00:00U.S. President Donald Trump sues the BBC for defamation over edited clips of a speech.
00:06Trump accuses Britain's publicly-owned broadcaster of defaming him by splicing together parts of a
00:11January 6, 2021 speech. This includes one section where he told supporters to march on the Capitol
00:16and another where he said, fight like hell. It omitted a section in which he called for peaceful
00:21protest. The BBC has apologized to Trump, admitting an error of judgment and saying the edit wrongly
00:27implied he called for violence but maintained there is no legal basis for a lawsuit. In his
00:32lawsuit, Trump says the BBC, despite its apology, has made no showing of actual remorse for its
00:37wrongdoing or meaningful institutional changes to prevent future journalistic abuses.
