BBC's Apology and Its Implications
LONDON (Reuters) -British culture minister Lisa Nandy said on Friday it was right that the BBC had apologised to U.S. President Donald Trump over a documentary his lawyers called defamatory.

"They've rightly accepted that they didn't meet the highest standards," Nandy told Times Radio. "I think it's also right that they've apologised."

The documentary, which aired on the BBC's "Panorama" news programme just before the U.S. presidential election in 2024, spliced together three parts of Trump's speech on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol. The edit created the impression he had called for violence.
