Review says no need to alter BBC editing guidelines

THE BBC's editing guidelines do not need to be altered in the wake of controversy surrounding the edit of a Donald Trump speech, a review has found.

- 

The US president is seeking up to $10bn (£7.5bn) in damages in response to the BBC's editing of a speech he made before the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

The scandal unfolded earlier this year after a leaked memo, written by Michael Prescott, a former external adviser to the BBC's editorial standards committee, highlighted concerns that the speech had been selectively edited.
