Jimmy Savile: BBC Newsnight editor Peter Rippon steps aside
The editor of the BBC's Newsnight programme Peter Rippon has stepped aside ahead of a Panorama investigation into why a Newsnight investigation into Jimmy Savile was dropped.
The Newsnight producer behind the dropped investigation warned his editor that the BBC was at risk of being accused of a cover-up.
The BBC's Home Editor Mark Easton reports.
Panorama Jimmy Savile - What the BBC Knew, will be shown on BBC One at 22:35 BST, 22 October.
