-law trump was elected president. his name is sergey gorkov. he graduated from a russian academy that trains people to work in russian security forces. here's how the white house explained the nature of kushner's meeting with the banker. jared did a job wiin the campai, he want gts to be very clear about who he talked to. >> in a statement, the bank said, it's executives met with kushner, not as a representative of the white house, but as head of kushner companies. the ban said it's leaders met with numerous financial executives as it developed a new strategy for the bank. >> it's interesting that the russians seemed to contradict what jared kushner said when he said that he was acting as a liaison between the campaign and foreign governments, so i'm sure that that will be an issue, that we'll try to clarify. >> reporter: what exactly was discussed between kushner and the banker remains a mystery. though jared kushner is going to answer the senate intel

randi kaye, cnn, new york. >>> and now let's get perspective from claire sebastien live in moscow. to have you with us. so again the headline per "washington post," kushner sought secret line to the kremlin. big story here that will certainly play through the day. is it playing there in russia? >> reporter: it's getting a small amount of attention in some of the russia media, but we reached out to the russian foreign ministry for comment and they replied saying that this was mccarthyism or internal political squabbles. i followed up with a question about whether the ministry has had any communication from its ambassador in washington, had any knowledge about the request for jared are kushner about a secure channel with moscow, and there was no direct comment, but simply saying that if we want to know more about jared kushner's business or political contacts, it would be worth turning our attention to the middle east, programs a reference perhaps a reference to the dealings with saudi arabia. but this is keeping with the rhetoric that we've seen from moscow, basically painting this

randy kaye tonight looks back. >> reporter: the warn came january 26, from then acting attorney general to white house counsel don mcgahn. >> i called don mcgahn first thing that morning and told him i had a very sensitive matter that i needed to discuss with him. >> a sensitive matter concerning then national security advisor michael flynn who had just been interviewed at the white house two days before. yates warned that flynn hadn't been forthcoming with about conversations he had with russian ambassador sergey kislayak. >> it set up a situation where the national security advisor could be blackmailed by the russian. >> reporter: on january 27, the day after her warning, yates testified she returned to the white house for a second meeting with mcgahn. during that meeting, yates said mcgahn asked her if he could look at the evidence that had her cso concerned about general flynn. the date of january 27 is key, and here's why, donald trump has now admitted that he had dinner with fbi director james comey that very evening, january 27 at the white house. a private dinner soon after the

here now is cnn's randi kaye. >> reporter: this is the man jared kushner met with in december 2016, justfter kushner's father-in-law, donald trump was elected president. his name is gorkov, a russian banker, the chairman of the bank, he also has ties to vladimir putin who appointed him to head the back. gorkov graduated from the russian academy that trains people to work in russian intelligence and security forces. here is how the white house explains the nature of kushner's meeting with the banker. >> jared did a job in the campaign where he was a conduit to leaders and wants to make sure he is very clear about the role that he played, who he talked to. and that's it. >> that may be true, but it doesn't square with what the bank itself said about the meeting. in a statement, it said jared met with the representatives, not as a representative of the white house but as head of the kushner companies. the bank said he met with global executives as he developed a new strategy for the bank. >> it's interesting that the russians seem to contradict what jared kushner said when he said that he w

randi kaye, cnn, new york. >>> more now on what this adds up to. how to make sense of the flood of information that seems to grow. for that we're glad to turn to general hayden. why would someone like kushner need a direct line to putin if that's what he was looking for or the president was looking for? why would he be talking to a banker with the kind of background that he has? >> well, the published story, anderson, is that kislyak recommended that he talk to him, which might have been kislyak's way of doing what the trump team wanted, which was to establish this back channel to president putin. to answer your question, why would they want to do that while we were in a transition, why would they want to do that while the then president obama was coming up on a serious discussion with regard to sanctions against this same vladimir putin and the russian federation, i just can't explain that. that's why this is a controversial thing. back channels is back channels. fine. i have been a back channel for president bush. doing it this way with this acto
