“We have a moral obligation to take care of him and his family,” the presenter told editor Geordie Greig. The air force lieutenant, who flew combat missions against the Taliban in support of the British army and was hailed by his coalition forces supervisor as a "patriot of his nation", said he was threatened with deportation to Rwanda. .

Sharing a clip from his TalkTV show, Morgan called the case a scandal that "put Britain to shame". Speaking directly to Rishi Sunak, he tweeted: “Do the right thing and give this hero a new life here and then bring his family back too. It's the least we can do after all you've done for us.
"It's a complete failure of our moral duty as a country," Morgan told viewers. "This man is a hero... We have a moral obligation to take care of him and his family."
Morgan, whose brother was a colonel in Afghanistan, said: “I think this is a really important battle. He may be a man but he represents many people who have sacrificed a lot, many of them have sacrificed their lives.
“And he can't go back now because the Taliban would hunt him down and kill him and he must be terrified of that happening about what's going to happen.
"We'll keep hammering at No. 10."
Mr Sunak has yet to respond to a letter from the pilot.
Lord Dannatt said that there was no doubt that the pilot was absolutely deserving of our protection.
"The idea that he could be extradited is terrible," he said.
He added: “I would be very surprised if Rishi Sunak or Ben Wallace [defense secretary] didn't push this.
"They should use their discretion now and quietly announce that their family is coming as well."
Others include Air Marshal Edward Stringer, former head of RAF forces in Afghanistan, former NATO chief Lord Robertson and Labor leader Keir Starmer.
Prince Harry's friend and former colleague Ben McBean also supports our campaign.
Greig said these people did not support the campaign lightly unless they thought they were supporting people "who supported them when they led our military to do things that were necessary to improve the world, to maintain democracy and to fight for freedom. ”
The presenter said that he would like to involve Prince Harry himself.
He said: “What safe and legal path was there after the fall of Afghanistan? You entered Afghanistan on the first day as a friendly and brotherly country, and now this bad day has come. [The UK government should] keep the promise of friendship and cooperation that it made and keep it.
“The American and British forces have forgotten us. We worked with them and helped them as if they were our brothers. We are not Talib, we are not Isis, so why leave us like this?
The data shows that the Afghan Assistance and Resettlement Policy (Arap) program turned away 18,946 Afghans, while only 3,399 were deemed eligible.
In the case of the pilot, Arap's official application process is underway.
