Someone how I think that's highly unlikely.
Have Vice always done stuff for Newsnight, don't remember it being the case before?

KBS' report explained that both ambassadors didn't want to sit together. What I noticed was the camera move when Mr. Paxman was switching one ambassador to another.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but what's the relevance/ context to this?

I can't really remember the last time that he presented. I know Victoria Derbyshire presented a week ago (which I'm never happy to see!), but nothing has been said at all. I find his departure from the programme a bit of a mystery, like you.
Laura Kuenssberg joins some time in February and will present once a week (Chris Cook, policy editor, joins next month too). Maybe the presenting was the bargaining chip/demand that made them have to get rid of Gavin, in order to lure Laura back to the BBC. I always held Gavin in high regard on Newsnight, certainly a lot better than Kirsty Wark. It's a shame, but Laura isn't a bad presenter at all. She's a great reporter.
Also, while we're on the subject of Newsnight staffing, there have been two appointments made this week. Katie Razzall, currently a reporter on Channel 4 News, is joining as a special correspondent, focusing on 'religion, legal affairs and disability issues and report on lighter stories and social issues.'
They also have a filmaker in residence, Olly Lambert, who will be with the show for three months.

Emily is doing a great job as Political Editor too. All round, Newsnight is getting better and better, and I can't wait to see the new on-screen talent in the coming months to improve the programme further.
I see Gavin Esler's profile has now been removed from the newsnight page. When did he present his last edition? Did they say anything about it?

The Khat documentary was done by them, had their branding and everything.
