flag BBC apologized for editing Trump’s Jan. 6 speech to falsely imply incitement, leading to executive resignations and a $1B demand.

flag The BBC apologized to Trump for editing a 2024 Panorama documentary that combined separate parts of his January 6, 2021, speech, creating a misleading impression he incited violence. flag The broadcaster admitted the edit was an "error of judgment," apologized personally to the White House, and said it would not rebroadcast the program. flag Trump’s legal team demanded a retraction, apology, and $1 billion in compensation by November 14, 2025, threatening legal action if unmet, though no lawsuit has been filed. flag The controversy contributed to the resignations of BBC director-general Tim Davie and news chief Deborah Turness. flag The BBC maintains the edit did not constitute defamation and denies bias, while also investigating a similar editing issue in a 2022 Newsnight segment.
