BBC director-general Tim Davie, BBC News CEO Deborah Turness and a number of editors have resigned over a documentary edited and spliced by the BBC to mislead viewers.
Specifically, in the popular program called Panorama, the BBC documentary made it seem U.S President Donald Trump was (pointedly encouraging) the Capitol riot by Trump supporters especially the MAGA movement.
BBC Chairman Samir Shah on Monday, November 10, 2025, admitted that the documentary with the “edited” footage of Trump’s comments on the events of January 6, 2021 (which has been litigated as acts of insurrection) was an “error of judgement.
Meanwhile, Trump has threatened to sue the BBC.
