Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Judge Allows Trump's BBC Defamation Claim to Proceed
Caption: Judge Allows Trump’s BBC Defamation Claim to Proceed. A Florida judge has allowed President Donald Trump's defamation claim against the BBC to move forward. However, the judge dismissed a separate claim under Florida's unfair trade practices law in the lawsuit. Trump filed the $10 billion lawsuit over edits to his speech before the 2021 Capitol riot. The BBC apologised for edits that misleadingly suggested Trump had directly called for violence that day. The ruling allows proceedings to continue but does not establish whether Trump's allegations can be proven. Trump called the decision a huge victory, while the BBC expressed surprise and defended its position. The broadcaster argues the programme was unavailable in America and fails to meet legal defamation standards. Trump has been ordered to answer questions under oath by 11 December after cancelling a deposition. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
