00:00A great British institution is under attack from a foreign government.

00:05President Trump is trying to destroy our BBC.

00:10Not because he cares about the truth, but because he doesn't want to get away with his lies.

00:15Trump has undermined press freedom in America.

00:19Now he's trying to do the same here, disgracefully egged on by the leader of reform.

00:25So will the Prime Minister tell President Trump to drop his demand for a billion dollar settlement from the BBC?

00:34Let me be clear, I believe in a strong and independent BBC.

00:39Some would rather the BBC didn't exist. Some of them are sitting up there.

00:45I'm not one of them. In an age of disinformation, the argument for impartial British news service is stronger than ever.

00:54And where mistakes are made, they do need to get their house in order.

00:58And the BBC must uphold the highest standards, be accountable and correct errors quickly.

01:03But I will always stand up for a strong, independent BBC.

01:07And the BBC is responsible for its domestic population.
