The original scene goes as follows

Sam: It's just... sometimes the world can be a scary place. It's hard to know who's dangerous or not.

Nightshade: Hmm, that's true, though dissapointing.

Sam: Hey, it's ok. I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends or other non-binary people.

Nightshade: Non-binary?

Sam: People who aren't female or male. Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed.

Nightshade: I always felt my pronouns felt right, but what a wonderful word for a wonderful experience.

the one on BBC iplayer goes like this:

Sam: It's just... sometimes the world can be a scary place. It's hard to know who's dangerous or not.

Nightshade: Hmm, that's true, though dissapointing.

Sam: Hey, it's ok. I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends.

Key sections from the article:

The Joe Biden administration will work with Congress on possible sanctions against the International Criminal Court after its prosecutor announced it was seeking arrest warrants for senior Israeli and Hamas officials, US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.

[…]

Blinken’s openness to bipartisan co-operation over the ICC is a sign of the level of anger in Washington over its request for arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant.

[…]

The sanctions could be similar to those imposed by the Trump administration on the ICC’s then chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and the court’s head of jurisdiction Phakiso Mochochoko for their investigation into alleged US war crimes in Afghanistan. The sanctions froze their American assets and banned their travel to the US. The Biden administration has not yet indicated what kind of sanctions it would support.

[…]

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham praised Schumer’s response to the ICC warrant application and urged him “to follow strong words with strong deeds”.

“It is imperative that the Senate, in a bipartisan way, comes up with crippling sanctions against the ICC — not only to support Israel but to deter any future action against American personnel,” Graham said.

In an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday, Netanyahu said his response to the ICC’s announcement was “no different from what President Biden said, this is outrageous and many people across the political spectrum in the United States . . . have called it exactly that”.

“It’s a rogue prosecutor who’s out to demonise the one and only Jewish state,” he added.
