  • Hello, and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service Live from London.

  • This is Owen Bennett-Jones, the clash between the BBC and President Trump.

  • It is far from over.

  • The BBC has apologised to him for the way it edited his January the 6th speech,

  • but he says that's not enough to stop a legal claim.

  • And this is, on the face of it, a legal matter, but obviously there's also politics involved.

  • The US President has said he will soon be discussing it with British Prime Minister Sakir Stammer.

  • Bev Turner is a news anchor for GB News Television Network here in the UK.

  • She asked Mr.

  • Trump why he felt compelled to press ahead with the lawsuit.

  • How far will you push it?

  • Because they haven't offered, our understanding is they've offered no money whatsoever.

  • They've apologized in a letter, but they haven't offered you a penny in compensation.

  • There was this figure of a billion dollars that you may be pursuing.

  • I think I have an obligation to do it.

  • Look, I'm not looking to get into lawsuits, but I think I have an obligation to do it.

  • This was so egregious.

  • If you don't do it, you don't stop it from happening again with other people.

  • I think you probably have an obligation.

  • I'd like to find out why they did it, you know, so bad.
