The BBC has formally apologized to United States President Donald Trump after admitting that its Panorama documentary misrepresented his January 6, 2021 speech by editing together separate excerpts, creating the false impression of a direct call for violence. The broadcaster acknowledged the error and stated it would not rebroadcast the program, but rejected Trump's demand for financial compensation, asserting there is no basis for a defamation claim. The controversy has led to the resignations of the BBC's Director General and Head of News, and prompted an investigation into a possible second instance of misleading editing involving Trump. The BBC has also faced criticism and issued multiple apologies in recent months over its coverage of events in Gaza and its handling of sensitive topics related to Israel and Hamas.
