time (0.00 to 17.00 EET) being translated into Japanese. The channel used to broadcast a mixture of CNN International and CNN/US, but since 2008, CNNj has been a direct relay of CNN International Asia Pacific. Starting late 2010, the high definition feed of CNN US was launched in Japan for American viewers under the name "CNN/US HD", the first such feed available outside of the United States. Simulcasts between CNNI and CNN/US Apart from during the earliest days of the network, CNNI, until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, produced almost all of its own programming, and generally only simulcast CNN/US's primetime output. However, since the start of the outbreak, CNNI's own programming has been significantly cut back with CNNI currently draws from the feed of the main CNN channel for all editions of Early Start, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, The Lead with Jake Tapper, Erin Burnett Outfront, Anderson Cooper 360° and CNN Tonight. CNNI also broadcasts most of CNN This Morning. At the weekend, CNNI simulcasts much of the entire weekend schedule, apart from the first hour of New Day and some of CNN Newsroom. Programmes seen on the global network include the Sunday edition of Inside Politics, State of the Union , Fareed Zakaria GPS, Smerconish and some CNN Special Investigations Unit documentaries. During simulcasts, the timepiece of CNN/US is replaced by that of CNNI, and CNN/US's red logo on a white field is retained in the on-screen graphic (rather than replaced by CNNI's white logo on a red field), signifying CNN/US as the originating source. CNNI also simulcasts CNN/U.S. newscasts whenever major events happen in the United States or around the world. Examples in the 2010s include the death and funeral of Ronald Reagan, the crash of Continental Airlines Flight 3407 in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence Center, the Hudson River plane landing, the attempted Christmas Day bombing of flight 253 and the death and memorial service of Michael Jackson. Also, certain scheduled broadcasts, such as New Year's Eve Live and Election Night in America, are aired on CNN International. Likewise, CNN/U.S. occasionally turns to CNNI newscasts, primarily when major international news breaks during overnight hours in the U.S. A notable case was during the death of Pope John Paul II and the aftermath of the London Underground bombings of July 7, 2005. CNN/U.S. simulcast CNNI coverage of the death of Pakistan's former Prime Minister
