Trump claims 'huge victory' as judge allows $10b BBC defamation lawsuit to proceed

A US federal judge has allowed President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over the editing of his speech in a Panorama documentary to proceed. The judge, however, dismissed Trump's claim of unfair trade practices. The BBC said it was surprised by the ruling but remained confident in its legal position. Trump will still have to prove at trial that the broadcaster acted with actual malice and that he suffered damages.
