with aaron armstrong. with aaron arm strong. >> with aaron armstrong. >> very good evening to you. it's 11:00. our top stories a 15 it's11:00. our top stories a 15 year old boy who died after he was stabbed at a school in sheffield has been named locally as harvey willgoose. the teenager was airlifted to hospital after the incident at all saints catholic high school just after midday. he died a short time later, south yorkshire police have confirmed. a 15 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody. the prime minister says his heart goes out to the victim's family. >> the terrible. >> the terrible. >> stabbing in sheffield is one where i think the whole country would want to reach out to the family, to the friends, to the school, the entire community. a young boy has gone to school and hasn't returned home. and so my first thoughts as prime minister and as a father are with the
11:02 pm
family. >> well, the prime minister was speaking in brussels, where he has addressed eu leaders over dinner, telling counterparts there should be increased military cooperation and greater industrial collaboration to strengthen defence on the continent. as europe's leaders, to do more to counter state threats, including vladimir putin's attempts to sabotage vital undersea cables. earlier, the prime minister held talks with the nato boss, mark rutte, saying he wants deeper defence cooperation and an ambitious security partnership with the eu. his comments come as europe considers how to respond to donald trump's return to the white house, and the threat of tariffs on european goods. well, donald trump has paused tariffs on mexican and canadian goods for 30 days after both countries agreed a border deal with the us. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, says that's been postponed after he agreed to deploy 10,000 soldiers to protect the border and increase resources to stop the flow of

the drug fentanyl heading into the drug fentanyl heading into the united states from canada. it follows a similar development earlier, after the mexican president, claudia sheinbaum, agreed to improve border security and clamp down on drug trafficking and illegal migration. and a 14 year old girl who stabbed two teachers and a pupil has been found guilty of attempted murder. earlier, the jury saw cctv footage showing the pupil in the school hall where she appeared to stab the knife she later used in the attack into the floor a number of times. now the girl who can't be named for legal reasons, is then seen attacking assistant headteacher fiona euas assistant headteacher fiona elias and colleague liz hopkins. they, along with a pupil, were hospitalised after the attack at amman valley school in carmarthenshire last april. the defendant will be sentenced on the 28th of april. and that is it from the gb newsroom. now it's back over to headliners.

11:05 pm
>> up a council. >> she plans. >> she plans. >> to create a council. >> on. >> on. >> islamophobia and is lining. >> islamophobia and is lining. >> up a former. >> up a former. >> tory minister to lead it. that would be dominic grieve. who has some history, some form on islamophobia has been involved with it before. of course, he fell out with the tories because he was a staunch remainer and eventually he was stripped of the whip by boris johnson in 2019 for refusing to play johnson in 2019 for refusing to play ball there. so he sort of almost de facto a labour politician now, in my view. but it's a worrying sign. as i say, it's a worrying sign. as i say, it's it hasn't been formed yet, let alone come up with any recommendations. but obviously off the back of a week in which we've seen one man shot dead for burning the quran, however deliberately provocative he was obviously being another man arrested in manchester, despite the fact that there is no. blasphemy law in this country because he was considered to be. >> it was racial incitement. >> it was racial incitement. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> islam is not a race. >> no, exactly. >> no, exactly. >> so i mean, arguably we do need a council, a committee of
11:06 pm
discussion to clear the air on this. and if they have this council, then it comes down firmly on the side of free speech and, and refusal to, to drift back into medieval notions that that you certain texts are sacred and must not be disrespected. maybe that would be a good thing, but you can't help feeling at the moment the traffic is in all in the wrong direction. >> well, this is it. they're talking. they're 16 people going to be on this council. the person you've just mentioned wrote an introduction for the last council of this sort, which basically came up with this ridiculous definition of islamophobia being anything that targets expressions of muslimness or perceived muslimness, which is the most open ended statement ever. and they've got someone else involved, an imam who was involved, an imam who was involved in calling for a boycott of the lady of heaven, which are the 2022 movie. now thatis which are the 2022 movie. now that is not a great start, lewis. >> i don't want to discuss this. >> i don't want to discuss this. >> okay, so the council has already done its work on you, has it? >> it hasn't done its work. and that guy being killed has done
11:07 pm
its work on me. i know, i know, if somebody set fire to. >> and that's exactly why they did it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and that's. >> and that's. >> that's exactly why people need to stand up and talk about it. >> it's not my job to stand up. first of all, i'm not i'm not a citizen of this country, number one, and i'm a coward, and i'm a bit of and i'm a bit of a fool and i don't. and i think you are, too, josh. and i think you should basically, basically, you should basically, basically, you should not be so involved. >> okay. well, i don't want to be hyperbolic, but i think that this is could potentially certainly i think it's a huge story. as simon says, nothing's been set in stone yet. but the ramifications for it. right. what if it went the wrong way? could be the end of western liberal democracy in this country as we know it. well, the reintroduction of blasphemy laws, particularly the protection of islam as an ideology. >> right. >> right. >> i think would be the end of our civilisation. >> for me, to be honest. and, you know, i mean, you can never be sure with lewis whether he's joking or to what extent, but i think a lot of people do feel afraid to put their head above this particular parapet. as far
11:08 pm
as i'm concerned, it's not the reintroduction of blasphemy laws that would mean the end of western liberal civilisation. it would be the protection of islam, specifically because islam, specifically because islam is counter to its beliefs, its tenets, its core beliefs are counter to western liberalism. and it's the it's the loss of the right to criticise those and to suggest that those be reformed and to be to be revisited by the powers that be within islam. that would be a threat if, to be honest, you made it illegal to i don't know the kind of thing that stewart lee was doing on stage in, in jerry springer the opera, in which christ was subjected to various humiliations made to wear an adult nappy, and so on. if you were to reintroduce laws to prevent that sort of thing happening, i don't think that would present a threat to liberal democracy, to western civilisation, because that was part of western civilisation at one point, which we have thankfully outgrown. this is a very specific threat, and i think we need to very specific threat, and i think we need
