Deluded Davie launches fightback

President Donald Trump has gone to war with the BBC - demanding one billion dollars unless the broadcaster apologises for their Panorama investigation by Friday. 

The US president is accusing the public broadcaster of a “reckless disregard for the truth” over the selective editing of Mr Trump’s speech on the day of the Capitol Hill riot. 

Despite the BBC’s current turmoil, outgoing director general Tim Davie has told his staff to “fight for our journalism” and attacked the BBC’s “enemies”. 

In today’s Daily T, Camilla and Tim unpack why the former US president is threatening legal action and how this fits into Trump’s long history of lawsuits which he is known for using to silence journalists and critics.
