BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resigned Sunday following controversy over a Panorama documentary that misleadingly edited Donald Trump's January 6, 2021 speech. The edit stitched together segments 50 minutes apart, making Trump appear to explicitly encourage the Capitol riot. A leaked internal memo by former editorial adviser Michael Prescott revealed systemic bias concerns, including BBC Arabic's Israel-Gaza coverage and censorship on trans issues. Trump called the BBC "100% fake news," welcoming the resignations. UK political leaders expressed hope for change. BBC Chairman Samir Shah called it a "sad day." The unprecedented simultaneous resignations come ahead of Royal Charter negotiations expiring in 2027. Successors face ongoing bias allegations and editorial challenges.(PC: BBC)

New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is yet to decide if he will move from his small rented flat in Queens to the official mayor’s residence, Gracie Mansion. The 34-year-old, son of filmmaker Mira Nair, said he knows where he’ll work — City Hall — but not yet where he’ll live. Mamdani, the first Indian-origin, South Asian, and Muslim to lead New York, built his campaign around affordable living. His modest apartment, a rent-stabilised unit, stands in sharp contrast to the historic 18th-century mansion awaiting him on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. (PC: X)

BBC Director-General Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness have resigned amid growing controversy over an edited clip of Donald Trump’s speech shown in a Panorama episode.

New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is deciding whether to move from his small rental flat in Queens to the official mayor’s home, Gracie Mansion. The 34-year-old, who made history as the city’s first Indian-origin, South Asian, and Muslim mayor, said he has not yet decided where he will live. Mamdani and his wife, artist Rama Duwaji, have lived in their modest one-bedroom apartment since 2018. Moving to the grand 18th-century mansion would mark a huge change. Despite his new status, Mamdani says his focus remains on City Hall and on serving New York’s working-class residents. (PC: Reuters)

Britain is sending military support to Belgium after a series of suspected Russian drone incursions over its airspace. Belgium’s main airport, Zaventem, was forced to close on Thursday after drones were spotted nearby. Similar sightings were reported at a military base and other sites. UK Defence Chief Sir Richard Knighton said the drones could be linked to Russia, though it was not confirmed. Defence Secretary John Healey said the UK and NATO allies would protect critical infrastructure. Germany also pledged anti-drone support. The incidents disrupted flights for about 3,000 passengers across Brussels Airlines. (PC: BBC)

Donald Trump announced that no U.S. government officials will attend the upcoming 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, citing alleged “human rights abuses” against white Afrikaners and land confiscations in the host nation. He described the decision as a response to what he termed a “total disgrace” of holding the summit in South Africa. South African authorities have strongly rejected the allegations, calling them false. The move underscores rising U.S.–South Africa diplomatic tensions and raises questions about the future role of the U.S. in multilateral forums. (PC: Reuters)

A boat carrying about 90 undocumented migrants sank near the Thailand-Malaysia border off the coast of Langkawi, in the state of Kedah, Malaysia, causing at least one death and leaving dozens missing. Rescue operations have retrieved around ten survivors, including three Myanmar nationals, two Rohingya refugees and one Bangladeshi man; the deceased was identified as a Rohingya woman. The migrants had reportedly transferred from a larger vessel to smaller boats to avoid detection—as their journey was orchestrated outside legal channels by trafficking networks. (PC: AFP)
