00:00The BBC is set to file a motion to dismiss Donald Trump's lawsuit over the editing of his 6th of January 2021 speech in a Panorama documentary.
00:10The US president filed a $5 billion lawsuit in a Florida court, accusing the BBC of defamation and of breaching trade practices law.
00:20Court papers filed show the broadcaster will argue the Florida court lacks personal jurisdiction over the BBC and that Trump has failed to state a claim.
00:28The BBC has apologised for the edit, but rejected demands for compensation and said there was no basis for a defamation claim.
00:37The BBC previously acknowledged the edit gave a mistaken impression, but said this did not amount to defamation.
