That would be most unwise, Michael. In the first place the BBC was in the wrong  as it has already admitted. So to refuse to apologise would be seen at best as ungracious and at worst as arrogant. But even more important is the threat to the relationship between the UK and the USA. Even if Trump is unsuccessful in his lawsuit, he is quite capable of seeking revenge on this country in other ways eg by imposing tariffs. My advice would be to apologise, remove the libellous sequence from the documentary and agree an appropriate donation. Once that is done the Chairman should seek the resignation of the two idiots responsible for the documentary as well as that of Jonathan Munro, the global editor of BBC News, who along with Deborah Turness defended the programme at the meeting in May when Michael Prescott's letter was discussed. After that the Chairman should tell Nick Robinson of Radio 4 and others to shut up about a right wing coup. Finally he should send a letter to all staff telling them to leave their personal political opinions at home when they go to work for the BBC.
