BBC head of news 'steps aside'

The BBC's director of news and her deputy have "stepped aside", the BBC understands.

The move by Helen Boaden and Steve Mitchell comes after director general George Entwistle quit on Saturday.

The BBC said it was not commenting yet, but there will be an announcement within hours.

Mr Entwistle resigned after a Newsnight report led to a former Tory treasurer being wrongly accused of child abuse.
