Description
The outgoing BBC director general Tim Davie has told staff to "fight for our journalism", a day after US President Donald Trump threatened to sue the corporation for $1bn.
Davie and head of news Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday, after days of pressure sparked by a leaked memo.
The memo - written by ex-BBC adviser Michael Prescott - made a series of claims, including that Panorama misleadingly edited a speech by Trump from 6 January, 2021.
