BBC asks US federal judge to compel Trump’s lawyers to schedule deposition after his team canceled initial session

The BBC is asking a federal judge in Florida to force Donald Trump to sit for a deposition as part of the president’s $10bn defamation lawsuit against the British broadcaster.

According to a Tuesday filing, the BBC and Trump’s legal team had agreed for him to be deposed on Friday. The BBC’s lawyers wrote to the judge that they have spent months trying to secure a location for the deposition from Trump’s team.

On 28 September, Trump’s lawyers told the BBC’s counsel that the president “is no longer available for his deposition on October 16 due to other matters of national importance”.

Just bought a 2m section of flexible tube for a gas stove, and the sales clerk asked first for my phone number, to which I replied "I don't have one". Then she asked me my name, to which I replied "I'll pay in cash". She then insisted it was so "the cashier will call you by name", to which I replied "I'm not giving you my name, I'll pay in cash".

Am I wrong for not wanting to give personal data for an item paid in cash, in person? No other hardware store ever asks me for my personal info.

Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

The mother said that when Vivian was 6 years old, Elon told her, “In this world, there are winners and losers. Do you want to be a winner or do you want to be a loser?” Justine Wilson added, “The subtext there was, ‘If you do not follow me and do what I say, you will be a loser.’ ”

Justine Wilson said that Musk treated Vivian Wilson’s gender transition like the “death of a child” and added that her trans daughter felt “pain” after Musk wrote on X (the social media platform that he has owned since 2022) that he had lost his child to the “woke mind virus.”

In response to her father, Vivian Wilson published a defiant social media post in which she wrote, “I look pretty good for a dead b**ch… and you don’t.” She later reprinted the phrase on apparel to fundraise for LGBTQ+ youth.
