Description:

Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC, following criticism over how a speech the US president made was edited and used in a Panorama documentary.

His legal team has given the BBC a deadline of 14 November to make a "full and fair retraction" of the documentary - or face being sued for $1bn (£760m).

A leaked internal BBC memo, external said the show had misled viewers by splicing two parts of Trump's 6 January 2021 speech together, making it appear as though he was explicitly urging people to attack the US Capitol after his election defeat.

The BBC's outgoing news CEO Deborah Turness insisted the corporation was not "institutionally biased", after her resignation alongside director general Tim Davie.
