A miraculous survival a woman whose heart stopped for six hours after she collapsed in a snowstorm in spain describes how doctors managed to revive her. And britains anthonyjoshua squares up for one of the biggest fights of his career in saudi arabia. Coming up on bbc news. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will be able to buy players injanuary, after their transfer ban was halved by the court of arbitration for sport. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. A man who carried out a string of sex attacks on 11 women and two children has been found guilty of 37 offences. Joseph mccann a convicted burglar whod been released from prison by mistake kidnapped and raped victims chosen at random on a cocaine and vodka fuelled rampage over a two week period last spring. The women and one boy were aged between 11 and 71 years old. Mccann had been released from prison after a probation error in february. Our Home Affairs Correspondent june kelly has this story and a warning her report does contain some details viewers will find distressing. In the front passenger seat of this car, a 21 year old woman is being kept captive byjoseph mccann. He has grabbed her off the street with a knife to her throat, held her and raped her. She is too traumatised to escape. As he pays for his petrol, this is a man at the start of a perverted mission to attack, terrify and humiliate women and children. Mccann kidnaps this first victim after she leaves this nightclub in watford. Her ordeal lasts five hours. A few days later, in walthamstow, east london, a 25 year old is walking home from this tube station. Mccann spots the woman, her identity is disguised, then stops and seizes her, subjecting her to m hours of depravity and violence in his car. Still holding this woman, he moves to edgware in north london and kidnaps a 21 year old off the street. He drives to a pub car park in hertfordshire and, now with two prisoners, he stops and rapes the 21 year old. He then heads to watford and this hotel. Hello hello . Keeping watch on his captives, mccann, wearing rosary beads around his neck, tries to book a room so he can continue his abuse. But, when he returns to the car, one of the women smashes a vodka bottle over his head, and both finally manage to break free. With a manhunt under way, mccann evades capture and travels to the north west. In lancashire, he rapes a girl of 17 and her 11 year old brother after taking them and their mother prisoner. Within hours, in greater manchester, he abducts and rapes a woman of 71, then kidnaps and sexually assaults a 13 year old girl. He crosses into cheshire. In congleton, he grabs two 14 year old girls of the street. Police then spot and chase his stolen fiat. He hits this mercedes. Armed police they lose him, and he abandons his car with the girls in it. Having shaken off the police, he turns up at a pub. Just came in for a drink. Surprisingly, he had a malibu and lemonade. I knew he was a dodgy character when he walked in, because he had quite a sway on him. He asked to use the phone. It was very bizarre. He was writing down a lot of things as well, like postcodes and phone numbers. He is eventually found by police, who catch him hiding up a tree. For hours, there is a stand off, before he is finally brought down and arrested. He tells officers, if youd caught me for the first two, the rest of this wouldnt have happened. Joseph mccann is a horrendously dangerous individual who has shown complete contempt for his victims. He is clearly one of the most dangerous sex offenders, i think, that we have ever seen in this country. Joseph mccanns background makes this case a catastrophic failure by the criminaljustice system. It can now be reported that mccann, who began offending when he was 11, should have been in prison when he was roaming around the country, raping women and children and threatening to slit their throats. He had been wrongly released. In 2008, he was jailed for an aggravated burglary at the home of an 85 year old man. In 2017, he was freed on licence. The same year, he was arrested for new offences and should have been recalled to prison, but he wasnt. In 2018, he was sentenced for his new crimes and should have gone before the parole board before he was considered safe to be freed. Instead, at the start of this year, he was mistakenly let out and, soon after, went on his rampage. Joseph mccann refused to leave prison to attend his trial a controlling individual but, at heart, a coward. He didnt have to hear the testimony and tears of those he abused and face up to the enduring damage he has done to them. June kelly, bbc news, the old bailey. Our home editor mark easton is here. Appalling story extraordinary this man was released