Well, Asma,
I'm talking to you from the BBC headquarters in London where the place is in a bit of a turmoil today.
I'm afraid there's been a showdown and the two top bosses of the BBC have resigned from their jobs.
I'm sure this has crossed many people's radars already in the United States.
Yeah, we've heard about it.
So Donald Trump is threatening to sue the BBC for $1 billion unless he gets an apology for a mistake that was made.
The BBC is admitted to it over an edit,
an internal edit of something that he said in a speech on the 6th of January 2021.
And it's an important moment for the BBC right now.
You know, Tristan, the way that this story is largely being framed here in the U.S.
is through the lens of President Trump's long ongoing history of suing various news outlets for coverage that he does not like.
He's filed lawsuits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS News,
and the way that many people see what's happening right now with Trump threatening to sue the BBC for a billion dollars is within that broad frame,
in part
because President Trump's team was on social media taking a victory lap after we saw those two senior leaders resign,
and this is being perceived as Trump's influence leading to the resignation of these two leaders at the BBC.
But, you know, the sense I've gotten, Tristan, from conversations with you,
with other colleagues, British colleagues based in London, is that that's not the whole story.
Well, on this occasion, the BBC may have bigger problems than Donald Trump.
It's a far-reaching and complex crisis for the BBC, and we're going to explain that to you today.
