Tim Davie has resigned as the BBC's director general following criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by US President Donald Trump. Deborah Turness, the CEO of BBC News, has also stepped down from her role over the issue. Davie, who has been in the job for five years, had faced increasing pressure over a series of controversies. Announcing his resignation on Sunday evening, Davie said: "Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable. "Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility."
