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.
Unfortunately this does happen from time to time when in the middle of an interview, BBC News has to say goodbye to viewers watching on a particular channel, i.e. World or BBC2. The presenter would inform the interviewee that this is "something technical" which they are doing, but I do wish that shouldn't conduct interviews with someone when they know a particular party will not see the full interview.
