BBC Reporter Calls BS on Trump’s Demand for Nobel Prize in Scathing Fact-Check

BBC Verify U.S. Correspondent Nick Beake called BS on President Donald Trump’s demand for a Nobel Prize as he performed a scathing fact-check on Trump’s United Nations speech.

President Trump spoke for nearly an hour to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday in an address that was beset by technical issues and replete with Trump’s characteristic touches — including his frequent lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize.

On Tuesday’s edition of BBC News at Six, Beake and anchor Sophie Raworth knocked down a raft of Trump claims, including an extra-emphatic rebuttal to the Nobel rant:

SOPHIE RAWORTH: Let’s start with London wants to go to Sharia law.

NICK BEAKE, BBC VERIFY: Yeah, that’s right Sophie, this was the startling claim made by President Trump today, part of his message that immigration is destroying European countries, including the UK.
