Hello and a good saturday morning to all, welcome to morning joe weekend. I am jonathan mayor, i am in this week, let s jump right into the week s biggest stories. You have used words like animal and rabid to describe like district attorneys. You have attacked black journalists, calling them losers, saying the questions they ask the court, stupid and racist. You have had dinner with a white supremacist at your mara lago resort.

That was part of donald trump s contentious interview yesterday at a conference for the national association of black journalists.

Now it s time for hardtalk. Welcome to hardtalk, i m stephen sackur. Much has been said and written about covid 19 by politicians, scientists and healthcare professionals across the world. But what about the voices of those hit hard by the disease, the patients for whom it was very nearly a death sentence? my guest today is one of them the hugely successful writer and educator, michael rosen, whose covid memoir is dark, sad, uplifting and funny, all at once. How did he find the poetic in a pandemic? michael rosen, in your london home, welcome to hardtalk. Thanks for having me, stephen. Thank you. It s a great pleasure to have you, not least because i am very well aware that not so very long ago you went through a ghastly near death experience, thanks to covid 19. It clearly hasn t sapped your creative juices but why on earth did you want to revisit that dark period by writing about it? i think it s a matter of compulsion, stephen.

A chilly start to sunday, patchy mist easing away to sunny spells and scattered showers. Once again, some of these could be heavy with hail and thunder. All change for bank holiday monday. This area of low pressure expected to come in off the atlantic, some wet and windy weather arrives through northern ireland, gradually moving into southern scotland, north west england and wales, perhaps staying showery in the far north of scotland, and south east england should stay dry
