Deborah Turness gone too. And Chairman Samir Shah is to apologise to MPs in the week…
Live reporting on the BBC News website:
“BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resign following criticism that a BBC Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by US President Donald Trump.
We’ll have more on this shortly.”
Local government minister Alison McGovern told LBC that the BBC should apologise to Trump:
“If they’ve made an editorial mistake, then they should apologise. And, more broadly, I think if they’ve made errors, I think the answer to that is better quality journalism, and to invest in that journalism so that we can have the standard of programmes we all want from the BBC.”
