Cooper revealed that the <em>Panorama<\/em> film was successfully viewed 570,000 times on iPlayer, but only 0.05%, or 285, of these streams originated from IP addresses that could have been based in America. Some 34 streams appear to have originated from IP addresses that may have been based in Florida, where the case is being heard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his interview under oath, Cooper was repeatedly clear with Trump\u2019s lawyers that although the BBC\u2019s data \u201cmight identify the IP address as being from the United States, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean to say it originated from the United States.\u201d He added that the Florida IP streams were linked to an internet service provider associated with a cruise ship company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooper also qualified that the BBC\u2019s viewing figures were for the \u201centire period that the documentary was<br \/>available.\u201d This is important because it is not clear if the 285 potential U.S. streams came in the days leading up to the election, when Trump claims that election meddling took place. The <em>Panorama<\/em> film was on iPlayer for around a year before being pulled by the BBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BBC is defending the lawsuit, but has admitted failings over the <em>Panorama<\/em> film. The broadcaster has apologized for the Trump edit, with chair Samir<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/11\/bbc-chair-apologizes-donald-trump-edited-footage-1236612465\/\">\u00a0Shah describing it as an \u201cerror of judgment.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0He added: \u201cWe accept the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2018s lawyers have accused the BBC of a \u201cbrazen\u201d attempt to interfere in the 2024 U.S. election on the basis that fewer than 300 Americans may have seen a documentary that misleadingly edited his January 6 speech.
