On 9 November 2025, the BBC director-general, Tim Davie, and the chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, both resigned. A newspaper had reported on an internal memo criticizing how the program Panorama had edited a speech by Donald Trump.
Davie wrote to staff: “Overall, the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director-general I have to take ultimate responsibility.” Turness wrote: “As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me.”
