BBC has formally apologised to Donald Trump for presenting in a Panorama episode what appeared to be a continuous excerpt of his 2021 speech, when in fact it was stitched together from separate segments — an edit the broadcaster called an “error of judgment”. Despite its apology, the BBC rejected Trump’s demand for compensation, stating there is no basis for a defamation claim, as the edit did not meet legal criteria for defamation. Trump’s legal team has not yet filed a lawsuit, despite the broadcaster receiving a letter demanding action by Friday, Nov 14. (PC: India Today)
