The BBC's director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness have resigned after criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Donald Trump.

The Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo that suggested the Panorama programmed edited two parts of the US president's speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riot of January 2021.

It is unprecedented for both the director general and the head of BBC News to resign on the same day.

Davie said: "Like all public organizations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable.

"While not being the only reason, the current debate around BBC News has understandably contributed to my decision.

"Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility."

Were they innocent mistakes?     Just a thought.
