BBC apologises to Trump over Panorama edit but refuses to pay compensation<\/b><\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

The BBC has apologised to US President Donald Trump for a Panorama episode that spliced parts of his 6 January 2021 speech together, but rejected his demands for compensation.<\/p>\n

The corporation said the edit had given “the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action” and said it would not show the 2024 programme again.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Trump have threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn (\u00a3759m) in damages unless the corporation issues a retraction, apologises and compensates him.<\/p>\n