why was he . Well, the most fundamental respond of the criminal justice well, the most fundamental respond of the criminaljustice system is to keep people safe, and mccann was known to be extremely dangerous, in fa ct known to be extremely dangerous, in fact the courts had done everything they could to protect the public by putting him on a sentence that meant he would be injail until it putting him on a sentence that meant he would be in jail until it was considered the risk was low enough to release him. The system failed time and time again. Somehow despite the red flag, the warn, the history, despite a judge saying that he must go back to jail to continue the indeterminate sentence he was on, the Probation Service did not recall mccann to prison when he broke his license, he was treated like a model prisoner and released in the normal way, then, as we know, went on this appalling violent r578 package. A number of officers have been disciplined, two were sacked but the failures in this case are so egregious you have to look at whether the system itself is broken, and all Party ParliamentaryCommittee Said the Probation Service, said the budget cuts and reforms had left it in a mess, the district responsible for mccann was more than 100 probation officers short. Huge budget cuts to the court, to the prison service, perhaps also explain why communication broke down, in the criminal justice system. Communication broke down, in the criminaljustice system. Now there was a time you know when catastrophic failure like this would have seen a government minister offing to resign. No hint of that. We have that apology, the ministry ofjustice accepting we have that apology, the ministry of justice accepting mccann we have that apology, the ministry ofjustice accepting mccann was released in error, copies of an internal review sent only to victims not published. Small wonder there are not published. Small wonder there a re calls not published. Small wonder there are calls for an independent inquiry to be held in what went wrong and how we might be able to keep people safe from people like mccann. Thank you. With less than a week to go until the election, the former conservative Prime Minister, sirjohn major, has urged people to re elect three former tory ministers who were kicked out of the conservative party, for voting against Boris Johnson over brexit. Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn has said a leaked document obtained by labour shows the Prime Minister is misrepresenting his brexit deal and says it will in fact have a devastating impact on Northern Ireland. Mrjohnson has dismissed the claims as nonsense. Later tonight, the two leaders will go head to head in a live tv debate. 0ur Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg has more. Enter the stage, a tory leader from previous dramas, with an unusual act. Sirjohn major thinks we must be in the eu but, in his own video, he is urging you to vote against the party he led, if there is a former tory trying to stop brexit where you live. None of them left the conservative party. The conservative party left them. Without such talent on its ventures, parliament would be poorer, which is why, where i resident in any of their constituencies, they would have my vote in this election. Some traditional tories might listen to that, those who are nervous about his successors platform. The political age couldnt be more different, even though clunky metaphors are still part of the fashion. If we can get brexit done, if we can get a working majority in parliament next week, then we will finally be able to get this country out of neutral, into first, into second, third, fourth, how many gears does that thing have . What do you say to the former conservative Prime Minister, who doesnt think that voters should back you this time . I think its very sad and i think that he is wrong, and i think he represents a view that is outdated, alas. Greatly as i respect him and his record. Watch out though. Not everything is going according to his plan. The tories had to cancel a planned stop on the stump today after security concerns in kent. It is 20 years too late. Some of the voters whod come along to watch didnt want to look, but couldnt look away. Bored to tears with it. More bickering and having a go at one another. Dont like the mud slinging, dont like the way its going, and couldnt predict it at all. Its too much. Bizarre. Bizarre, you know. Why is it bizarre . They dont tell the truth, do they . This is the trouble. Jeremy corbyn claims, when it comes to brexit, it is borisjohnson that is not being straight with you. Armed with a list of the different kinds of checks there could be between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk