The reason for the interruption? Saying goodbye to viewers around the world. Within seconds, the contributor was asked to continue her story - but this amassed quite a perplexed face as she didn't know what was happening. I really want to stick with BBC News, but when things like this happen it just makes it look quite sloppy. And this isn't anything against the staff working on the channel; it's just a shame this is what is left.
Although I do agree the way that this was handled was very sloppy, it used to happen with the old news channel too, but happening more often now!
They should schedule so that the interview finished when world viewers leave. Possibly just cut to the BBC closing titles, then back to presenter for the UK viewers.
These things seems to be so easy to solve so I'm not sure why they're still happening! It comes across as unprofessional!
