The BBC is facing a major storm after Donald Trump threatened to sue them for a whopping $1 billion. This all started when the BBC's top bosses stepped down after some shady editing in a documentary about Trump.
The issue? A clip was edited to make it seem like Trump was encouraging violence, but he actually said he wanted people to be peaceful. Oops! The BBC admitted they messed up and apologized, but Trump isn't happy. His legal team gave the BBC a deadline to retract any false statements or face a massive lawsuit.
This isn't the first time the BBC has been accused of bias. People from all sides of politics in the UK often complain about their coverage. But this time, the criticism is coming from the right, just as the UK government is looking into how the BBC is funded.
The BBC's chairman said they didn't try to hide any problems, but they did admit the editing was a mistake. Meanwhile, the UK government is backing the BBC, saying it's important to have a strong and independent news service.
Nigel Farage, a big critic of the BBC, even said the broadcaster interfered in the US election. It's a messy situation, and the BBC is definitely feeling the heat.
