Donald Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion unless they retract the Panorama documentary. He said the BBC has until 10 p.m. on Friday to comply…
In a letter seen by the New York Times, Trump’s legal team demand:
“a full and fair retraction of the documentary and any and all other false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about President Trump in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published. Immediately issue an apology for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about President Trump. If the BBC does not comply with the above by November 14, 2025, at 5.00 p.m. EST, President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (one billion dollars) in damages. The BBC is on notice.”
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Shadow national security minister Alicia Kearns told Times Radio she would have put a precondition on a China trip if she were PM:
“I would have put a precondition that I was not going to go if I was prime minister, unless Jimmy Lai was coming home with me. I would also put a precondition in the six months leading up to the visit that I wanted a reduction in hostile acts against our country. But that’s not what we saw. And actually, in contrast, what we saw was clearly the Chinese Communist Party did put a precondition, which was that the new embassy in London had to be signed off. So why is it okay for China to set preconditions and to make very clear red lines about what they require for a visit, but we go without having put any ourselves?”
