BBC chairman Samir Shah has said the corporation would like to apologise for an “error of judgment” over the editing of a speech by Donald Trump for Panorama.
The apology follows the resignation of two of the corporation’s most senior figures on Sunday – chief executive of BBC News Deborah Turness and director-general Tim Davie – who announced their departure from the BBC after concerns were raised in Michael Prescott’s report that the speech had been selectively edited.