after brexit,. I have here a document. Brandishing a leaked document showing the checks the conservatives dont want to admit. This is cold, hard evidence that categorically shows the impact a damaging brexit deal would have on large parts of our country, and now we have caughtjohnson red handed, misrepresenting his own brexit deal. You are saying the tories are hiding details about the kind of deal that they would like to do after brexit, but you are also hiding a much bigger issue, whether, if you become Prime Minister, you believe we should be in or out of the european union. Laura, i am not hiding in this. What i am saying is that we have to bring an end to this debate. We will negotiate a credible deal and we will put back deal to a vote of the british people. The tories say the actual document is nonsense, but admit there will be some more checks on foods. But there brexit plans are dismissed as tall tales, whether it is shaking hands or entertaining a young crowd on the campaign trail. The effects of brexit are hugely damaging, and they are damaging, whether it is a conservative brexit, whether it is a brexit that labour want to negotiate. There is no good brexit. 0r from the comfort of the tv sofa. I think brexit is a disaster. I think borisjohnson is a disaster, if i can be undiplomatic and blunt about it in a scottish characteristic style, so i could never support borisjohnson as Prime Minister. I am not a huge fan ofJeremy Corbyn. And there will be no avoiding any of that pressure for the pair as they arrived for a debate tonight. The final head to head clash, but not yet your final choice. Ina in a couple of hours the two rivals will be right here on this stage, in kent tonight, Jeremy Corbyn at this podium here in the red corner, on this side borisjohnson. Both of course vying for your votes to become the next Prime Minister of country, under pressure in front of a studio audience live for 60 minute, the bbc Prime Ministerial debate. The final head to head. Live here at 8. 30 on bbc one. Thank thank you. Lets speak tojohn campbell, the bbcs Northern Ireland economics and business editor. What does this document show . Tell its more about what it says. Some of the conclusions in this lea ked some of the conclusions in this leaked document are very familiar, because there was an official government risk analysis published in the aftermath of the brexit deal and it said if you create new barriers to trade across the irish sea and this deal would create those barrier, that is likely to be damaging to the Northern Ireland economy. But i think what is most striking in this document today, is the very blunt language it uses about Northern Irelands constitutional position within the uk. It says this deal has the potential to symbolically separate Northern Ireland from the rest of the uk, and to undermine the Economic Union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And that really confirms the worst fears of unionists here in Northern Ireland. In terms of the specific checks, on goods between britain and Northern Ireland. That is still up for discussion between the eu and the uk, but it is clear we would not end up uk, but it is clear we would not end up with the status quo. There would be change in terms of trade across the irish sea and that change will have real implications in Northern Ireland. Thank a senior british diplomat in the United States has resigned over the way the government is presenting its strategy to leave the european union. Alexandra hall, the lead envoy for brexit in the British Embassy in washington, said she could no longer peddle half truths on behalf of political leaders she did not trust. The Foreign Office has not commented on the matter. A couple from berkshire who were rejected by their local Adoption Service because of their indian background have been awarded more than £100,000 in damages.

Jonty bravery picked the boy up on the tenth floor of the art gallery and threw him over the railings. He fell 100 feet. The 18 year old told police hed heard voices telling him to kill or injure someone. He will be sentenced in february. Helena wilkinson reports. The six year old boy was with his mother on this tenth floor viewing platform, when out of nowhere, a teenager appeared, picked him up, held him over the railings and threw him. He fell five floors on to this concrete roof. There was a little commotion, with a very loud primal scream. The childs mother then tried to climb the rail. I restrained her and pulled her back. He didnt seem to have any remorse, he just almost giggled at one point, saying i did it, yeah, idid it. The boy was treated at the scene, before being taken away by paramedics on a stretcher, under this blue tarpaulin.

