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. The footage made it appear Trump urged supporters to march to the US Capitol, sparking claims of bias. Davie said the decision was his own and took responsibility for “mistakes made.” Turness said the controversy had begun to damage the BBC and that “the buck stops with me.” BBC Chair Samir Shah praised her integrity, while UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy thanked Davie for guiding the broadcaster through major challenges.
