BBC apologises to Trump over Panorama edit but rejects compensation claim [gmHygOx4Lur]
BBC apologises to Trump over Panorama edit but rejects compensation claim The BBC has issued an apology to former US President Donald Trump regarding an edited segment in its Panorama documentary. The broadcaster admits to an "error of judgment" in splicing together clips of a January 6th, 2021 speech, which inadvertently created the impression that Trump was directly calling for violent action at the Capitol. While expressing sincere regret for the edit and confirming the program will not be re-broadcast in its current form, the BBC firmly rejected Trump's demand for one billion dollars in compensation, stating there is no basis for a defamation claim. This apology follows a threat from Trump to sue unless these demands were met. The BBC is also investigating a separate accusation of misleadingly editing the same speech on its Newsnight program in 2022, an incident that reportedly led to the resignations of BBC Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness.
