According to finnish Wikipedia, Nelonen Uutiset's last show was 6 January 2014 and was hosted by Mikko Hirvonen featuring Marco Bjurström & Katja Ståhl. Hirvonen was also the inaugural presenter of Uutiset.
Also, according to an article, the layoffs that took place where specific to Nelonen Uutiset, canning the entire on-air team and the editor of the programme.
Here is some of the articles (in Finnish):

Finland's Nelonen Uutuset is now once a day, shortest ever, HS Uutiset. What happened?


To put it bluntly, it's all about ratings. The channel's owners have literally become obsessed with ratings and Nelonen Uutiset wasn't 'performing' - although I have no idea why as the main presenter Marco Bjurstrom (who has been laid off along with scores of other journalists) is hugely popular in Finland. The news service has now been reduced to a 2 minute round-up at 655pm. Their reason for not completely killing off the news is because they have a license requirement to 'broadcast news'. The problem is that it doesn't specify how much news so they are able to get away with this! The HS branding is Helsingin Sanomat - Finland's biggest newspaper, so they're really just using the bulletin to promote the newspaper and it's online multimedia news presence.

I don't think people are watching news just to see the famous celebrities. They are willing to see what is happening right now.

I'm not a native Finnish so I can't understand the language at all, and therefore don't know if they are good presenters or not. But I find Mikko Hirvonen and Pasi Tuohimaa best. Hope they, as well as all the Nelonen Uutiset staffs laid off, find new place in YLE and MTV3.

(Now waiting Kendo Yanar's answer.)

And this is what the news on Slovenia's public broadcaster looks like today (the 1 P.M. news in this case):

From 1978, here's the intro to TV Aktua , produced by TROS in the Netherlands -- this has to be one of the first real newsroom sets in Europe (the clip is preceded by some continuity):

As far as I know, KBS World is available in Europe via satellite (FTA, I think).

Here are two more clips from the same YouTube channel...
