For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

On currently available information: even if Trump was able to show this was a libel causing substantial damage, BBC likely to succeed with defence that "sting" of the libel was substantially true.

Some preliminary points:
Trump is unlikely to succeed in a claim for defamation against the BBC (on information available).
Even if he succeeded, damages for this alleged defamation would be no more than about £50k, probably less. Even the worst libels, now no more than about £100k.
£1bn? No way.
