The BBC chair, 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 – the chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, and the director general, Tim Davie – who announced their departure after concerns were raised in Michael Prescott’s leaked report that the speech had been selectively edited.
