On Thursday, May 4, the BBC anchor Lukwesa Burak was finishing up a segment on the vigil held for nine victims of a Serbia school shooting and introduced the next segment before the cameras cut.
"And that was Bethany Bell in Belgrade there. Around the world and across the UK, this is BBC News," she told the viewers.
The news bulletin then cut to a pre-recorded news segment involving bagpipes, before cameras unexpectedly cut back to Lukwesa in the studio.
The BBC host was seen stretching her arms over her head and muttering to herself "Okay!"
The presenter wasn't aware that the spotlight is back on her and when realised that she was still live on air, the anchor's eyes widened in shock. She immediately dropped her arms and turned her head down to the notes on her desk. The anchor was seen sitting in silence, staring down at her desk for several seconds.
