The BBC has apologised to US President Donald Trump for a Panorama episode which spliced parts of a speech together, but rejected his demands for compensation.

The corporation also said it would not show the programme again.

Lawyers for Trump have threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn (£759m) in damages unless the corporation issues a retraction, apologises and compensates him.

The apology comes after a second similarly edited clip, broadcast on Newsnight in 2022, was revealed by the Daily Telegraph.

Today we look at the latest in claims of briefings coming out of Number 10.

The prime minister's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney was not involved "directly or indirectly" in briefings against cabinet ministers and will not be leaving his job, sources have told the BBC.

Some in government have blamed McSweeney for being the source of the briefings.

McSweeney has not responded to calls for comment but people who have spoken to him have told the BBC: "He's done absolutely nothing wrong. He's not going anywhere."

To discuss it, Adam is joined by chief political correspondent, Henry Zeffman and Tom Baldwin, former senior Labour adviser and author of ‘Keir Starmer: The Biography’.

The chairman of the BBC has apologised for what he called an "error of judgement" in how a speech by Donald Trump was edited for an episode of Panorama.

The BBC's director-general and its head of news resigned on Sunday after a leaked memo criticised the documentary.

The United States Congress will vote next week on forcing the release of all the case files in the Jeffery Epstein investigation.

It comes hours after Democrats on the committee published emails written by the convicted sex offender that referenced President Donald Trump and the photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with the known Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre.

The e-mails also appear to show Andrew pleading with Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to make sure that he was not involved in the allegations against them.

The White House has accused democrats of trying to smear the President and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always strongly denied any wrongdoing.

President Donald Trump has signed a spending bill to reopen the government and end the longest shutdown in US history.

He signed the short-term bill into law just hours after the House of Representatives voted 222-209 to approve it on Wednesday night, and two days after the Senate narrowly approved the same bill.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said the government would now "resume normal operations" after "people were hurt so badly" from the 43-day shutdown.
