Donald Trump shut down a BBC reporter in a furious tirade on Air Force One. The radio journalist tried to ask theUS Presidenta question on the aircraft, before the current occupant of the White House asked: "Who are you with?" The reporter replied: "The BBC, for the radio." Mr Trump interjected: "The fakeBBC. You mean the ones that put AI in my mouth? The ones that had me saying a statement that they now admit was not true. The ones that put terrible words in my mouth, and then had to admit that it was fake?

"The ones that are beingsued now for $5billion, and don't know what to do? You're with [the]BBC? They're another fake outfit." Mr Trump is suing the British broadcaster, with court proceedings scheduled for February 2027, according to documents. He claims that the organisation "intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively doctoring" a speech he gave on January 6, 2021, before the US Capitol riots.

The BBC apologised to him for the way its Panorama programme edited the speech, but said there was no basis for a defamation claim, and rejected his demands for compensation.

The President told supporters before the US' legislative base was invaded: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women."

More than 50 minutes later, he said: "And we fight. We fight like hell."

But, in the documentary, a clip showed the President saying: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."

"As we have made clear previously, we will be defending this case," a BBC spokesperson previously said.
