BBC Director General and News CEO resign

from dc · host Salai Dawtcemsang

The director general of the BBC Tim Davie and the head of news Deborah Turness have resigned following criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing two parts of President Trump's speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021. Also in the programme: Activists in Afghanistan say the Taliban authorities order women to wear burkas to be allowed into hospitals and government offices in the western city of Herat; and Sudan's rich artistic history.
