LIVE: BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit

BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness have resigned over a documentary about Donald Trump.

The Telegraph had published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting Panorama edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.

In a statement, Davie says: “There have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility.”
