BBC director resigned due to Trump speech controversy

BBC Director General Tim Davie resigned due to controversies related to Donald Trump's speech. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by the Daily Mail. Along with Tim Davie, Deborah Turness, head of BBC's news division, also left her position.

The controversy arose from the incorrect editing of footage from Donald Trump's speech on January 6, 2021, in the BBC's Panorama program. This editing made it appear as if Trump was urging his supporters to go to the Capitol and "fight with full force."

Tim Davie emphasized that he took full responsibility for these mistakes. Donald Trump, on the Truth Social platform, praised Tim Davie's resignation and called him a "very unfair person."

The controversies led to significant changes in the BBC leadership.
