Mr Trump issued three demands as part of the ultimatum, calling on the BBC to issue a full and fair retraction, apologise and 'appropriately compensate' him 'for the harm caused' by the edited clip of his speech that was aired on Panorama.

"Consequently, the BBC has caused President Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” Mr Trump’s lawyer Alejandro Brito said: “The BBC is on notice.” Nick Ferrari is joined by Observer columnist Will Hutton and Gordon Rayner, Associate Editor of The Daily Telegraph, who was behind the scoop that led to Tim Davie and Deborah Turness' resignations.
