Police and demonstrators clash in downtown Washington after a limo was set on fire.

Another said: "Guessing you've been hacked? Not seen this ANYWHERE else!"

After a short period of confusion, the tweet was deleted and a clarification was sent out.

It read: "Message from OurMine: we detected unusual activity on this account, the account was hacked by someone and we are trying to fix the issue now."

BBC Northampton were forced to tweet an apology

This morning's confusion came after the BBC suffered an embarrassing gaffe during its live coverage of Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday.

Subtitles on some viewers' screens were replaced with subtitles from children's show "The Dumping Ground", a Tracey Beaker spin-off.

Text reading “Oh whatever” and “mum will get into trouble” appeared on screen with Mr Trump’s face, and as the camera switched to Barack Obama, read: “Just shut it, yeah? Oi! Leave him alone!”

During the swearing-in ceremony, the subtitles read: “No one wants you here.

“You’re only in a mood because Mo’s gone.

“Just shut it, yeah? Oi! Leave him alone! Just tell him to get out of my face!”

The subtitles appeared as Cardinal Timothy Dolan delivered a prayer.

The BBC is investigating the mistake to try to find out whether the issue was regional, but said the issue was not a nationwide problem.

A Corporation spokesperson said: “We have not found any evidence or had other feedback from viewers that our main output covering the inauguration was subtitled incorrectly.”
