New BBC boss to set out plans

The BBC’ s new director general is expected to set out his plans for the corporation next week – with impartiality a key focus.

Tim Davie, the former BBC Studios boss, takes over from Lord Hall as head of the broadcaster.

He starts as the BBC hit controversy over the decision to play orchestral versions of Rule, Britannia! and Land Of Hope And Glory at the Last Night Of The Proms.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he found the decision to remove the lyrics from the Proms difficult to believe.

The BBC is also expecting to receive a report into the use of social media by its staff.
