Video appearing to show BBC reporter caught on hot mic after Zelenskyy-Trump meeting has been edited
What was claimed
BBC Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse was caught on a hot mic after the meeting of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump in the White House, saying: "This is the second time ever that a US president ****s someone in the Oval Office."
Our verdict
This audio clip has been faked. Mr Waterhouse says it is AI-generated, and a full clip of the report shows no such comments were broadcast.
