BBC executives to find out their fate with publication of reports into Savile and McAlpine Executives who are vulnerable to criticism over the McAlpine fiasco include Adrian van Klaveren, the controller of Radio 5 Live who was acting head of news at the time, and Peter Johnston, the director of BBC Northern Ireland, who signed off the Newsnight programme which led to Lord McAlpine being wrongly named as a child abuser. A BBC source said: "Once the two reports are published we will find out what is going to happen to various people." The Pollard Review has looked into whether there were any failings in the BBC's management of the Newsnight investigation and whether the decision to axe it was linked in any way to a decision to broadcast two tribute programmes to Savile a short time later. It has also examined the publication of a blog on the BBC website by Peter Rippon which contained an inaccurate account of the reasons for the Savile report being dropped. George Entwistle, who was the BBC's Head of Vision at the time the Savile tribute programmes were broadcast, resigned as BBC director-general in November over his handling of the affair. Ms Boaden reportedly told Mr Entwistle that Newsnight was investigating Savile, and also told Mr Rippon to be as cautious with the investigation as if Savile were still alive. Mr Rippon, meanwhile, is likely to be criticised for his decision to shelve the investigation despite several witnesses giving corroborative accounts of abuse by Savile. Following the disastrous Newsnight report of November 2 which led to the Lord McAlpine fiasco, Ken MacQuarrie, the director of BBC Scotland, was asked to find out what went wrong. The full findings of his report will be published today, together with the decisions of the BBC Trust's Editorial Standards Committee on what action should be taken in response. Lord Patten, the chairman of the BBC Trust, will attend a press conference at noon together with Mr Pollard, the acting director-general Tim Davie and Dame Fiona Reynolds, senior independent director of the Trust.
