The BBC is in turmoil after its top executives resigned over a controversial edit of a Donald Trump speech.
Director-General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness stepped down following criticism that a Panorama documentary misrepresented Trump’s words. The clip made it seem he urged supporters to march on the Capitol, while the actual speech included calls for a peaceful demonstration. Key details about the timeline of events were also omitted.
BBC chairman Samir Shah said he will apologise to the UK Parliament’s media committee. The resignations have drawn sharp reactions, including praise from Trump, who called the broadcaster “dishonest.”
The episode has raised questions about media trust and editorial standards at one of Britain’s most important public institutions.
