good morning. the top stories from the gb newsroom. a 15 year old boy has been charged with murder after a teenager was stabbed to death at a school in sheffield. harvey willgoose, who was 15, died after being attacked at all saints catholic high school on monday. police said he suffered serious injuries and, despite the efforts of medics, died a short time after emergency services arrived on the scene. the crown prosecution service says the 15 year old boy has been charged with murder, possession of a bladed article and affray. he is due to appear at sheffield youth court later today. in other news, an independent review has revealed that triple killer valdo calocane fear of needles prevented him from taking anti—psychotic medication before anti —psychotic medication before carrying anti—psychotic medication before carrying out the killings. health secretary wes streeting says it's clear there were failings in how the care provided to calocane was managed at every level. the report also highlighted how the risk to mental health carers was managed by making arrangements for staff

not to visit calocane home alone, but no plan was in place for the case of him coming off his medication. that says the families of the three victims barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates, who was the school caretaker, prepare to hold a press conference today to demand a pubuc conference today to demand a public inquiry. and the uk government has denied claims made by the prime minister of mauritius that it faces paying more under a renegotiated deal over the future of the chagos islands. last october, the uk announced it would hand over sovereignty of the islands to mauritius, but maintain a 99 year lease over the uk us military airbase on the largest island, diego garcia. the times previously suggested the payments by the uk government to mauritius could effectively double from £9 billion to 18 billion, but this has been denied by the uk foreign office, who said the figures being quoted were inaccurate and misleading. shadow foreign

secretary dame priti patel told gb news the deal is a huge national security risk. >> over the last four months, we cannot forget the fact that starmer's government had been trying to railroad this deal through while joe biden was in the white house and before president trump was inaugurated, because they knew that the americans would run the slide rule over this terrible deal and questioned the whole issue of national security. we know that the mauritians have closer relations and links with china. there's no guarantee that the chinese will not actually put listening stations and put actually their national security apparatus on the archipelago and the surrounding islands, and this is a major threat to us all. >> and those are the latest gb news headlines for now. more from me in half an hour. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to
