On the air, a fall is heard behind the scenes, then a terrified Liz Truss walks out of frame.
The live-streamed debate of the candidates for the post of British Prime Minister Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak on Tuesday, July 26, was abruptly interrupted.
When Truss is in a close-up shot, a rumble is heard off-screen, like something heavy falling.
Truss says “Oh my God” and exits the frame, then the broadcast cuts out. The live video was replaced by a screensaver with a warning about technical problems.
According to the representative of the TV channel, the excess is of a “medical nature”, there is no security threat for the participants in the debates and the broadcasting of the debates will be resumed as soon as possible.
According to the Air Force, the cause of the incident was that the host of the program, Kate McCann, lost consciousness and fell.
