US President Donald Trump said he has an “obligation” to sue the BBC over an edited clip of his January 6, 2021 speech shown in a Panorama documentary. Speaking to Fox News, Trump claimed the BBC “butchered” his words and “defrauded” viewers. His lawyers have demanded a retraction, apology, and $1 billion in damages by Friday. The BBC earlier apologised for an “error of judgement” in the edit, which suggested Trump urged violence. The controversy has led to the resignations of BBC Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness. The BBC says it will respond soon. (PC: BBC)
