I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but what's the relevance/ context to this?

Someone how I think that's highly unlikely.

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 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?


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.
