BBC director general Tim Davie resigned, followed by News chief Deborah Turness, after a leaked memo revealed Panorama spliced two distant parts of Donald Trump's 6 January 2021 speech, prompting accusations it made him seem to urge the Capitol riots. The White House branded the broadcaster "100% fake news." Chairman Samir Shah called it a sad day and is expected to apologise to a parliamentary committee. Davie cited accountability and said an orderly transition will begin. The row comes amid other editorial breaches and bias concerns highlighted inside the BBC and by recent complaints.
