US President Donald Trump is threatening to sue the BBC over allegations they edited a speech to make it seem like he incited violence from supporters ahead of the January 6th US Capitol riots. Following the resignation of two senior BBC bosses, analysts say the legal action is just the latest effort from Trump to silence his critics.

A powerful car explosion near New Delhi’s historic Red Fort has killed at least eight people and injured around twenty others. The blast, which erupted near the Red Fort metro station in the city's old quarter, tore through one of the city’s busiest streets, setting vehicles ablaze and scattering debris and human remains along the road.

The director for the International Centre for Journalists says the resignation of two senior figures at the BBC is a result of an "orchestrated campaign to undercut public trust" in the broadcaster. The head of the BBC, director-general Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness both resigned after criticism of the broadcaster’s editing of a speech by US President Donald Trump. Critics said the way the speech was edited for the BBC's flagship documentary program Panorama last year was misleading and cut out a section where Donald Trump said that he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully. Mr Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC over the way the speech he made was edited.
