BBC chair apologies for ‘error in judgment’ in Trump speech edit

The chair of the BBC is apologizing for the way the broadcaster edited a video of President Trump speaking to a crowd of his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington D.C. before the attack on the Capitol that day.

Criticisms of the edit, which have led to the resignations of both BBC Director-General Tim Davie and the CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turness, has “also prompted further reflection by the BBC,” Chair Samir Shah wrote in a letter to British lawmakers this week.

“The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement,” Shah said.

The video in question, shown as part of a BBC documentary and highlighted in reporting by The Telegraph, depicts Trump saying “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell.”

A complete video and transcript of the president’s remarks shows him urging his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” march to the Capitol.

Trump has celebrated the resignation of Davie and Turness and has ridiculed the BBC over the edit, alleging the episode is evidence of bias against him.

“I will personally ensure that the BBC continues to take the necessary actions in the future to ensure the BBC retains the trust and confidence of the public we serve,” Shah wrote in his letter. “There is an increasing need for the public to be informed in a way that is impartial, truthful and is based on evidence they can trust. That is the sacred job of the BBC.”

More Americans are injecting themselves with unapproved chemicals that are pitched as ways to build muscle, rejuvenate skin and extend life, the latest example of the nation’s fascination with alternative therapies and wellness hacks.

Behind the trend is the surging popularity of GLP-1 weight loss medications, a class of so-called peptides approved to help users quickly shed pounds.

But the peptides being promoted by influencers, celebrities and wellness gurus are different: Many have never been approved for human use and much of their purported evidence comes from studies in rats and other animals. Several peptides, such as BPC-157 and TB-500, are banned by international sports authorities as doping substances.

“None of them are proven,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a research methods expert and director of Scripps Research Translational Institute. “None of them have gone through what would be considered adequate clinical trials, but nonetheless many people are taking these. It’s actually quite extraordinary.”

Those who’ve highlighted peptides’ benefits include Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has built a national following among Americans who are deeply skeptical of health experts, pharmaceutical companies and traditional medicine.

For years, the Food and Drug Administration has been trying to crack down on the space, sending warning letters to clinics that promote the products and adding more than two dozen peptides to a list of ingredients that should not be made by specialty pharmacies that often custom mix the formulations.

That approach may be coming to an end.

Kennedy has vowed to end “FDA’s war” on peptides and other alternative treatments that are embraced by many in his Make America Healthy Again movement.

Employees of a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas, where convicted child-sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is serving time have been terminated, one of Maxwell’s lawyers said Friday, after a whistleblower this week released to Rep. Jamie Raskin alleged correspondence between Maxwell and her lawyer.

Leah Saffian, a California-based attorney who has long-represented Maxwell, said in a statement: “The release to the media by Congressman Raskin (Dem., Maryland), of Ms. Maxwell’s privileged client-attorney email correspondence with me is as improper as it is a denial of justice.”

Saffian added that employees at the prison have been met with “appropriate consequences.”

“They have been terminated for improper, unauthorized access to the email system used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to allow inmates to communicate with the outside world,” she said.

CNN has reached out to the Bryan prison, Bureau of Prisons and the Justice Department for comment.

Earlier this week, Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, released what he said was information about Maxwell’s life inside the Bryan prison — including special privileges being afforded to the late-Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman — that was shared with Raskin by a whistleblower.

The whistleblower also told Raskin that Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, is in the process of preparing to file an application for commutation. According to an email that the whistleblower shared with the committee, Maxwell wrote to Saffian in early October that she planned to send materials “through the warden.”

After pressure from the Trump admin, California suddenly "discovers" that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have active CDLs. They are revoking them. This comes weeks after Gavin Newsom claimed they weren't letting illegals operate commercial vehicles.

This equates to a 95% reduction in the number of foreigners who have valid CDLs in California. Their illegal population is just simply that large.

California revokes 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses for immigrants

California plans to revoke 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses given to immigrants after discovering the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the U.S., state officials said Wednesday.

The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally. The issue was thrust into the public’s consciousness in August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday that California’s action to revoke these licenses is an admission that the state acted improperly even though it previously defended its licensing standards. California launched its review of commercial driver’s licenses it issued after Duffy raised concerns.

“After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed. Now that we’ve exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked,” Duffy said, referring to the state’s governor. “This is just the tip of iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses.”

>In one message, Epstein said one of his apparent victims "spent hours at my house" with Trump.

WASHINGTON ― The late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein suggested to confidants that President Donald Trump knew about his criminal activity, according to email messages made public Wednesday.

Trump “knew about the girls,” Epstein wrote in one of the three emails released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

The emails, culled from thousands of documents obtained from a committee subpoena to the Epstein estate, have previously not been made public, the Democrats said. The messages undermine the president’s efforts to downplay his relationship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while facing federal charges related to sex trafficking minors.

In another of the messages, from 2011, Epstein tells Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner in crime, that Trump is the “dog that hasn’t barked” because he’d spent time with someone whose name is redacted as “VICTIM.”

“i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump,” Epstein wrote. ”[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him,, he has never once been mentioned.”

At the time, Epstein had already been convicted in Florida of felony solicitation of prostitution following an investigation that discovered Epstein and his accomplice grooming underage girls for sexual abuse by recruiting them to work as massage therapists at Epstein’s home in Palm Beach, Florida. Epstein struck a deal with federal prosecutors, who agreed not to press federal charges in exchange for Epstein’s guilty plea to state charges.

https://stateline.org/2025/11/12/congress-pushes-hemp-crackdown-after-pressure-from-states-marijuana-industry/

A provision significantly limiting the sale of intoxicating hemp products made its way into legislation to reopen the federal government just a day before the Senate approved the bill. Its inclusion follows years of pressure from states and the marijuana industry.

While states continue to expand access to legal marijuana, a separate market of hemp-derived intoxicants has blossomed. The products, from drinks to gummies, are sold in gas stations and smoke shops. Critics say some companies have exploited a legal loophole from 2018 to manufacture products that get people high — without the safety regulations and taxes facing the legal marijuana industry.

That’s led dozens of states to limit or ban certain intoxicating hemp products. Most states also have pushed for federal changes, though some farm states worry the pending federal bill — which the House is expected to vote on as soon as today — goes too far.

A bipartisan group of 39 state attorneys general recently urged Congress to clarify the federal definition of hemp, arguing that the underregulated industry threatens public health and undermines law enforcement.

Texas lawmakers this year approved a strict ban on intoxicating hemp, but that measure was vetoed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. The governor raised constitutional concerns because federal law allowed the products, but he then issued an executive order increasing state agency regulations, including age restrictions.

President Donald Trump remains "committed" to sending each American a $2,000 dividend check to be distributed from tariff revenue, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.

White House officials are exploring ways to execute the plan put forward by Trump in a social media post over the weekend, Leavitt added, but she did not provide details about specific options.

"The president made it clear he wants to make it happen," Leavitt told reporters at the White House. "So his team of economic advisers are looking into it."
