Nick Robinson closed the Today programme emphasising that the BBC Board is *still* fighting over the wording of a statement over the Panorama programme.
it is very strange that BBC chair Samir Shah is hiding this morning. He should by rights be on the Today programme presenting himself as in charge and hands on the tiller. I wonder if he is frightened for his position

I got the sense when MasterChef / Glastonbury controversy took place that DG Tim Davie would step down if such scandals kept coming. Think this one was the one that caused him to do so.
