As a fresh political week kicks off in both Washington and London, US President Donald Trump says he is moving ahead with legal action against the BBC, despite the broadcaster issuing what it described as a personal apology over an incorrectly edited clip of one of his speeches.
According to , Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday evening that legal action will be initiated, likely next week, with a claim for damages between 1 billion and 5 billion.
His announcement came only a day after the BBC admitted its 2021 edit of a segment gave what it called the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action. The corporation confirmed the clip would not be aired again.
