i want to welcome in arianna huffington, the ceo of thrive global and obviously the founder of the huffingtonost. turmoil,he markets in 22-plus million people now filing for unemployment assistance being wiped off the in a public health crisis. what are your thoughts on how this will impact the economy or society more broadly? arianna: obviously, the impact is already huge and unprecedented for any of us. what is also interesting is the fact that in many ways the chickens are coming home to roost. , we havey long time been lamenting the growing, increasing inequality. conferences on inclusive capitalism and what we need to do about that. we did really almost nothing. so, now, we are faced with the workers like nurses, caregivers, social workers, grocery and delivery workers on the front lines of this crisis, are the most underpaid, the most vulnerable, and the most affected by the virus. we are seeing a huge disproportionate percentage of inican-americans, of people disadvantaged communities being affected by the virus, many of them because of pre-existing conditions. like hypertension or dia

i love arianna huffington, especially her voice. she sounds like a woman who would be sitting in bed with a sheet wrapped around her as a james bond is walking out the door. will i see you again, james? [laughter] and breitbart after party will be crazy. it will not be good. but it will be crazy. [laughter] on a side note i met james o'keefe last night. at least i think it was james o'keefe. he may have just been a regular pimp who hated organize labor. i'mis having a party but sure it will be pretty sedate. how well can a party get when it is held in accordance with sharia law? [laughter] it is what i was told. [laughter] this is been the year of sweeping changes happening in tv news. katie couric is leaving cbs. she was known for asking tough questions like, name a newspaper?

joining me now is the one and only arianna huffington, ceo of thrive global.oming on. when diddy called me, and he and i have our own special relationship, and say you got to talk to arianna about this campaign. i said why are we talking about sleep? he said one of the things that is an outcome of the trauma we're going through and this happened in 1918 when we went through that flu pandemic is mental health. he said sleep helps you, he calls me pops, to deal with your mental health in an unstable time. when i talked to you, you converted me like you were the preacher and i was the parishioner. tell us why this is important right now. >> well, first of all, thank you so much for spreading the word. it's been absolutely amazing to be able to show to people that according to the latest science, sleep is foundational, both for our mental health and for our physical immunity as we are fighting this virus. and diddy's meditation has had an unprecedented impact in the last week since we launched it. it's been number one on audible, has gotten only rave reviews and t

we will cross the atlantic to look at america, the huffington post's we have an extract of what theyning, a report by the associated press. global coronavirus death toll hits 100,000, us deaths almost 17,000. my we have seen new york particularly badly hit and pictures of mass graves of the bronx. those images from new york are obviously just appalling and what is happening in america in particular at the spread is so devastating and i think for a country that really does not have a health care system that is for everyone, it operates for profit but also an incredibly unequal society. although we will all be affected by this and people across america are being affected by this, it doesn't matter what you look like, what yourjob is, we are united by our humanity and the fact we can contract this illness. it doesn't matter, you can die from it by do think it is exposing the inequalities in our society. if you look at summer like the us where you find that reporting suggests that african—americans are disproportionately dying of coronavirus for some in louisiana, 33% of the population i

the huffington post reports the world ride death toll has hit 100,000. -- world ride death toll has hit. —— worldwide death toll. just making sure, sam uk and hear me on the left, and my on the right, do what you need to. the lines are working. we are going to start with the mirror. whose headline reads... nhs workers plead with the government to get more kit... desperate staff have been using curtains to make their own kit. sam lister we have been hearing this day in day out that the nhs need kit. the government says they are getting to them but i suppose this front page would say where is it? absolutely this is the very human impact of the lack of ppe that doctors and nurses and other people in these high—riskjobs need. and as you say people currently resourcing to ripping off curtains to make their own ppe, a really horrible story to have to look at that. today we had the daily press conference at downing street taken by matt hancock the health secretary and it has been a recurring theme. he today talked about a herculean effort made to resolve the problem but admitted there had been

we took a very, very similar take in the huffington post.l the questions that the government had failed to answer on testing. the reason why testing is so important is because it would allow nhs workers to return to the frontline if they are in isolation, future tests will be able to test if they have had the virus and are therefore immune and appears key to therefore immune and appears key to the strategy. why are we so far behind countries like germany?” have watched as many of these government briefings as i have been able to and i would normally note down the figures, how many tests are being carried out but i write down some of the language. ramping up, priority, commitment, we intend to do this and that, and it is perhaps not surprising that the telegraph should say questions without a nswe i’s. should say questions without answers. is this a damaging moment for the government? yes, i think it is. this is a notable change in tone and seeing a headlight like this in the telegraph of all papers, which one might expect to be more sympathe
