the british broadcaster, piers morgan. yeah!mething that would wake people up and make sure they knew it was ok for me to tell truth to power. and in fact, as a result of yourcampaign, it has been successful — instagram have introduced restrictions on the promotion of diet products so you must feel that's a feather in your cap. it wasn'tjust me. i think i had a significant impact on that change, but there were also, just to be clear — experts and charities involved. related to this body image work and activism that you are doing so that young girls and older women do not fall foul of these kinds of things, you have also talked about the sexualisation of women. for instance, you have said of beyonce that, "she has sexualised herself to sell her records and of doing everything other than having a live smear test on stage." right, but you are bringing up something i said like ten years ago that i've repeatedly apologised for and explained and it's my pinned tweet... alright. 0k. but you have said similar things about the over—sexua

[laughter] cnn replaced larry king with piers morgan, like that old expression come out with the old and with the who? [laughter] rick sanchez, you're gone but you are forgotten. [laughter] not everyone is leaving. i friend anderson cooper is still at cnn. i love watching report from the field. you can tell how much danger he is and by how tight his clothing is. [laughter] if he is then the bulky yellow slicker it is a hurricane offshore. if he is in the khaki best he is in the green zone in baghdad. when he is in the child size white t-shirt, bullets are flying and he is giving hunched and pulling kittens out of the rubble. [laughter] [applause] -- getting punched. if you ever see anderson cooper with his shirt off, turn off your television and run. [laughter] msnbc has a new slogan, lean forward. as if the problem has been that we could not hear them. [laughter] lean forward? have you seen hardball? yells like an auctioneer in a wind tunnel. i have never watched and thought i need to get closer to that. [laughter] now where than ever it is clear media is changing. news outlets are

piers morgan knows a thing or two about that. let me bring him in. you know him from his days anchoring here on cnn. he's currently the co-host of "good morning britain" and the editor at large of daily mail.com. i know this is one of your first times being back on cnn since your program ended back in 2014. welcome. thank you for joining me today. >> thank you very much, brian. good to be here. >> you have been doing something remarkable, interviewing british politicians and leaders and lawmakers and health officials and holding their feet to the fire. and in some cases showing how many failures are happening not just in the united states but in the united kingdom. what are the parallels now between the u.s. and uk responses to the pandemic? >> i think they're very similar, brian, in the since that you have two populous leaders in boris johnson and donald trump. all the tricks that they used to become popular and to win elections, to lead their countries are now being tested in a very different way. it's not about partisan politics anymore, it's abou

elderly people died in hospital and we can't do enough piers morgan lives 84 minutes haploid newspaper insert in the u.k. who has prison time now been posting. this program on i.t.v. and good morning britain and all the line has not been physically well known quite this high getting journalism joining this crisis he has consistently been at voice holding governments who account when you figure that we had a plan and i'm not prepared to admit any mistakes in that plan i find that clearly felt evidently ridiculous. the hospitalisation of the prime minister was yet another coronavirus angle to cover 70 percent of the newspaper sold in the u.k. tilt boris johnson's way to the political right there editorial dilemma his life was in the hands of the state funded national health service the n.h.s. whose funding has been cut by conservative government cuts that those papers have strongly supported. n.h.s. frontline workers are now the toast of the conservative papers have had no choice but to jump on that bandwagon another public institution that's had its funding cut the b.b.c. is watching th

turn it's interesting you know that on this question of not being willing to publish documents piers morgan on good morning britain made the point that we're not fighting the nazis here we're fighting a virus there's no reason why this information should be secret everybody needs to know what the what the homework is that lies behind recommendations under device so that it can be properly discuss and critiqued you mention a few broadcasters here in britain but not the british broadcasting corporation say when they did b b c do you think they haven't done so well apart from the expose a panorama which you were part of which showed. grave incompetence i mean you personally i understand complained to be made about to the faculty of public health are you being targeted yourself and you're being banned from the b.b.c. well it's a big question isn't this i mean what i would say is this after my appearances on newsnight and question time in the middle of march my invitations the b.b.c. dried up more or less completely and and i had an appointment that had been made and then i was stood down at the

scrutiny of the government ironically most vigorous from traditionally right wing figures like piers morgan and you know but so those journalists who are invited to the daily number 10 press briefing have been facing criticism for either not ask important questions or only asking them once they receive backlash on social media but one b.b.c. journalist surely shines as a i don't know whether it is navel ward where he seems to have stumbled into a great truth or one of these governments as well yeah so i was even following his presidency as closely and there was one exchange from sunday night on the i thought it kind of embodied all the issues we've been talking about it's was hosted by education secretary former secretary defense govern william when he said russia go away that's him and he was asked by the b.b.c.'s heep him this can you comment on reports today that stocks of the p. were allowed to run joan in the couple of years before the pandemic and why was more not done to get hold of more p.p. in march in early february including using british company it's nothing especially combative

>> judy, i think the most unreported story of the week is piers morgan, the prichett television joualist is a friend of the president, one of the 47 people on twitter thet presidhas access, to has given three interviews to british television, is morgan, and piersn wento piers public and said what an awful lot of trump supporicrs and crhave been saying and that is, mr. president, you're really hurting yourself in these television daily conferences, self-aggrandizing, across as self-interested, as really not a leader, you're concerned more about your own reelection than the health and well being of thw peop elected you. i really think that that crystallized the criticism, a number of republicans haved followed, i think you will see the president backing off. yesterday's performance was the worst. i mean to say lysol was a possibility for inhalation sarcastically -- he's not wil rogers, her's not jery seinfeld, he's not a man known for his sense of humor. it wasn scasm, it was donald trump being reckless and irresponsible, and i think you've seen numbers drop and i think the daily press con

didn't, as it were, draw on his fame and again, you can see it in the coverage today, i know that piers morganis, andrew neil, who i have more respectful it is definitely right about it, they do, as it were, encourage the feeling that they are special people and want special treatment and that really goes down exceedingly badly, not just with the really goes down exceedingly badly, notjust with the press, but with people as well. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. for the vast majority of us it stays dry and sunny today and increasingly warm as well away from the immediate eastern coast. the satellite picture shows the extent of the sunshine but we have some rain bearing clouds working at a north—west france. that could get close enough overnight to give the odd passing shower to the channel islands and the islands of scilly but for the majority of us it stays dry with clear, starry skies. it stays quite breezy, so never that cold for england and wales. a touch of frost in sheltered glens in scotland. tomorrow, almost an identical day to today, which means
