The BBC has announced a shake-up of a key editorial committee following criticism of how the broadcaster handled concerns about the editing of a Donald Trump speech and other issues.

An internal review, published on Friday, said BBC executives did not act "quickly or decisively enough following the discovery of the misleading edit of a speech by President Trump in a Panorama programme".

The row over the edit sparked the resignations of the BBC's director general and head of news last month, and led to a multi-billion dollar lawsuit from Trump.

BBC chairman Samir Shah said changes to the BBC board's editorial standards committee would "ensure swift, appropriate and transparent action is taken to address editorial issues as effectively as possible, whenever they occur".

The committee will no longer include the BBC chairman, though. That means the revamped panel will not be headed by Shah, who came in for criticism for his handling of the recent crisis. It will also no longer include the BBC's head of news.
