US President Donald Trump says he will sue the BBC for up to $5 billion after the broadcaster wrongly edited a video of his January 6 speech. Trump claims the edit caused “major reputational and financial harm.” His lawyers had asked the BBC to withdraw the documentary, apologise, and pay compensation. The BBC admitted it made an “error of judgement” and sent a personal apology to Trump but denied defamation. The case has added to a major crisis at the BBC, where top leaders have resigned over editorial failures. The UK government says the broadcaster must fix its mistakes. (PC: BBC)
