I wasn't aware that there was an international version, is it just a re-edited version of the UK one?
I think it was just a compilation programme for BBC America, not sure if it's still on there.
Like I said, it's still made but now only shown at weekends on World News, not America. It started off looking like this but has since adopted the domestic look.
What is more interesting is the very neat little trombone shot as they move the camera closer to hm so he can see the autocue better but keep him the same size (note the background flying backwards as he stays still)

At last...I see Newsnight finally have their new sofa...a red number, different to Breakfast's one though, and not quite as stylish as the old purple one...shame.
