Cheeky children put on a show during professor's live TV interview
Professor Robert Kelly, from the department of political science at Pusan National University, was discussing the impeachment of South Korea's president Park Geun-hye on BBC World News during the 11am bulletin.
But as he talked to presenter James Menendez about President Park being ousted from power, a child burst into the room unannounced, and proceeded to dance behind him.

At this point, Prof Kelly seemed unable to answer the questions with the chaos unfolding behind him.
A split second later, a woman could be seen sliding into the room to frantically gather the children and pull them out.
As the children were heard wailing in the background, Prof Kelly smiled, apologised and continued his segment.
