BBC director general and CEO resign; Grandfather arrested in sexual assault case

BBC Director General Tim Davie and News Chief Deborah Turness have resigned amid backlash over a documentary accused of misleading viewers by editing a speech by US President Donald Trump. The network faces growing criticism over alleged bias in its coverage of Trump, the Israel-Hamas war, and trans issues.

Police in West Bengal’s Hooghly district have arrested the grandfather of a 4-year-old girl for sexually assaulting her. The man, who initially filed the complaint, confessed to the crime after investigators detected inconsistencies in his statement during the probe.
