2+ week, 1+ day ago (441+ words) The BBC officially apologised to the US president for the "error of judgement" on Thursday, but added that "we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim". Saturday 15 November 2025 01:02, UK Donald Trump has said he will sue the BBC for between $1bn and $5bn over the editing of his speech on Panorama. The US president confirmed he would be taking legal action against the broadcaster while on Air Force One overnight on Saturday. "We'll sue them. We'll sue them for anywhere between a billion (792m) and five billion dollars (3.79bn), probably sometime next week," he told reporters. "We have to do it, they've even admitted that they cheated.

3+ week, 46+ min ago (1408+ words) Sunday 9 November 2025 18:56, UK Tim Davie's resignation has in "many ways been a long time coming", said our arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer." According to her, Davie had an "incredibly, incredibly difficult year, where he has managed to dodge his way out of quite a few sort of issues that have come to light"." Spencer named Israeli death chants at Glastonbury that were uploaded to the BBC iPlayer, the Gaza documentary, where it emerged that one of the narrators was the child of a member of Hamas, and the edit of Donald Trump's speech in a Panorama documentary. Davie was previously known as 'Teflon Tim' in tabloids due to his ability to shake off such issues, she added." But it seems that he was unable to get through the recent accumulation of scandals. Roger Mosey, a former director of news…...

Monday 2 June 2025 06:13, UK Sir Keir Starmer will pledge to build up to 12 attack submarines and put the military on a war footing as part of a major defence review - but without making any new spending promises. The lack of extra cash meant the prime minister was coming under fire for empty rhetoric even before the blueprint for the future of the armed forces is released on Monday. Defence Secretary John Healey was forced to clarify that while he has "no doubt" the government will lift the defence budget to 3% of national income by 2034, he does not actually have a solid commitment from the Treasury, and this remains only an "ambition…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago (545+ words) The BBC has been engulfed in a crisis, with both its director-general and head of news resigning after it emerged a speech by Donald Trump was edited misleadingly in a Panorama documentary that aired last year. Monday 10 November 2025 22:21, UK Donald Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn over edits the organisation made last year to one of his speeches. The organisation has been engulfed in a crisis, forced to apologise on Monday after two of its most senior figures, including the director-general, resigned on Sunday night. The defamation claim centres around a BBC Panorama documentary, which aired October 2024 and showed an edited speech made by Mr Trump before the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021, in which he appeared to tell his supporters he was going to walk with them to the US Capitol and "fight like hell…...

Well before the revelations of this week, the Epstein cloud hung over him and he knew it. Back in May, Sky News was offered a chance to speak to him. He'd just finished a speech at an event in Washington and his communications team had suggested that if we wanted some time with him then he'd be available briefly as he left the event. My colleague James Matthews waited outside the event for him to emerge. When he did, James asked him about the…...

Wednesday 20 August 2025 19:06, UK The Observer's editor-in-chief has called for the BBC to be "put beyond the reach of politicians" - and has compared the fight for survival within television to the zombie fungus in The Last Of Us.

Monday 10 November 2025 09:02, UK With the slew of erroneous releases from prisons in recent weeks, months and years, pollsters at YouGov have been asking the public who they hold accountable. And it will be welcome news for the government, as the prison service seem to be copping most of the blame. A total of 19% of the 6,436 people asked on Friday blame the politicians, while 58% blame the prison service. While both Reform and Tory voters are a bit more likely to blame the government than their Labour and Lib Dem peers, all four groups most blame the prison operators. "Sam…...
