LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump has sent a letter to the BBC threatening legal action over the way a speech he made was edited in a documentary aired by the British broadcaster. The BBC’s top executive and its head of news both quit Sunday over accusations of bias and misleading editing. In the documentary, aired before the 2024 election, Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech was edited to omit his call for peaceful protest. Trump has threatened legal action, claiming the edits misrepresented his words. BBC chairman Samir Shah apologized for the “error of judgment” and acknowledged the edits gave the impression of inciting violence. The broadcaster, known for its impartiality, is facing criticism from various political sides.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The justices on Monday turned away an appeal from a former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling. Clerk Kim Davis had been trying to get the justices to overturn a lower-court order that she pay $360,000 in damages and attorney’s fees. Justice Clarence Thomas has urged his colleagues to overturn the Supreme Court’s marriage decision, much as they did in 2022 when the high court overturned the right to abortion.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration says it will remove a long-standing warning from hormone-based drugs used to treat menopause symptoms in women. The change announced Monday is a break from more than 20 years of FDA policy, in which the drugs carried the agency’s most severe warning label. But FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and some other doctors have long criticized the current warning label as outdated and unnecessary. They say it discourages some women from seeking treatment that can help with hot flashes, vaginal dryness and other uncomfortable symptoms. Other experts have said the warning carries important information about risks of stroke, heart attack and breast cancer.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Justice Department official says President Donald Trump has pardoned his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and others accused of backing the Republican’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Government pardon attorney Ed Martin posted on social media a signed proclamation of the pardons. Others granted a “full, complete and unconditional pardon” include conservative attorneys Sidney Powell and John Eastman. The proclamation explicitly says the pardon does not apply to Trump. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, and none of the Trump allies was charged in a federal case.

California health officials say tests show that ByHeart baby formula linked to a botulism outbreak contained the type of bacteria that produces the toxin that has sickened at least 13 infants in 10 states. No deaths have been reported. The most recent cases were confirmed in November. Consumers should stop using ByHeart powdered infant formula immediately.

LONDON (AP) — The head of the BBC has resigned after criticism of the broadcaster’s editing of a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump. The BBC said that director-general Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness both announced their resignations on Sunday. Britain’s public broadcaster has been criticized for editing a speech Trump made on Jan. 6, 2021, before protesters attacked the Capitol in Washington. Critics said the way the speech was edited for a BBC documentary last year was misleading and cut out a section where Trump said that he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully.

NEW YORK (AP) — Airports across the U.S. are experiencing significant disruptions due to the ongoing government shutdown. The Federal Aviation Administration has reduced flights as some air traffic controllers who have gone without pay for weeks have stopped showing up for work. The Senate took a first step toward ending the shutdown Sunday, but final passage could still be several days away and experts have said it will take time for flights to go back to normal even after the government reopens. Over the weekend, airlines canceled thousands of flights, with more cancellations expected, including at major airports like Newark and Atlanta.
