This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Charlotte Gallagher, and in the early hours of Saturday, the 15th of November, these are our main stories.
Donald Trump says he will sue the BBC for up to $5 billion, despite the broadcaster apologising for a documentary which edited his speech.
The US president also says he will order an investigation into prominent Democrats' alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein.
And the mining giant BHP is found liable for Brazil's worst environmental disaster.
Also in this podcast, the latest from COP30.
And we're in the occupied West Bank, where there's been a record number of attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers.
Let's start with the ongoing row between the BBC and the US President.
Donald Trump has said he will take legal action against the broadcaster.
The BBC has already apologised for editing together two parts of Mr Trump's speech on the day of the Capitol riots, which gave the impression he had called for violence.
The BBC's Director General and Head of News have resigned over the scandal.
Speaking on Air Force One, President Trump told reporters about his plans.
We'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and five billion dollars, probably sometime next week.
So you're ready to take legal action?
I think I have to do it.
I mean, they've even admitted that they cheated.
They changed the words coming out of my mouth.
Mr Trump has also been speaking to another British broadcaster, GB News.
The interviewer, saying that the BBC had apologised but wasn't willing to pay compensation, asked President Trump how far he was willing to go.
So Donald Trump is not backing down.
