# The BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, and News CEO Deborah Turness have resigned, following concerns about impartiality, including how a speech by US president Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama. The Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo that suggested the Panorama programme had misleadingly edited a speech by Trump to make it appear that he had directly called for violence on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. Trump has welcomed the resignations, calling Davie and Turness “very dishonest people.”
