Just in case you’re interested – of course you’re interested! – it’s Mir TV’s Nadezhda Serezhkina doing a live weather report during an outside broadcast in Moscow.
It looks like we have lost the connection to our correspondent, said presenter Elina Dashkueva. We will try to connect with her momentarily.
Serezhkina was later back on air, saying no one was injured, but the microphone took a bite or two.
And these are our favourite things people said about it.
Well, she refused to throw it, what was the dog to do?
