The BBC will apologise for the misleading editing of a Donald Trump speech in a Panorama documentary, the Telegraph can disclose.
Samir Shah, the BBC’s chairman, will write to the culture, media and sport committee on Monday to express regret for the way the speech, made on the day of the Jan 6 2021 Capitol riot, was spliced together.
The apology will heap further pressure on Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, to quit over an 8,000-word dossier compiled by a whistleblower that alleged widespread bias within the corporation.
The Telegraph has previously disclosed that both Mr Davie and Mr Shah were warned of the doctored footage in May but appear to have kept quiet.
The decision to issue an apology now raises questions about why it has taken them six months to admit viewers were misled.
The Telegraph understands the apology will be for the misleading editing of the Trump speech. It is not clear what Mr Shah will say about the coverage of the Gaza war or alleged bias in the BBC’s reporting on gender, but it is understood that he may also advocate changes to the management and oversight of BBC Arabic.
The Panorama episode, broadcast a week before the 2024 US election, “completely misled” viewers, according to the memo written by Michael Prescott, a former standards adviser to the BBC.

The British government is busy jailing its native white people for spreading g misinformation. Yet the BBC gets a pass on its lies about Trump.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
Damage done & mission accomplished.
And the lie has made it around the world and embedded itself into the weak-minded morons world-wide.
They do this intentionally. “Oh, we are so sorry for that. We will send out a correction on that. Hope it didn’t cause too many problems.”
Trump should sue them……bigtime.
They’ll only refer to him as “Mr. Trump”, the disrespectful bastards.
You describe them perfectly.
How many are still repeating the lies from Charlottesville?
“Samir Shah.”
Are you freaking kidding me?
You are correct. An apology does not have to be accepted. The BBC is toast.
Friggin’ Brit fags. Lyin’ again. Real retarded haters.
Fine, let them apologize. But then they should be banned from every square inch of federal property for the duration of this administration. Let that serve as a warning to every other media company out there that there are consequences to purposely twisting the truth.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
After this is settled, it looks like the Telegraph will be involuntarily contributing to the Trump library or the new ballroom.
