Trump is angry with the BBC

17-11-2025 07:00

Donald Trump is angry with the BBC. He says the BBC changes his speech before the 2021 Capitol attack. He wants a big lawsuit.

The BBC says sorry. The BBC also says that there are changes in Trump’s speech. BBC’s bosses leave their jobs. People say that the BBC does not always show both sides. Some experts say that Trump wants to control the news. The BBC wants to give fair news and keep people’s trust.

People talk about other problems, like Israel and Gaza. The BBC must show all sides and keep the news free. This story shows that the news can make mistakes, but it must stay fair and honest for people.

Difficult words: speech (a talk to people), lawsuit (a legal court case), trust (when someone believes you).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What steps did the BBC take in response to claims it had altered Trump’s speech?
