Piers Morgan on gun control and Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger on phone hacking, the future of newspapers and learning Chopin. Plus Algerian hostage crisis and Chart the Week.

CNN talk show host Piers Morgan became the subject of a petition calling for him to be deported from the United States, after his altercation with the pro-gun lobby in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shootings. He discusses the issue of gun control in the United States, and why he believes he has the constitutional right to speak out on the issue

Alan Rusbridger is editor-in-chief of The Guardian. He tells Richard how the challenge of learning to play Chopin's first Ballade over the course of a year proved an invaluable distraction from the biggest stories on the news agenda, including Wikileaks & the phone hacking saga

Plus the latest on the Algerian military operation to free international hostages at a remote desert gas facility in the east of the country; and Richard Peppiatt & Michael Deacon join Richard to count down five of the most talked about news stories of the past seven days in Chart the Week.
