why has tim davie resigned

Tim Davie resigned as BBC director-general amid intense pressure over internal criticism of impartiality and a controversial Panorama edit of a Donald Trump speech. He said the decision was his own and that, while the BBC overall is delivering well, there were mistakes for which he, as leader, takes ultimate responsibility. Deborah Turness, the BBC News chief, also stepped down in the same context. The resignations followed ongoing scrutiny of the BBC’s editorial standards and accusations of bias, particularly related to coverage around Trump and other sensitive topics.
