DEVELOPING: BBC Chair Apologizes for Panorama Trump Edit Controversy

Breaking News: BBC Chair Apologizes for Panorama Trump Edit Controversy The BBC's outgoing Chair Richard Sharp has apologized for the corporation's handling of a Panorama documentary that edited a speech by US President Donald Trump. The edit made it appear as though Trump was urging people to attack the US Capitol after his election defeat. The BBC has been given a deadline of 14 November by Trump's legal team to make a "full and fair retraction" of the documentary or face being sued for £1 billion. The controversy centers around a 6 January 2021 speech by Trump, which was spliced together to create a misleading impression. A leaked internal memo revealed the BBC's alleged bias in editing the speech. The BBC's outgoing news CEO Deborah Turness has denied institutional bias, but her resignation alongside director general Tim Davie has raised further questions about the corporation's editorial standards. The BBC has yet to comment on the deadline set by Trump's legal team. This is a developing story and we will provide updates as more information becomes available. This is a developing story.
