00:00The boss of the British Broadcasting Corporation or BBC, Tim Davie, and its head of news Deborah
00:05Ternes resigned following accusations of bias. This includes the way the national
00:10broadcaster used the speech by US President Donald Trump in a documentary.
00:15The BBC's flagship program Panorama edited two parts of one of Trump's speeches with the effect
00:20that he appeared to be encouraging the Capitol Hill riot of January 2021.
00:24The BBC has been under pressure ever since a leak to the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
00:29The report cited failings in the BBC's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war,
00:33transgender issues, and a speech by Trump.
00:36Trump welcomes Davie and Ternes' departure, saying the two are very dishonest people.
00:41Davie, who has led the BBC since 2020, defended the organization.
00:45He says its journalism is seen as the gold standard around the world,
00:49but mistakes have been made and he had to take ultimate responsibility.
