The mother of missing Swiss twins - whose father confessed to killing them before committing suicide - has joined a police search for her daughters.
Irina Lucidi boarded a French police helicopter to search for the six-year-old girls on the island of Corsica.
The father, Matthias Schepp, and the twins were last seen on a ferry from mainland France to Corsica on 31 January.
On 3 February, Mr Schepp threw himself under a train in Italy.
Irina Lucidi - and her brother - arrived on Corsica on Sunday and immediately joined the search with French and Swiss officers.
The police are focusing on the area between Propriano, south-west, and Bastia, north-east, from where Mr Schepp left Corsica - apparently alone - before committing suicide.
Mrs Lucidi said she had "not lost hope" of finding her children.
