EXCL: The BBC Director General Tim Davie has apologised for the disruption caused across sports programming after removing @GaryLineker off air.
I put to him trust is a key value of the BBC, many don’t trust him - but he says he is not resigning.

The DG did NOT see any of my questions. Some inc:
What if Gary supported UK govt policy on migrants - that would be an opinion - would he have been taken off air?
What about BBC Chairman Richard Sharpe M? Why’s he in a job? He’s accused of facilitating a loan for Boris Johnson

Why was Gary allowed to criticise the Qatar govt on BBC? What was different this time? Because he attacked the Uk govt?
Did UK govt, Tory party - which you were once an official for - and right wing media put pressure on you?

To those who accuse me of being a BBC stooge… (other cliche insults are widely available in my mentions)…I spoke to @LukwesaBurak about my interview and doing my job.
In terms of why me and why in DC? Tim Davie happened to be in DC when the story broke and I am a North America Correspondent based here.
