BBC chief resigns after row over Trump documentary

The director general of the British Broadcasting Corporation announced his resignation Sunday following a row over the editing of a documentary about US President Donald Trump.

Tim Davie and the BBC's head of news, Deborah Turness, resigned that a BBC Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Trump. Davie said "there have been some mistakes made and as Director-General he has to take ultimate responsibility."  Davie's departure comes a week after The Sunday Telegraph leaked an internal memo raising concerns about the documentary.