Helena wilkinson, bbc news, at the old bailey. Our top story this evening. Joseph mccann, who kidnapped and raped 11 women and children across england, is found guilty of 37 offences. And still to come, britains anthonyjoshua squares up for one of the biggest fights of his career in saudi arabia. Coming up on sportsday on bbc news. Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki will retire from tennis after the australian open, the tournament that gave her the only grand slam title of her career so far. It is an extraordinary story of survival. A british woman whose heart stopped beating for six hours after she collapsed in a snowstorm in spain says she feels incredibly lucky to be alive. Audrey schoeman suffered a cardiac arrest after getting hypothermia while hiking in the pyrenees. Her husband thought she was dead, but incredibly doctors saved her. Heres our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. The woman who cheated death, flanked by her husband and the medical team that rescued her. Audrey schoeman can now reflect on her heart stopping experience. It feels really incredible that i survived it and just really lucky to be here and to be able to get on with my life. I am just happy. She set out with her husband from this mountain refuge in the catalan pyrenees last month when they were caught in a snowstorm. She collapsed and fell unconscious. I thought she was dead because i was trying to feel for a pulse, trying to feel. My fingers were also known, so i wasnt sure if it was my fingers, but i couldnt feel her breath, i couldnt feel her heartbeat or anything. In the freezing conditions, her body temperature dropped from 37 to just 18 degrees. But it was this super cool state which protected her brain and body from deteriorating. 0nce airlifted to a hospital in barcelona, she was connected to a machine which took over the function of her heart and lungs, re oxygenating her blood and gradually warming her body. Six hours after her heart stopped beating, they revived her using a defibrillator. Apart from some numbness in her hands, the english teacher, who lives in barcelona, has made a full recovery. And it has not put her off hiking. Probably this winter i will go to the mountains, but i hope in spring we will be able to start hiking and trekking again. I dont want this to take away that hobby from me. This winter, i will not go to the mountains. Doctors are astounded by audrey schoemans recovery, saying she has set a record in spain for the longest cardiac arrest, hailing her a medical miracle. Now back to the election, and one of the key battlegrounds will be london. In 2017 labour won 49 of the 73 seats across the city. 0ur correspondent, alex forsyth, has been to three constituencies to find out how the main parties are faring. London is distinct and diverse. But overall, most people here wanted to stay in the eu. So where brexit takes voters could be crucial in the capitals close run seats. Take richmond. At the avenue social club, voters are trying to unpick the political tangle. This is a strong remain area, so the lib dems are hoping their anti brexit message will cut through. Im absolutely sure we need to stay in europe. I mean, have you thought much about who you might vote for . Well, im actually a member of the green party, but the greens are not standing, and i would vote liberal democrat anyway, to make sure that the conservatives dont get in. Thats the challenge for the tories. How their pro brexit pitch plays in parts of the capital they need to hold. Some are persuaded. I voted to actually stay in, but the people chose to come out, so i dont know why we keep having all these elections, trying to change our mind. So the conservatives have got your vote because of brexit . Yes. But here, that is far from a guaranteed strategy. The conservatives have been pushing their brexit stance in leave areas in the midlands and the north, but here, in remain leaning london, it might leave them vulnerable, although the lib dems could take votes from labour here, too. And in the capital, some seats are a three way fight. Take battersea. Traditionally, a two way battle where labours trying to hold off the tories. This time, the lib dems might tip the balance. At the scratch hub, a space for socially minded entrepreneurs, brothers dan and adam wanted to stay in the eu, but it is other policy that matters to them. A lot of the parties are using brexit as, like, this is how we are going to deal with brexit, and here is Everything Else. I think the here is Everything Else is the most important thing people need to be focussing on. I feel like labours manifesto is a more hopeful outlook, and thats, i feel like in this time we need to be hopeful. Charity founder effah also thinks brexit is secondary. There is issues to do with the negative perceptions of black culture and black people. I think it is very important that the Community Voice is being heard and reflected in policies that people are putting forward. It is that wider social policy that labour hopes will play well, but it often comes back to brexit. Uxbridge is is one of the few london areas that backed leave, perhaps more receptive to the tories key message. This is borisjohnsons seat, and there is a push from other parties which want to oust him. It looks far more marginal than it was ever considered in the past, this constituency. I really hope we can swing it against him. But there is loyalty here that might be hard to overcome. I shall vote conservative. Always have, always will. Does brexit come into it for you . I suppose so, because i did vote to leave, and i want to leave, so. Thats still on your mind . Oh, yes. Yes. There is no single message guaranteed to win round this complex city, but in a contest that might come down to a few seats, what happens here could really count. Alex forsyth, bbc news. You can find a list of all the candidates standing in richmond, battersea and uxbridge, as well as right across london, on the bbc website.

Sunday has sunny spells and heavy, blustery, thundery showers with the wind picking up. Gail is likely in Western Areas later, temperatures of eight to 13. On sunday evening, we area bit eight to 13. On sunday evening, we are a bit concerned. This area of low pressure, a named storm named by the irish weather service, because they are expecting really strong winds but, even in the uk, gales up to 70 miles a row, even a bit stronger that. That could well cause travel disruption, and the gales will transfer to eastern parts on monday. Thats all from the bbc news at six. Hello, this is bbc news, with the press of burien. The headlines.
