A US radio talk show host says he will sue the British government for defamation after being placed on a list of people banned from entering the UK.

Conservative political commentator Michael Savage, real name Michael Alan Weiner, is one of 22 people barred for 'fostering extremism or hate'.

Speaking exclusively to the BBC Mr Savage said he would drop the threat if he received an apology.
