I think it’s best at this point to call the American version American rather than English, cause it’s kind of doing it’s own thing, but if you call it English. The standard should be based off the English dictionary.
The audio clip in that source is just flat out wrong (and I’m pretty sure it’s either AI generated or an American trying to do a British accent. Source: Am British). If you look at the phonetic symbols you’ll see that they’re identical for both pronunciations, and every other source agrees that the pronunciations are the same for UK and US.
Which is correct pronunciation…

Though it occurs to me that she was speaking with an American accent though so I’m not sure of saying she should pronounce it the British way.
They’re wrong. See my comment above.
