U.S. President Donald Trump said he still intends to take legal action against the BBC over a misleading edit of his speech on January 6, 2021.
The BBC has issued a public apology to the president, but said it "strongly disagreed there is a basis for a defamation claim."
(Reporter: So the BBC has apologised and retracted the report and they say they won't pay any compensation.)
"Well, we'll sue them, we'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and $5 billion, probably sometime next week," said Trump.
(Reporter: "So you're ready to take...)
"Well, I think I have to do it. I mean it's they've even admitted that they cheated. I mean, not that they couldn't have not done that. They cheated, they changed the words coming out of my mouth. That's worse than what CBS did with Kamala (Harris). They change your answer, but at least it showed, you know, coming out of her mouth."
(Reporter: Do you think it's appropriate that British TV viewers have to pay more than $200 just to get right to watch television? Do you think the license fee...?)
"Well, I don't know what they doing in a place that I like a lot; in general UK, right. But, the people of the UK are very angry about what happened. As you can imagine, because it shows that BBC is fake news. Of course you and I knew that for a long time, but we didn't know it was this big."
(Reporter: Have you raised the issue with Sir Keir Starmer?)
"I have not, but I'll call him. I'm going to call him over the weekend. He actually put in a call into me. He's very embarrassed by it. You know, that's I don't know what percentage is owned by the country. But regardless if it's small or large or nothing, I can say this. The UK is very, very embarrassed by BBC, what they did."
