The US president’s claim is based on the way the BBC edited a speech he gave on 6 January 2021 in its Panorama documentary. On Tuesday, US District Judge Jeffrey T. Kuntz denied the British broadcaster’s attempt to have the defamation claim dismissed.

Its distinctive volcanic caldera, whitewashed houses and sunsets in Oia consistently place it among the top choices for international travellers. However, over the past two years local hoteliers have been complaining that their hotels are not filling up with tourists. “After the Covid pandemic we had intense tourist activity on our island, but because of some unrelated events, one was the seismic activity on the neighbouring islands and later on the war in the Gulf, we experienced a drop in tourism,” hotel owner Thomas Giannis tells Euronews. “For me personally it…
