The BBC has overhauled its editorial standards committee following criticism over its handling of a misleading edit of Donald Trump's speech in a Panorama program, leading to high-profile resignations and a lawsuit from Trump. The new committee aims to improve transparency and responsiveness to editorial issues, while the BBC maintains its current editing guidelines.
President Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over a documentary that he claims falsely depicted his comments related to the January 6 Capitol attack, alleging the BBC manipulated footage to influence the 2024 election. The lawsuit also discusses how viewers in the U.S., particularly in Florida, could access the documentary via BritBox or VPNs, with some suggesting the use of VPNs is driven by access to adult content due to new age verification laws. Legal experts anticipate a possible settlement, noting Trump's history of suing media outlets.
Donald Trump has filed a $5 billion lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of defamation and maliciously editing his 2021 speech in a Panorama documentary, which he claims altered the context and misrepresented his words related to the Capitol riot. The BBC apologized but denied any legal wrongdoing, and the lawsuit raises issues about broadcasting rights and distribution outside the UK.
The BBC is considering issuing a formal apology to Donald Trump to resolve a billion-dollar legal threat over its editing of a speech, amid debates on defending its journalism and the potential political implications of the case.
NASA's Perseverance rover captured one of the clearest panoramas of Mars ever taken, showing a dust-free sky, diverse terrain including a float rock and an abrasion patch, and providing insights into the planet's geology and history, with images taken at the 'Falbreen' site on May 26, 2025.
A stunning 360-degree panorama of Mars taken by the Perseverance Rover shows a landscape that looks surprisingly like Earth's deserts, especially after color enhancement, highlighting the planet's terrain and the potential for future life detection missions. The image emphasizes the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth, with scientists testing rovers in the Chilean desert to prepare for future exploration.
NASA's Perseverance rover captured a detailed 360-degree enhanced-color panorama of Mars' 'Falbreen' region, revealing a surprisingly blue sky due to image processing, along with geological features like float rocks and an abrasion patch, providing insights into the Martian surface and atmosphere.
NASA's Perseverance rover captured a high-resolution 360° panorama of Mars on May 26, 2025, with enhanced blue hues to highlight contrast, revealing features like a float rock and an abrasion patch, as part of its ongoing mission to explore ancient lakebed terrain in Jezero Crater for signs of past life.
A new gene editing technique developed in the US allows scientists to accurately edit and rewrite DNA sequences, potentially leading to cures for certain diseases. The technology has the potential to transform the future of medicine and will be featured on BBC World News' Panorama program.
NASA's Curiosity rover has captured stunning photographs of Mars' Marker Band Valley, which were combined and colorized to create a beautiful "postcard" of the Martian landscape. The composite features dramatic shadows due to the opposing "suns" and the fact that it was winter when the photos were taken. NASA has also released an image identifying various features across the Martian landscape. This is not the first postcard from Curiosity, and with a major software update in April, it may not be the last.
Astrophotographer Mihail Minkov has captured a stunning 360-degree panorama of two Milky Way arches, which are visible only during a specific time of year. The image, titled "The Eyes of the Universe," required a lot of planning and is a time-blended panorama that combines traditional panoramic stitching with its requisite images separated by four hours. Minkov used astronomy software and photography apps to plan and capture the shot, which required a total of 38 shots and around 30 hours of work.
