BBC Bans 'Talent' Label for Presenters Amid Power Abuse Review

Director-General Tim Davie initiates cultural changes following scandals involving high-profile figures at the corporation.

Tim Davie, BBC Director-General, has prohibited the use of the term 'talent' for presenters, emphasizing a shift towards equality and service.
The decision comes in response to controversies, including the Huw Edwards scandal, which highlighted issues of power misuse at the BBC.
The BBC is conducting a review, led by Change Associates, to address workplace culture and prevent abuse of power.
Questions remain about the repayment of £200,000 to the BBC by Huw Edwards, who was paid during his arrest and resignation period.
Davie also highlighted the importance of the BBC World Service, warning about the influence of Russian and Chinese propaganda due to funding cuts.
