Is Kim Kardashian’s new drama All’s Fair really as bad as critics claim? What is with all the gloves?


Tim Davie is stepping down from his role at the top of the BBC after 5 years. What are the power struggles, political pressures, and internal drama shaking the corporation that has led to him announcing his departure, and that of CEO of News Deborah Turness?
