BBC director resigns after criticism of the broadcaster’s editing of a Trump speech
- BBC director-general Tim Davie has resigned, the corporation reported, and Deborah Turness, Chief Executive of BBC News, has also resigned.
- Splicing of footage in a Panorama episode prompted renewed scrutiny of BBC editorial practices after clips made it appear US President Donald Trump told supporters to 'fight like hell', and a Telegraph memo raised wider impartiality concerns.
- Mr Davie's tenure began in September 2020 and was marked by high-profile rows including disputes over Gary Lineker, Huw Edwards, and Bob Vylan.
- The BBC Board said it respects Davie's decision and will manage an interim handover, with Tim Davie arranging an orderly transition to a successor over the coming months.
- The BBC is expected to apologise on Monday over impartiality concerns, and Tim Davie said he takes ultimate responsibility for mistakes amid intense role demands.
