Piers Morgan puts aside JK Rowling feud to defend 'cancelled' star amid transgender row

Ukrainian soldiers have been recorded clearing away dangerous anti-tank mines from a road with their feet.The footage, which has been shared across social media, shows the soldiers moving Russian mines to the side to allow vehicles to pass.According to reports, this road is a route out of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and mines have been left by Vladimir Putin’s troops as they fall back.The anti-tank mines require a large amount of pressure to denote but they are still a dangerous explosive.However, these Ukrainian soldiers appear relatively calm as they kick the mines to the sides of the road to clear a path through.The bravery of these soldiers comes after footage of a civilian in Kyiv Oblast was captured driving carefully through dozens of mines left by Russian forces.The mines were placed carefully in rows of four but the dangers of these mines did not stop Ukrainian civilians from precariously chancing their luck.Footage shows several drivers going through the mines with the slightest mistake in their vehicle potentially leading to their death.Of the cars captured in the footage, all drivers managed to successfully navigate through the mines.In a report by Human Rights Watch, Russian troops have been placing POM-3 landmines, which are believed to be banned under international treaties.The US-based group said the mines were discovered in the besieged city of Kharkiv on Monday. Speaking to the Independent, Steve Goose, arms director of Human Rights Watch, said: “Countries around the world should forcefully condemn Russia’s use of banned antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine.

Piers Morgan has reignited his feud with Meghan Markle after the former Good Morning Britain presenter took a fresh swipe at the Duchess of Sussex on Fox News.On Thursday (March 31), joined the 57-year-old joined Jesse Watters and her fellow co-hosts on the American news channel to talk about his new talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored – which premieres on April 25 on TalkTV in the UK.As they talked about what viewers can expect from the new show, Piers launched into a rant at the mum-of-two as he discussed freedom of speech and cancel culture.And his fellow TV hosts couldn’t help but poke fun at the broadcaster for his strong opinions as he fumed about the royal on air.His comment about Meghan came after he raged about free speech and being able to say whatever you want without any negative repercussions.Piers explained: “I want to get back to what it used to be like where you could have a tear-up argument with a good friend about some issue in the news and afterwards go and have a beer together." Spotting an opportunity to tease the journalist on air, Jesse sarcastically quipped: “Like Meghan Markle?” Taking a cheeky swipe at the doting mum, he replied: “There are some exceptions to my cancel culture rule and I can only thank the American people for taking Ms Markle back.“We couldn’t be more grateful” he teased as the group chuckled at his sharp comments on the show. The former Britain’s Got Talent judge has been vocal about his disdain for Meghan and Prince Harry since he stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain in March 2021 following his argument with Alex Beresford about the royals.

Happy Birthday @piersmorgan"Piers himself reacted to the snap by sharing it on his own Instagram Story, and it seems it made him laugh as he penned a shocked-emoji followed by two laughing-face emojis.Sharon's fans were left blushing over the snap, with some giggling about their pair's exchange in the comments.One fan wrote: "I am beginning to suspect you have a crush on Piers!"A second joked:" Ozzy hasn't bitten his head off yet?", referring of course to Sharon's rockstar hubby Ozzy.A third said: "Happy birthday piers ,hope your having a lovely day Sharon,"A fourth wrote: "Happy Birthday

Piers Morgan, who has been campaigning against transgender people competing in women's sport for years, took to Twitter in celebration."Finally, a ray of common sense shines up from the virtue-signalling insanity," he wrote jubilantly in view of almost eight million followers.If she had taken part, 21-year-old Emily would have been up against some formidable competition, including five-times Olympic champion Laura Kenny.However it is believed that those who were assigned male at birth face physical advantages against those who were born female, including levels of the hormone testosterone.Although the hormone is present in both males and females, it is men who have significantly higher amounts of it - and the substance, which promotes the building of muscle, is one of the factors in men having an athletic advantage.The Union Cycliste Internationale requires their contestants to have had testosterone levels that are below five nanomoles per litre for at least a year prior to competing.However the association has confirmed that Emily does not meet the criteria and British Cycling subsequently issued a statement to say so.It read: "We have now been informed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) that under their current guidelines Emily is not eligible to participate in this event."Piers had earlier hit out over the victory of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 500-yard freestyle swimming contest in the USA's NCAA Championships, deeming it "unfair".World Athletics President Lord Sebastian Coe has taken the same stance as Piers, arguing in his professional capacity that decisions to allow transgender athletes and sportspeople to compete is placing the "integrity" of women's sport under threat.He has insisted that

You’re only as old as the woman you feel.

Piers Morgan landed himself in hot water after declaring he refused to believe Meghan Markle's claim that life in the Royal Family had left her suicidal - and he's dubbed her "Princess Pinocchio" ever since. However he took exception to a damning article he read which called him out for allegedly portraying himself as a victim of racism - and he was quick to let his 7.9 million Twitter followers know how he felt.The article, by Vanity Fair journalist Emily Kirkpatrick, blasted his claim he was "the real victim of 'racist bullying" after his criticism of Meghan Markle.The piece referenced a tweet Piers had posted, raging: "Can all the Meghan/Harry fans currently abusing me with stuff like ‘shut the f*** up white man’ please stop trying to silence my voice with racist bullying?"However Piers hit back, reposting it with a personal response to the writer."Oh, I wasn’t a victim," he told Emily adamantly."I was just called a racist bully - and lost my job - for refusing to believe a proven liar bullying the Royal Family with fake racism smears."He added: "You seem to be trying the same tactic, which is a shame because I’m told you’re a talented writer."As the article stated, Piers had previously had an on-air debate with activist Dr.
