The response was ready to go. After furious headlines in a British newspaper accused the BBC of institutional bias over a misleading edit of a speech by President Trump, top executives at the British public broadcaster knew they had to act quickly. It would acknowledge that Panorama, the flagship investigative program, had made a mistake by splicing together footage from Mr. Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before an attack on the Capitol. To their frustration, the executives, including the head of news, Deborah Turness, found themselves blocked by the BBC board, according to four BBC executives and another senior employee with knowledge of the events. News executives and board members were divided over whether to focus on the editing error, or to concede wider failings in the newsroom.

The Home Secretary said: “This country has a proud tradition of welcoming those fleeing danger, but our generosity is drawing illegal migrants across the Channel. “This week, I will set out the most sweeping changes to our asylum system in a generation. The country has reduced the number of asylum applications to the lowest number in 40 years and successfully removed 95% of rejected asylum seekers.

As the weather turned cool this autumn across England, Frankie the flamingo had apparently had enough. On a blustery Sunday morning this month, the juvenile bird vanished from the zoo in Cornwall where she was born.
