Published

President Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn.

In a latter to the corporation Trump’s legal team demands the BBC “immediately retract” a Panorama programme which edited a speech he made calling it “false and defamatory”.

It comes as BBC chair Samir Shah apologised for an “error of judgement” over the edit, and said the BBC was considering how to respond to Trump.

BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of BBC news Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday night, after a leaked memo criticised a 2024 Panorama programme about the US president.

Adam and Chris are joined by Chief Washington Presenter Caitriona Perry and Media and Culture Editor Katie Razzall.
