Today, Laura and Paddy discuss President Donald Trump’s decision to continue with legal action.
The BBC apologised to the president, saying it had unintentionally given "the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action" and said it would not be broadcast again. However, they would not pay financial compensation.
