The UK's largest newspapers all lead on the resignation of the Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie, who stepped down alongside the broadcaster's head of news Deborah Turness over accusations that a documentary by its flagship Panorama programme had edited a speech by US President Donald Trump in a misleading way.

Announcing his resignation, Davie said in a statement posted on the BBC website: "Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable.” Earlier Sunday, the UK Culture, Media and Sport Minister Lisa Nandy called the allegations "incredibly serious". The BBC has promised "a full response" to parliament's culture media and sport committee on Monday.
